Afghanistan-India Pact Defeats Pakistan Army
The recent strategic security pact between Afghanistan and India has, with immediate effect, defeated Pakistan Armys past, current and future domestic, regional and international designs. The Pakistan Army has lost its power.
To justify its extravagant existence in a poor country, Pakistan Army declared India its enemy. To generate cash through international extortion, Pakistan Army declared Afghanistan its backyard.
Now, the imagined backyard has gone over to the imagined enemy putting Pakistan between the jaws of a real vise-grip, the squeeze of which can be attenuated by the signatories of this pact whenever need be.
The NATO and the U.S. are already Afghanistans allies. In effect, India, now is an ally of the NATO and the U.S., as well, at least, as far as Afghanistan is concerned.
This new grand alliance can be compared, to some extent, with the cooperation between the Allied forces and the Soviet Union against Germany during World War II.
Pakistan, though, is not as strong as Germany was during the war. If Afghanistan and India begin a concerted onslaught, Pakistan would not last a week.
The Pakistani top brass fully understand this new predicament the pact has placed them in and, would thus simply behave giving up their practice of sending their hireling terrorists into Afghanistan and India and elsewhere. This change, alone, eliminates the danger of a disastrous war in the region.
The world in general and the Western powers bogged down in Afghanistan, would benefit from a peaceful secure South Asia.
The Pakistani top brass would now try to hide behind the political leadership who would rejoice in their new position and would cut the armys size and budget as they wished.
The armys choke-hold on the media would end and the market forces alone would determine the flow of information in the Pakistani society.
Pakistan would now be open to the workers and volunteers of the international aid agencies, academics and journalists who had been driven out of Pakistan since Daniel Pearl.
The recent security pact between Afghanistan and India can be termed a monumental diplomatic coup in the history of international relationsa classic maneuver Machiavelli and Chanakya may have liked to cite as an example, a decisive event which may win a chapter in the future text books of warfare, diplomacy and global politics.
The signing of this pact affects Pakistan the way D-Day affected Germany. Germanys defeat and surrender a year later was essentially bundled in the successful landing of the Allies in Normandy as the Soviet armies formed the eastern prong of the greatest pincer movement in the history of warfare.
On June 6, 1944, the Allied forces had the whole France to fight across to reach the German borders and the Soviets had to regain the territory lost to the 1,200-mile-deep Nazi incursion in 1941.
Comparably, the job would be much easier for the armies of Afghanistan and India as they do not have to fight across any territory to reach the borders of Pakistan; they are already right there to begin their two-pronged advance into Pakistanif it comes to that.
And, it would not come to that because the Pakistani generals do not want to be prisoners of war nor, do they want to stand trial in the Hague.
The 64-year-long conflict in South Asia has come to an end.
