Next time someone calls Pakistan a lap dog of the US, just show them this map. There is not another country on the planet that toes the imperial line and yet at the same time, for all intents and purposes, cucks the US when it suits them.

I get that people on here and on the β€˜left’ world over fault them for, I don’t know what, being the only muslim nuclear power in Asia, not publicly supplying the Palestinians with weapons or like, atomic bombs? but it’s quite honestly such a complex geopolitical entity that I’m surprised the US is constantly thirsting over taking over Iran all the time instead of managing their weird bdsm relationship with Pakistan. But after all, the MIC only loves money and oil and destabilization and the absolute destruction of Israel and the entire region is not a concern

Turkey does this a lot too, which is why lots of westerners hate Erdogan nearly as much as they hate the Putin

My criticism of the Pakistani government is mostly surrounding its role in the War on Terror and its complicity, but I also hold equal criticism of Jordan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, The Gulf States, Egypt and others when they act as agents of US foreign policy against the interests of their own people. Pakistan is not alone in doing this.

I liked Khan a lot, would like to see more of a return in that direction.
