Oil and History – Is Pakistan Repeating Afghanistan’s Mistake?
Recently, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new energy deal with Pakistan, aiming to support its oil infrastructure and development. At first glance, this seems like a promising partnership. But for those who remember history, this move raises a familiar concern.
One can’t help but recall the story of Afghanistan in the 1980s.
One Nation, One Shift, One Fallout
In the late 20th century, Afghanistan was closely aligned with the Soviet Union. With military support and infrastructure development, it was on a path of progress.
However, under pressure from religious forces and Western influence, Afghanistan severed ties with the Soviets and embraced American support.
The result?
A nation that slowly slipped into decades of extremism, war, and instability.
Is Pakistan Headed the Same Way?
Today, the U.S. is engaging Pakistan with an oil-based cooperation agreement.
While this may look like a normal energy partnership, it could be more than that.
History shows us that countries that align with global powers often pay a hidden price when priorities shift.
History is Whispering — Are We Listening?
Not all foreign partnerships are inherently harmful.
But when powerful nations offer support, it's essential to ask:
Is this mutual benefit or strategic control in disguise?
Pakistan’s oil deal with the U.S. could be more than just about energy —
It might be the beginning of a historical rerun.
