The United States ' Relationship With Pakistan Governed, Guided And Validated By?

Moreover, Brzezinski stated that “Now a non-Eurasian power is preeminent in Eurasia—and America’s global primacy is directly dependent on how long and how effectively its preponderance on the Eurasian continent is sustained”(Brzezinski, 1997). Aside from destabilizing the USSR to seek the hegemony, the carter admission also provided financial and military aid to the Mujahedin in order to secure a global dominant in Eurasia as a means of achieving what they considered to be an essential long-term objective of the United States. What the elite policymakers did is merely use military force to defend its national interests and seek the balance of power in the Persian Gulf region instead of pursing the human rights and equality as they justified themselves in the liberalism

The Afghani experience with the Soviet Union is nothing like Central Asian-Russian relations. Ideologically Russia had the same goal for both Central Asia and Afghanistan, hoping that one day both Central Asia and Afghanistan will eventually become Communist nations. The route chose to accomplish this goal did not pan out as planned. Central Asian countries were first invaded in 1715 and again in 1865, there was little to no resistance. Russia came with economic interest and nothing else, the search for gold and the prospect of the Fergana Valley cotton industry. They lived parallel lives, did not mix with the locals or even attempt to implement themselves in Central Asian government. Central Asia never had the ability to defend itself from Russia and Russia had a legitimate geostrategic interest in controlling the region keeping it safe from any ground

As for Afghanistan the only possible benefit of conquering it is to conquer it before Britain does, and since Britain was so unsuccessful at all its attempts that was not an issue. Most of Britain’s reasoning for invading Afghanistan came from Afghanistan’s acceptance of Russian relations.

Advantageously by putting Nuristanis’ in the military hierarchy, it anticipated that Nuristans’ would not initiate rebellions against the government since the sons of Nuristani elites were now serving in its army and provided a good means to discourage any opposition from this region in the future. In May of 1978, the People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) took power and a successful revolt by the Nuristani people took place until the Soviet intervention in 1979. Their success inspired others throughout the country to rise up and bleed the Soviet Union to death through thirteen years of war. The straw that broke the Soviet Union's back sprouted in Nuristân, and we must acknowledge the pivotal historical role that the Nuristânis played in nurturing the seed. (Nuristan) Since 1978, Afghanistan has transitioned to and from multiple government control from Communism, to the corruption of democratic parties such as PDPA, the Islamic State of Afghanistan, Taliban, and now the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. The years have been filled with conflict, corruption, and outsider

In the beginning United States was very suspicious of the success of Afghan Mujahideen but in order to make the Soviets suffer as much as possible, it decided to support them at a later stage. Pakistan was an equal partner in the Mujahideen’s war against USSR, from hosting around four million Afghan refugees to provision of training and military support.

The Pashtuns had held sway in Afghan politics ever since the state assumed its current boundaries in the 1860s. By aligning with the Tajiks of the northern provinces against the Pashtuns of the south, the U.S. saw itself making common cause with the forces of secularism against militant Islam; but it was unwittingly taking sides in a complex civil war that has been going on since the 1970s—and that had roots going back much further than that. To this day, because the Pashtuns feel dominated by their ancestral enemies, many support or at least feel some residual sympathies for the Taliban.

The Enduring Strategic Partnership Agreement is a legally binding agreement that was created and signed by two sovereign nations. This agreement was signed on May 2, 2012. This goal of this agreement is “to maintain a steady relationship with Afghanistan, to help maintain Afghan sovereignty, maintain peace and prosperity between the United States and Afghanistan, and to take out our common enemy, Al Qaeda and all affiliates [with Al Qaeda].” Another goal of this treaty is to create a functioning democratic government by 2022. The agreement also states that we will help Afghanistan start and maintain a democracy. The Enduring Strategic Partnership Agreement affects the Afghanistan military, geography, economy, and the relationships with foreign countries.

This investigation to what extent did the USSR become an influential mentor in politics in Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan war is a simple but complicated investigation. Most people lack knowledge or even the existence of the Soviet-Afghan War, the Soviet-Afghan war took place during the Cold War Era, the Cold War Era lasted from 1945 to about 1990. The USSR was an influential mentor in politics along with being a major broker of power to its smaller neighboring country of Afghanistan. The involvement of the Soviet Union from its military infrastructure to the everyday society of Afghanistan. The Soviet Union, concluding World War 2 had given large amounts of financial aid along with military equipment, and the

Let us start with Afghanistan. Yes, both countries have issues dating back to 1947. The former was the only UN member to oppose the latter’s entry into the world body, a result of misplaced anger at the British Raj’s exit plan. Later, Republican Afghanistan fueled Pashtun nationalist fervor inside Pakistan as payback, tacitly supporting a secessional movement. Islamabad had no choice then but to use Islamists as a counterweight, especially when Kabul cozied up to New Delhi for similar

The United States has a complicated history with countries in the MENA region; the United States has great allies in the region, such as Jordan,Saudi Arabia, and Israel, however, there are also other countries that the United States has had mediocre relationships with such as Iraq. Due to the fact that there are multiple countries in the Middle Eastern region each with different relations to the United States, this essay will be focusing on the foreign policy and relations between Iraq and the United States from the start of the Gulf War to the Obama Administration. Although the United States has been in conflict with Iraq for the past few decades, the tables have turned and the U.S. is now aiding Iraq by fighting a common enemy: ISIS.

Unfortunately, Kremlin leaders did not account for these factors and the oblivious Soviet military entered into battle utilizing the futile British war strategy of “divide and rule.” They didn’t understand that “the use of Persian as a common language among almost all the groups and the acceptance of Islam by 99 percent of the population provided preconditions for a sense of nationality.” (Newell, 2005). In addition, they found that the cultural support for the Mujahideen by the natives hindered the engagement techniques introduced by the Red Army by allowing the guerrilla fighters to blend in with local peoples to avoid confrontation. Their cultural marriage extended from social means rather than ethnic considerations. Initial injections of Soviet Central Asian military members into Afghanistan involved serious planning miscalculations on behalf Soviet commanders. The belief that these people would be more accepted by Afghan society due to their ethnic linkage could not have been more wrong. “The appearance of Uzbecks, Tadjiks and Turkmens served as the final irritant, which the counter-revolutionary agitators and propagandists exploited.” (Grau & Gress, 2002). Consequently, stimulated growth of the armed opposition resulted.

Afghanistan for years now has turned into be the talk of the century. In that nation there has been a battle ground of altering associations, betrayal, and participation of foreign rudiments at the expenditure of the political, financial and social tragedy of the zone. Thoughts for instance 'the enemies yesterdays from are today's friends; the friends that are of today are tomorrows enemies' have frequently been knowledgeable in the due course. Issues for instance changing royalties from the Mujahideen to the Taliban, decisive the possibility of the concluding in the long and short run, and observing all of the substitutes to this plan, need an accepting of the old contexts, and predominant conditions. Was having the support for Taliban the most promising choice? Could there not be a better substitute for Pakistan in order for them to achieve the same benefits that it had plans to attain with the Taliban governmental monopoly in the neighborhood? With that said, this paper will support the theory that suggests defeating a terror group with force, and using economic incentives to turn the populace against them, thus removing their base of support.

Afghanistan has remained under challenging conditions since 1979 with major transitional periods almost every decade that badly affected the lives of its people. Firstly, war against former USSR, then an internal war, and lately a war along as well as against the

Pakistan’s historically close relationship with the US is on a divergent path due to America’s growing alliance with India designed to contain China’s rising power. This process of divergence is likely to be accelerated by US pressure on Pakistan to do three things: release Shakil Afridi, the doctor recruited by the CIA to take DNA samples from Osama bin Laden’s Abbottabad hideout; take military action against the Haqqani network and refrain from deploying theatre nuclear weapons against India.
