Yan26 do you seriously believe Pakistani has ever received aid or bought weapons from the USA

Has n,t someone put Davidk up to saying nonsense because they /he don't know Pakistani was a Terrorist state -because the inhabitants went mad and attacked everyone they could in the 1990s- and because US machines just don,t work in Pakistan!

Sarcastic Dots: Pakistan doesn't have nukes to attack America. Pakistan has nukes, and has continued the escalate the situation, because India has them. As it happens, during the cold war, both sides were supplied military equipment by their cold war allies and now, like everything else since then, we're containing the situation.

Edit: also, what's with the misspelling of "Osama" as "Usama"?

Yan26: No Pakistan doesn't. But it has nukes and the delivery systems( thanks in part to the US and in part to NKorea and China) to attack India( my primary concern) .
Also I hope you realise that the US was the primary cold war ally of Pakistan and at one point probably supplied half its conventional weapons. So they are not containing anything.
Also India was officially neutral during the cold war ( as a member of NAM) . Its primary ally was first Russia and then France simply because they were smarter in their relation with India.

Well obviously, this is my primary concern too.

"Also I hope you realise that the US was the primary cold war ally of Pakistan and at one point probably supplied half its conventional weapons."

I am aware of how complicated the situation was. I mean, Pakistan weren't gifted nuclear weapons, but if anyone is interested, you should look up how they attained some of the information to construct them... It's straight out of a spy film.

Yan26: The popular perception in India (way before the whole AQ Khan ring was busted) and which is still present is that China supplied Pakistan with the technology for nuclear weapons in the guise of civilian nuclear technology. Once they learned how to use/set up the civilian technology it was not difficult for them to proceed towards weapons grade nuclear technology. Similarly missile technology was supplied to them by North Korea ( in exchange for what we now know to be nuclear technology) .
This may not be entirely fact but reports of North Korea supplying missile technology and China helping set up nuclear facilities have been appearing in the Indian media for years now. In fact the Indian Navy in 1999 intercepted a North Korean vessel carrying missile parts towards Pakistan.
While this perception may be wrong or partially correct this how people here view it. Most blame the US and China for it.

But it was a Pakistani nuclear scientist that tipped-off reporters about the Pakistani weapons program. If fact it was the Pakistani govt that reported the ship to the Indians.

What do you think was the popular opinion of the USA amongst the Pakistanis??
