He says Pakistan has been getting less than $10 million a year. USAID says that the U.S. gave Pakistan $778 million in 2016 alone. And then Abbasi added that whopper about Pakistan being on the “forefront” of the fight against jihad terror. “War is deceit,” said Muhammad. In any case, Abbasi, fine. Just send it all back, and the U.S., if common sense prevails, won’t send any more.
“Pakistan PM calls US aid ‘insignificant’ as Trump threatens to cut it off,” by Haroon Janjua and Julian Borger, Guardian, January 5, 2018:
Pakistan’s prime minister, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, has declared himself mystified by US threats to cut off funding, saying that US financial assistance was “very, very insignificant” and that Pakistan was “on the forefront of the war on terror”.
In an interview with the Guardian, Abbasi said that reports that the US was considering cuts of up to $2bn in security assistance were bewildering because the total aid Pakistan – civilian and military – actually received was a tiny fraction of that amount.
“I am not sure what US aid has been talked here,” Abbasi said in his office in Islamabad. “The aid in the last five years at least has been less than $10m a year. It is a very, very insignificant amount. So when I read in the paper that aid at the level of $250m or 500 or 900 has been cut, we at least are not aware of that aid.”
Donald Trump used his first tweet of 2018 to threaten to withhold aid to Pakistan because of what he called its “lies and deceit” over terrorism, claiming: “They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help.” The president has that the US had “foolishly” given Pakistan $33bn over the past 15 years.
According to the US Agency for International Development, the US gave $778m to Pakistan in assistance in 2016, of which 35% was military and the rest economic….

An average Pakistan per capita: ~$1500/year, that would be about 6000 ppl not hungry, whole year, if properly managed. Yep, as RS said, send it back.
Westman says
It’s worse than that if the difference in puchasing power is considered. US dollars will buy 3 times as much goods and services in Pakistan as in the US so that 6,000 would be more like 18,0000. And that $33 Billion, over 15 years, would be $99 Billion in puchasing power.
However this isn’t much compared to the overall $300 billion yearly economy which in terms of US evaluated goods and services is worth about $900+ Billion(US).
US aid is not insignificant yet it won’t matter much since Pakistan is growing its economy faster than many other Muslim countries due to an attitude of competition with, and survival from, India. It appears that most Pakistanis do not prefer death to life and are actually working to survive.
Westman says
Correction, 18,0000 should be 18,000.

And I notice the CFR panel behind him.
CFR = a highly select and wealthy group of people, based in NYC and DC, with satellite operations across the globe (RIIA (Chatham House), Club of Rome, et alia), which will use any means to institute world government.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
The pm should ask for complete stoppage of all aids from evil united states tied with mischief and blackmail. At this âge, Pakistan could stand on its own. what Pakistan is lacking to rely on aid ? It has technology and vast resources together with qualified personnel .Let them tap the potentials and avoid reliance on world number one mischiefmaker, the evil united states. They hate all muslims ,whether moderates or radicals.
StellaSaidSo says
The hate emanates from Islam – not from the United States, or any other Western country – and dates back 1400 years. I suggest you actually READ your unholy book instead of swooning like an idiot over it, for a change.
Linde Barrera says
To Ibrahim Itace Muhammed- Is the Pakistani Prime Minister referring to the $10 million as “insignificant” because that is all the money he personally received? ??
mortimer says
Ibrahim, you know that your tongue speaks TAQIYYA. Al Walaa wal Baraa (the HATRED OF KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’) is normative Islam.
Ibrahim, how much do you HATE dirty kafirs? 1) once a week 2) every 20 minutes 3) you wish to join ISIS and attack them suddenly wherever you find them?
Ibrahim, please tell us if you hate kafirs ENOUGH to please Allah. We are waiting for your answer.
DP111 says
Perhaps the $10m is his own take.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Pakistan is certainly busy tapping their vast resources of little boys who live on the street.

“evil united states.. they hate all muslims” another perfect example of Muslim projection.
Ny Times Aug. 21, 2009:
U.S. Officials Get a Taste of Pakistanis” Anger at America
By HELENE COOPER
KARACHI, Pakistan “” Judith A. McHale was expecting a contentious session with Ansar Abbasi, a Pakistani journalist known for his harsh criticism of American foreign policy, when she sat down for a one-on-one meeting with him in a hotel conference room in Islamabad on Monday. She got that, and a little bit more.
After Ms. McHale, the Obama administration’s new under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs, gave her initial polite presentation about building bridges between America and the Muslim world, Mr. Abbasi thanked her politely for meeting with him. Then he told her that he hated her.
” “˜You should know that we hate all Americans,” ” Ms. McHale said Mr. Abbasi told her. ” “˜From the bottom of our souls, we hate you.” “
This is the actual truth, not the through-the-looking-glass fantasies of our troll. As for blackmail and mischief, same story. As far back as the 1980s when Pakistan assured its benefactor (the evil united states) that it would never need to develop a nuclear weapon as long as it was provided military aid, it
has been an endless succession of lies and blackmail and lethal “mischief” (from jihad war to Christian persecution to spreading nukes to enemies of the “evil united states”TM).
Yes, let Pakistan get by on its own or rely on the generosity of its co-religionists, see how it thrives. Islamic Hellhole-wise.
Lucretius says
Yes, no more jizya for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. For once an angry Muslim says something I can agree with.
lagitane says
No, we do not hate Muslims but abhor your Islamic culture. Your culture is a metastasizing cancer that is especially lethal to women. Muslims can come to the west and be pandered to in terms of welfare, praying in the street, opening schools and mosques that preach evil and intolerance, spewing crap like you do on Internet sites. Can I do the same in Muslim majority countries? Can I go to Mecca (may piss be upon him)? Can I sell Bibles in Iran wearing a miniskirt with my lovely long locks flowing freely? Can I open a gay club without getting harassed or thrown in jail in one of your Muslim hellholes? I do agree that the U.S. should retreat from all of these backward third world cesspools and let them implode in their own ignorance and dysfunction. No more money to any country on the planet.
elee says
Be aware llagitane that as a good Muslim Ibrahim Itace Muhammed would be commanded to hate you. And if you are or were a good Christian you would be required not to hate him. After a lot of study and reflection, this seems to me to capture the difference between his culture and ours. I think a free and open examination of the two ideas and the civilizations based on them leads inevitably to the conclusion that ours is preferable. Then again, they don’t do free examination of ideas in Islam, so their ideas may be a better prescription for world domination. And then again & on the other other hand, the Communists didn’t do a lot of free examination of ideas till their ideas failed millions of people for several generations…..
gravenimage says
Well, Ibrahim itace muhammed is right, for once. Cut all aid to Mohammedan states.
To hear him describing our wanting them to refrain from spending their anti-terrorism money on terrorism as “blackmail” is quite hilarious, though.
Westman says
“They hate all muslims ,whether moderates or radicals.” – Ibrahim.
Quite wrong, Ibrahim. They hate that Islam has stolen the personal potential and wealth of Muslims to only turn the clock on moderate Muslim life, inspire mahem for the fundamentalists; while producing nothing. When a parasite takes over control, its host often behaves in a dangerous manner that demands caution.
Disliking a disease does not transform into dislike for the victim.
AleX says
@ Ibrahim itace mohomet
I see you feel a lil’ icky-itchy about murika that you hate so much.
I predict, the way you talk, you are about to start your own sudden jihad against the filthy mithraist.
If allah compels, you can swiftly turn into a foot soldier of the khilafa.
So what say ye?
WPM says
The Pakistani Prime Minister is hoping Soros will keep delivery his monthly money drop offs in his Swiss bank accounts if he tots the one world government line in press conferences ..As far as Pakistan standing on its own feet it would be interesting if the people their facing worst poverty by the subtraction of foreign aid would over throwing their corrupt government .Lets stop all immigration of all Moslems to our country” Let them tap the potentials and avoid reliance on world number one mischief maker the evil United States” evil Western world that would make them see if they can work together in making their own world better .India and Pakistan both became their own countries in the 1940s why is Pakistan still a backward corrupt poor country as India has made great strides in the last decade answer Pakistan is run by a morally corrupt Islamic thinking government. When you get a government founded on the robbery bandit musing of Mohammed who thinks thief ,murder ,slavery are things to aspire to can you get nothing other then a corrupt evil, government.
elee says
Didn’t the whole notion of being BFF with Pakistan originate when Nixon found soulmates in their government, back when he was running the newly-revived “madman gambit” in superpower relations? No wonder they think we’re incapable of electing a rational executive. Hearty agreement with all proposals to defund Pakistan, and maybe shut off remittances too, why should their chief export—unskilled labor—-send their wages from our factories to their jihadists. Hey I know—-maybe if they cede Baluchistan to the Persian fifth column that’s there already, the Persians will help them export more jihad. Well, at least it won’t be my tax dollars supporting them.
DFD says
“…Pakistan’s PM: Aid from US is “very, very insignificant” and Pakistan is “on the forefront of the war on terror”…”
I tried to make sense of this, then I found the only possible explanation: He is a very, very distant relative of Yosemtie Sam!
This would make perfectly sense since Islam leads to mental problems, so severe that users of that book commit crime upon crime.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
wpm, note most of such corrupt muslim leaders are not representing muslim population, they are being installed by the west to steal their ressources and stash them into western économies and their local economies shattered.where they have good leaders with Will to develope their economies, the West instigate their overthrow. This has happened in Turkey where Erdorgan pushed Turkish economy to highest growth raté, but the West headed headed by evil united states instigated his overthrow, which fortunately failed. Corrupt leaders líke Saudi Royal family take country’s income líke family property, they share some among themselves and thé rest taken and stash in western economies leaving their people hand to mouth.
wpm, Will you advise your western governments to stop this wickedness and allow muslims to have good leaders to fix their economies ? Muslims are not inherently lazy or lacking talent. They are caged by you.Let them have free Will and See wonders in Few years to Come. Pakistan, Turkey, Indonesia,malasya,Iran and Egypt, have the potential of moving quickily to avancement with good leaders.
StellaSaidSo says
‘Muslims are not inherently lazy or lacking in talent…’
In that case, let’s switch off the welfare tap that most of them are sucking on, and see them do an honest day’s work for a change.
LeftisruiningCanada says
You really do think that all problems for muslims are the fault of unbelievers don’t you??
It was only a joke when i said that in another comment thread…
Do you believe that it is all ultimately the work of Jews?
It is flattering that you believe the West has so much power and influence…..
lagitane says
I could give two figs about your economies. The U.S. needs to remove all bases and money from your Neandertal hellholes and let you all fight it out amongst yourselves. What I do care about is that no more of you come to the west with your culture of violence, misogyny, and bigotry toward religious and sexual minorities. Yes, not all Muslims act on these cultural patterns, but we must exclude all to make sure none of the bad apples get through. Your young males are the worst, they are true demons in their treatment of women. You worship the devil. God help you all.
WPM says
A truly Islamic lead nation with a leaders following true Islamic teaching has in 1400 years not risen about three world status. Any nation following the true laws of Islam fails to raise above three world status not because of outside influence ,because their is no free will allow in Islam. You have slave masters and you have the slaves their is no reward for improving or changing anything because the Koran told you cannot. Projecting all this crap about Jews ,Christians, Hindu plots to keep the good Islamic man down the failure of the Islamic man is he cannot raise to any self improvement he is not held responsible for his own actions he is “the best of people”. That is why all those Islamics want to get the hell out of their Islamic countries their own thinking and way of life is soul crushing ,if there are no nonbelievers of Islam they{the Moslems} just turn and kill each other. End all aid to them end immigration to the Western world let them fight among themselves like rock headed child like mentality Islam installed into their moral fiber.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
wpm, you lied that Islam is the factor of underdevelopment in muslim nations. why you are disturbing Progressive Iran and want regime change simply because its say no to hegemony and unfair and exploitative economic relations , while supporting and sustaining backwarded saudi monarchs Who stash their assets in your economies leaving their people hand to mouth ? why It is only muslim nations you invade and destroy líke you what you did to Iraq and Libya ?
You are simply wicked people, the habit you learn from your god the Satan (holy spirit) the father of all evils
LeftisruiningCanada says
The reason you think it’s ‘only muslims nations’ that have military action taken against them is the same reason you think everyone in the West hates you, and that every problem in the islamic world is the cause of outsiders:
muslim narcissism.
LeftisruiningCanada says
And, if there are a few more islamic majority countries that get the attention of the West, it might just be because they are the most dysfunctional, unstable and violent places in the whole wide world.
And your brothers are trying to create the same mayhem on our streets as they do on their own….see the pattern?
Like unruly children, they can’t seem to manage themselves without a parent around. Unlike children, they are all too ready to take up machetes, guns and explosives and use them on those around themselves.
And, muslims kill a lot more muslims than the armies from the West do.
Islam and the societies it creates are their own worst enemy, but you’re all infected with such dazzling levels of arrogance, laughable pride and childish spite, that you endlessly, desperately, seek for any reason to exonerate yourselves from blame and responsibility for your own mistakes.
Facing the sheer depth of your hopeless, useless, evil culture is the most painful, but most necessary, thing the islamic world is in need of doing, but i think you’d all rather stay drunk on the intoxicating conspiratorial worldview which protects you all from having to do that one, vital, piece if self reflection.
WPM says
Where did I say anything Iran ,Iran,s people wants to go to a non Islamic government now, you brought it up .The hand to mouth Islamic governments run countries for the last 1400 years in a slave to master relationship, non -Islamic secular governments do not need slave master relationships. The Holy Spirit last I heard does not have an office or a position in the American or Israel government. The Holy Spirit last I heard does not work the American CIA or the Israel government. The Iran government in charge now hates the Saudi government It Sunni against Shitte religion of Islam Moslems that hate each other ,but hate America and Israel more .When did America invade Iran? or did the Holy Spirit do it for America and Israel? The Holy Spirit cause riots in Iran notify the Pope get the Holy hand grenade out !

Of course Muslim leaders are corrupt, It started with the “Prophet” Muhammed himself, who took one-fifth of the booty, including all the cutest victims to use as sex slaves.
As for “Muslims are not inherently lazy or lacking talent”–no, this is not inherent–it is taught. Muslims reject reason, innovation, and productive labor. Hard to get too far under those circumstances.
As for the idea that that it is the mean old West that is holding Muslims back, what he means is that he could have another “Islamic Golden Age” if only Westerners would submit to being conquered by the Lions of Islam…

If aid from US is “very, very insignificant”, then stop aiding Pakistan.
Naildriver says
Put the money given to Islamic countries into our military industrial complex, and let’s prepare for war. Yes, against these ‘ allies’, against this slime mold of disorder that is Islam, and concentrate upon better relations with Russia, China, and Europe (or promote anti-Islamist politics in these countries) and put a final caboose upon Islam, and finally once and for all, destroy Islam’s presence upon the world, and efface Mecca completely, with zero visitation permitted — ever, once and for all.
Yes, it is thinkable; and yes, it is that important; to eradicate Islam for any viable future the human race may have upon this planet. And, it is doable.
Do you really want to wait till they have arsenals of ICBMs as the Soviet Empire, that can lay waste to the planet? Pakistan could do serious damage already with nukes, but presently nothing compared to what Non Muslims will face in twenty years.

Muslims invented nothing. AQ Khan studied in the West–that is where he got his knowledge from.
And, of course, no one is talking about wiping out all Muslims.
This is, in fact, nothing but projection–Ibrahim itace muhammed has said that all Infidels who fail to submit to Islam can be slaughtered, and that he looks forward to taking part in the genocide of the Jews. *Ugh*.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
mortimer, not hate as such. But ï hate those who are hostile to muslims and want imposé totalitarian hegemony on them líke current policies of savage mad devil Trump to subjugate all muslims, whether terrorists or not.
The glorious Quran told us that Allah does not prohibit friendly relationship with unbelivers Who do not show hostility to muslims or harm them. pursant to that the holy prophet muhammad, Who was the Best interpreter of the Quran, maintained friendly or alliance with Catholic christians from Najran and those from Ethiopia.

What he means is that he hates everyone who does not submit to Islam. He has said that anyone who does not submit to Islam should be butchered.
And note how pious Muslims think–if Muslims are not allowed to subjugate us, they believe we are subjugating them. They have no concept whatsoever of living as equals with others.

He only maintained such “friendly” relations as long as they were useful to him–for instance, Ethiopian Christians gave him and his followers sanctuary early on.
While the Christians of Ethiopia have survived–although they suffer from a lot of Muslim violence–the Christians if Najran did not last for long.
The Caliph Umar–revered by all Muslims as a “Rightly-Guided Caliph”–expelled the largest group of them. A few seem to have survived in the region in scattered groups, but even this remnant was entirely wiped out by the 9th century.
This is what Ibrahim itace muhammed and his fellow Muslims have in store for us, if we do not resist.
Imagine if he really hated us? sarc/off
