The American magazine Intercept, which is popular in world news and investigative analysis, revealed in its report published on September 17 that Pakistan had struck a deal with the US to receive a loan tranche from the IMF. According to Pakistan will not only support the position of America on the issue of Ukraine and Russia but will also ensure the supply of arms and other military equipment to Ukraine….
As far as this news is concerned, a responsible website would not have made such a big claim without proof and research and it is also interesting that earlier in the intercept on the issue of American cipher and the end of Imran Khan’s government. The author of the hidden analysis was also the journalist who reported the news of this deal. However, the position of Pakistan and the United States on this claim or no denial has not come out, but after reading this news, the 75-year-old state of Pakistan and a long history of American colonial control over it opens before the eyes.
Since its inception, Pakistan has started to depend on American aid to solve its economic problems. In the 1950s, a regular stream of aid to Pakistan began under the administration of US President Eisenhower. Since 1947, Pakistan had been trying to convince the US to ‘think about us’, but the US had no justification under which it could take any proper action from Pakistan by giving aid. As the scope of cold war widened, the Americans started to realize the importance of Pakistan, so they started giving some aid to Pakistan, but this aid was not solving our problems according to our calculations.
During President Ayub Khan’s martial law regime in 1958, Pakistan’s establishment decided to open up to economic problems and provided the US with regular military bases through which the US could easily spy on Soviet Russia. In return for this military cooperation, the US continued to give us aid, which led to economic and industrial development during the Ayub period. Since then, the nature of the Pakistani state has become second nature, that instead of improving the economy of our country and stopping the corruption and looting of national institutions, become an ally of America and dream of becoming an Asian Tiger through American aid. Thus, politicians, military and bureaucrats can and do enjoy controlling prices of sugar and ghee to the people.
If Zia-ul-Haq’s martial law is seen in this context, it appears as if Bhutto-era politics of resistance against American imperialism and the creation of a bloc of countries from the Middle East to Asian and African countries have provided Pakistan with ‘that’ aid. It was not getting what Pakistan needed and which led to major development works in Pakistan, prosperity everywhere and on the basis of which the people of Pakistan wept coldly while remembering the Ayub era, Zia era and Musharraf era. fill up
Therefore, it seems that the state of Pakistan and its institutions may have decided to hang Bhutto and once again start the journey of development and prosperity together with America. So they jumped into the Afghan war and what happened after that is a part of history.
The 1990s were tough for Pakistan and it may be that the dollar spring of the 80s was still there. But after 9/11, Pakistan again returned to its original duty and with the development in media, science and technology in Pakistan, foreign investment also came and development works were also done. That is why people still remember the development works of Musharraf’s era.
America was in Afghanistan for more or less 20 years and ours continued. After the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, Pakistan’s economic problems started to increase, which is currently in the form of severe inflation and hyperinflation.
Pakistan has had the blood of US dollars in its mouth since the very beginning, from which no one has any immediate economic and financial solution to get rid of it. This is because Pakistan could not strengthen its economic institutions, export and import processes by relying on US aid and using the skill to justify the economy with unhealthy statistics. Therefore, the state of Pakistan was now again trying to recover its ‘own’ dollars, but after establishing its Taliban government in Afghanistan, the United States turned away from us, which we did not accept at all.
Now the situation had arisen that the American aid was far away, the bailout package from the IMF was not even available and the news of the bankruptcy of the country was circulating strongly in the market. The upheaval in Pakistan’s domestic politics and international relations came when Prime Minister Imran Khan suddenly went on a visit to Russia. It was apparently a coincidence that Imran Khan was still in Russia when war broke out between Russia and Ukraine.
This agreement does not seem to be because the true nature of such conflicts between countries is known to the country’s security and intelligence agencies. If we look back at the historical procedures of the Pakistani state, it turns out that the timing of Imran Khan’s visit was very perfect. It was the perfect opportunity to negotiate with the US on its ‘frozen dollars’ by making the US feel its importance.
Pakistan has staked every institution of democracy and national security from hanging democratic leaders of its country for American aid. During the Cold War era of the 1960s, an American plane was shot down by Soviet Russia for secretly spying on Russian military installations. This plane used to take off from Budh Bir military check post near Peshawar.
This post was given by Pakistan to America for spying on Russia in exchange for American aid. It is said that in 1971 India’s overwhelming support to Soviet Russia on East Pakistan issue was to punish Pakistan for using its territory against Russia. Once again in history Pakistan’s weapons are being used against Russia in the war between America and Russia. The state of Pakistan also stakes its integrity by becoming a participant in the war of world powers to get US dollars. Someone will tell the people of the dollar-affected state of Pakistan that the nation and the state will have to pay this time for taking the American dollar?
