This is realpolitik 101, and every powerful society does it. Like, India didn't help sever Bangladesh f/k/a East Pakistan from Islamabad because it was being nice.

Also, the problem with Pakistan isn't that its ports could be used to import oil. It's that the ports are being configured for Chinese blue-water operations.

I can understand seizing opportunities in situations like this, however I cannot support instigating and creating these situations in the first place.

With all due respect, what you and I support isn’t super relevant to what will happen over the coming weeks.
