Pakistan still cares about what USA dictates?
You seem to be an ignorant idiot, but I would still express my views on this.
Let me start with the fact that US has always been exerting pressure on Pakistan, since the 1979 mullah revolution in Iran, to allow it to use Pak Balochistan for launching some kind of attacks against Iran. This pressure has been quite severe at times. Pakistan has never allowed that even when we were extremely vulnerable due to our weak economy.
The point is that diplomatic juggernaut always involves a trade-off. It depends on the issue. We may defy any power in the world, for example, in the case of developing nukes and missiles. We have defied US pressure, as mentioned earlier, for allowing US to open a new front against Iran through Pakistan’s Balochistan province. On some other issues, we decided to allow some flexibility but with an effort to minimize any adverse effects on our own national interest. So, you cannot generalize that Pakistan is always following American dictates.
On the other hand, it’s worth mentioning how Iranians became a **** cat when the push came from the world powers. I am sure you haven’t forgotten the episode when Iranians, under the international pressure, handed over substantial evidence to Americans regarding the covert assistance in nuclear field that Pakistan provided to Iranians. That sheepish act of our Iranian friends brought a tsunami of international pressure on Pakistan. How the then military dictator dealt with that pressure is another story though.
While Pakistan always defied American pressure to allow them to open a hot front against Iran through Pakistani Balochistan, Iranians were collaborating and facilitating Indians to launch bloody terrorist attacks in Pakistan through Iranian Balochistan. The disgraced Indian terrorist, a serving IN Commander Kulbhushan Jadhav, who was the terrorist mastermind and running a vast terrorist network with roots deep in Pakistan, was operating from Iranian city of Chah Bhar under the patronage of Iranians. He was ultimately caught by Pak agencies and is currently rotting in a Pakistani jail.
I think only these two shameful and cowardly events are more than enough to expose your actual worth. A nation or state does not and cannot become great by parroting self-praise. It’s the actions that make a nation great or a **** cat.
