Spoken like a true ignorant indian. Where did you make comparisson of pakistan being north korea? Oh wait you are an Indan . They offered us F16 themselves please get your facts straight only bone of contention was the funding for the deal. Once they didnt agree Pakistan dropped the deal and looked for other options.

China may surpass US in size of economy. But I guess, US will still remain as the most influential country in the world. NSG proved it. Pakistan still require US more than it require China. China hardly has any friends.

Did...did you not read a single word I wrote?

Logic is if you are RIGHT you don't have to convince your friends to help you. They do help you. But when you ask them to follow you cause you think it'd right then there comes the problem

There's no right or wrong in international politics. Powerful get away with anything. Might is the only thing that's right.

Only for so long.

We don't have friends, just diplomatic relations that we abuse in our favor.

 

[jinn_baba]

There always is. You are mistaken.

And pray who defines what is right and what's wrong?

And you think that somehow pays for the countless children orphaned, people maimed killed? And it would be immensly naiive to think they'll not do such a thing in future.

Time defines what's right and wrong. But it always in "was"

They might escape with no or simple punishment but from now on nobody will follow them for things they said. A big loss.

WASHINGTON: Senior US lawmakers and their witnesses are gathering on Capitol Hill on Tuesday to once again ask Pakistan if it is America’s friend or foe.

The House Subcommittees on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade and Asia and the Pacific are jointly holding this hearing, hoping that it would help them determine how to deal with Pakistan, an old ally many in Congress no longer trust. The chairman of one of the subcommittees is a Republican lawmaker, Congressman Ted Poe, who never makes an effort to hide his dislike for Pakistan.

“This hearing will give members the opportunity to learn more about Pakistan’s longstanding ties to terrorist groups and allow for a more informed reassessment of US foreign policy priorities vis-à-vis Islamabad,” said Mr Poe while explaining why he had called the hearing.

Former US ambassador to Afghanistan and United Nations, Zalmay Khalilzad, is one of the three witnesses who have been asked to explain Pakistan and its policies to the lawmakers.

The other two witnesses are Bill Roggio, senior editor, Long War Journal, and Tricia Bacon, Assistant Professor, American University.

In a recent statement, Mr Khalilzad urged the United States to adopt a policy of total isolation against Pakistan and turn it into a “second North Korea” to force it to cooperate in Afghanistan.

“The United States has spent tens of billions of taxpayer dollars in aid to Pakistan since 9/11. Now, 15 years later, Pakistan’s military and intel services are still linked to terrorist organisations and little success has been made to stabilise the region,” said Congressman Matt Salmon, who heads the Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific.

“We must take a closer look at US goals, expectations and our aid spending in the region. In this hearing, we will discuss the Administration’s failed policy towards Pakistan and debate the best way forward,” he said.

We are your FOES. Now please get lost and leave us in peace. We don't want nothing to do with you people. We are not your oppressed, genocide committed against, conquered slave race like the Afghans and Iraqis are. We are the Pakistan. There is a reason why we are the first and only Pakistani nuclear weapons state.

You haven't read history my friend!

What Americans have not realised is that Pakistans security and counter defense against India is superb and has nullified India to zero. This has impressed the US immensely. So they think, same competence level is applied on other areas. But Other areas are not pakistans direct enemy, hence the level of alertness or effort is not as much. US thinks global, being a super power, pakistan thinks regional, being a regional power. Hence misconceptions on both sides of each other expectations.
