What's wrong if US is given bases in Pakistan? Najam Sethi (Spokesman of Nawaz Sharif)

Do you really believe US would let you fight India, once you let the camel in the camp? What is your understanding of why US wants bases in Pakistan?

Bases are defacto guarantees of independence of their host nation, so India would not be able to invade. However conventional weapons can and will go into fighting the only obvious enemy.

US made missiles and aircraft for instance were used against India, and sold to Pakistan on the understanding that they would be used against them.

With just US embassy in Pakistan, people cannot manage to have their elected govt on Pakistan, with bases, I don't understand whos independence you see guarenteed in Pakistan.
Will, resolve and capability is required to respond to hypothesised Indian aggression. With American bases, you gonna lose will and resolve, even if you get equipment which is one part of capability. With China-west tech gap narrowing, Pakistan does not need American equipment, particularly if it comes at the cost of will and resolve.
