It has been recorded that\u00a0Eisenhower was so moved by the grand reception Ayub Khan organised for him in\u00a0\u00a0 1959,\u00a0 during his visit to Pakistan\u00a0that he increased the committed aid to Pakistan considerably \u00a0including military aid which USA was avoiding till then . Eisenhower told Nehru that he was aiding Pakistan to check communism . Nehru knew better than that but was helpless .<\/p>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550810169480_3516\" class=\"thread-quoted-body expanded\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550810169480_3520\" class=\"yiv3158386689gmail_quote\">\n<blockquote id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550810169480_3519\" class=\"yiv3158386689gmail_quote\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550810169480_3518\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550810169480_3517\">\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118\">\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550746675566_3464\">\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550746675566_3463\">\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550741693772_3448\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550741693772_3449\" dir=\"ltr\">Pakistan gave\u00a0the visiting Saudi prince \u00a0the highest civilian award Nishane Pakistan\u00a0and \u00a0presented a gold plated rifle .Imran Khan drove the car for Saudi Prince Salman and treated him so exceptionally well . Flattery never fails but it is never a substitute for hard work. Still it would have made a very deep lasting impression on prince Salman just like Ayub Khan made on Eisenhower\u00a0. Release of 2100 prisoners on the spot has made every Pakistani heart flutter . Imran choice of words in asking treating Pakistani workers as his own could not have been better .<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550741693772_6072\" dir=\"ltr\">Apparently he also sold some Pulwama being the result of \u00a0torture of locals type story because Salman chose to ignore that issue completely in Delhi . But if one reads both the \u00a0joint statements it is clear that that the prince was avoiding taking sides and pleased local audience in both the countries . What India has achieved is a real coup.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550741693772_6777\" dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550741693772_6778\" dir=\"ltr\">By flattery Pakistan will be able to convince Trump to try to mediate in Kashmir . Saudis too are not averse to that patch of glory under the sun.\u00a0. President Erdogan of Turkey too had offered that . UN Secretary General too is just waiting .Russia is cosying upto Pakistan and may sell T90 tanks and will not mind holding another Tashkent summit\u00a0\u00a0. All of them consider Kashmir a low hanging fruit . How wrong they all are !<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550741693772_7178\" dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550741693772_7174\" dir=\"ltr\">Pak Army and its appointee foreign minister have a\u00a0\u00a0very aggressive strategy in foreign policy vis a vis India \u00a0and with Chinese support may play hard ball . UK too is mulling soft approach . British parliament had\u00a0 debated\u00a0 Kashmir\u00a0 Khalistan referendum is schedule for 2020\u00a0in London\u00a0.West may not be against using Pakistan to check and discipline India. India is not able to give much due to its limited foreign trade\u00a0.Imran has good friends in UK and its army still has considerable residual influence in Pentagon .<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550741693772_7254\" dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550741693772_7261\" dir=\"ltr\">Time has come that PM Modi must give up efforts to isolate Pakistan publicly \u00a0. Behind the scene efforts can continue with even greater intensity and imagination\u00a0\u00a0. But now the law of diminishing returns will set in isolation strategy .\u00a0Imran did not get cowed down by Trump&#8217;s new year tweets and took a firm stand in his tweets. Now even Trump is considering visiting Pakistan if it can deliver Taliban to him. This is how Trump will behave !<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550741693772_7381\" dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550741693772_7799\" dir=\"ltr\">Modi should be ready to face Trump in unreasonable pressures on Kashmir .<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550741693772_7314\" dir=\"ltr\">Total Indo Pak War\u00a0 will mutually destructive and futile like Iran Iraq war .

Trump will not return to this region once he is able to get out of Afghanistan . We should not hope of any real US support in containing China or Pakistan .<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">But here comes the catch for Pakistan under Imran . India Pakistan match\u00a0\u00a0is a test match and a sixer or two that he or Shah Mohammed Quereshi may score will not determine the out come of test match . Jinnah , Ayub , Musharraf , Zia all\u00a0tried to make Pakistan rich without hard work by prostituting and pandering \u00a0its army and ISI. Imran is continuing the same policy.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">In contrast Bangladesh is growing so fast\u00a0 economically and will beat Pakistan in less than a decade . India&#8217;s friendship will be far more beneficial to Pakistan than CPEC which is just making\u00a0 Pakistan a Chinese colony .Nawaz Sharif realized it in Ufa summit but was summarily sacked by Bhutto trial \u00a0type judicial coup. Nawaz realized that \u00a0Bangladesh is growing without prostituting itself ! Pakistan&#8217;s army is the biggest bunch of traitors in keeping the nation a prisoner of its self interest and post retirement benefits.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">No one in Pakistan has courage to address the real issues hurting its economy . Economy is not army&#8217;s forte nor is the foreign policy .The defeat of Pakistan in the test match is certain . But it will continue to deliver a few bouncers and hurt our batsman in the hope of bleeding India .<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550810169480_3517\">\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yiv2810337118\">\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550746675566_3464\">\n<div id=\"yiv3158386689m_-2763195609612759903yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550746675566_3463\">\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1550810169480_3529\" dir=\"ltr\">No one will fight India&#8217;s wars .
