May be not today, but within a few months of implementing PTI's election manifesto, yes, certainly could be possible, if the implementation is successful.

Oh yes indeed. Imran Khan said things will change in 55 days.
If that happens, Pakistan will be the better for it.
 
The US must realize that they need us and therefore must treat us as equal partners in the war on terror. If we are treated as slaves it is counter-productive to our cause of fighting terrorists. Pakistan should assert its independence in this relationship and be willing to target militant commanders like Fazlullah in Afghanistan. Pakistan is a very subserviant ally instead and this is a huge issue.
 
your reserve is lower than $6B and yet several loan payment to follow...you can not say...No
 
Pakistan survived sanctions because Pakistan became ally in war on terror just in three years after nuclear test and more than 20 billion aid flowed in.

Sanctions were imposed in 1990. These were lifted in 2001. We survived then and we shall survive again.

Still the toughest sanctions came in 1998.

It depends on ones interpretation. For me the toughest were those imposed in 1990 because we were not prepared. In 1998 we were already under sanctions and had a policy on how to fight them.
 
congrats pakistan :pakistan:

The relations had always been give and take.

recently US tonned down its criticism of Pak-Iran gasline as well.

Only Pakistanis and Americans can understand these relations the Indians had always been misjudging
 
I believe it's a great gesture from USA in terms of increasing 40% aid to Pakistan. I believe USA wants to salvage whatever they can from this relationship which is going doldrums for long. Pakistan should appreciate this increment and use this money to further build arms against terrorists and India.
