Biden admin reverses Trump's decision, approves USD 450 mn F-16 fleet sustainment programme to Pakistan

Reversing the decision of its predecessor, the Biden Administration has approved a whooping USD 450 million F-16 fighter jet fleet sustainment programme to Pakistan. As a notification to the US Congress, the State Department has made a determination approving a possible foreign military sale of F-16 case for sustainment and related equipment for an estimated cost of USD 450 million, arguing that this will sustain Islamabad's capability to meet current and future counterterrorism threats by maintaining its F-16 fleet. This is the first major security assistance to Pakistan after Trump in 2018 had announced to stop all defense and security assistance to Pakistan alleging that Islamabad was not a partner in its fight against terrorism.

“What I don’t know is, did anyone think it would be this bad?”

Probably not. I mean, I knew it would be a disaster; but this much, this quickly...that surprised even me.

Shakin my head.

I guess all that money the Chicoms gave to Hunter is paying off.

Xi’s got Biden taking care of his pals the Pakis.

Trump was making good inroads bringing India over to our side.

Biden is flushing that.

Now that the Afghanis are figuring out how to fly the Blackhawks that Biteme gave them, our Idiot-in-Chief needs to fund the Pakis to defend against the newly-armed Taliban.

Dumb does what dumb is. And vice-versa.

Pakistan is a fourth world nation.
They don’t have a fresh water delivery system. Pails filled from the river/stream/creek. That’s it folks!
It is backward and has been, forever. 1947 was the year of its founding and not much as improved since then.

Those camel drivers will be really successful driving those Vipers, for sure! The F-16s will be static displays, just like the F-14s were in Iran!!

Remember there is money that returns to the crooked Congress folks when a gift like this is sent to any foreign nation.

Is it me? Or is the US actually building the world’s largest Nuclear Islamic Military in the world? India is shaking their heads in disbelief…

Those Georgia officials should be executed for treason!

This will never happen, sadly, because THEY ARE ALL IN ON THE FIX!

The Pakastani Gov’t is full of Taliban snakes, top to bottom. But ‘the Big Guy’ has probably figured out a way to get his cut.

Just who is this character, “Soetero?” Is his first name Barry, by any chance?
A “effin crook, never should have been POTUS?

Yes, he would be involved in a deal like that.
He should be living the rest of his life in Leavenworth or hanged for treason.

What’s most surprising to me? Is the fact that he’s still there. I’m guessing they had no idea just how bad she is and now the puppet masters are stuck.

That would be him.

I do my best not to use his Hollywood name as he was nothing more than an actor and mouthpiece for really bad people that operated behind the scenes.

This kind of article, that I am reading on September 11, 2022, is very depressing.

Very sad to read this and to realize that all the people who are remembering the horrible tragic events of 2001 on this day, are completely wasting their time.

It is all for nought, because, in spite of what everyone says, NOT ONE THING was learned from 9/11/2020.

The stupidity and lies and self-delusion we indulge in go on.

We let muslims come in to our country, occasionally shoot up, behead, rape, or traffic our people, earn livings as professionals even, contribute to al Queda and other terrorist organizations, and now cross by the thousands unvetted and illegally, through our porous southern border, AS IF 9/11 NEVER HAPPENED.

What a waste of time and money and limbs and lives of servicemen.

What a huge transfer of money to scum like the Pakistanis, the Bushes, the Cheneys, the Bidens, and the billionaires who profiteered from the wars.

What a waste that guys like Milley rose to the top in the constant quagmire of the past 30 years in the Middle East. While the good and patriotic and normal officers and noncoms were forced out.

We haven't learned a single thing. We are still kissing Saudi and Pakistani ass and letting them subvert and undermine our culture and country. Let their Saudi flyer cadets come to Pensacola to train on our aircraft (one thing out of millions that they can not do on their own). Look the other way when they shoot our airmen and soldiers.

All of those poor amputees and PTSDd, concussed veterans. What a complete waste of money.

We haven't learned a thing. 9/11 may as well have never happened by the way things are now.

Yes Clinton did that. With they gave the ChiComs they were able to advance their missiles a decade in a matter of months

Well, I guess this is OK since Pakistan is such a great Christian and Jewish Ally nation and fully at peace with their neighbors.

And on the bright side..... 10% back to ‘the Big Guy’.

Since Pakistan destroyed US in Afghanistan, this is part of the reparation of the defeated to the victors. I guess?

With the three terms of Obama, there hasn’t been a war on terror. It’s been a war on America through empowerment of islam and the global Marxists hile weakening America in every respect.

Iran? Pakistan? China?

Now our enemies openly walk amongst us plotting our emise.

Ask Obama’s brethren, the Muslim brotherhood.
