Zaradri got 7b in keri loger bill
Nawaz sharif got around 10b$ in CSF which was primarily used for budget support
mushi era was mostly weapons rather then economic aid
Only IK era there was zero aid

Not to mention that it won’t solve the problem, but will galvanize the fringe elements to recruit as well as alienate neighboring countries Pakistan hopes to maintain balanced relations with.
If there is any desire to do a CT role from Pakistan, it should be done solely by the PA, with at most help with ISR and equipment, to take out threats to entities beyond Afghan borders. Wasn’t the original American plan to support the old Afghan government with ISR support and let them do the fighting, why is Pakistan any different? Unless the real issue isn’t trust, in which case giving a base doesn’t make any sense either.
We saw the blow back from Pakistan’s own operation against TTP, how would Pakistan contain any blowback from a US led strike originating from a base like Shamsi?
Long term there needs to be incentives to get the Afghans to do the CT work within their own country; such as bring in mining companies to help the Afghans earn revenue from their resources and in turn ensure the world doesn’t have to worry about instability from that country. This would also help hedge against Chinese, Russian, and Iranian include in Afghanistan. This is where IK’ efforts to help the Afghans get international financial support should be utilized to find a new non-kinetic path to stability. One that benefits The Afghans, Pakistan, and the West. Unless the West sees sense on this, the Afghans are ripe to avoid even Pakistan and join the Chinese camp (via the Wakhan corridor). It’s jot to late for victory to be snatched from the jaws of the defeat, and honor the 20 years of sacrifice done during the Afghan war, by both the West and Pakistan.
P.s.
Now more than ever, reviving the TAPI (with extension into Kazakhstan) pipeline could also help the west wrestle Central Asia out of the hands of Russia, China, and Iran.
(Currently on China is Turkmenistan’s customer and it limits how much influence other powers can have on it:
Working with Pakistan and Afghanistan economically will be more strategically productive for the west for decades to come on multiple levels. A Pakistan that is earning revenue from these projects will also not as oriented towards China will also mean Pakistan would be more likely to purchase infrastructure products from western suppliers rather then Chinese companies and therefore would have more options, not making it as likely to default on debts that may have clauses that may not be in the interest of the current international order.

Anti US sentiments in Pakistan are neither fringe nor need any extra motivation to galvanise. All of Pakistan's neighbour have historically been anti US for most parts of their history as nation states. Almost each politician with an active role over the past 3 decades have cashed in the anti US vote from the masses.
Pakistan's neighbours are on their own on their fight against terrorism in whatever shape or form they are faced with. It is to our best interest to not have our soil be used as a rental war zone. The decade ahead poses a new spectrum of this war as hotspots move from Middle East to Central Asia.
The scope and direction of Pak American strategic management was decided a decade ago. The American decision to place all eggs in an Indian basket needs to revisited by American needs not by Pakistani demands.

Russia and China would be mighty pissed if bases are given to usa here….tht would be really bad…..
Russians and Chinese have now fully realized that the biggest US base in the CENTCOM region is in GHQ Rawalpindi.
Life is luxury while beggars can’t be choosers (Pakistani awam) going through critical times.
This Nawas Shariff is supposed to be in coffin but enjoying his life to the fullest
