Looks like things getting back to normal again.

I doubt this very much, but if true the Yanks are finally stepping off the high horse. The real challange for the Yanks will be the Indians. The Indians have for a long time now dictated the Pakistan policy in Washington. The Indians have shaped the anti-Pakistan narrative. Both the military and civilian rulers in the US have bought this narrative. It will be a challenge for the US to displease Hindustan and reverse the Pakistan policies. The litmus test for the USA is Afghanistan. If this is a pass, I am willing to believe anything.

Its support equipment! That's nothing out of the ordinary how do you think we're keeping Orions, Hercs, F16s and other US made equipment still in service?

Whilst this equipment has its limited value, it is strictly monitored by the Americans. There are insane clauses about its usage. I am very glad that Pakistan is wise enough to diversify. American equipment comes with many strings attached. It is like owning a gun in your drawer that you bought with your own money, but cannot use without permission in time of need.

Trump may stop it at the last moment. I would only believe it after it is delivered.
