    Oh yeah the “war on terror”

    you mean the one Americans self inflicted? The people we trained? Probably friends with Pakistan in the first place because we were training people to overthrow Afghanistan or Iraq from there or something.

      There was a definite sloppiness with proxy wars fought in cold war era. Between the USSR and the US there seems to have been a persistent fear that the other would gain power and influence if a key region failed to self govern.

      If there’s one thing that will always be true about America it’s that it will never give up an opportunity to sell or supply weapons.
