So you are saying US armed Pakistan to supply weapons to the Pakistani jihadists, to use against India? Or US just armed pakistan with weapons which Pakistan could use against India, as you can see there is a major difference between the two.
US has already confirmed it will oppose any waivers for Pakistan in NSG. Sino Pak link US has never denied FYI. If you want more discussion on US Sino relations, start a new thread, and we can disuss there.
From all your posts it seems you see US as the world police, whereas US just works in the best interest of US & its allies. US is not a saint nor do we act like one to punish or let free. This is human nature, all countries do it. India armed LTTE in the 80s, got its own PM shot by them.
to Ajtr,if my political views do not matter to you, in that case all this discussion is a moot point.
Nixon sent the 7th fleet in Bay of Bengal to oppress any nuclear testing by India, as it saw India as an ally of USSR. USSR which was an enemy of USA.
Yusuf, mujahideen fought for US for US's interest against communism, they did not fight for US under an umbrella of "Fight for god".....
You guys can dig up all the graves you want, and you will find dirt on all sides. You should be looking at how far US & India have come since those days. And if you want to stick to these old principles, in such a scenario, it would be foolish of US not learn from past errors, and hence not arm India, for the fear of India turning against us decades down the line.
We form a relationship, we take chances, some work out, some dont, you must learn to let go of what didnt work out and not let the past define you.
And further posts please stick to the main topic, and on US India history, it is better if you start a new thread and we can discuss there.
