Common sense. Yet it eluded foreign policy “experts” for nearly two decades.
“Trump Stopped Providing Military Aid To Pakistan As It Harbours Terrorists: Nikki Haley,” ANI, Updated: October 25, 2020 (thanks to Lookmann):
President Donald Trump has stopped providing “billion dollars” in military aid to Pakistan as it harbours terrorists who were trying to kill American soldiers, said Indian-American Republican politician Nikki Haley on Saturday.
Speaking during an event organised by the Indian Voices for Trump in the battleground state of Philadelphia, Haley praised Trump’s foreign policies.
The two-term governor of South Carolina, Haley was the first Cabinet-ranking Indian-American in any presidential administration. She is now campaigning for Trump ahead of the US election.
“We were giving a billion dollars in military aid to Pakistan, who was turning around harbouring terrorists, that are trying to kill our American soldiers. We do not give that billion dollars,” the former US envoy to the United Nations said….
Check Burry says
End aid, full stop.
UVG says
Second that. If possible please make this a necessary dictat for the next decade.
India will be doubly grateful.
David Grisez says
This good that President Donald Trump ended a billion dollars a year in aid to Pakistan because it harbors terrorists who kill American soldiers. Donald Trump also ended aid to Iran and put sanctions on Iran. I sure hope Joe Biden does not become president, because he would reverse these policies of President Trump and give lots of money to both Pakistan and Iran.
MaineSkin says
It’s pretty scary the herd this left has built to make them simply reject the idea of not giving aid to countries that prey for the fall of the west. So much so it’s hard for me to envision my young kids living in an America that is whole. It’s pretty sad.
Gary says
I think its hilarious that article calls Philadelphia a state
abad says
End all foreign aid to all Moslem majority nations including Saudi Arabia.
Sylvia Drummond says
With all the worthwhile causes that exist, why on God’s earth would the US give a billion dollars in military aid to Pakistan? The sooner they are overrun and blown to pieces the better. I imagine Sleepy Joe would continue this suicidal donation.
Keith O says
Sylvia, Sleepy Joe wouldn’t continue this donation. He would increase it!!!
LB says
Exactly that. I still remember when Obama, ON THE VERY LAST DAY OF HIS PRESIDENCY sent billions of dollars in cash by plains to Iran. He knew Trump would cut off the money so he sent as much as he could in a last ditch effort to further bankrupt the USA. Talk about treason… I don’t know how he is still a free man after 8 years of racking up the biggest debt than all presidents before him combined.
James Lincoln says
LB,
Not only a free man, but the owner of a huge estate in Martha’s Vineyard worth $12 million…
Lynette says
corruption from his friends and his muslim friends!
Phil Copson says
Make much more sense to give it to India to help them contain Pakistan and China.
golem3 says
Time to boycott all things China. Turkey and Pakistan
Walter Sieruk says
This is further proof of the good judgement and wisdom of President Trump which is in standinding contrast to he feeble minded Joe Biden who ,if President , would weakly allow himself to be controlled and manipulated by the stealth jihadists who would be in his administration and the foreign jihadist/Muslim in Islamic countries as Pakistan and especially Iran. Which does support Biden for President .

Perspective of an Indian American on Trump ?
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN
Leonard William QC.

There is no doubt that Trump is a BUFFOON !! I am sure you all will agree! However !! read this:
The buffoon in the White House just brokered two Middle East Peace Accords, something that 71 years of political intervention and endless war failed to produce.
The buffoon in the White House is the first president that has not engaged us in a foreign war since Eisenhower.
The buffoon in the White House has had the greatest impact on the economy, bringing jobs, and lowering unemployment to the Black and Latino population of ANY other president. Ever.
The buffoon in the White House has exposed the deep, widespread, and long-standing corruption in the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the Republican and Democratic parties.
The buffoon in the White House turned NATO around and had them start paying their dues.
The buffoon in the White House neutralized the North Koreans, stopped them from developing a further nuclear capability, sending missiles toward Japan, and threatening the West Coast of the US.
The Buffoon in the White House turned our relationship to the Chinese around, brought hundreds of business back to the US, and revived the economy. Hello.
The buffoon in the White House has accomplished the appointing of two Supreme Court Justices and close to 300 Federal Judges.
The buffoon in the White House lowered your taxes and caused your stock market to move to record levels over 100 times, positively impacting the retirements of tens of millions of citizens.
The buffoon in the White House fast-tracked the development of a COVID Vaccine – it will be available within weeks – we still don’t have a vaccine for SARS, Bird Flu, Ebola, or a host of diseases that arose during previous administrations.
The buffoon in the White House rebuilt our military which the Obama administration had crippled and had fired 214 key generals and admirals in his first year of office.
The buffoon in the White House uncovered widespread paedophilia in the government and in Hollywood. the buffoon in the White House is exposing worldwide sex trafficking of minors and bringing children home to their families.
The buffoon in the White House. Works for free and has lost well over 2 billion dollars of his own money in serving – and done all of this and much more in the face of relentless undermining and opposition from people who are threatened because they know they are going to be exposed as the criminals that they are if he is re-elected.
I got it, you don’t like him. How special of you. He is serving you and ALL the American people. What are you doing besides calling him names and laughing about him catching the China virus.
74 years old.
A billionaire.
Doesn’t need a cent.
Could be on a beach anywhere in the world.
Has worked his whole life.
Raised children who have work ethics out of this world.
Possibly the most hated man in America right now.
Diagnosed with covid.
Still showing up.
Have you ever wondered if you were 74 years old, a billionaire, and diagnosed with covid, if you would still be showing up, fighting for a country where millions of the citizens hated you?
And if the opposition get into the White House, any US support for Australia against the threats from China will be gone, and then we will find out what being alone will be like.
James Lincoln says
infidel,
According to Hillary Clinton, I am contained in the “Basket of Deplorables” – and I have proudly cast my vote for the “Buffoon in the White House” Pres. Donald J. Trump.
Admittedly he can, at times be:
1. Crude
2. Rude
3. Offensive
4. Loud
Absolutely NONE of this bothers me. Because, to your post, he is extremely E F F E C T I V E.
And he wants a better life for all Americans, even the ones who absolutely hate him.
If there has been a better US President since Abraham Lincoln, I cannot think of one.
Trump / Pence 2020 ! ! !
Lauren Hermann says
Amen, Infidel and James!
I don’t consider myself a genius in any subject, much less in politics. But some aspects of what’s going on in the world today, have such obvious consequences. Why the majority of Americans don’t seem to think anything is wrong with the direction in which we were going (before Trump), baffles me.
In 2008, I voted for Obama, not because he was a person of color, but for a reason I’m sure no one else had: he had experience with Islam and muslims all through his life. This led me to believe he could, with this experience and knowledge, deal with them far better than other politicians. But never, NEVER in my worst nightmares did I think he would take their side, which is exactly what he did! Removing all text using the terms “jihadists, islamic or muslim terrorists”, etc. in the CIA, FBI, and NSA training manuals; bowing in submission to the Saudi King; politically throwing Israel under the bus. I could go on, but you get the idea.
So today we are faced with one of the most important decisions in the history of the United States–whether or not our western civilization is going to survive. My husband and I are retired and living in Europe for the last 16 years. I am the descendant of at least 4 colonists who fought along side George Washington in the American Revolution. I could be a member of the DAR. I know that Americans have mixed feelings about western Europe, but we have another perspective, which makes me want to scream at the Trump-haters, ” You anal pores are freaking idiots! You are clueless and will get what you deserve!” Alas, I feel that my last words to these bumbling imbeciles will be, “I told you so!”

Your “bufoom” seems to be a world HERO, unsung, un heralded, willified, carricatured, same as India’s very own Hero Modi, except for Dollar billions, marriage, children….. It seems the same set of sick, embedded left liberal, communists, along with Muslimes, jihadie’s, Islamists,hell bent on destroying civilised world, are opposing both. Vigilant hard, sustained pushback at all levels is required. French seem to have commenced this pushback…..hope they sustain it ….and the civilied world follows suit.

We should re-evaluate all foreign aid, our government is giving away our tax dollars that could be used to help our own people in need and rebuild our infrastructure not some other countries.
