USA has pretty much nothing to fear from this confrontation. Specially if its a part of the withdrawal from Afg... Actually, if the so called conspiracy theory about USA wanting to break up Pakistan is true, then all USA has to do is to kill off most of the Pakistani military assets in a stand off war.. With the military power gone, Pakistan will automatically break up into 3 may be 4 different states..
And with about 50,000 men, no armour but significant air capability, they will be able to take down 1.4 Million military and paramilitary personnel and over 3 million militiamen? The US will rule the air and inflict massive casualties but they will have to face significant losses on the ground, after all, in the end, it will be the man on the ground that actually has to move forward to capture territory.
BTW, even with the infrastructure and military presence greatly reduced. Balochistan is the only province that will show a remote chance of trying to break away, the Baloch situation has been greatly inflated by tabloids. Here's the ground reality:
Balochistan is home to 5% of Pakistan's total population.
55% of the population of Balochistan is ethnic Baloch.
About 58% of the Ethnic Baloch are Bruhi that are very pro-Pakistan and have little sympathy for the Sulaimanki cause of seperation.
Out of 70 Baloch tribes, only 3 demand separation.
Hardly a successful secessionist movt.
SO who in Pakistan knows all the locations if not the most powerful man ?
No one person knows all the locations.
