I presume you get your imagination from a steady diet of spy novels and movies. I wasn't asking why, but how? Is Pakistan going to give Taliban SAMs to shoot down US aircraft? And you will hide this from US how?

Again why would pakistan give SAM's to the Taliban....brain before typing

Your ideas are foolish as are your explanations. Perhaps Pakistan FO could use you.

See, what we are witnessing, is unprecedented. Islamabad is standing up to the American threats and coercion for the first time, surely our people have something in mind, no?
Sometimes, the forest must be lit on fire, for new life to grow.

Nice. Now what ever we are observing in Pakistan is the result of many years of abuse and mistreatment by both internal people and external people. Seen Nawaz case? only his children are with him. People are filled with rage against the abusers. And in the midst of all this anarchy came Mr Sam. Now we are in full mode of duel, even if we have sling shoot and other party has AK-47(with magazine full). We know we will be dead. But world will witness the fall of another super power by the hands of Pakistan.
USA better improve her relations with Pakistan. Remove that clown from president-ship. Otherwise, I think we have many many financiers for operation: Afghanistan-gum-pool(As said by Mullah Muhammad Omer)

Anti-US atmosphere

Pakistan's diplomatic battles with the US must not be fought in the streets of the country.

There is certainly reason to be gravely concerned by US President Donald Trump’s so-called South Asia strategy: it more or less casts Pakistan in the role of regional villain; ignores all of the country’s justifiable security concerns; and recklessly threatens to exacerbate regional tensions by seeking a larger role for India in Afghanistan with no mention of China, Iran or Russia.

But faced with American pressure or unreasonableness, the temptation in security circles in Pakistan is often to respond more unreasonably. Perhaps most damaging is the mobilising of Pakistani public opinion against America; casting the US as a bully that wants nothing more than to damage, undermine and humiliate Pakistan.

That may have short-term benefits — an angry civil society, media and public can act as a legitimate buffer against American demands — but it is to the long-term detriment of the true national interest. Most obviously, it limits the state’s ability to have a frank and open dialogue with the US, and makes necessary adjustments to controversial policies on both sides more difficult to achieve.

The Raymond Davis episode and the Salala incident in 2011 demonstrated the damage that the reckless mobilisation of domestic public opinion in the myopic pursuit of national security goals can inflict. What may have been conceived as a legitimate expression of public unhappiness with an arrogant superpower was quickly hijacked by the ultra right and soon the state was under pressure to sever ties altogether with the US.

The creation of the Difa-i-Pakistan Council after the Salala incident exemplified the problem. The DPC’s virulent anti-Americanism threatened to morph into uncontrollable anger against the Pakistani state and a demand for the overthrow of the existing constitutional, democratic order in the country. The bilateral relationship with the US was somewhat stabilised eventually, but the DPC continued to exist and, in the latest crisis, has once again emerged to preach its agenda of isolation and regressiveness.

In the messy reality of the region, there is an undeniable fact: given Pakistan’s interests in Afghanistan, tumbling towards a rupture in ties with the most important external actor in that country, the US, in no way serves this country.

Governments and states certainly need the support of their publics in the pursuit of external policies, but the Pakistani state should be careful lest it becomes hostage to its own domestic propaganda.

This is all talk. Remember Russia? After sanctions Russian economy halved, even when it has some of the highest oil reserves. Pakistan doesn't have oil that can keep it's economy floating.
