"Seven Pakistani paramilitary troops have been killed by militants in an attack on a checkpoint in the southwestern province of Balochistan, the military said Sunday. The event took place late Saturday night in the town of Harnai, around 170 kilometers (105 miles) east of the provincial capital, Quetta. The Pakistani military has been fighting a low-level insurgency for decades in the province, which borders Afghanistan and Iran. "During the intense exchange of fire, seven brave soldiers embraced shahadat [martyrdom] while repulsing raiding terrorists," the military said in a statement. "[The area] has been cordoned off; escape routes have been blocked."…" Main page link Amicalement Armand

Yep … another "stan" dominated by religious, tribal, ethic, warlord, mullah, etc., affiliations where hatred of all or anyone of those differences/characteristics causes bloodshed. With most still stuck in the 15th Century. And again we give these nations, millions if not billions. With little to no change to their hatreds and predilections for killing each other. That goes back decades upon decades or longer. You can't free a fish from water … |

And Congress just appropriated 10 million dollars of our tax money to Pakistan for "gender studies". I don't even know what that means but we shouldn't be giving them 10 million for anything right now as small businesses are going out of business all over our country. |

Yes, I saw that ! And there was more "pork" in the 5500+ pages of the COVID relief bill. I will not vote for any in the House or Senate next time. They pretty much all need to go! "Gender Studies" in a country like Pakistan ? Talk about a total waste of money ! Like many in the region, most of them are living in the 15th Century. I'd like to know who added that to the Bill! And how much of a kickback they were getting ?😠😡🤬 |
