HISTORY ALWAYS REPETS ITSELF . . . AND WE NEVER LEARN

SALAM & DUAIEN

Watched speech of POTUS. He outlined his administration's NEW STRATEGY about Afghanistan, Oft-Repeated course of RELATIONS with Pakistan (Same old Story-Line, played innumerable times; FACE to HEEL to FACE) and Role of his new strategic partner, India. 

It was Clear and Ambiguous, Rhetorical and Philosophical, contained Eulogies and Contradictions.

He does not want Americans to die in foreign lands but he doesn't want them to come back home too. 
He does not want other countries to be democratized on the expense of US Lives and Funds but he doesn't see any disengagement too. 
He criticizes his predecessors for HASTY DECISIONS and does THE SAME himself. 
He acknowledges the SACRIFICES made by the people of PAKISTAN but like his predecessors, HE WANTS THEM TO 'DO (or should I say DIE) MORE'. 
He wants peace in SOUTH ASIA but he wants India to be a BULLY and Pakistan to be a BUNNY.

He talked about HASTY withdrawals from Iraq and other places by previous administrations and I find a similarity of  Decision Making between the Pakistani and US Administrations here.

US Presidents create circumstances to convince their people about the LIES on which they kill millions worldwide. Pakistani Leaders have the record to never care about their Public's Opinion ... THEY JUST JUMP ON THE US BANDWAGON quicker than even the US expectations.

Is there going to be a TALK OF GODAMNED STONE AGE OR BOMBED TO TORA BORA AGAIN?

Is Pakistani Nuc Cap going to be the Focus? 

I am certain THE PEOPLE IN PAKISTAN must be evaluating every word ... shadows of which have been ominous for months now ... 

We have a brand new Foreign Minister who has also been our MD Mattis for almost three years, SOME DELIBERATELY GENUINE POLICY STATEMENT SHOULD COME FORTH.

Some soul searching, some diplomatic maneuvers and some glance towards East with a genuine desire is the requirement

We should understand our vulnerabilities and act accordingly ... Nations without the resources to withstand foreign influence are vulnerable to intervention, interference in their affairs, economic coercion, diplomatic and political pressure, and external attacks. The tendency to be very heavily influenced by one superpower in political, economic, social and other matters harbor extreme risks.
