Here:
Not my problem if you haven't done your homework. Ground realities of the world are much more complex than your imaginations and delusions.
I do not approve of certain American policies and its hardline stance towards Pakistan but I am powerless to do anything in this regard just like any average joe. However, chest-thumping and delusions are not a substitute for ground realities. As a Muslim and a researcher, I strive for truthfulness and answers in all matters.

Those "stans" of central Asia are Russia background. The base in Kyrgyzstan is no more available to yanks.
They may have experience is operating in extreme winter in areas they control, where they have created their own infrastructure, do I need to underline here the status of Afghan roads in north?

I think the US administration is now realizing the limitations and risks of putting its bets on India.
Pakistan is indispensable whether one likes it or not.
That's the cold hard fact.

Nationalists like Trump and Modi have brought disasters to the world. Remember Hitler? I see Trump and his new found friend in the same league. Both are not just nationalists but are religious bigots too.

NEW YORK: The influential New York Times has advised President Donald Trump to adopt ‘diplomatic tools’ while dealing with Islamabad as America ‘cannot afford to walk away from Pakistan’.
In its editorial titled ‘Pakistan, the Endlessly Troublesome Ally’, the NYT suggested the administration to ‘harness his new friendships with the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to shut down Haqqani and other Taliban fund-raising efforts in the Persian Gulf’.
Pak-US ties hit rock bottom after a New Year tweet by Trump that accused Pakistan of ‘lies and deceit’ and later cutting off security assistance worth $1.3 billion annually.
He tweeted: “The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years,” he wrote, “and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!”
The editorial affirmed that Pakistan has provided ‘vital intelligence’ in global war against terrorism and the pressure on the ally will push it more ‘closely towards China, which is already investing in major new infrastructure projects and expanding its international leadership at America’s expense, and be more hard-line in its rivalry with India’.
Referring to crucial supply lines for US military in Afghanistan, the NYT warned that Pakistan could shut Ground Lines of Communication as it did in 2011 after attack on a post at Afghan border.
‘Almost every military flight into Afghanistan goes through Pakistani airspace. Most supplies travel along Pakistani roads and rails. Pakistan could shut down American access at any moment, and some Pakistani officials are threatening to do just that.’
‘Trump’s bombast and the precipitous way the decision seems to have been made have led to doubts that Mr. Trump has a serious plan for managing the ramifications of this move’, the editorial noted.
