The following article should be read along with an earlier post . The Pakistanis in their quest to hurt India have adopted policies which have left them with no real friends. They will claim China to be their friends but the Chinese are using the Pakistanis to control India at a very little cost to them. Since the Chinese gave a paltry $7.2 million despite being the second largest economy, goes to show you the depth of commitment they have for the Pakistanis.
The Pakistanis really need to evaluate their priorities otherwise in a war involving more than two countries, they will get hit from all sides (not that I care!!).
Pakistan is the Afghan war's real aggressor
"There is ongoing domestic and international confusion in identifying Afghanistan's friends and foes. The Afghan people are wholeheartedly grateful to the international community for its sacrifices in blood and treasure. Unfortunately, the military-intelligence establishment of one of our neighbors still regards Afghanistan as its sphere of influence. While faced with a growing domestic terrorist threat, Pakistan continues to provide sanctuary and support to the Quetta Shura, the Haqqani network, the Hekmatyar group and al-Qaeda. And while the documents recently disclosed by WikiLeaks contained information that was neither new nor surprising, they did make public further evidence of the close relations among the Taliban, al-Qaeda and Pakistani intelligence."
