We learned in the 2000s that Islamabad’s interests are in many ways the direct opposite of America’s.
Why? Well, I’m starting to believe that somebody took their eye off the ball, and is more infatuated with deals than basic security!
Our enemies don’t care about deals.
The people of Iran don’t care about deals.
Our military doesn’t care about deals.
The people of the U.S. don’t care about deals – thanks, Obama.
Only one person cares about deals, but that’s not why I voted for him. I thought he cared about our security, not deals! I hope he likes being laughed at too, because every bad guy in the world now knows just how to jerk his string!
Pathetic. Somebody talk to this fool!
Yes i dont trust marshal munir or the boys of aapbara very much
They seem to have opened the spigots on kharg island
How much further could we go, and what are the retaliatory measures
Get them different outfits their voices dont sound the same
I bet these twins learn early on that they can screw with their parents by sometimes claiming to be their sibling. Not sure how this ultimately affects their sense of self-identity, though.

This process can be expedited by having them listen to Kamala “Cacking” Harris for 5 minutes.
Seeing the name Sadanand Dhume, I think, huh, I don’t know that name, or, fella; think, huh, that looks a vaguely Indian sort of name; think, huh, if Indian, it’d hardly be surprising he wouldn’t trust Pakistan for anything, beyond perhaps remaining an enemy state to India. This, preliminarily — can’t read his writing here beyond the captured headline in the url link, what with paywall conditions being in the way.
So, I look him up. What do ya know! He’s an Indian foreign policy writer/journo, a menber of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a fellow at AEI. Ah, yes, well. He’s sure to give the Trump admin an even shake. Yes, surely.
On the other hand — still thinking — why on earth assume the Trump admin trusts Pakistan at all?
Could be, for instance, without the least trust the Trump admin merely uses Pakistan conveniently to its own purposes, dark (as in, unclear) though those purposes may be? Without clarity as to those hidden intentions, of course, who can tell?
O, wait! The all-knowers can! Duh.
I guess this is suicidal empathy
What did they do to deserve that
admittedly I am skeptical of the al thanis the sauds and the bin maktoum, the first for reasons we already know, prince salman (even though he is trying to make good, is running a tight rope,) and it wasn’t that long ago, when they were castigating israel for canceling mabhouh’s ticket, funding cair and the like
in other news, I have hopes about the castro indictment, but I am skeptical because of what happened in the last 30 years, when the Europeans yes those same ones who left us in the lurch in the gulf threw a life line to the castros, when
bill clinton did his detente approach, that claimed the brothers to the rescue pilots
he put up a wall in guantanamo, btw, before hand, the way the elian case went down, the promise that W would do something, he did precious little,
I once naively expected they would do something in our backyard, instead of go 3,000 miles west, but thats the expectations of youth,
Speaker Mike Johnson justifies congressional stock trading because the $174k salary isn’t enough I fear most of us don’t truly grasp the full extent of the uniparty.

This whole issue was jaw-boned to death a decade or more ago. Endless references to “banning insider trading” by congress critters, but no one ever defined “insider trading.” I believe (not sure) some legislation was passed, and I assumed correctly that it would have no effect.
Because… Insider trading has a precise definition. Trading on confidential information from inside the corporation whose stock is being traded. But that is not the problem at hand. The problem is trading on “inside government information” that the public is not privy to. Sigh.
As usual I can’t find the quote, perhaps because I misremember the author, but I believe there is a Mark Twain quote, the gist of which is: Never re-elect a congressman who has served a term or two and is not rich. Because he is just too stupid to figure out how to work the system.
FBI Director Kash Patel celebrated Aimee Bock’s May 21 sentence of almost 42 years in prison, as Bock was at the center of a fraud case that represented $250 million of taxpayer money lost. Bock ran “Feeding Our Future,” which received lavish amounts of taxpayer money under the claim it was providing millions of meals to needy children during the COVID-19 pandemic, though the whole operation turned out to be a fraud scheme.
There were two sets of identical twin boys in my high school freshman class. I eventually learned to distinguish the twins because while they looked identical, one seemed to be dominant.
I knew identical twins who were as different as ordinary sibs and a set of triplets who looked so much alike they could only be distinguished by their facial scars (they were very active boys) or lack thereof. They had a lot of fun with it.

Dress each child individually.
Let them choose two favorites colors each -example:
Red and Yellow for Sophia
Green and Blue for Amanda
If they swap clothes – 12 hours of listening to Obama speeches each.
“If they swap clothes – 12 hours of listening to Obama speeches each.”
Seems extreme, six hours would be “punishment”, 12 hours, abuse.

Bock has also implicated Ilhan Omar. Yay! Perhaps Bock hoped for a shorter sentence.
So, finally one medium fish has gone down. One hopes for more and bigger fish to come.
I wonder if the Trump DOJ is planning those prosecutions close to the midterms.
