If you are so sure about moving men and material cheaply in and out of Afghanistan and through NDN the why your usa govt and nato are desperately begging pakistan to open the logistics line.If you are so sure about your accounts of usling NDN and air route then why bribe pakistan govt billions in both civil and military aid through kerry-langoor bill and CSL funds to keep your logistics lines open through pakistan.atleast you could have save your $ 20-$30 billions which your govt always harps about giving to pakistan to help you in WOT.
they are warning- beggin is pakistans fundamental characteristics

usa cant do iraq or afghanistan in pakistan.Pakistans nukes have deterred usa successfully.
Is the deterrence how the USA came deep into Pakistans territory, penetrated Pakistan's military establishment, did what it had to, and then withdrew succesfully? And you Pakistanis, with nukes lay down and enjoyed it? :p

Is that deterrence?

Lets see:

Is US killing Pakistanis - military and civ..err terrorists both? Check
Is US bombing Pakistani territory with impunity? Check
Is US coming into Pakistan, killing ISI agents and then leaving happily (e.g. Ray Davis)? Check
Is US coming into Pakistani military establishments, taking out HVT, and Pakistani military sits and watches impotently? Check

In what way is the US deterred by Pakistan?

They have decided they are the john, and Pak., the wh0re. Instead of fighting with Pak., they just ask you the rate and negotiate it. Heres how it goes:

US: We want to kill some more of your Pakistanis.

Pakistani military: No way

US: Will you take a million

Pakistani military: Ok, whom do you want to kill?

US: This guy, lets say 10,000 bucks for him...

Pakistani military: What, what do you think we are??

US: We have already confirmed what you are, right? Now we are just negotiating the rate!!

Pakistan ‘Very Concerned’ at India’s Military Modernisation
Pakistan’s military establishment is said to be “very concerned” about the conventional military modernisation programme of the Narendra Modi government, and “frustrated” that no “deal” had been struck with India since the NDA came to power.

As the International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS) published its annual “Military Balance 2016” report on Tuesday, Ben Barry, a senior expert who works with the military-strategic communities in India and Pakistan, said there was “great optimism” in Islamabad when Modi came to power.
“In the government and security community in Pakistan there was great optimism when Modi came to power, that he would be able to engage Pakistan and maybe strike a deal (normalisation of relations, reduction of tension over security),” Barry told HT.

“But I think there is some frustration in Islamabad that they haven’t been able to achieve that. We have contacts with the Pakistani military. I think they are very concerned about India’s conventional military modernization.”

Barry, a former brigadier in the British army, said Pakistan was particularly concerned with India acquiring advanced weapons systems like Apache helicopters, C-130 Hercules aircraft and T-90 tanks. The India-US nuclear deal too remained a matter of concern in Islamabad.

According to the IISS expert, “We should take confidence that there hasn’t been a repetition of the terrible massacre in Mumbai. I may be proved wrong, though, but given the state of various extremist groups in Pakistan, it is very, very difficult for the Pakistani government to withdraw all of them. They may have had a hand in generating some of these and setting them up, but it’s quite difficult to turn them off.”

Barry said Pakistan Army chief Gen Raheel Sharif was able to “take advantage” of the 2014 massacre in an army-run school in Peshawar to launch Operation Zarb-e-Azb to clear North Waziristan of militant groups.

“There is no doubt that it has made considerable difference. Islamist terrorist groups and their capabilities have been considerably degraded by the Pakistan Army and the police,” Barry said.
The “Military Balance 2016” report details various initiatives taken by the Modi government to encourage FDI and private sector participation in defence, and lists the personnel and assets of India’s armed forces and reserve forces.

“The Indian government’s ‘Make in India’ policy aims to strengthen the indigenous defence-industrial base through measures that include reforming India’s foreign direct investment cap. However, industrial-capability limitations and bureaucratic obstacles have hampered a number of promising initiatives,” it said.

Focussing more on developments related to Russia, China, Iran and NATO, the analysis states that western military technological superiority is eroding due to the proliferation of advanced military capabilities and growing accessibility to military-relevant high technology around the world.
