Unfortunately, and it pains me to say this, the U.S. hardly ever delivers on promises made during "war-time", or really any other time. If Pakistan
starts pressuring the U.S. for military support, and the U.S. says "no", then Pakistan will have to find another place to buy from. China, as you
stated, is the most open country for the purchase of military equipment. Problem is, if Pakistan's government buys weapons and technology from China,
then later down the road Pakistan will become not only a proxy war battle ground with China, but a "terrorist haven" that will legitimize(I use that
word loosely) a U.S. invasion of Pakistan. Just to install their own government, and take whatever oil and other resources Pakistan might have.
Every dictator that the US has ever fought was a friend prior to the start of war-talk.
Hitler, Stalin, Pinoche, Batista, Noriega, The Saudi Royal Family, Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden, and many, many others going back to the beginning
of the 20th century. This tells me that it doesn't pay to be a puppet to the U.S.
Until we change our attitude and our way of thinking. Until we realize that we have a rightful place in the world, and that we are NOT the world, then
expect nothing good to come from a friendship with the U.S.
