Why were we aiding Pakistan to begin with? Do we have a base there?


Trying to secure their nukes since they are credited with giving Iran and DPRK the leg up on making nukes. We also were trying to buy their help in the war on terror. Then we stabbed Pervez in the back and not surprisingly haven't been getting much assistance.

Are you suggesting that killing Osama bin Laden wasn't a smart move? It did exactly the same thing.

Osama bin Laden dead: angry Pakistan drops intelligence sharing with West

Smart move or no? If you think it was a smart move, then you agree that in certain circumstances your absolutely should take adverse action against a supposedly ally, correct?

Don't doubt for a moment that our current relationship with India made this decision easy. Really easy.

Not only is Haley Indian, but her father is Sikh, a religious minority in India.

As we have been told ad nauseam by the regressives, DJT hates minorities.

India is the largest democracy in the world. It always baffled me that the US and India haven’t had a closer relationship through the years.

And I'm really happy we are developing a better relationship with India. India and the US will play well together. We have a lot in common starting with language but more importantly entrepreneurial spirit.

F the Paks.

I’ve got a great real estate deal for anyone that thinks they didn’t know OBL was there all along.

we are aiding Pakistan because they have nukes and we don't want the extremist to get their hands on them. This isn't a smart move by Trump at all.


If Pakistan is stupid enough to let their nuke fall into TERRORISTS’ hands, they would have 20X more problems than us.

Things like this are common sense and it's a wonder that it's taken this long for a president to implement this simple and practical avenue to control behaviors.

Good.

Congress should still pass Rand Paul's bill stopping paki funding anyway. It needs to be codified into law.

Say what you will about Trump but he is the first president in my lifetime to hold other countries accountable for being hostile parasites



It's truly a breath of fresh air and if he keeps this up and delivers everything else, he truly has the makings of being one of the greatest American Presidents ever and on par with Reagan, possibly better.
