Re: No Sir no…you can’t have your cake and eat it too!
I don’t know how you define ‘so untrustworthy’ vs ‘just’ untrustworthy. You may recall for a long long time Pakistan was denying they knew or allowed drone attacks. Then when it was exposed that parts of the Pak military knew about these attacks, they changed the language to ‘only when we allow’ to save a modicum of dignity. After sometime it was further exposed that in many cases some Pakistani units had actually been supplying coordinates of their political internal enemies as that of terrorists and thus getting rid of them.
Pakistani establishment does not give rats whisker if hundreds and thousands of Pakistanis get killed - as long as their business floursihes. We saw that not just in this wot but repeatedly and historically - in East Pakistan, in Balochistan! We also saw Pakistan after taking a lot of aid (in addition to reimbursement) extorting even more money and resorting to blackmail.
So yeah, I think Americans have a pretty darned good reason to call Pakistan untrustworthy.
even from a Pakistani well being point of view this made no sense and actually proved to be very dumb and expensive
And your point is? I agree, Pakistani government is corrupt and values money over their own people but again, how does that come into play with America finding Pakistani alliance untrustworthy?
