Diplomacy bhai.Two pages and only 1 reply is worth reading…even though I don’t fully agree with it.
As mentioned earlier, we don’t gain anything from engaging a warmonger. Pakistan needs to establish itself in a future multipolar world whereby they engage with bothsides.
The way PTI is handling this is embarrassing. First get the Americans to admit they interfered OR retract that they interfered.
Meeting with nobodies in the American political sphere does nothing for PTI. It just helps fill the ego of some PTI supporters who thinking meeting with a GORA is some kino of accomplishment.
PTI needs to engage with US, the same way it has to engage with all the other countries.
You get your point across, and listen to theirs. There will need to be give and take, eventually.
Sure the Americans did what they were not supposed to and was akin to interference and conspiracy. I am talking about RCO. The State Department’s clerk message was loud and clear and Pakistanis know which side of the isle were they on when RCO was being undertaken.
Having said that, PTI in capacity of the opposition is free to engage the US, Republicans or Democrats.
There won’t be solid outcome of the diplomatic discussion, I will be very much surprised if they do. Think of it as both sides understanding each other’s point of view and report to their higher ups and for the think tanks to charter future course of actions.
The Americans or the Chinese or the Indians will try their very best to subvert, coerce, push, nudge Pakistan to do their bidding by whatever means necessary. Its upto the Pakistanis to think about Pakistan’s interests. That we both would agree, is not happening by any stretch of imagination.
All in all, it’s a good thing PTI supporters are challenging PTI.
