Re: No Sir no…you can’t have your cake and eat it too!
what geopolitical reasons? that is what taliban apologists were telling us throughout last 15 years and we kept on believing this narrative…
i am sure USA has many petty objectives but what abt accepting our mistakes…what about our army generals under Musharraf who kept on playing double games…took billions from USA by claiming that we will help usa in war on terrorism but in the meantime also kept on playing double games by protecting “good taliban” (haqqani, mullah omar) and helping them attack Americans in Afghanistan and at the same time also kept on selling narrative to pakistani public that USA is in Afghanistan for geopolitical reasons!!!
by the way a similar type of so-called geopolitical narrative was promoted and sold by our so called strategic experts to pakistani public during afghan-russia war that russia is after warm waters ports and hence russia will attack pakistan anytime, so we need to stop this monster. Pakistani public bought that narrative and supported that bloody war which destroyed Pakistan. And guess what, afghan war finished 25 years ago but how-come russia or any of ex-russian states who now have normal relationship with Pakistan for sometime never contacted Pakistan to use its warm water ports in exchange of some fee that they wanted to invade so badly per our narrative!
