We have no authority to enter Pakistan, US parameters only surround Afghanistan: Pentagon

A wise one once said "With Great power comes Great Arrogance" .

These Leaders of freedom entered in Vietnam/Iraq/Libya/Afghanistan/Syria/Pakistan(OBL incident) etc uninvited and destroyed everything because they could .

These Vultures call themselves Leaders of Free World because they trampel everyone's freedom

Thanks to Allah for giving us a strong Army and blessing us with nukes else by now we would have been overrun by these vultures of freedom
 
Good that they realised it and acknowledged it. Now we can move forward.
My approach is slightly different. Total disengagement with USA is not advisable for Pakistan so it has to play along but keeping its national interests in focus. However you don't do is accept their dictation, you don't buy any weapon system from them whatsoever and you do not accept any aide rather if you collaborate on certain issues that is in Pakistan's interest as well, you do like a pure business transaction and never agree to use the word aid and everything has to be paid in advance regardless of what their senators claim about their legal issues in congress. Use that money to develop your own indigenous capacity or buy from Turkey, China, Russia or any country that is not under US influence. Also if some weapons are required as part of some collaboration, those should be sent in advance and before that Pakistan won't do a jack squat. Furthermore, force USA to take actions against all sanctuaries of terrorists in Afghanistan and that includes NDS and Indian consulates.

I think it's about to happen.
What's about to happen mate?

The opposite of what they say they wouldn't do.
Nope, that will be there biggest mistake, if they can't fight a handful of Taliban for over a decade, do you think they can engage Pakistan militarily in direct confrontation? I don't think Pentagon is such a fool but anyways, Pakistan is ready for any eventuality and they should be ready to bid good bye their illegitimate child in the middle-east.

Strategic disengagement is the term from Munir Akram if I remember correctly...

if that happens than last efforts of keeping Pakistan US relationship will die an instant death .. Nato supply will be shut for months, and that will effect the War in Afghanistan, which will eventually hurt US and allied Forces .
 
I wonder why these psychopaths aren't even on the same page. What a disorganized piece of $hit they're. Everyone is a shot caller.

But do pursue the ones inside Afghanistan. That control more than 50% of Afghanistan :)

US State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert on Tuesday said that Pakistan has taken positive steps in the right direction in the crackdown on terrorist groups, Radio Pakistan reported.

During a press briefing in Washington, Nauert also said that the meeting between US Vice President Mike Pence and Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbas last week in Washington discussed US’ South Asia strategy.

The spokesperson further said that Pakistan can play a critical role in bringing Afghan Taliban to the negotiation table.

The Pentagon, on Monday, said that there are no plans for US forces in Afghanistan to cross international borders in order to chase the Taliban or other terrorist groups conducting attacks inside Afghanistan.

Lieutenant Colonel Mike Andrews told Pajhwok Afghan News, “Say, for example, we have troops in contact and then the Taliban forces go across the border. They are clearly inside Pakistan then. There’s no change with regards to respecting the territorial sovereignty of Pakistan.”

US Vice President Pence says Pakistan ‘must do more’ against Taliban

Andrews reiterated that they would not be entering Pakistan, but there can be exceptions. It was not going to be a routine operation, it’s not going to be normal day-to-day operational rules of engagement, the spokesperson stated.

“To be clear, US military authorities are within the borders of Afghanistan only. We have no authority to go into Pakistan. If there is a way to get that authority, but that would certainly be the exception and not the norm,” a spokesperson for the Department of Defense said.

“If the Taliban reside in Pakistan and we are able to provide safety and support and to help secure districts and provinces within Afghanistan, I think that is a tradeoff that we’re willing to make. Because it’s not necessarily about these people over in Pakistan, it is about the Afghan people,” Andrews said.

“And what happens in Pakistan, we can’t have any control on that. I certainly think that in the east, in the southeast, we have more, whether it’s close air support, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance. We have certainly put more combat enablers there to limit the effect of those groups,” he further added.

Andrews further added that the US will focus on regaining the provinces that the Taliban claimed or contested, adding that there was enough work to be done inside Afghanistan to reduce their influence and provide more security to the citizens.

The US will, however, expect Pakistan to ensure that there are no sanctuaries where the Taliban or others could reside, “that’s something that Pakistan is going to have to do,” he added.

Andrews said the focus of Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’ trip to Afghanistan last week was to review progress on the South Asia Policy and see the preparedness of the Afghan security forces for the upcoming fighting season. “We are hopeful Pakistan will take action because not only do we feel it is going to serve Afghanistan, but it’s going to help protect Pakistan, India and the entire region,” he argued.

All terrorist sanctuaries including Haqqani network eliminated, says DG ISPR

Last week, DG ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor said that sanctuaries of all terrorists groups, including the Haqqani network, have been eliminated from Pakistan’s soil.

“Pakistan has paid a huge price in this campaign, including losing over 75,000 lives and bearing a loss of more than $123 billion to the national exchequer,” he said while speaking to Gulf News.

The DG ISPR said the operation Radd-ul-Fasaad has been launched to eliminate remaining disorganised residual presence of militants. The recent military offensives against the terrorists have visibly reduced the level of violence throughout the country, he added.

Major General Ghafoor said that over 200,000 Pakistani troops have been deployed along the Pak-Afghan border in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata). He said Pakistan has also started to fence the entire 2,611km length of Pak-Afghan border and construction of new posts along the border to deny free cross-border movement of terrorists.

Beside Pakistan border area along with Afghanistan, why rest area is still Taliban strong hold
 
Now I'm convinced that uncle sam is going to do it.

LOL they cant fight Talibans on Afghan side but they will fight Pakistani tribals + those fleeing Taliban + Pakistan Army
Makes a lot of sense....Afghan terrain is like newly paved road when compared to Pakistani Tribal area terrain.
 
A Pentagon spokesman said that the US military will not conduct hot pursuit of Taliban and allied jihadist fighters from Afghanistan into Pakistan. Additionally, the spokesman said that the military would be fine if the Taliban was operating on the Pakistani side of the border.
if that the case then why crying do more???? after the fence new way to propaganda that Taliban operate from Pakistan when chased. In reality its other way around.

Not doing $hit is 70% Afghanistan under Terrorists control and wanna talk about Pakistan.
