USA will be investing in Pakistan soon.

USA will be investing in Pakistan soon.

Prolly not in long time

USA will be investing in Pakistan soon.

US will be foolish to hand over Pakistan to China and will invest to maintain strategic interest.

USA will be investing in Pakistan soon.

That is unlikely in my opinion. The US deepstate is the main problem.

US will be foolish to hand over Pakistan to China and will invest to maintain strategic interest.

US-China economies are tightly and both realised during the current trade war that hurting one, hurts the other. So we will see reduction of tensions between the two and coming to terms with the ground realities.

That is unlikely in my opinion. The US deepstate is the main problem.

Hey, that's complicated. US uses carrot and stick approach. While one department dangles carrot in front of you, the other tries to use stick. But you can stop the stick through posturing and setting the limits. Do the trade and refuse the aid.

 

[Trango Towers]

USA will be investing in Pakistan soon.

Hope not

USA will be investing in Pakistan soon.

As Kissinger once said.
It's dangerous to be Americas enemies but suicidal to be its friend.

US is running out of carrots.
