Ralph Peters has an excellent article about how the US should stop giving aid to Pakistan. I agree, Pakistan isn’t our friend and supports Islamists. The are a lost cause and our Tax money is better spent on home that that cesspool.
A better strategy’s obvious. But Washington has trouble with the obvious. At our pathetic State Department, habit trumps innovation every time. And the Pentagon can’t seem to see beyond the immediate battlefield.
What should we do? Dump Pakistan. Back India.
Washington’s deep thinkers will cry, “But China might move in!”
If China wants Pakistan, let Beijing have it. That would be fun to watch. Take on the Taliban? Given China’s ghastly ineptitude in dealing with its Uighur Muslims, more power to ’em.
I agree, let China deal with Pakistan. It is better for us to ally with India. They are more similar to us in values and aren’t backstabbers. They also are fighting Islamo-Fascism but it is a no brainer. The problem is that Muslims have too much influence on the American government. This is why the US makes dumb mistakes that later come to haunt us. Pakistan is a waste we should cut them off.
