In his article, Rubin wrote that “From Washington’s perspective, Pakistan is not a woman worth marrying, but a prostitute to be used and thrown away,” adding that Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir is “just a new pimp.” Rubin argued that Pakistan “cannot be trusted” and claimed that the country has historically overestimated its strategic importance to Washington. He wrote that all this is happening at a time when there is anger in India over Trump’s recent rapprochement with Pakistan and his comments praising that country and its leadership. Rubin wrote that Trump has “completely destroyed decades of efforts to build a US-India partnership” by embracing Pakistan despite its history of harboring Osama bin Laden and supporting the Taliban.

The former Pentagon official also criticized Trump for honoring Munir. He described Munir as a “terrorist” who has “both American and Indian blood on his hands.” Referring to Trump’s recent diplomatic initiatives, Rubin wrote that Pakistan probably feels it can gain military and strategic advantages against India by using its role in regional mediation. He also took aim at Trump’s understanding of the Kashmir issue, saying the US President’s past comments about the “thousand-year-old dispute” It turns out that he “has no knowledge of history.” Citing the history of US-Pakistan relations, Rubin argued that Washington has repeatedly engaged with Islamabad only when it was strategically necessary to do so, and then turned away from it once its objectives were achieved.

He cited Cold War-era alliances, sanctions related to Pakistan’s nuclear program, and Washington’s reliance on Islamabad during the Soviet-Afghan War and post-9/11 operations in Afghanistan to highlight how “transactional” the relationship has been. Rubin further argued that now that US forces are no longer present in Afghanistan, Pakistan’s strategic importance to Washington has once again diminished. Rubin wrote that Pakistan may feel that it is fooling Trump, but the reality may be just the opposite. He further said that Islamabad will eventually realize that it cannot rely on the promises made during Trump’s presidency.
