I see a lot of huff and puff in some of the posts here but whats lacking is common sense. Lets not try to bankrupt each other
as the side effects will have direct consequences on eachother.
BTW just curious when some of my Pakistani friends go overboard of Afghans being ungrateful, can you elaborate a bit more? Lets not get emotional its just a frank question that I would like to ask?

I think it might be good to list out examples of the following:
1. huff and puff in some of the posts here but whats lacking is common sense.
--> I think economic warfare is as old as civilization -- many would argue (not all) that it is a far more humane form than one involving pikes and axes
2. Lets not try to bankrupt each other
as the side effects will have direct consequences on each other.
--> Again countries try to do that -- not really very pleasant business -- but like war this is just a continuation of politics by other means -- and it is just coercion to achieving one state's
perceived interests -- again how do you perceive this would be catastrophic for say Pakistan -- it would, IMHO, achieve Pakistanis objectives?
3. BTW just curious when some of my Pakistani friends go overboard of Afghans being ungrateful, can you
--> this comes genuinely as a surprise? are you genuinely unaware of the Pakistani narrative -- if you are we can certainly iterate it again, but I think Afghan are well aware of the Pakistani narrative (which at least from a Pakistani perspective) is internally consistent. I, as other people of Pakistani heritage are similarly familiar with the Afghan narrative but it seems to lack basic internal consistency.
I think it would be good for both Pakistanis and Afghan to have an honest point by point discussion about each other narratives -- but that is if you are serious -- I have to say I personally have sent you several, what I would in good faith think are succinct points/questions -- but to not hear any response or sometimes and oblique parry: which I hope you shall agree is not really conducive to a dialogue.
