Not denying the feelings of the common Pakistanis, but you do know the commoners are just a bunch of goats being herded by the elites and the in the upper echelons of the establishemtns. It was in your interest to to spin that Afghans are brothers because you needed them to bleed the soviets. The same Afghans are now drug dealers when the establishment has spun it otherwise.
Bottom line, there is no morality in geopolitics, you used Afghans because it was in your interest, the commoners may no ulterior motives but its not the commoners that in the driving seat of the policy making in Pakistan, is it ?
We will milk the US, India, Israel, Pakistan .... China and whoever which serves our interests [
realpolitik], it is not being cocky it is being in tune in how the world works.
