Pakistani Generals are always available for hire by the pentagon in exchange for dollars, and american/western passports. That is the sad reality unfortunately.

End of the day, Pakistani military elites can buy homes in the US, run illicit scams from South Dakota linked corporations, and easily send their kids to colleges in the USS. and then expect them to get extended jobs in the states.America is an empire which allows elites globally to use it as a global commons,China does not yet offer these benefits to third world elites,this could change one day but not yet,so can one blame Pakistani elites for playing their personal game?

Pasni and Jacobabad were where the American nodes for their GLOC's to Afghanistan were based. Pasni was used for surveillance and SAR as well.

You have to admit it's a rather cunning plan to lure Americans once again to Baluchistan initially via minerals and then later you can pitch a military base to them. With China in Gwadar and Americans in Pasni, GHQ might feel better about placing their most sensitive assets there, like they have done with F16 fleet in Pasni in the past. But I think Chinese will not like this.

That is why it is not a smart move imho..

JUST SPECULATION FOR NOW.

Advisers to Pakistan’s military strongman Asim Munir have approached US officials with an offer to build and run a port on the Arabian Sea that could give Washington a foothold in one of the world’s most sensitive regions.

The audacious plan, seen by the Financial Times, envisages American investors developing the seaside fishing town of Pasni as a terminal for access to Pakistan’s critical minerals. Pasni is just 100 miles from Iran and 70 miles from the Pakistani city of Gwadar, which has a China-backed port.

The initiative, which is not official policy, reflects how Pakistani officials are exploring ways to capitalise on the sweeping geopolitical upheaval in South Asia of recent months.

The offer has been floated with some US officials, and was shared with Munir ahead of a meeting with Donald Trump in the White House late last month, according to two civilian advisers to the army chief who both asked not to be named. But a senior Trump administration official said the US president and his advisers had not discussed such a proposal.



Why does Pakistan want a second port, if we have Gwadar already?

"Two is one, one is none".

Military strategy 101.

 

[Truth Seeker]

If true what about China? Can Pak afford to offend Chinese?

 

[Tremain]

Can Pak afford to offend Chinese?

1. We are China's partners and friends... not slaves.

2. Why on earth would China be offended?

3. If successful, it will end the BLA nonsense.

Why would it end BLA? If anything it will further anger them

Pakistan's foreign policy has turned into a Trump appeasement plan, meant only to keep Asim Muneer in power. IK is being used as a bargaining chip here, the better option was to release him and call elections instead of dragging the country back to colonial ghulami.

Why would it end BLA?

There was an old interview by that person I dislike ... Moeed Pirzada.. it is up there on one of his channels in English. He was talking to Pakistan's oldest serving General (now retired).

Gen Saab explained that everyone hates CPEC. The Indians hate it... but who cares about them... Iran hates it, Arabs hate it and the US hates it. And they will support any effort to undermine it. They will give shelter and support to BLA scummy leaders and host them on their soil, for example.

The only way to stop such things is if the USA is persuaded to have a stake in our economy. So both China and US benefit together.

If anything it will further anger them

A gallee ka kutta is always angry. So what?

how exactly is a port going to defeat the BLA? or will you be asking american troops to step in since pakistani army has failed at its only job?

 

[Tremain]

how exactly is a port going to defeat the BLA?

"Soft Power" in the right places.

Who do you think is behind BLA? India? Who is behind India?

since pakistani army has failed

Who said it failed? It has been very successful.

But hard power is hard power. We do not have soft-power. Now we might have.

 

[FarhanSiddiqui]

Gwadar: China base; Pasni: US base ; Jiwani: Russia base ???

 

[Tremain]

Gwadar: China base; Pasni: US base ; Jiwani: Russia base ???

None of them are bases in the military sense. They are economic hubs.

And yes, why not. But it won't happen... Russia is too busy with it's European tomfoolery.

Indians don't need external support, they were assassinating people in Canada and other western countries only a year ago.

Who said it failed? It has been very successful.

But hard power is hard power. We do not have soft-power. Now we might have.

how can it be called success when most of the Pakistanis can't even travel to Balauchistan without fearing for their lives?
