President Trump Cuts Off $255 Million in Military Aid to Pakistan

[longknife]

Awesome!

The statement reflected and sealed the administration’s complete disillusionment with Pakistan, which had sought to brazenly disregard the explicit warnings issued by President Donald Trump personally and leading members of his cabinet, such as secretaries James Mattis and Rex Tillerson.

“This could be the severest blow dealt to Islamabad by this administration if it indeed decided to withhold it,” said a leading US expert on Pakistan, who did not want to be identified. “There is more coming,” the expert added.

If only the billions more we send in foreign aid would be cut off. We could afford to pay for a massive effort to improve our own infrastructure.

From No More Free Money to Pakistan: President Trump Cuts Off $255 Million in Military Aid to Pakistan

need to cut these crap big time --it helps nothing
need to cut many consulates--cutting immigration-- also--saving more money...we don't need all these consulates in shithole areas

By donating money to the ruling elites of these third world countries, they do their best to restrain the radicals inside their own populations, especially Marxist radicals and Jihadists.

Pakistan got its aid cut because of the two faced efforts they have made and Trump is telling them to get their shit together or face more cuts.

These donations we make to foreign governments are some of the most effective expenditures we make on the whole.

it changes nothing
you still have conflicts/wars/etc all over the world
Pakistan was ''harboring'' Osama and didn't even know it

--we propped up the Shah in Iran and he restrained them all right! to the point the people said enough of this shit---
SAVAK - Wikipedia
etc etc

----we spent $Billions propping up the MANY South Vietnamese leaders--some who did the same as the Shah--you know how that ended..communist in charge

----Cambodia --huge waste of $Billions

Between 1955 and 1963, the United States provided $409.6 million in economic grant aid and $83.7 million in military assistance

During the 1970–75 war, the United States provided $1.18 Billion in military assistance to government forces in their fight against the Khmer Rouge as well as $503 million in economic assistance.

communist in charge and a genocide by them..this was WORSE than a total loss
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodia–United_States_relations-
--Afghanistan--we helped them and then they stabbed us in the back
---we assisted the Contras financially and militarily---big WASTE
all throughout US history....all over the world
etc etc etc

--here's the real stupid stuff:
we helped/were friends with Iran and the Shah--then we were in conflict with them
---so then we helped Iraq to fight Iran...giving Iraq assistance
--then we went to war with Iraq
!!!!!!!!!!

no no no --the $$$$ usually don't change a dam thing --

Yep, conducting foreign policy by tweet - Smart move Mango Mussolini
Pakistan-US war of words over Donald Trump's tweet

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump Jan 1
The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!

Can we cut the billions in welfare payments to Neocon Netty in Israel also?

If that includes Israel, I'm all for it. .....

Nothing has been cut yet...

The key is we have to remove them if the governments in question don't play ball.

Trump is doing that.

Obviously, you're not a student of U.S. history. .....

When we try to bully other nations, it might work for the short term, but it always creates resentment that festers into a rancid relationship later at best, sabotage and active opposition at worst.

Pakistan used to be a good ally, but they see their primary enemy as India, and the Taliban as a strategic partner and reserve of veteran manpower for long term war against India.

We see the Taliban as perhaps our greatest ongoing enemy at war and India as a strategic ally.

This is a toxic relationship from the roots up.

This is another example of Trump's ignorance on the global stage.

Pakistan's government is not very strong & faces widespread attacks from the Anti-US factions.

Trump just weakened the Pakistani government which is US friendly.

If they would lose their seat, the next government may not be US friendly.

Trump is such an ass as his ignorance endangers us all.
