Who Won in Afghanistan???

How are you claiming that Pak economy is improving. I only see it getting increasingly burdened by CPEC debt. Unsustainably high power tariffs mean industries are reluctant to work in Pakistan.
Your entire hope is rested in 'Inshallah', and not actual effort.

Pakistan is already seeing higher exports year over year. There is direct investment coming in from the European development bank and world bank for CPEC and specially the European connectivity. Our electricity rates are still the cheapest in the region, Pakistan was subsidizing rates for gas and electricity for ever which was a dumb idea.

as More and more transitional trade and some Pakistani industrialization takes hold you will see a lot of assembly move to Pakistani helping develop a medium level economy like Taiwan over the next 10 years focused on the European market snd more importantly The Chinese market.

You built up a fairly reasonable argument, until you undermined it yourself by contending that the victories were possible for the parties that Pakistan "decides to support". The recognition you seek must deal with the perception that here is a country that can be paid or arm-twisted into doing just about anything, even going against its own national interests. That is hardly an argument for establishing any sort of value, is it?
After all, a used prophylactic might have been invaluable when in use for a good time, but very little value that can be recognized after the act.

I have not tried to build any argument, because I have only stated facts. I am surprised at myself for having this discussion with you for this long, this is becoming ridiculous. The perception it may or may not create is a separate discussion, which part of that are you failing to understand, I keep asking you to not make assumptions but you keep doing it. I'm sorry but that's unfair.

My statements in the original post are very clear, and factual. And, just to put your mind to rest regarding the new assumed aspects you have bought forward, NO, it does not create the perceptions you have assumed, that's a ridiculous thing to say. Each nation state acts to protect its interest, that means you do what is required, Pakistan helped America in the war on terror when it started, but when that war increasingly looked like it could be turning towards Pakistan, Pakistan changed its position to protect itself, which changed the course of the war.

You are creating new assumptions without putting much thought into them, you are opposing for sake of opposition to something I have not claimed I have merely put forward facts as they stand, without making tall claims but you wish to live in a condition where you only wish to find fault in Pakistan without reason, I do not have a remedy for that.

I admire your confidence, but surely you may wish to consider that it would take more than the help as a hired hand to establish enduring value to other nations, particularly those you mention. Things like stable governance (no matter what system), a productive population (at least not widely radicalized) and a vibrant economy (or even a viable balance of payments) are far, far more important.

Pakistan is not a hired hand, you idiot. Why are you stuck in lazy conclusions, and obsessed with belittling your country. If Pakistan was a hired hand, Pakistan would have reduced ties with China long ago because America has been demanding for a long time, it would not have opposed America in Afghanistan to protect its interests, it would have jumped into Yemen when it was told to do so, it would have recognised Israel decades ago, it would have given up on Kashmir and accepted Indian dominance decades ago, it would not have developed nuclear weapons nor a missile program because the world has been trying to stop Pakistan from day one, a hired hand would not have done any of those things.
You have no idea what you are talking about, you keep making silly conclusions based on bits of knowledge.

Please look at everything then form proper conclusions, do not provide silly short sighted conclusions based on bits of knowledge. AND, do not judge Pakistan separately from the rest of the world, look at how the rest of the world behaves and judge Pakistan accordingly, that's fair and decent, have some self respect.

Stable governance and blah blah blah other stupid things you have mentioned have nothing to do with the topic in this thread, you idiot, how hard is it for you to stick to the topic in the discussion, people only go off into tangents when they have nothing sensible to think of in their tiny heads.

Actually, I agree with that. I have been saying this on PDF for nearly a decade already: Pakistan must learn to serve its own national interests above any other considerations. Always.

You have a funny way of saying one thing and thinking other things, when Pakistan looks after its own interest you belittle it by calling worthless names, and all you can do is actively undermine without fair analysis. If you want those thing to happen then improve your thinking, please.

If you tell your kids all the time you are useless, you are nothing, you are this and that, without reason, what results do you think you are going to produce. Develop some self respect and apply fair analysis, judge Pakistan by how the rest of the world operates, that is fair and proper. You are not being fair, neither proper.

Dont look at exports in isolation. Compare them with imports and you see your trade deficit is increasing YoY.

There is fluctuation but on the right trajectory

So how do you handle your kid who keeps coming home with failing grades? Being realistic is the best way to be fair. Delusions hurt more than help in the long run.

Good, being realistic is indeed the best way, for that to happen first you yourself need to have a clear mind. And, leave one's own fantasies before making claims about others.

This is a simple thread about the results of each of the events I mentioned, nothing more.
You insisted on discussing the aftermath, to which I agreed.
BUT, you refuse to conclude the first part of the discussion and keep conflating the two, that way, you will never reach a conclusion,

Then in the last post, you bring in new topics such as governance and other rubbish, if you cannot see those are topics totally irrelevant to the first two topics then you are deluded and sorely need help.

If every discussion was to happen your way, there would be no point in discussing anything because a discussion would never end, people will die before reaching any conclusions. BECAUSE every subject under the sun is related in one way or another, you can keep introducing new topics on a regular basis. That's stupid.

Please recognize how to have a concentred discussion before you make big claims to try to sound clever. It's very childish.

Yes, you are right. You have proven your point. It seems the only side that keeps winning is the side that is supported by PAKISTAN.

Agreed. That's wonderful and speaks to the awesome qualities and assets and abilities Pakistan brings to the conflicts it chooses to participate in. It is very obvious to me now. I apologize for doubting your OP. I can now expect to see China win, considering that Pakistan has chosen to support it.

At least you are funny, so that's a positive, keep going and stay blessed.

The sad part in all these winnings is the loss of lives of innocent civilians in both Afghanistan and Pakistan and the way things currently are in Afghanistan there will be more blood shed of innocent civilians who are just paying the price of "being there" i.e. in their own homeland...sad.

Now on:
American Invasion of Afghanistan vs. Taliban
>> Taliban won (NOT YET), supported by > PAKISTAN - and the reason is if US decided to use precision airstrikes on Taliban on a continuous and consistent basis going forward Taliban will not be able to capture and if they capture strategically important regions (including capital) will not be able to maintain the environment for their operation (Governance) and therefore it will remain NOT YET for me.

Pakistan.

Lost fair and square.

It would take decades to crawl back the space lost in Afghanistan.

I have been thinking a little about the Cold War and the Afghan wars, which were instrumental in bringing about the downfall of the Soviet Union, and influential in modern world history.

One thing struck me; it’s an inescapable fact of history and perhaps a little foretelling of the future.

America vs. the Soviet Union in the cold war
>> America won, supported by > PAKISTAN

America wanted to have good relations with China
>> America did, supported by > PAKISTAN

America wanted to defeat the Soviets in Afghanistan
>> America did, supported by > PAKISTAN

India, Russia, Iran, CAR’s, all Afghan groups against the Taliban
>> Taliban won, supported by > PAKISTAN

American Invasion of Afghanistan vs. Taliban
>> Taliban won, supported by > PAKISTAN

America vs. China
>> To be decided, who will be supported by > PAKISTAN

It seems the only side that keeps winning is the side that is supported by PAKISTAN.
Seems like, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin's and Boeing won in Afghanistan.

Some Druggie who got all that Drugs which was transferred from Afghanistan to the USA via C-130's.

Who won ? Mainly the American government which succeeded in destroying yet another Muslim-majority society ( the DRA of the 1980s ).
