Walls are only racist when Trump wants to build them.
“Pakistan military: Fence bordering Afghanistan nearly done,” by Munir Ahmed, Associated Press, January 11, 2021:
ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s military said Monday it has nearly completed a fence along the border with Afghanistan, which Islamabad says is necessary to prevent militant attacks from both sides.
Maj. Gen. Babar Iftikhar, spokesman for Pakistan’s armed forces, said more than 83% of the fence along the 2,611-kilometer (1,622-mile) border with Afghanistan — known as the Durand Line — has been completed.
The remaining work at the country’s western border was expected to be completed by the middle of the year, he told a televised news conference in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.
Pakistan says it is erecting the fence to stop the movement of Pakistani Taliban, remnants of al-Qaida, and other foreign militants who prior to the fence’s construction could easily launch cross-border attacks on both sides. It was easier for militants to return to Afghanistan after launching attacks inside Pakistan, Pakistani officials say….
Clive Delmonte says
Walls have a chequered history. The Great Wall did not keep out the Mongols. Hadrian’s Wall was of marginal use after the Empire collapsed.
Pakistan’s problem is likely to lie inside the heads of the security forces.
TruthSeeker says
What about the Afghan Taliban that is raised and fed on the Pakistani side to wreak havoc on the other side. Are the Pakis going to selectively open a gate to let them in/out for conducting attacks on Afghan soil. Besides the Durand line that separates Pakistan and Afghanistan is a random line drawn through the land of the Pashtuns by the British for 99 years. It has expired and no longer valid. Afghanis never considered the Durand line to be valid. So Pakistan is technically occupying another country and is building a structure on it. Pakistan is like a thief that builds a fence to protect stolen land.

Well that’s the funniest thing I’ve read all day. So exactly whose Muslim fanatics are being kept out of whose fanatic Muslim country?
Infidel says
That’s precisely what struck me! You couldn’t have said it better!
Van Hee says
I was gonna say the exact same thing

2 sides of the same coin.
Jesper says
Exactly. Makes no sense whatsoever.

“on Afghanistan border to keep out [non-Paki] jihadis is nearly complete”
The Pakis must be really high on protectionism. Such a wall keeps the Paki market for jihad exclusively for the Paki jihad practitioners.
Paul Weber says
I’ll believe it only after I see it. Where are the pictures and video supporting this claim?
mortimer says
Ah … those ‘RACIST’ Pakistanis who want to divide the jihadic tribes that live on both sides of the border.
The government of Pakistan pays LIP SERVICE to jihad while actively suppressing it.
Check Burry says
Allegedly.
Rishi Sarin says
pakistan is a VILE JIHADI SHITHOLE that needs to be quarantined from the rest of the world….
In Pakistan, People Protest For Theocratic Islamic Fascism,. Not Against It..
In Pakistan,….you see mobs of Culturally Backward, Uneducated & obviously Inbred groups of people killing Not only Non-Muslims (…Christians, Hindus, Sikhs..),…But even some sects of Muslims (Ahamadis, Shias, Hazaras etc..) who are not Sunni Wahabis,….without shame (of course to the average Pakistani shame is for the women).
You see blood thirsty mass mobs shutting down cities because they want Islamic law to reign supreme and they are prepared to kill for it.
I think Christopher Hitchens said it best when he personified Pakistan as an anti-Semite, woman hating man that is backward and without humour.
You see the effects of pakistan’s Vile, Jihadi Culture & backwardness when you see the millions of illiterate, inbred pakis who have emigrated to countries like Britain, Sweden…etc…who maintain their cultural backwardness & inbreeding despite living in the West for decades..
pakistan is the worst of the muslim world & that’s saying something.

Iranian missile display in Tehran
Reuters
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard on Saturday conducted a drill launching anti-warship ballistic missiles at a simulated target in the Indian Ocean, reports The Associated Press.
Footage showed two missiles smashing into a target that Iranian state television described as “hypothetical hostile enemy ships” at a distance of 1,800 kilometers (1,120 miles). The report did not specify the type of missiles used.
In the first phase of the drill on Friday, the Guard’s aerospace division launched surface-to-surface ballistic missiles and drones against “hypothetical enemy bases.”
Footage also showed four unmanned, triangle-shaped drones flying in a tight formation, smashing into targets and exploding.
The drill comes amid tensions between the US and Iran in US President Donald Trumo’s final days in office. Trump recently made clear that he would hold “Iran responsible” for any fatal attack on Americans in Iraq.
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, later warned Trump against any “adventurism” before leaving the White House.
The US military later flew nuclear-capable B-52 bombers to the Middle East in a move meant “to underscore the US military’s commitment to regional security and demonstrate a unique ability to rapidly deploy overwhelming combat power on short notice.”
Later, Gen. Hossein Salami, the top commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, said his country is fully prepared to respond to any US military pressure.
Iran has increased its military drills in recent weeks as the country tries to pressure President-elect Joe Biden over the 2015 nuclear deal, from which Trump withdrew in 2018. Biden has indicated the US could reenter the deal, which was negotiated when he was Vice President under the Obama administration.
We do not Negotiate with terrorists Mullahs….. You Mullahs need pack and go ? When 70 percent of Iranian become christians you will know why ?

See WALLS do work! Our leaders know they work because they build them around themselves to keep us out. They also know that guns work, they are always protected by armed security forces but want us to be unprotected. They want diversity and open borders for our neighborhoods but not theirs. Who’s side are they on? Many of our elected officials are not representing us, they are representing their wallets. Sadly no one in political office will be prosecuted or convicted for the fraud and corruption. Look at the 40 million they blew on the Muller investigation, that was a total fraud of the American tax payer. The only ones who benefited from that fraud were the Attorneys who made hundreds of dollars an hour on something they knew was a sham. How do we the tax payer ever get our money back? Will Mrs. Clinton ever be charged for perpetrating this fraud of the tax payers? Or how about the slime ball congresspersons that swore they had evidence and proof of the Russian involvement in our election of 2016?
