Pentagon cancels $300 million in aid to Pakistan over its failure to counter jihadis

26

This is long overdue. For years, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has taken the money that the United States has given to them for the purpose of fighting jihad terrorists and given large portions of it to those same jihad terrorists. Nothing was done about this in Washington — until Donald Trump became President. At last, we have an American President.

“Exclusive: Pentagon cancels aid to Pakistan over record on militants,” by Phil Stewart and Idrees Ali, Reuters, August 31, 2018:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. military said it has made a final decision to cancel $300 million in aid to Pakistan that had been suspended over Islamabad’s perceived failure to take decisive action against militants, in a new blow to deteriorating ties.

The so-called Coalition Support Funds were part of a broader suspension in aid to Pakistan announced by President Donald Trump at the start of the year, when he accused Pakistan of rewarding past assistance with “nothing but lies & deceit.”

The Trump administration says Islamabad is granting safe haven to insurgents who are waging a 17-year-old war in neighboring Afghanistan, a charge Pakistan denies.

But U.S. officials had held out the possibility that Pakistan could win back that support if it changed its behavior….

Great !

Going to war based on video made by Al-qaeda affiliates was height of stupidity.

It took Israelis to expose truth about Palestinian fakery and Lies and boy was Trump furious when he realised how he had been conned http://bit.ly/2rOmfyJ

It is about time, how many terrorist have we found in Pakistan? Don’t tell me they did not know that Bin Laden was hiding in Pakistan. They are not our friends, they are good actors.

They are not even good actors, the U.S. State Department has till now just been stupid in not drawing up clear guidelines regarding what constitutes acceptable behaviour by a supposed friend – even if a ‘friend’ of convenience. For all the things Donald Trump does that makes me shake my head, he is doing so many good things that it’s like a breath of fresh air.

Many of these things like this were because the Muslim Marxist Obama wanted any Muslim country to get hard earned tax dollars from America….along with the Dhimmi Bush-Clinton Cabals….

“But U.S. officials had held out the possibility that Pakistan could win back that support if it changed its behavior….” I didn’t see it, but was there not a movie once called “Sleeping with the Enemy”? It just astounds me that we spend our good money supporting these swine.

Why is the USA supporting any totalitarian, theocratic, religious apartheid muslum states at all? FFS, Pakistain was FULLY complicit in the genocide of 2.5 million Hindus in Bangladesh in the 1970’s:

Cancelling that money is a step in the right direction. Why doesn’t the U.S. go further and demand a refund for the wasted billions already sent to that sewer.

WTF are they handing out our hard-earned money like it was candy??? I demand a tax refund. I didn’t agree to hand over money to a TURD world lazy nation that has no toilets.

Spend this money on the American people.

These countries need to be denuclearized, Islam is a death cult and likely to start an attack based on a temper tantrum of not being rewarded for committing terrorist acts.

President Trump gets it right again. Don’t forget, the Pakis sheltered bin Laden for the better part of a decade in his ostentatious compound that was a mere ten miles away from their version of West Point.

That compound showed up in satellite photos, so obvious had it been a rattlesnake it would have bit them.

President Trump scores again. Don’t forget the Pakis sheltered Osama bin Laden in that palatial compound of his for the better part of a decade, a mere ten miles away from their version of West Point.

Don’t worry because they will be refugees next trying to find opportunities and welfare while they train their children to be an army of killers. How stupid can we be? We bring those who believe in a fourteen hundred year old idealogy of world domination to our shores, give them monthly incomes higher than most seniors and vertrans, all the while knowing they are using that down time to birth and raise more terrorist to kill the infidels and kuffars.That be ” US” providing their income to survive.
