US-Pakistan: Reloaded
The United States needs regional assistance, particular from Pakistan, to resolve the problems and challenges facing Afghanistan.
Published on Jul 11, 2011
Source: Voice of Russia
It is impossible to believe that the United States can come to very risky policy toward Pakistan limiting cooperation, because as a result of this change the United States will lose control of the situation in this country, very important for the solution of the problem of Afghanistan and for the stability in the region.
We can see the game between the United States and Pakistan, and every side wants more benefits from this game and wants to use this game not only for developing relations with its partner, but also for benefits in the domestic policy. Now it is not a secret that the United States uses everything for drone attacks on the territory of Pakistan.
The United States cannot avoid development of relations, because it is impossible to solve the problem of Afghanistan without assistance from the Pakistani side.
