Pentagon and Pakistan!

The latest report of Pentagon about Pakistan using aid money for military purchases aimed against India is nothing new to anyone in the world. Even a fifth grade school student in India knows this and this has been going on since the 1960s as the military hardware lobby in the US was always targeting countries all over the world to sell their wares against US aid. To keep their business going and growing they were arming friends and foes without any partiality and creating enemies between generations of brothers in Palestine, India, Vietnam and Korea to name a few. If the British Empire thrived on divide and rule policy, the US economy thrives on sale of military hardware and to achieve this they would arm anyone in the world under the cover of aid. There is no reason for US to arm Pakistan as there is no threat to it either from India or other neighbouring countries inspite of all the provocations being made by it. India is a matured democratic country and would not wage a war unless its territories are breached. So any aid to Pakistan by the US is only to sell its own military hardware and fund its own industry indirectly!
