    I'm not sure how this will work out for the diplomat being restrained in contravention of international law, but if I were Sec State I would have a hundred cops with fine tooth combs going through every diplo pakis background and any who had so much as an unpaid parking ticket would be held in federal custody until I felt like letting them pay it along with accumulated penalties.
     
    I thought we had ties with one of the istan's . Like Turkmanistan , or sumpin . Can't we supply from other allies and say Fuck Pakistan . Pakistan whores for a dollar from us and China . They fuck India at every turn and have allied with China to fuck India . They are so obsessed with effin India that I'm sure that " Fuck India " must be a greeting in Pakistan . It's not that I have an allegiance to India . I detest the level of hatred and unprovoked violence directed at India fueled from Islamic hate and post Colonial jealousy . Pakistan is more theocratic than most are aware . I'll bet this incident has more to do with the diplomat being a Kuffar than anything else . Well maybe extortion too . But that's a given .

    I also wonder if in some part he is a hostage against some policy they would like to deflect. In any event the accident in question must have been the will of God, unless this US Diplomat is more powerful than God. So if they are using the law to protest the will of God they must be Apostate.

    Pakistan has gotten rather spoiled by the billions a year they were getting from us for "nominally" being our allies in the war on terror. Along with us letting them slide on all kinds of bad actions & allowing stuff that cost American lives.
    Trump finally called them on the carpet over it & now they are throwing a tantrum and being little bitches about it.
    They don't seem to realize if we actually wanted we could have him & all our people out of there swiftly & could be in complete control of their nuclear weapons overnight. (It's an open secret that we have well thought out plans for what to do if an "unfriendly" regime took over there, and their military kind of know a bit about the truth even if the politicians delude themselves.)

    Pakistan offers the simplest supply route into Afghanistan, which is landlocked and surrounded by inhospitable (to us) neighbors. They're the closest sea port for us to land supplies and truck them into Afgh. We do have (or at least did have) cooperative agreements with I believe Kazakhstan and Kyrgistan, and used at least one of them when Pakistan shut down the border over a dispute, but you could feel the supply crunch almost instantly having to get shit via that route.

    They're a fucking duplicitous shithole that has funded, aided, and supplied our enemies while extorting money from us, but until we seize control of Iran there isn't another viable supply route for Afgh.

    It sucks, and this President has done more than any other to try to address it, but as long as we have troops in Afgh, we're pretty much stuck in some sort of "deal" with the Pakis.
     
    I'm sorry, (no I'm not) but I try to see things simpler and straight-forward'er. Wasn't it pakistan that harbored the worst worlds fugitive, for years? Their opinion, their intent, their goal, their safety, their sanctitiy, their nuclear infrastructure matters HOW?

    Maybe I'm too judicious, but wall-to-wall/border-to-border carpet-bombing IS more than an option, no? I believe that all's what's needed is the START of such a campaign, and they'll be having "Come To Jesus" tent-revivals all over the place, and televised too.

    Make it happen. What is the downside? No, really,,,, what is the downside?

    (and you saw what I did there, right?)

    I wonder if it is the very fact that this President is changing the status quo may have led to this. I hope that it does not work out the way they are hoping.

    Didn't we invade Afghanistan for harboring Al-Qaeda. So why does Pakistan get a pass . Let the carpet bombing begin. Maybe we can do an encore in Iran .

    I’d love to see USA ramp up presence in at least three locations in India , Dras/Kargil , Leh/Kardung
    and Bhutan . Chip India a few bucks , some eyes in the sky intel , and set up ‘ high altitude training ‘
    exercises all over the Himalayan region . As far back as WW2 , US had high altitude runways in that
    region .

    If we did it 65 years ago , we can do it again with bells on. This also gives us some very convenient
    locations near to China , who are doing exactly this in their north west regions . No doubt Mil
    Strategists are all over this , and just need a Diplomatic green light .

    I’ve spent a few years in that neck of the woods in various roles , and there are hundreds of locations
    to set up absolutely epic ELR training facilities , with no one for miles except the occasional visit
    from Mr Wind . I’d work there again in a heart beat , it’s a beautiful , if cruel part of the world .
     
    Army , you could do a great bike ride from Kashmir in the west to Manali in the east , or the other
    way around , after flying into Delhli . Plenty of side routes to explore on the way to the hills . Damn ,
    now you’ve got me wanting to check costings of flying a dirt bike to Delhi ... Might be more cost
    effective to buy a scoot on arrival and sell before departure .

    A Welsh buddy of mine just keeps a bike over there and rides the Himalayas most years. He flies in, collects his bike from wherever he left it, and fucks off on his next walkabout.
