US suspends military training program for Pakistan

18

This is most welcome and long overdue. The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is no friend or ally of the United States and never has been. For years its government has been fooling the kuffar, pretending to fight the Taliban and al-Qaeda while actually aiding them, often with the money we gave them to fight them. The Pakistani government knew where Osama bin Laden was for years and protected him from us. The Pakistani government was involved in the bloody and horrifying massacre in Mumbai in 2008. The Pakistani government is aligned with the jihad force, and we should never have been giving them a penny. Let’s hope this aid isn’t just “suspended,” but canceled altogether.

“US suspends military training program for Pakistan,” Anadolu Agency, August 12, 2018:

The United States has started cutting scores of Pakistani military officers from the education and training program, Pakistani media reported on Aug. 11.

The U.S. military institutions are “struggling” to fill the 66 slots, which they had kept aside for Pakistani officers, for next academic year, the daily Dawn quoted anonymous sources as saying.

The move comes a few days after Pakistan and Russia signed an agreement to allow Pakistani military officers to receive training in Russian military institutions.

“The fund for training Pakistani officers came from the U.S. government’s International Military Education and Training Program (IMET) but no funds were made available for Pakistan for the next academic year,” the daily reported.

Pakistani officers have been receiving military training and education in the U.S. since early 1960s, which were suspended in the 1990s. However, the U.S. government restored the program after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The U.S. State Department also confirmed the suspension of Pakistan’s participation in the training programs.

“So far, Pakistan’s participation in 97 training programs total valued at $3.29M has been cancelled, to include 66 IMET courses worth $2.41 million, 25 CTFP courses worth $37,000,” the State Department said in a statement.

However, it stressed that the U.S. “continues to provide civilian assistance to Pakistan in line with U.S. national interests.”…

On Jan. 1, Trump in a tweet accused Pakistan of playing a “double game” and providing sanctuaries to Taliban factions fighting American troops in neighboring Afghanistan. The tweet was followed by an aid cut which escalated tension between the allies in the U.S.-led war on terror.

Pakistan denies the charge saying it has already done “a lot” in war against terrorism, and will continue to do that but only in its own interest….

Ever notice how we’ve not heard a word about Pakistan since Obama was elected? Remember how it dominated the news cycle prior to him? It’s been crickets. It’s time to re-shine the light on this nuclear power.

Your joke was stupid and unfunny. Try these:

Q: A Pakistani, a Turk, and a Moroccan are riding through London. Who is driving?
A: A police officer.

Q: Achmed lives on the first floor of an apartment building, Mustafa lives on the second floor and Harry on the third floor. The building “mysteriously” explodes – who survives?
A: Harry of course – he has a job and was at work.

Another Muslim joke: Women’s Rights.

Stop ALL aid to nations that traditionally vote against America. Then, evict the UN and turn the complex into a veterans’ care facility.

Trump is definitely going in the right direction. Turkey, Pakistan are not allies but enemies. Pakistan has taken over $60 billion in US aid and has been using it to grow its nuclear arsenal and fund terrorism. If we think it’s bad for Iran to have nukes, imagine a failed state, an epi-center of terrorism Pakistan has them and unlike Iran they’re deployed.

The US needs to do everything in its power to de-nuclearize Pakistan. One of its politicians had threatened to nuke the Netherlands because of the Mohammad cartoon contest. This is what happens when religious lunatics (Muslims) get their hands on WMDs. Just imagine if Pakistan gave Osama bin Laden nuclear weapons on 9/11, how many millions could’ve died or still can.

The sanctions won’t do anything to Iran, they’ll continue developing. You need to do what Israel did to Syria and Iraq, go in there and obliterate their capability to develop WMDs. As for Pakistan, you need to confiscate all their nukes-the world cannot risk allowing radical Islamic terrorists to be within a military coup away from getting them. They will use them because they think they’ll all go to paradise, deterrence (MAD) doesn’t work on irrational, insane people.

Why in hell are ANY muslum pig’s anus states considered allies of the dying free world? ALL muslum states are totalitarian, theocratic, religious apartheid states. If those are your “allies” then who are your enemies? Myanmar? Israel? Angola? Armenia? Hungary? Poland?

Keep in mind that when the bin Laden raid was executed, it was done without alerting the Pakis since every other time they were included in strategic strikes, the targets had been tipped off and disappeared in advance.

Also, bin Laden had been hiding in his compound a mere ten miles from the Paki version of West Point and they filed a diplomatic protest afterward.

The 2012 movie “Zero Dark Thirty” gives a good account of what happened.
