Sir,
Sir, just one tweet by Trump and Pakistan tumbled down the hill. One can’t deny Pakistan being a rogue state, whom former US secretary of state Madzeleine Albright described as an international migraine and the epicentre of world terrorism. A ‘time being’ US ally and a so called ‘war on terror’ partner is suddenly feeling like a cornered cat by a fresh salvo fired none other than the man who is next to God.
The country is not yet out of the shock given by the Presidential tweet on New Year’s eve which sparked outrage on Jan 1st – ‘The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given US nothing but lies and deceit, thinking as their leaders as fools. Accusing them of giving safe haven to the terrorists they hunt in Afghanistan’. And here again the US President has squarely blamed Pakistani leadership for evading Osama Bin Laden from facing ultimate justice by hiding him just next to the military academy in Abbottabad. In the Fox News interview he ripped the hearts and minds of the newly elected Government of Imran Khan, by echoing the US navy seal raid on Bin Laden compound in Pakistan by saying “They (Pakistan) don’t do anything for us. They don’t do a damn thing for us”.
Contrarily, Pakistan civilians as well as military leader ship are making righteous claims by responding on social media with justifications about how they paid in return with the thousands of innocent lives they lost in somebody else’s wars. The ‘blood money’ they have taken over the years from the US. The problem with Pakistan is that despite whosoever becomes a head of state and whatsoever party is in power, the strategy remains the same – how to mint more money by begging and blackmailing.
