Trump gets it right, again. Time to dump this loser of a country slap it with a travel ban. Let’s focus our resources on something that will pay off, like defending sovereignty and freedom in Taiwan and Israel.
Pakistan is up there with Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia and Iran as one of the countries governed by the most terrible regimes in the world.
I think with Pakistan, it's more like the government turns a blind eye to the extremism rather than being the extremist mullahs themselves. Their actual laws aren't as draconian as Saudi or Iran. For example the government doesn't force women to cover their hair or face.
Unfortunately for pakistan they can't make it rain like Saudi Arabia so they will be ones being "put on noticed." If Pakistan did have nice a$$ets they could have the honor of making money moves with our president. damn you guys got me addicted to cardi b! bastards!
How is this even news? This is the same country that harbored Bin Laden among other high level Al Qaeda leaders. Obamas admin and intelligence dept didn’t get enough credit for their work in covert operations like the Seal Team 6 raid. They had more guts than Trump who only trolls on Twitter instead of taking real action.
I'm sure there are some laws but the actual enforcement of Islamic laws by the government isn't as extreme as Iran or Saudi. Pakistan's issue is the government turning a blind eye to the actual islamic militant groups in the country who have a lot of clout.
As usual, there is always more to it. I think it is absolutely correct that Pakistan either intentionally or through negligence or possibly both allowed terrorists to operate in their territory. That is absolutely unacceptable. At the same time, they have allowed the U.S. to use their bases, airspace, given or verified intel when requested and all of that. Their government is terrible and has been horrible for a long time. The thing as horrible as the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan is now, it will be many times worth if they feel they owe nothing to the United States and are completely cut off. In addition, the use of their territory and resources will be missed. They should be called out for turning a blind eye and/or allowing terrorists to operate in their territory. That issue should be addressed, and the United States is correct to address it. But abandoning them completely isn't really the best way to deal with it.
Pakistan has a nuclear weapon too.... Honestly, what is cutting off aid going to do? Their brand of terrorism has a large backing by Saudi Arabia, our allies.
Good job president Trump. I wanted the US to reduce foreign aid especially from countries that hate us for so long.
