I just got a WashPo push that the morons in the White House just suspended nearly all security assistance to Pakistan.
He's aware that they have nukes, right?
Does he want the extremists to grab a hold of them?

(24,460 posts)how Republicans were screaming and yelling about President Obama making the US look weak and ineffectual and "leading from behind" for the previous 8 years? Good times. At least he got good relations restored after the clusterf**k that was W. Bush. Now, Trump seems to be succeeding in undoing all of those efforts- and in the shortest amount of time possible. I hope that other countries don't believe that Trump is a true representation of the American people and that he is a momentary aberration but then again so many millions of voters actually believed that he was an acceptable choice for President- aided and abetted, of course by Putin's Russia.

And undoing everything Obama did.
We don't have a secure voting system and have a corrupt Congress.
American people quite susceptible to propaganda.
So we are no longer trustworthy or respected.

(2,205 posts)Pakistan has been rouge partner of United States, they harbored Bin Laden for years and then Musharraf used to be on CNN claiming Laden is dead of Kidney disease, not one time but multiple times. We cannot be afraid of Pak Nukes and anyhow they have anticipated and aligned themselves with China which is investing USD50 Billion out there.
