American political analyst and former Pentagon official Michael Rubin has sharply criticized the longstanding U.S.-Pakistan relationship, describing it as deeply flawed and one-sided. In recent remarks, Rubin stated that America has long used Pakistan as a transactional partner without genuine reliability, likening the dynamic to exploitative usage rather than a stable alliance. He argued that Pakistan cannot be trusted as a dependable partner due to its history of duplicity, support for certain militxnt groups, and shifting loyalties based on immediate gains. Rubin, a senior fellow known for his views on Middle East and South Asian affairs, highlighted repeated instances where Pakistan has received U.S. aid while pursuing policies at odds with American interests, particularly in counterterrxrism and regional stability. He suggested Washington should reassess its approach and avoid treating Islamabad as a reliable ally. The comments reflect broader frustrations among some U.S. analysts regarding Pakistan's role in Afghanistan, its nuclear program, and ties to groups threatening stability in South Asia. No immediate response from Pakistani officials was available. @thetrid.ent
