DONALD Trump is the weakest president in America`s history. However, he has portrayed himself exceptionally well as a strong president. To paraphrase a comment by CNN about Trump, `He is just winging it`.
Injecting more American troops into Afghanistan would neither serve US interests nor guarantee their safe exit.
The Afghan Taliban are a stark reality.
A much more interesting fact is that the Taliban now control more territory in Afghanistan than they did before the US occupation.
An aggressive strategy and war has proved a disaster for the United States.
The only pragmatic solution to this issue is a political one. Only then can the US wind up its longest war.
Syed Hamza Younas Peshawar (2) PRESIDENT Trump`s accusations degrading the sacrifices of 60,000 Pakistanis are condemnable. The American President`s praise and tilt towards India is not surprising either.
The world understands only too well that two hegemonist powers claiming to be democracies have ganged up to exploit other nations` resources and impose their diktat.
The immediate Chinese reaction of rejecting Trump`s diatribe and praising Pakistan`s efforts against terrorism prove yet again that China is Pakistan`s allweather friend who has always stood by us in difficult times.
It is a dire need of the hour that Pakistan stand its ground and not how before America`s hegemonic attitude. Our leadership should remind Americans that no country has lost more in terms of lives and material in the war on terror than has Pakistan and our sacrifices should be acknowledged.
