No surprise here. Pakistan and China are close. Realpolitik trumps Idealpolitik everywhere except for the US and EU. Are we seeing the end of globalism and the shining beacon of democracy paradigm? |

I am so glad the United States has never been into any nefarious acts such as being involved with trying to have a sway in another countries politics. 🤔 Regards Russ Dunaway |
