  • We lost an entire populist party due to Biden, with thousands of citizens arrested, several MPAs & MNAs assassinated, and the former PM in jail on phony charges. Oh and the internet still half banned.

    Conveniently Trump had no issue with said PM, either due to his former ties as a cricket captain or because for some reason he thought he should maintain foreign relations through the civilian government like a normal person and not negotiate with the insane pakistani army.

    so yes

    they were sweeter on Pakistan, as much as that pains me to say

    Of course it was probably a one time wonder, but that doesn’t change the fact that Pakistan’s last cries of democracy were finally executed because the USA once again loves to protect its foreign power, and it totally wasn’t a coincidence it was from the former VP under the Obama administration that already did the exact same thing of bribing some army generals to do some dirty work.

    Pakistan did this thing where they banned rifles (and basically anything not a handgun) without extensive permits for all new gun sales. Then they offered to buy all the guns, which a ton of people traded in for some cash, which greatly reduced the amount of firearms owned by the public.

    It would work great here except there’s a 0% chance the government would want to use money to solve a problem.
