The fact of the matter is, the most powerful and influential foreign country operating in Pakistan today is the People's Republic of China.
ReplyDeleteThey call all the shots.
So it is ridiculous to call Imran Khan's loss of his PM position as a US coup.
In any case this is an evidence-free allegation, and the accusers have nothing to show.
Building castles in the air.
Wakakakaka…
DeleteA know-nothing kind of geopolitical fart to whitewash yr idol's known 'invisible' hands of domestic political interference.
I am not into South Asian politics but this podcast needs that kind of headline to generate interest.
DeleteAnd I agree from my limited reading, China has the most influence in Pakistan and it would be inconceivable that China would let the US have a part in Pakistan although I must say it is not beyond the US to try to influence things anywhere it can operate.
But then, it is expected for Khan to blame somebody for his ouster and the US was available
A very simple fact - how did Imran gotten kicked out of the Pakistan pmship?
DeleteIf China is that influential in Pakistan would China let his 'keyman' in Pakistan replaced so easily?
Yet an US friendly puppet has been so quickly elected in the place of Imran!
Inconceivable, indeed, that China would let the US have a part in Pakistan. YET it happened!
Did the Chinese Intel sleeps on its job?
Or that known deep pocketed 'invisible' Yankee hands have played their tricks AGAIN?
Better retreating back to yr cozy fart filled well, u r DEFINITELY not into anything, South Asian politics too, worthy of a read.
Ha ha says the person full of it!
DeleteWakakakaka…
DeleteIt's known as Ah Q attitude!
But, to an anmokausai, it acts on it to the full!
