No i dont think We lost either of the countries.

It is the National Interest of a country which is at the base for shaping foreign policy vis a vis any country in the world. Please correct yourself; TAPI has not started yet, only MoU signed and other documents and codal formalities. What we offer to Russia is that We offer a cometitive bidding as per international SOPs, but contrary to this Russia wants a direct contract awarding facility from Pak govt.

As far as action against Haqqanis is concerned, Pak govt and military do not see Haqqanis as a hostile force challenging Pak state. Instead, Pak sees Haqqani group as 'Good Talibans', who are ready to accept dialogue and can facilitate any political settlement with the warring Talibans in Afghanistan, since they are Pushtun and have close links with Taliban (Pushtun) in Afghanistan.

The future foreign policy will be some thing like this:

US-Pak reproachment over Afghanistan 2014 endgame.
2. Pak may take cosmatic actions against Talibans (Haqqanis). Hence, Pak will play a key role in facilitating a political dialogue.
3. Pak foreign policy in US-Afghanistan game will be seen from Indian perspective, as Pak does not want India to take hegemony in Afghanistan.
4. Pak-US ties will remain in the cold stagnation as US will wait for the next Govt after the Polls to set new foreign policy parameters and understandings.

5. Relations with Russia will be dominated by Pakistan commitment towards energy cooperation in the region especial TAPI and IP and CASA 1000.
6. How Pak will assist Russia in developing a new road-rail link (energy corridor) in the region from CARs to Afghanistan and then to Pak and India.
7. How Pak will chew on the US bait as the 2014 deadline approaches.

whereas, Pak govt will try to broker a peace settlement which is not hostile to Pak interests in Afghanistan.
2. Pak will want foreign forces to exit as early as possible.
3. Pak military will continue to fight militancy.
4. Relations with India will be dominated by Pak role in prosecuting Terrorists.

Regards.
