Use isolation threat to force policy change in Pakistan, report tells Trump admin

[ibnarastoo]

Designating Pakistan ....

Why are Indians allowed on our websites to mislead and strategise against us ? why are news outlets like Dawn succumbing to these people ? isn't the Tribune and its propaganda enough?

The list of signatories on this piece are the usual Pakistan bashing suspects - it's a regurgitation of their usual ranting and raving. The 'report' (authored by Hussain Haqqani and Lisa Curtis) can be read in its entirety at the link below;

List of signatories

Lisa Curtis, Senior Research Fellow, Asian Studies Center, The Heritage Foundation; Christine Fair Ph.D., Associate Professor, Security Studies Program, Georgetown University; Husain Haqqani, Director South & Central Asia, Hudson Institute; Polly Nayak, Independent Consultant; Aparna Pande, Ph.D., Fellow, Hudson Institute; and Bruce Riedel, Senior Fellow and Director of the Intelligence Project at Brookings Institution.

Good catch. That's rest the case here. These signatories are on war with Pakistan since like ever. Christine Fair went mad on twitter when those bloggers were picked up here. As far as Hussain Haqqani is concerned, well never mind we all the know about him.

Americans are complicated people, no idea why do they need a dozen think tanks to figure out Pakistan policy? ...It just takes a phone call.

Not since Pakistanis stopped believing stationed CIA agents and started bombing US in Afghanistan. The complicated nature of Pakistan political, military and strategic position in South Asia makes it even more complicated.

The good thing is that the pressure is on US and China both.

This State Sponsor Terrorism Tag on Pakistan should be removed, Do More Do More is being what i have been hearing for the past 10yrs, I guess its time now, Pakistan should take a stand & simply say Enough is Enough! Try not hiding your mistakes in Afghanistan, Iraq, Mess you created in Libya even though covertly....
Pakistan has fought war of terror, & come out strong from it as a Nation, We should start working on Getting our Foreign Policy back on Track & Foreign Office playing a Proactive role!

Well new administration have to look lots of ways before pushing Pakistan for anything.. for example performance of corrupt warlords in Kabul, Performance of ANA, What Afghanistan's neighbors like China, Pakistan and Iran are worried about? Why Russia is worried about Rise of ISIS and who is helping them to grow?

i heard Trump administration is also pushing bhartis to embrace US fully as leader and participate in containment of China and take fully hostile stance toward China or get kick in the arse aka back to Russia.. is it true?

Pakistan-Russia strategic realignment
February 07, 2017

ISLAMABAD: Russian Deputy Minister for Energy is scheduled to hold a meeting with Pakistani officials on February 9 (Thursday) to review progress on the North-South gas pipeline project as part of the fast-track preparations to pave way for the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Pakistan in May this year for inauguration of this multi-billion project.


The Russian President is coming to Pakistan, probably to sign the Pakistan Isolation Treaty 2017.

Oh wait, you were joking!

n particular, Washington must seek to work more closely with China, which shares concerns about the presence of terrorist groups in the region and the threat they pose to the proposed China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC),” the report ads

Only China can give some pressure on Pakistan for ""supporting terrorism "". And by admitting this US have prove they aren't the sole superpower to dictate policy of other country.

Still, how the hell you know that this story is fabricated too? Have any counter story to post?

And, doesn't matter if you are a veteran or a newbie: 2 + 2 is always 4 and writing like you are is a sign of immaturity.

Hey Pig'sGooFan..... DAWN is a POS source to quote. They're branded as sell-outs and anti-state by most patriotic Pakistanis.

And yes, being an old member at PDF (9+ years in my case) does make a difference. So go fk urself.

Tell me last time that position actually mattered.

Remember a dame named Robin Raphael ? Without whom billions of dollars in aid would not have reached the Pak treasury? The same one who was later under investigation from the FBI for espionage.

Cry me a ganga.

The pattern of Isolation word is not new here though we are having the fruits of PPPP/Hussain Haqqani, the loud & foul mouth that use to lobby since long against Pakistan and is actively involved to malign the state through concocted and fabricated stories. The stories are interested to the people that like to hear rather than the fact and if such people are left as such, we will be seeing more of propaganda in coming days. Let's Tump give it a try at once contrary to the reality check and facts on the ground and seems like HH & Co. itself wants to damage US more than before that too by opting this way of mislead while shooting from Trump's shoulders as currently, he is one of the best choices to blame for anything in US. Rest about DAWN, then its not new to read as such type of story from DAWN that has a pure intention and an agenda to publish whatever goes against Pakistan as well as to manipulate as much as it can.
