Pakistan no longer ‘up for sale’: NSA

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

National Security Adviser (NSA) Dr Moeed Yusuf has said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has set a new paradigm whereby the country will no longer be ‘up for sale', rather, it would orient its policies around safeguarding and standing up for its interests.

“Pakistan is going to stand for what its interests are, not emotively but very pragmatically,” he said in an interview with journalist Dr Moeed Pirzada, for Global Space Village.

“This has invited much criticism, with many deeming it a mistake, but it is true – Pakistan no longer will host bases,” he said, with regard to not allowing the airbases to any other country in future.

Dr Yusuf said for the past 20 years, there was an unwinnable war that “some wanted Pakistan to win for them, which was simply an unrealistic goal”.

He mentioned that in the past, decisions had been taken without the public on board, which ultimately “backfired”.

“This is a paradigm that this prime minister has set with every country and not just the United States,” he said, adding that “If there is a condition which Pakistan does not feel to be in its interest, we will not go for it”. APP

“Pakistan is going to stand for what its interests are, not emotively but very pragmatically,” he said

That is an excellent approach, and the only one that all countries must follow.

It took our leadership over 74 years to realize this.........

Yet we have allowed a US diplomat to visit a criminal.

Makes you think that the Establishment is a collection of khusras.

Actually no. The country was very pragmatic and strictly followed a policy of chasing the side with the butter. Thus in 1950s the country tilted to USA and China. The former was the only source of dollars and weapons to counter the much larger India. This was hard realism at work. And Pakistan got a windfall from it. From new capital city, new cantonments, F-104 Starfighters to Patton tanks all free courtesy of US taxpayer.

This continued in 1970s by Bhutto who smelled there was whole mountain of butter to be carved out in the newly rich Arab oil kingdoms. Petrodollars smelled nice. Thus Bhutto gathered all the Bedouins in a tent in Lahore to fleece them.

Al went well. However by 1980s with religion and mullacracy gaining ground pragmatism came under pressure and even attack as idealogues wanted to chase ummah dream and thus moved away from Pak centric strategy to a trans-Islamic utopian delusions. I feel Pakistan has still not recovered from this hallucination.

As long as we don't acquiesce to the american demands, it doesn't matter.

Could have told the diplomat to sod off when she asked for a meeting with Qatari aunty. Our establishment loves to play games.

If you have had politician whores willing to sell Pakistan for a few measly $$$ to buy houses in London.... You cannot expect anything else....

Better late then never, but who’s looking to buy us anyway? The US is making demands, not looking to extend offers or expand ties etc.

Actually, the US is not even making any demands as are being imagined and then vehemently denied.
