I guess this is how Biden deals with political adversaries now.
The U.S. State Department encouraged the Pakistani government in a March 7, 2022, meeting to remove Imran Khan as prime minister over his neutrality on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to a classified Pakistani government document obtained by The Intercept.
His imprisonment has been widely viewed within Pakistan, including among many critics of his government, as
an attempt by the military to stop his party from contesting upcoming elections. Polls show that were he allowed to participate in the vote, Khan would likely win.https://theintercept.com/2023/08/09/imran-khan-pakistan-cypher-ukraine-russia/ Ahhh so the USA is at it again! Interfering and controlling everything from behind the scenes. Biden is making sure THAT long-standing tradition continues. Biden is such a traditional Zionist old guy. 😐
That's Uncle's job, dear. As the old boy says, colonialism ended far too soon.
From the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq to his disdain for - ahem - Labia, the old boy believes in full and total Western control.
Just not the Saudis, for some reason. He's rather shy about them, but do you know?
The article in the OP makes no reference to any Biden statements or policy pronouncements, just meetings with the State Department making idle threats:
Quote:Lu warned that if the situation wasn’t resolved, Pakistan would be marginalized by its Western allies. “I cannot tell how this will be seen by Europe but I suspect their reaction will be similar,” Lu said, adding that Khan could face “isolation” by Europe and the U.S. should he remain in office.
Imran Khan is appealing to Pakistani populism and popular sentiments for self determination.
Quote:“Are we your slaves?” Khan thundered to the crowd. “What do you think of us? That we are your slaves and that we will do whatever you ask of us?” he asked. “We are friends of Russia, and we are also friends of the United States. We are friends of China and Europe. We are not part of any alliance.”
This works well with the Pakistani base. It is, however, a complete anathema to every bone in the old boy's corpse. Their slaves? He says. Of course they're our slaves. They're
tinted.
The old boy wants to have it both ways - a jolly chuckle over Biden's alleged subcontinental meddling and a right old hissy over Muselmen behaving badly.
In truth, there was no Biden policy to remove Imran Khan as PM, and there is no "Islam" in the generals' dirty politics.
You can blame Biden and Islam all you like. The old boy seems to have forgotten who he blames.
You?
