The ISI started the Taliban.
They were never on our side.

Pakistan needs us more...much more...than we “need” Pakistan.

Come to think of it...do we need Pakistan at all?

“failure to take action against terrorists.”
“continuing to harbor criminals and terrorists.”

—Not quite the same thing.

the problem with Pakistan harboring, aiding, abetting Muslim terrorists has been around for several years (think especially Obama regime years...and recalling that Obama went to Pakistan and a known terrorist...and Obama’s funding helping aiding abetting arming and protecting other Muslim terrorist groups from Libya to Somalia to Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood to the PLO/PA to Hezballah, etc)

Pakistan needs to clean up its act!

I would cut aid to a lot of places if I were Trump. You’re on your own third world...bye bye!

That’s where they belong and be happy.

Why is there any “foreign aid?”
Really, the allowance should be performance based.

The Irony!.....

This is the fence Pakistan is building on the Hindu kush peaks to cut itself off from the instability, terrorism, narcotics, arms and human smuggling from they say is coming from Afghanistan. It is 2800km long and is about to complete next year.

The grey sheet is to hide troops/workers from sniper fire from Afghan side.

They are selling the small arms we give them to the highest bidder, too.

The administration says Pakistan is not taking strong enough steps to combat the Taliban and other groups

Pakistan is close to 97% Muslim.
The last thing Pakistan should be doing is curtailing Muslims like the Taliban from practicing the fundamentals of the religion the way Allah wants and following the examples of Muhammad.

WE should have been wise to this years ago and not got our hopes up they would become heretical Muslims and useful idiots for us Kafirs.

It seems Pres, Trump is getting wise to this Islamic deception, where us Kafirs pay to hasten our demise. -Tom

Pakistan was created at the behest of Churchill and FDR. Churchill had approached Nehru, leader of the free India movement, and asked for a base to keep an eye on the USSR if India was granted freedom from the Brits. India said no way...after 200 years of Brits on Indian soil...it was fine for them to leave. That’s when the US and Britain started funding the Muslim league and the idea of Pakistan got started.

I wouldn’t doubt it that the founding of this beknighted godforsaken sh*thole of a place involved Communists, Muslims, and back room deals. (not to mention FDR! LOL!) Thanks for the info.
