You want to get into that discussion? We never aligned with them, we double crossed them at every turn and that's no secret. We harbored and protected Talibaan and that is the reason the US were so pissed off with us. But where did it all lead to? It led to a position where our relations with the US are estranged and we are all looked at as if we are terrorists; and worst of all, now we have problems with the Talibaan, our border with Afghanistan is not secure and we are facing threats from those whom we fed and nurtured at the cost of our own country for decades.
We are reaping what we sowed and it is divine justice. Had we actually aligned with the US and taken out all the ungrateful Talibaan then we would not have been in this mess, the US wouldn't have eventually turned a blind eye to the presence of RAW and their nexus with TTP in Afghanistan, the NDS etc., would not be actively working with anti-Pakistan agencies and groups and we would have been much much safer and financially better off.......alas, here we are, reaping what we sowed!
Again I have to remind you of history. You are talking about the very recent past, when you talk about we "doubled crossed" "aligned" etc, first let's talk about who, why, and when the Taliban were created, as soon as the US was done with USSR they left the mess for us to handle, this is the exact problem that made us change our strategy for Afghanistan 2.0 and it points out to the same problem, US comes to this regions, asks for all the support, F**** it up, run with the tail between their legs and leave the mess for others to handle.
Again in 70's, there was no Taliban, no double-crossing, etc, we were very much aligned, where was the Seventh Fleet, it was coming for our support, it has been 51 years they have not reached yet.
Americans are the most selfish bunch out there, and I do not blame them, it helps their country, their people, their government, and their establishment. The question is why are we not selfish for our country, our people? We are always running around to please them, if this is not slavery then I wonder what it is.
