No Exit From Pakistan

No Exit from Pakistan
America's Tortured Relationship with Islamabad

The story of the tragic and often tormented relationship between the United States and Pakistan, and a call to prepare for the worst, aim for the best, and avoid past mistakes.

CFR Senior Fellow Daniel Markey tells the story of the tragic and often tormented relationship between the United States and Pakistan. Pakistan's internal troubles have already threatened U.S. security and international peace, and Pakistan's rapidly growing population, nuclear arsenal, and relationships with China and India will continue to force it onto the United States' geostrategic map in new and important ways over the coming decades.

No Exit from Pakistan explores the main trends in Pakistani society that will help determine its future; traces the wellsprings of Pakistani anti-American sentiment through the history of U.S.-Pakistan relations from 1947 to 2001; assesses how Washington made and implemented policies regarding Pakistan since the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001; and analyzes how regional dynamics, especially the rise of China, will likely shape U.S.-Pakistan relations.

By offering three options for future U.S. strategy--defensive insulation, military-first cooperation, and comprehensive cooperation--Markey explains how Washington can prepare for the worst, aim for the best, and avoid past mistakes.

So he says all those Pakistanis who go abroad for studies are considered sold to serve American interests.

Near the end, he says PM Imran Khan needs to be protected because he has stood up against the US.

However, someone please tell him, PM Imran Khan also studied abroad, married into a powerful Jewish family as well as has a daughter in the US.

Perhaps people can change?.... I sure have from my youth of sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll...

If I were the Chinese, I'd seriously think about curtailing their investment in the CIA/CENTCOM controlled Pakistan...recall J-10s and demand they be paid in full, eject any military and trade contingent and also kick out any Pakistani students spying in Chinese universities.

If you listen to Bajwa in ISD, he said china is our neighbor and not strategic partner. Pakistani's should just look at sri lanka, which had 8 billion debt of china, in pakistan it is more than 60, the moment china did not rollover. The situation in pakistan would be far worse than what is happening in sri lanka.

More reason to hedge your bets by going to Amreeka bahadur for $500 million CSF and truly jeopardize $60 bn investment

How will his book sell unless there is sensation, international conspiracies, Pakistani Nuclear Weapons and other BS?

I agree 100%

By allowing the American-funded coup to go ahead, the Pakistani military has destroyed its credibility. It has proved to China that it is either incompetent or compromised. Either way it cannot be trusted.

China has one real friend, and that is Pakistan and more specifically the Pakistan military. If Pakistani military was incompetent, Chinese would not be wasting their time with it for the past 6 decades.

Secondly, you are not in a position to say that it is "compromised" or "cannot be trusted" because you don't know what kind of pressure Pakistan is under right now and has been in the past and despite that Pakistan and China have never double-crossed each other. On top of that, we don't have the benefit of Chinese largess to help stave off the many problems with the international monetary system.

It is the Chinese who repeatedly tell the GoP to maintain balanced ties with the Americans and even the Indians. Now suddenly they will not start looking at Pakistan differently just because the government in Pakistan changes. What gives China and Pakistan continuity is the security establishment in Pakistan. This was the case in the past, and it will remain the case in the future.

Many of us, including myself, are greatly saddened with the recent situation. However, unlike many here, I am not willing to accept that everything including Pak-China relations have gone to hell.

You are a work of art for the hatred towards the Imran khan and always use your twisted line of thought to express your views against him. Have you ever read to read between the lines or you are one of those who can only read the one liners. Grow up and put away your narrow mindedness, its matter of our country which belongs to all of us not only to the Imran Khan.
