Pakistan still a strategic partner, reaffirms US

[peagle]

Is this a joke?
Someone please tell me because I honestly cannot tell.

These Americans are crazy to think we will ever trust them again, without solid, definable and beneficial steps that show they are friendly towards Pakistan.

Even, with the US support, which obviously is there, without any doubt, he remains a "Band Master".

That's right, band master of the army of paper tigers.

- F16s banned

Not banned. We just have to pay with our own money now

- Grey list placement

Complying with FATF has done us more good than harm.

1 - US has not provided fully capable F16s to Pakistan ever !
2 - I agree with that (Always maintained that) however FATF is more of a political tool than an actual audit tool.

Pakistan and US cannot be seen with the same optics as US and horn of Africa or Syria or Libya etc. Who are the people directly affected by WOT in Afg? You will find these same people do not align with Pakistani ideology either.

If Afg hadn't been invaded, TTP would have been 100 times stronger and over time FATA and KPK would have gone into civil war as that was the AQ/Taliban game plan to break up Pakistan and strengthen Afg.

US will always pick Pakistan over Afg, they will always pick Pakistan over Iran. So develop this leverage, create a good relationship like during the cold war and break the backs of your enemies.

Convenient to point toward TTP, but fail to mention the real enemies of Pakistan are within and across the Eastern Border. The latter by the way, is the preferred ally state of Washington DC. That has been made clear to Pakistan on a number of occasions. Be it the Nuclear Deal where Pakistan was left in the lurch in Musharraf's time. Or be it French engines and radars for JF-17 Thunders where Paris ditched Islamabad in reference for New Delhi.

A state's credibility is one of the basis on which partnership can be established. America's or the West's in general, have little to no credibility as they have demonstrated to be liars, cheats and thieves .... not to mention warmongers.

And whom do you suppose is the hand behind TTP? I would not be surprised if tomorrow Pakistan's Intelligence Agencies find evidence of India's involvement with TTP.

The West, on principle is not one to build any partnership with. History has proven (if any have ever bothered to study it) that the West can, has and will always leave it's partners in the lurch when it pursues it's interests. So I don't know about you, but those are not the qualities on which partnerships are built upon.

Pakistan must look towards developing stronger ties with those countries that are not aligned with the West. The entire South American and African continents are staring at us point blank and asking "what the hell are you waiting for?"

US values relationship with Pakistan across a number of fronts: State Dept​

• Spokesperson Price says Pakistan is a strategic partner in response to a question

BR Web Desk
04 Feb, 2022

The United States has said that it has an important relationship with Pakistan which it values across a number of fronts."

During a US State Department briefing on Wednesday, a journalist referred to a recent statement by Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi who blamed the BJP government in India for pushing Pakistan into the Chinese camp.

"I will leave it to the Pakistanis and the PRC [People’s Republic of China] to speak to their relationship. I certainly would not – would not endorse those remarks," US State Department's Spokesperson Ned Price replied.

"Why do you think Pakistan is working so closely with China? I mean, do you think they’re – they feel abandoned by the US?" Price was asked by a journalist.

"We’ve made the point all along that it is not a requirement for any country around the world to choose between the United States and China," the spokesperson replied.

He further said that is the US intention to provide choices to countries when it comes to what the relationship with the United States looks like.

"And we think partnership with the United States conveys a series of advantages that countries typically would not find when it comes to the sorts of partnerships that – “partnerships” may be the wrong term; the sorts of relationships that the PRC has sought to – has sought to have around the world.

"Pakistan is a strategic partner of the United States. We have an important relationship with the government in Islamabad, and it’s a relationship that we value across a number of fronts."
The spokesperson's statement comes after Gandhi, while speaking in Lok Sabha on the Motion of Thanks on President’s address during the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament, had said that government's stand on China and Pakistan worked only to unite the two countries together against India.

"The single biggest strategic goal of India has been to keep China and Pakistan apart. But what you have done is brought them together. You have committed the single biggest crime you can commit against the people of India. China has a plan," Gandhi said.

"The strategic goal of India should have been to keep China and Pakistan separate. But what you have done is to bring them together. Do not underestimate what we are facing. This is a serious threat to India," NDTV quoted Gandhi as saying.

Strategic partner?
- F16s banned
- Helicopters banned
- CSF stopped
- Grey list placement

What kind of strategic partnership is that?

That’s the “strategic” part. The other part “partner” is the scapegoat for everything else.

Maybe they are going to ease up a little, who knows.

Just have to wait and see.
