So you want to give them more money even if you know that money is systematically misused? Pakistan will become a vessel state of China, its totally inevitable. Pakistan is 1000x more valuable to China then it could ever by for the US.
The US should stop the idiotic believe that Pakistan is an ally. They simply are not, and have not been for a long time. It is well known that the support the Taliban. It is well known they are one of the main pushers of radical Islam. The only real value they ever had was to help against the Soviets when they invaded Afghanistan.
And to do that the US ignored the warnings that they were developing nuclear weapons and basically created anti-western radical Islam.
- newyankee 6y agoThe problem is that the general public is very fond of conspiracy theory for every problem under the sun. Every issue will be attributed to malicious intent of India, USA or Israel (somehow that comes into the mix). If the general public does not evolve, how would the army or govt.
- catalogia 6y ago> The US should stop the idiotic believe that Pakistan is an ally. Do they actually believe it, or do they just pay lip service to that idea for realpolitik reasons? The US has repeatedly accused China of assisting Pakistan with their nuclear weapons program. It's hard for any of us to say what the truth is in that matter, but either way I don't think the potential relationship between Pakistan and China has been ignored.
- nickik 6y agoI don't know about the nuclear weapons program. But I defiantly believe they are a bad ally. I don't know what exactly they have done to get such a high status as an ally in the US. I think it never made sense really and the US has not benefit from the alliance. I know some of the history of how it came about but even if you read those, the strategic calculus behind it was flawed.
- vkou 6y ago> But I defiantly believe they are a bad ally. I don't know what exactly they have done to get such a high status as an ally in the US. They opposed India, which was opposed by China, and the US spent the post-Vietnam period cozying up to China, because it opposed the USSR. So, to answer your question, they haven't done anything other than be the enemy of an enemy of an enemy of an enemy.
- nickik 6y agoYes and they would have done so in any situation anyway. I not saying absolutely no support or cooperation with Pakistan on anything ever. But the level of ally the became made no sense.

- booboolayla 6y agoThe US made a grave mistake by taking Islamic countries as allies in their fight against Communism. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan etc. were all incredible mistakes that resulted in a worldwide revival of Islam and its inherent violence.
