Pakistan’s actions come straight from the U.S.’s arm’s dealer training manual. It states very clearly if you can sell weapons to both sides of a conflict and maximize your profit. If you can prolong the conflict for even more profit. After all profit and the accumulation of wealth is the only purpose to life. Don’t believe me ask the 2 economists you invited a few weeks ago.
This is economics in a deregulated market, pure and simple. Why is is suddenly evil if it is Pakistan making the profit but U.S., home of 80% of the worlds arms dealers, is exempt from this economic analysis?
They are simply being proper, rational, economists making a profit nothing more. I bet they have copies of Friedman too.
What you want to destroy this profitable, free market arrangement with government regulations? That’s outrageous and I am shocked you would suggest it.

Is this truly a news flash to anyone with intel, or analyst experience? I would have thought not.
