A friend of mine once had the task of training Saudi fighter pilots. The Saudi pilots witnessed an American pilot showing off a dangerous maneuver, flying towards the ground then pulling up at the last possible moment. The Saudi pilots were forbidden from attempting this stunt. Sure enough, a Saudi pilot crashed into the ground trying to duplicate the American’s action. The next day another Saudi pilot did the same thing. Then another. It something about the mindset.
Pakistanis are not Arabs and their pilots are pretty well respected.
They just cannot allow somebody else to be better then they are at anything.
It’s why they try and destroy other cultures then learn from them.

Then let’s convince them it’s macho to teach their kids that war never solves anything, that no culture is any better than any other, that what’s true for you isn’t what’s true for me, that there is no God but Gaia, that they did GREAT regardless of how they actually did, that Maxine Waters may be a fool but we must all pretend she is not because of the color of her skin, and that they can borrow their way to prosperity. Perhaps they will then self-destruct just like we have.
I heard of French pilots pulling a similar stunt on Libyans in the Alp mountains during a test run of the planes they were selling them.
