President Trump blasted Pakistan in his first tweet of 2018, saying its leaders have given the U.S. “nothing by lies & deceit.”
“The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools,” he said Monday morning.
“They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!” he added.
The New York Times reported late last week that the Trump administration might withhold $225 million in aid over frustration with Pakistan's handling of terror networks.
Administration officials told the newspaper that a final decision is expected in the next few weeks.
U.S. officials have long accused Pakistan of being slow to stamp out terrorist groups within its borders.
In August, Trump unveiled a new U.S. strategy for the war in Afghanistan aimed at defeating the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani Network, an affiliated group that operates in Pakistan.
Trump said then that Pakistan "gives safe haven to agents of chaos, violence and terror." He also vowed the administration would be tougher on the country.
In July, the Pentagon withheld $50 million in funding for Pakistan after Defense Secretary James Mattis told Congress he would not certify that the country has done enough to fight the Haqqani Network.

The “war” in Afghanistan, a 21st Century Vietnam, was never fought to win and and the way Pakistan has behaved is also in the picture.
Pakistan arrested the dentist who helped this country kill Osama Bin Laden, that should tell us something.
The nuts run that country and anyone who isn’t a nut gets wiped out like Benazir Bhutto did.
He's right. Our leaders then were fools.
But even worse, traitors.
I do indeed.
well, alrighty then
2 billion a year of my money!
...
There is almost no accountability attached to this money. I wouldn’t be surprised if a good portion of it ended up in the pockets of American cronies.
This might help understand Obama’s Pakistan connection, his time at Columbia University where other students do not remember him attending classes........ And why at the Chantilly VA Marriott meeting during the 2008 Dem primary, Obama was selected for president rather than Hillary.
The CIA deep state fighting Trump is much deeper than most realize....
Conspiracy Alert... Please Read with a Grain of Salt
(The following very interesting article is referenced below)
Title: The Ford Foundation is not what you think
San Francisco attorney and investment banker Horace Rowan Gaither sculpted the foundation charter, and he also created the CIA-connected Rand Corporation, Hollywood’s answer to the England’s Tavistock Institute. Gaither put John J. McCloy in charge of the foundation, and McCloy handed the job to Richard Bissell, who passed it off to Bonesman McGeorge Bundy. Before the arrival of Cheney and Rumsfeld, McCloy and Bundy were Washington’s most dynamic duo. Funny story about Bissell: he attended Yale but rejected the offer to become a Bonesman. It was Bissell who came up with the idea of hiring the Sicilian Men-of-Honor to assassinate Fidel Castro, a hit team that later diverted to kill JFK, and he and Dulles initiated this plan by holding a private meeting with Chicago Godfather Sam Giancana.
You’ll find the dirtiest players in the world of intel circling around Bissell, a list that included W.A. Harriman, Allen Dulles, James Angleton, Tracy Barnes, Cord Meyer, E. Howard Hunt, and Lee Harvey Oswald’s handler, David Atlee Philips. From the Bay of Pigs to the coup in Guatemala, you’ll find Bissell and his go-to team in charge.
Gaither also put his relative Peter in charge of the Asian accounts. Peter’s son had the most amazing trajectory, from Dartmouth, to Kissinger Associates, to Council on Foreign Relations, to President of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York by age 42.
A Congressional investigation in 1976 revealed half the Foundation’s international grants were actually being funded by the CIA as the foundation very quickly morphed into the primary propaganda tool of the CIA, and its staff peppered with spooks, especially staff posted overseas.
Ann Dunham (Barack Obama’s mother) worked for the Ford Foundation in Jakarta and also received funding from the World Bank. In 1965, her second husband, Lolo Soetoro, assisted the CIA coup against President Sukarno that resulted in the savage massacre of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians suspected of being communist sympathizers. Rockefeller feared his oil operations in Indonesia might be nationalized, so a holocaust was arranged to prevent it.
Peter Gaither supervised Ann Dunham’s Ford Foundation microfinance programs. Isn’t it somewhat odd that their offspring would rise to the tippy-top of the pyramid and at such young ages?
Allen Hulton, a retired postal worker, gave a sworn affidavit to Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio concerning Thomas and Mary Ayers, whose home in Glen Ellyn, IL, was on his daily postal route. Hulton had many conversations with Mary over the years and learned the couple was helping sponsor a foreign student from Indonesia into Harvard. A few days later, Hulton met the young lad.
“He was very polite, dressed nicely, but informally, slacks and a dress shirt, and spoke with no accent. Immediately this young black man entered into conversation with me. He told me he had taken the train out from Chicago and had come to thank the Ayers family personally for having helped him with his education.”
Hulton asked the man about future plans and he “told me he was going to be president of the United States. There was a little bit of a grin on his face when he said it. He sounded sure of himself, but not arrogant. I know how people will say things because they have an ambition, but it did not come across that way. It came across as if this young black male was telling me he was going to be president, almost as if it were the statement of a scientific fact that had already been determined, as if his being president had been already prearranged.”
Imagine Hulton’s surprise when the young man, who he identifies as Barack Obama, fulfilled his dream.
Maybe you’re wondering what happened to the Ayers’ offspring, and if their child had such a remarkable trajectory as well. Yes, he did. Their son Bill became the FBI’s most wanted terrorist after founding the Weather Underground and instigating several deadly bombings. Ayers and his compatriot Bernadette Dohrn were responsible for destroying the student youth movement by driving it off a cliff, something the CIA was certainly interested in having happen. And afterwards, these two terrorists would be rehabilitated as “anti-war activists” and given cushy professorships in Chicago. The rank and file of their tatty organization suffered great privation during their years of operation, but Ayers and Dohrn were known to have always eaten well and slept between sheets, while sipping expensive wines.
Maybe you can put the rest of the pieces of this puzzle together? Maybe you know now why Obama’s resume is so closed from public scrutiny. I think it’s great we have a president of color, but don’t kid yourself: our elections are completely rigged by big business and the CIA and they always will be until the entire system is given an overhaul.

33 billion..
WHY !?!?
you could have rebuilt nearly every small to medium size town in America with that kind of money!
Besides, they can always make a few bucks selling nuke secrets.
"People who knew Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro well say they see her influence in her son, Barack Obama. ... married an Indonesian, moved to Jakarta, became an anthropologist, wrote an 800-page dissertation on peasant blacksmithing in Java, worked for the Ford Foundation, championed women's work ..."

Ol' Herbie Marcuse & Co. must be laughing their arses off at the culture of fools they manufactured, milked, and subverted for an easy slaughter.
Got 200 years Together?
Maybe even reduce the deficit?
Or China’s money we borrowed..
Honestly, we should not be paying off other countries with borrowed money.
According to Obama, its “Pock-e-ston”.

Ask Comrade President Carter how he and Zbig pulled a magic cyclonic rabbit out of their arse - when they instigated and funded the Islamic Revolution of 1979.
Hard to believe we actually have a President who wakes up at 7 am on New Year’s Day thinking about how to stop our country from getting screwed over by Pakistan.
No President dared to talk about Pakistan like this.
Bush 43 was afraid to get Bin Laden. He was stymied by Pakistan
How so? Please tell us more.
Pakistan not only gives the terrorists shelter, but in many cases, is also funding and even directing their operations, thru their corrupt ISI agency. Remember, Osama bin Laden was found living comfortably right next to their headquarters!
Pakistan has fooled many Western countries over the last 20 years, so this is reckoning is long overdue. A lot of Western countries have paid a heavy price in blood because of Pakistan’s duplicity in Afghanistan.
Cut these bastards off. What a great way to start a New Year!
