Pakistan’s geopolitics dilemma

Pakistan’s geopolitics dilemma

Dr. Jassim Taqui

All attentions are now focused on Pakistan merely because its geopolitics. The country is proclaimed a nuclear state. It is adjacent to three nuclear powers i.e. Russia, China, and India.

Pakistan is the natural corridor for trade and gateway to Central Asia and the landlocked Afghanistan. With the start of CPEC, the importance of Pakistan is rapidly increasing.

The Obama administration ignored the fact that Pakistan was its ally during the Cold War. It tried to twist the geopolitics of Pakistan. The US President Barak Obama ignored the fact that Pakistan fought for four decades a proxy war for the US in Afghanistan that culminated in the withdrawal of the then Soviet troops from Afghanistan. Pakistan did a blunder by fighting the US war, which destroyed the economic and social fabric of the country.

Obama acted as the enemy of Pakistan when he blessed a strategic alliance between India, Iran, and Afghanistan by promoting the Iranian Chabahar port . He stabbed Pakistan in the back by allying himself with Iran, which Washington itself declared as part of the axis of evil.

However, the Chabahar project is fizzling out due to the aggressive policy Obama used against Pakistan. Furthermore, Iran is facing the initiation of its own “Arab Spring.”

Similarly, the hate speeches of the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have produced the ongoing Kashmiri intifada against the Indian occupation forces. Modi’s India, Iran, Afghanistan, and Obama administration would taste the bitter medicine of their making. 

ISIS, which was created by rogue elements of foreign intelligence agencies, is now concentrating on its creators. Suddenly, the false stability that US and EU created, is now changing into “creative anarchy,” not in the Arab and Muslim worlds, but in the very US and European countries.
