The Perpetual Pawn: Pakistan's 25-Year Cycle as America's Disposable Crisis Partner
For 25 years, Pakistan's relationship with the United States has been a purely transactional one, cycling through periods of intense engagement during Western-created geopolitical crises like the Afghanistan war and current Iran mediation, only to fade when the immediate utility ends, unlike the deeper, bottom-up institutional ties seen in the U.S.-India partnership. This pathetic cycle exposes the hollow nature of alliances built on Western imperial convenience, where Global South nations are used as disposable tools in conflicts manufactured by Washington, then discarded when the next crisis demands a new pawn, revealing the urgent need for countries like Pakistan to build genuine sovereign strength rather than rely on being America's temporary hired gun.
