President Trump tweeted in January: “The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!”
For years I’ve been calling for an end to aid to Pakistan and a reconfiguration of our international alliances to reflect the reality of the global jihad. At last there is some movement in that direction.
“US suspends military training program for Pakistan,” Anadolu Agency, August 12, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
The United States has started cutting scores of Pakistani military officers from the education and training program, Pakistani media reported on Aug. 11.
The U.S. military institutions are “struggling” to fill the 66 slots, which they had kept aside for Pakistani officers, for next academic year, the daily Dawn quoted anonymous sources as saying.
The move comes a few days after Pakistan and Russia signed an agreement to allow Pakistani military officers to receive training in Russian military institutions.
“The fund for training Pakistani officers came from the U.S. government’s International Military Education and Training Program (IMET) but no funds were made available for Pakistan for the next academic year,” the daily reported.
Pakistani officers have been receiving military training and education in the U.S. since early 1960s, which were suspended in the 1990s. However, the U.S. government restored the program after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The U.S. State Department also confirmed the suspension of Pakistan’s participation in the training programs.
“So far, Pakistan’s participation in 97 training programs total valued at $3.29M has been cancelled, to include 66 IMET courses worth $2.41 million, 25 CTFP courses worth $37,000,” the State Department said in a statement.
However, it stressed that the U.S. “continues to provide civilian assistance to Pakistan in line with U.S. national interests.”…
On Jan. 1, Trump in a tweet accused Pakistan of playing a “double game” and providing sanctuaries to Taliban factions fighting American troops in neighboring Afghanistan. The tweet was followed by an aid cut which escalated tension between the allies in the U.S.-led war on terror.
Pakistan denies the charge saying it has already done “a lot” in war against terrorism, and will continue to do that but only in its own interest….

Finally, a President with some common sense, I’m personally tired of appeasing malcontents of all shapes and flavors!
Westman says
Pakistan hid Bin Laden. All assistance to Pakistan should have stopped after he was killed. Pakistan is not an ally; let the Russians subsidize Pakistan which, under Islam, will never produce as much as it takes.
Hari Singh says
The USA refused to use intelligence from India sources saying that Bin Laden lived close to the Pakistan Military College aka Jihad University. the refused because they dind’t want to hurt their relations with Pakistan and a pro-Islam President B.Hussein Obama

It is never too late to mend.President TRUMP has made the right decision to cut Aid to Pakistan. Being a Muslim country,what else could one expect from the’LAND OF THE PURE’ except ‘PURE DECEPTION’?

Watch for some Obama appointed California district court judge overruling Trump’s rational decision.
Peter K. says
India is a natural ally for the U.S. Pakistan, which actively supports Jihad against non-Muslims (and has engaged in Hindu genocide), is an enemy state. Have doubts? Read the Pak army website list of its core values, one of which is jihad fi sabil allah, and review the slaughter of Hindus in East Pakistan.
U.S. policy should be to “divide and fragment” the Muslim world, advocating for the self-determination of Kurds, Baluchis, Pashtuns, etc. Islam is the third head of the totalitarian monster, and needs to be dealt with as such.

Payment strictly per results! Each verified Taliban death gets $100,000 bucks. Taliban leaders, up to $500,000 thousand. That should be incentive enough. Thieving, lying clowns!

The mandate for generosity cant go this far. This is too many generations of failure.

National interests?
That is the real elephant in the room — the USA is run by traitors! Greedy and venal traitors. History will show that in the need of ‘national interests’ the USA and Europe sold out and lost the prize of civilization itself for centuries to the absurdity, childishly impulsive, lies, and false hogwash of Islam. ‘Where the world grovels in servitude to Islamic thuggery , coercion, and terror — most Muslims of whom feel an additional racist hostility to the Western Whites for those years of crusades and colonization that slowed their imperative of Islamic domination.
The Pakis’ are strictly a country founded upon Islam’s ugliest aspects, and the violence it insists upon — their nukes will certainly play out as far more a threat than the N. Koreans could ever have been.
In fact, already with Khan’s patriotism to Mohammed, such proliferation of them is already spread across all Muslim countries even Iran; and as anybody with a brain knows are effectively part of the future caliphate already — just look at the dominant provision in all their constitutions: Islam. If a country deserves a first strike because of its dangerous potential, it is Pakistan.

Pakistan has to change its educational system and ban most of the madrassahs which are factories for sodomy and Bronze-Age backwardness.

The only sane thing to do. All else was foolish strategy on America’s dime. Muslims were laughing all the way and still are in so many other military, economic, and political arrangements such as aid to “Palestinians.”

When is the US going to demand the release of the doctor who told us where bin Laden was? Pakistan put him in prison for telling us. That should have been a wakeup call about the fact that Pakistan isn’t on our side.

ibrahim itace muhammed says
It is now revealing that armed robber evil United States is becoming more and more hostile to all Muslim nations, whether radicals or moderates. Idiot Arab monarchs, especially evil saudi monarchs, who are now worshiping evil United States by stealing their county’s wealths and stash them in the economy of evil United States, will have their turn sooner or later as evil United States used and dumped tyrant shah. But since Americans are fools, they believe that muslims have no alternative friends, but must worship this entity by surrending billions of dollars to be supplied with obsolete weapons to fight each other.muslims are wiser than what savage mithraist christian Americans could imagine. typical example is Turkey who have been in alliance with evil United States for centuries, but when evil United States realised that Turkish economy is fastly growing ,it staged a plot to topple Erdorgan to reverse the economic growth and refused to sell needed weapons to Turkey. Then Turkey have to look inward and is now manufacturing those needed and turning to Russia and China who are more reliable allies. Pakistan has already abandoned evil United States.

To Ibrahim itace mohamad
Is it not telling that the great Islamic countries rely on the west for their technology, including not only their military hardware but also military training? Muslims have been doing this for 1400 years ever since they stole ships from the Christians. Why? Because Islam is a culture of theft, rape and pillage, Islam builds nothing, produces nothing. It has been so for 1400 years and continues to be so. Islam is a culture of failure and aggression and suppression. Islam would be bankrupt of not for the threat that people who leave Islam shall be murdered. No Free people will ever stand for your sick culture and so called religion.

Ibrahim,
I have some suggestions for self-improvement:
Take a course in English grammar.
Use a spellchecker on your postings.
Use evidence-based logic in your postings. Specific references would help.
Really try not to overuse the word “evil”.
Your postings also suggest that you are angry and unhappy. This is at least partly due to your Islamic faith. You would undoubtedly feel a lot better if you left this religion entirely. At the very least, try it for a month and see how you feel. What do you have to lose?
FYI says
The muslim troll also needs to study …..his own koran {and the hadiths}.He doesn’t seem to know it.
His endless rantings about the “mithraist” Bible are nonsensical when it is realized that it is allah himself who claims to be the author of.. the Torah{which is part of the …….”mithraist” Bible}
“And verily WE sent Moses with OUR revelations and a clear warrant”
koran 11:96
“And verily WE gave unto Moses the scripture”
koran 2:87
That “scripture” allah is talking about?That would be the Hebrew Bible,the Torah.
{Or the Old Testament to christians:in any case,part of the Bible}
The muslim troll calls it “the mithraist Bible”…which allah claims to be the author of.
In koran 10:94 allah tells muhammed ,if in doubt,to read “the scripture that was before”.
Yes:that would be that “mithraist” Bible that the troll keeps talking about which he imagines comes from satan:since allah claims to be the one who gave this “mithraist” Bible to the Jews….that would mean the troll is accusing his god allah of being satan every time he attacks the “mithraist” Bible.
Logic and Reason:not the forte of allah and his muslims are they?
Perhaps the muslim troll should stop listening to that talking dove that he imagines is speaking to him….
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
James Lincoln, to me substance(message)is more important than the form(language).once you can get my points, I think it is OK. Remember, I’m not a native English speaker, my mother tongue is Arabic. I am sure you cannot use Arabic to argue an issue as I can use English to do. A fool!!
James Lincoln says
Ibrahim,
I was not aware that you were not fluent in English, I stand corrected.
I have reviewed a large number of your postings. There is no question that you are very unhappy and angry. There are, however, some things that you could do to help yourself:
Get some medical help. I would say that you suffer from anxiety / depression. Counseling for anger management could also help as well as possibly anxiolytics and antidepressants.
Islam can definitely feed the anger component of your problem. Recommend that you take a break from this religion for a period of time to regroup your thoughts. You certainly have a right to do this. Non-participation in organized religion should always be an option in a civilized society. For safety reasons, I would recommend that you do not tell any of your Muslim friends about this.
See how you feel after a period of time with proper medical help and a break from Islam. You owe it to yourself to give it a try. You may just lose the anger, anxiety, and depression and be ready to fully enjoy a joyous life.
If not, you can always go back to Islam and feel just the way you’re feeling now: angry, anxious, and depressed.
Good luck and I wish you the best.
ibrahim itace muhammed says
James Lincoln, Islam is the source of comfort and satisfaction because it is rational unlike your filthy mithraist pagan christianity where one-eyed Satan god you call Holy Spirit appears to you in a horrifying image. when a Muslim has been able to experience Allah’s presence, he will feel comfortable all the times, no image. You cannot get that because your heart is corrupted due to contact with Satan who have anus sex with you while you are busy fucking your horrible bad smelly lady. scums of horrible bad smells!!

Hello fellow Jihad Watch readers,
From his last posting, it is obvious to me, at this point, that Ibrahim is unfortunately a lost cause.

That is because he knows that it is not easy to fool Russians and Chinese and they are not going to give pakis anything in return for nothing . For decades Pakistan successfully milked successive American Presidents . No more ,we have a pragmatic president and he knows it is not easy to deceive him . God bless America and God bless trump . You are going down Pakistan along with your Islam
Guy Forester says
Finally, some common sense. No doubt Pakistan will try to move closer to China and Russia for military support. That will be a short lived romance as neither of those two have much use for more holy warriors attacking them.
What is interesting is how India, once strongly associated with Russia/USSR has moved slowly towards the West and Israel.
Indiana Tom says
Wait until Pakistan floats jihad in China and Russia.
India knows where the money market economy is, and it ain’t Russia.
ibrahim itace muhammed says
Guy Forester, you are not current with Indian foreign policy .They have realised that total submission to hegemonic armed robber evil United States and fascist evil Zionist State of Israel will be suicidal to their growing economy. Hence, they are now shifting to their neighbours in Asia and Turkey as you can see their rejection of savage mad devil Trump’s sanctions on Iran whose oil they import abundance to boost their economy.

Muslim apologists like their leftist allies have no real arguments. Why? They don’t think. They have misanthropic beliefs. When they sense resistance to their position that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter, their response is insults, expletives and ad hominem fallacy attack, e. g., you f*cking racist! The only point in engaging with them is to challenge disinterested others who can use logic and reason.
Indiana Tom says
Overdue on many levels.

Excellent decisionif not rescinded. Next we need to buttress the Indians especially in Kashmir. My statements & yours are the reasons Muslims want to criminalize our speech against them.

Asia Bibi, an innocent Christian woman in Pakistan was unjustly sentenced to death more than eight years ago after false charges of blasphemy were made against her (a common hazard for Pakistani Christians). She has been appealing her sentence all this time, but is poorly treated and fed in prison, separated from her children and husband, and at risk of being murdered by a zealot. I keep hoping Trump will apply economic pressure for her release.
