US to release CSF?

MAY

 

[Hammad ur Rehman]

I don't think that Biden Administration would be so keen in enhancing relations & releasing the old and/or new CSF.

In case if they do then priorities should of acquiring soon to be retired Block 42s ( some +40), may be buying new 18-36 Block 72s, upgrade of 52s to 72 standard, missiles & munitions.

Why Block 42s, because they have enlarged intakes, if they do not have 229 engines then uprated ones can be installed, they have provision built into structure to fix Conformal Fuel Tanks which will extend the range.

Another important thing to get is setting up a Maintainence, Repair & Overhaul facility at Faisal AB Karachi & away from Kamra where the US may have objections due to the presence of Chinese.

If you would remember there is an engine testing facility at Faisal AB & earlier F-100 engines were maintained & tested here so there must be some infrastructure available there & more can be constructed as there is plenty of open space available & there is secure housing at Karsaz for any Americans.

This will allow us to maintain our F-16s for another 40-50 years instead of sending them anywhere.

Well all is wishfull thinking.

The negative impact on Pakistan’s image came from the lynching of Sri Lank

If US interest and such briefings really were meant for actual democracy and all the annexures, India would have been boycotted like NK. Sorry but just one case has become so much a concern, in-fact Pakistan didn't ignore it as a single case rather took action and culprits are behind bars but, hypocrisy is wearing a new Prada everytime when it's about Pakistan.

No no, America is at a very critical time with China now and it’s not going to tilt balance against India by selling us what we really want off them! We will have to scavenge or beg others sell us there’s none American of course not allowed to us haha

US bill drops negative references to Pakistan

Original text sought to determine Pakistan’s role in Taliban’s victory in Kabul but the new text does not mention this reference.

www.google.com

WASHINGTON: The US House of Representatives has dropped all references to Pakistan from a bill that sought to blame the country for enabling the Taliban to capture Kabul in August this year.

But this comes with a negative development too. Last week’s tragic death of a Sri Lankan factory manager in Sialkot seems to have increased concerns about the security situation in the country as the Americans become more secretive about official US visits to Pakistan.

The original text of the US National Defence Act for 2022 required the US secretaries of defence and state to certify before a relevant Congress committee that providing “covered support” to Pakistan was in the national security interest of the United States.
The amended version changed the text by striking off “Pakistan” and inserting “any country in the near abroad of Afghanistan”. Another reference in the original text sought to determine Pakistan’s role in Taliban’s surprising victory in Kabul. The amended text does not mention this reference either.

The act, however, retains a condition to probe the cause and effects of the US withdrawal. It suggests forming a commission to do so, with the authority to review the role played by Afghanistan’s immediate and distant neighbours.

Another indication of continued US interest in maintaining, at least, a working relationship with Pakistan came earlier this week when the Biden administration invited Islamabad to its first-ever democracy summit, held in Washington on Dec 9 and 10.

Commenting on the invitation, an influential Washington think-tank, Brookings Institution, cited two reasons for inviting Pakistan and not inviting Bangladesh, “which scores slightly higher” on the US democracy index.
Since 2015, Pakistan’s score has improved slightly, while Bangladesh has worsened,” and another likely factor was the US “desire to balance India’s inclusion with a regional, if aspiring, democratic rival,” the report added. While India ranks in the middle tier of the index, its “scores on constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, and fundamental rights have significantly decreased” from 2020 to 2021, Brookings explained.

The negative impact on Pakistan’s image came from the lynching of Sri Lankan factory manager Priyantha Kumar on Dec 3.

Soon after the incident, a US Senate delegation visited Pakistan.

The delegation — which included Senators Angus King, Richard Burr, John Cornyn and Benjamin Sasse — met Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday and expressed the desire to maintain friendly relations with Pakistan.

But the news of their arrival, and meetings in Islamabad, was released after the delegation’s departure, apparently on US instructions.

The United States and other Western nations have had concerns about Pakistan since the 9/11 attacks in America. But Washington had slowly become less strict with the restrictions.

US officials had started talking about future visits to Pakistan at official briefings as well, although the schedules were never announced. But after the Sialkot tragedy, the Americans seem to have returned to their old practice of talking about a visit to Pakistan only after it’s over.

Plenty of blacks get shot in USA too by US police .
So they are not guilt free in this aspect either.

When it comes from USA, whole world will know....

Let's be clear Pakistan is not the only country that is eligible for CSF. Though Pakistan was the biggest recipient of CSF in the past, other countries like Jordan and other countries on the frontlines of WoT also received CSF.

If they do release csf we should go on a big buying spree and stock up on American weapons before Americans change their mind again or before someone like trump takes power again

The US can designate the US of CSF as they wish. I doubt in the current dispensation it will use it for weapons, perhaps direct cash payments or offsetting of loans, assuming Pakistan even gets CSF. It's a long road from point A to point B.

Without qualification, this was a tragic incident.

But using this as an excuse to paint the whole country in a negative color shows the intent of US. It is finding excuses to lynch the country. Pakistan is too big. Although this incident cant be condemned enough, only this incident cant be used to judge entire Pakistan, its society or its politics.

P.S. : Pakistan is not getting any money. It will only get its money when it plays to the American tune. The current American diktat is for Pakistan to become subservient to American interests, give in to India and abandon China.

 

[Thorough Pro]

Screw them, we don't need their money. They start bitching "Do more" again as soon as we get that pesnut support. Let them shove it up their gay *** and tango with gay bharti's

more US slavery on its way

 

[Reichmarshal]

They are only fulfilling their end of the bargain for the withdrawal of their forces from Afg.

We due to our past bad experiences wanted things up front but they thought it would look too obvious n bad for them, so through guarantors, we agreed to this scheme of things.
CSF amount they awe us is more than 10 billion $

 

[jinn_baba]

Oh please don’t

 

[Pakstallion]

Took some digging and found a tiny amount of CSF requested for 2022 - 60,000,000 - 60 million. By comparison we pledged 28 million to Afghanistan ourselves. It’s on page 7.
