In the name of Allah the most Beneficent and Merciful
A while back our establishment probably wanted him to die. But now they want him alive probably more than he himself wants to. What changed? Appointments made by Trump. I am not interested in who he nominated as Attorney general or Secretary of health etc, these are important for ordinary Americans but not for us. For my perspective following three are important.
Secretary of state: Marco Rubio, a
hawk when it comes to Afghanistan and China. Wants to maintain military
presence in Afghanistan to keep an eye and possibly foment trouble in China.
Secretary of defense: Pete
Hegseth, served in Iraq and Afghanistan, earned two Bronze stars.
National security adviser: Michael
Waltz served multiple tours in Afghanistan over the course of his military
career, which spanned several years, cumulatively amounting to significant time
in-country as part of his military service.
Look at this triangle and place it
next to the fact that India has largely refused to toe the American line
regarding confrontation with Russia and China. The only place left for any
adventure regarding China is Afghanistan/Pakistan. The problem, from American
point of view, is that Afghanistan is now under Taliban rule. So how to
dislodge Taliban? Use Pakistan. Who will oppose that in Pakistan? That is where
Imran Khan becomes useful. Our establishment will convince Americans that if we
release him, he will throw a spanner in their project and as such it is better
to keep him in prison. They don’t want Imran Khan dead either because what
other wolf there is to threaten Americans with? NS, FR, BZ?
P.S: In the coming weeks and
months you will see how Taliban will be labelled as Khawaraj in religious
circles especially in Deobandi ecosystem. This is important for mollifying the Deobandis
after all Taliban are their intellectual children. The Baralvis don’t like Taliban
anyways and will happily join any effort to dislodge them.
