Re: US postpones bilateral contact until Davis is freed
Pakistan is a resource poor country (most of its abundant resources are as yet either undeveloped or underdeveloped) and therefore imports a great deal of its daily requirements, such as fuel, edible oil, tea, machinery, plastics etc. These have to be paid for in foreign exchange, should the Pak economy be hit so badly due to default that credit is squeezed, the currency is greatly devalued, inflation runs in the thousands, and essential items are just not available, there is every chance that anarchy will reign, in a situation such as this the US merely has to render its goodwill to a selected province by becoming its biggest benefactor and the citizens of that province will overwhelmingly choose to secede, and the US will possible grant recognition to the new state which will be followed by all of the major world powers (with the possible exception of China) following suit.
