The current Indo-US strategic dialogues which are held in order to discuss the Pak-Afghan situation and bilateral counter-terrorism cooperation are seen critically in China and other South Asian countries. The talks scenario is significant as the worlds geopolitical environment is changing rapidly, Indo-China and US-Pak relations are in turmoil, stories about Indo-China border clash are in news while the obstacles faced by the US in handling the foreign policy with Pakistan is also in focus. India seems to grasp the natural resources of Pakistan, especially of water, and Kashmiris are as usual fighting for freedom and on human rights issues while the US according to Indias wishes has lately said that Kashmir issue should be solved bilaterally between Pakistan and India and US will not intervene.
Drone attacks on Pakistan territory are increasing in number but US is still not satisfied by Pakistans war against terrorism because the US wants its own force in Pakistan to raid fight the terrorists. The US, who failed in Afghanistan, is now seeking Russian help in Afghanistan which is grave news for Pakistan and China. Moreover, India has recently got the opportunity to intervene in the matters of Afghanistan on the name of development, though she was already using the Afghan land for sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan. So the current Indo-US strategic talks have further escalated the problems for Pakistan.
Israel is as usual busy in slaughtering the Gaza; it is having bitter relations with Turky as Turky blames Mossad for sponsoring terrorism in their land. Mossad with India and CIA is already poking its nose in order to destabilize Pakistan, Iran and China. The latest information reveals that the Indian Army is now revising its five year old doctrine to effectively meet the challenges of war with China and Pakistan. News about Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear installations is already in focus and if it happens, India will provide air bases for refuelling and other logistic support to Israel.
The US, Israel and India seems to form a deadly nexus which can turn the world security environment into a hell. They are playing double game with Pakistan, Russia and even with some western countries. There actions, especially in South Asia, can drag the world into a nuclear war. Currently, the main target seems to be Pakistan due to its geo-strategic location and nuclear status. Pakistani must know all these realities and understand that it needs to be alert on high level, especially on diplomatic level.
