The problem is how much shit will we put up with to stop an islamic majority nuclear power from collapsing into the hands of a jihad leaning ideology.
Pakistan's intelligence service, ISI, is very good at playing the game of "Boy it'd be a shame if this nuclear information/material were to fall into the hands of say, the iranians. Did you know we could really use some money for fighter jets to help defend us from india?"
There are no good options in this region.
- icemelt8 5y agoso much misinformation, US has stopped selling fighter jets long time ago, the billions in aid is a myth, US should take responsibility for Afghanistan. Pakistan is a poor nation of 200 million people, if that country's agencies somehow did a proxy war that defeated the combined military might of the 20 top nations, then this is a moment for them to reflect not deflect.
- ikerdanzel 5y agoThe correct strategy is not to conquer but to cull. From time to time, US should just send military in to render to site as vast land of death and pity-ness say under a week. Repeat this periodically over 50 years. No forces on earth would be able to sustain that even if Russian and Chinese combine forces. Sharp and devastating destruction played over years is extremely effective and much affordable than the current Afghan and Iraq 2 decades of debacles.
