Pak-US Relations (A brief insight) |
Pakistan and the US are currently in warm waters. This has happened as a result of the apocalyptic Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. On the United States side, it has always opted for aggressive policy decisions when it comes to dealing with developing South Asian countries and Pakistan is no exception to this case.
The fall of Kabul on 15 August enunciated the weak policymaking of US stakeholders. And unlike any other neighbor of Afghanistan, Pakistan shares strong socio-cultural values with the country. It is not an option for Pakistan to cut off itself from its western part. Consequently, Pakistan has always been supportive of Afghan stability because instability there would directly disrupt the peace and stability in its own borders.
Given the emerging circumstances in the region, the United States as usual discredited Pakistan for its positive role in Afghan stability and maneuvered the situation by mischaracterizing Pakistan state authority to justify their failure in the war against terrorism. Due to Pakistan's weak leverage to international politics, the US has been playing well to scapegoat Pakistan, a country, which has always been a loyal ally to the US in their abroad missions.
However, despite some skirmishes between the two States, it seems obvious that no one wishes to deteriorate the relationship for a larger good. Pakistan like any responsible country is trying to clarify all the misconceptions being created against its image at the national, regional, and international levels. Similarly, the United States is also recognizing the strategic importance of Pakistan and a player who can smoothly tackle the haphazard situation in Afghanistan.
Thank you for your company!
