In my last post I wrote about clouds of war in Pakistan, now with increased US drone attacks and candid proclamation that USA considers Pakistan a new battle front the prediction has come true.
We all know they teach wrong history in Pakistan, the main problem is that they do not take lessons from history as well.
In the twentieth century cold war era, US went on an arms race with USSR, the results of USSR matching USA in that race are well known, USSR is no longer in existence, it's economy was shattered and the union disintegrated.
Pakistan would have been well advised to learn from this and stop huge military expenditure, however it didn't and today stands on brink of a disaster which could have been well avoided. Pakistan has let itself become a victim of an economic offensive and today has become a destitute state with a begging bowl in it's hand, no Nostradamus is required to predict consequences.
Barack Obama on his first day proclaimed that USA is involved on two fronts, one in Afghanistan another in Pakistan. This contains a declaration of war against Pakistan, however the Pakistani leadership goes ahead and giving a blank cheque to China to negotiate with India with promise that it will agree to whatever China decides. This is the first major indication from Pakistan that it's cornered and on brink of defeat.
Time is running fast, the best Pakistan can do is to mend it's ties with India, indulge in quick quid pro quo, they will have to give more to get less, but then Pakistan has a chance of eliminating terror that they have been supporting so far.
Choices are hard and they need to be taken, and taken fast, before Pakistan is relegated to history books like USSR was.
