*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistanâs PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part ð¬

The first edit of the Pakistan PM's post on X had "Draft Pakistan's PM Message on X"
This is complete BS.

Somebody just forgot to remove the header before pasting.

(13,036 posts)That's how someone outside of Pakistan might refer to him. Within the country, it would make no sense to mention which country's leader you were referring to.

(14,729 posts)The same as Vietnam won the war. They outlasted 100 years of Chinese, Japanese, French and American efforts to dominate them, and they did it with the same
outmatched weapons that the Iranians used - missals, rifles and improvised explosive devices.

(93,678 posts)Pakistan is a bankrupt country that relies on loans. Especially from the US when it comes to IMF loans.
They aren't going to mediate anything. They just do what Trump tells them to.

(1,271 posts)The sham negotiations were discussed by Ryan Grim and reposted on George Conway's twitter feed.
Not sure exactly how this was uncovered.
Unfortunately the cult will never get this message, and this sham will confirm to them the genius of Donald J Trump, President for Life.
My guess is that Trump was in a deep dark hole (we don't know the dimensions of this hole yet) and he, or his handlers, had to gin something up. Now they have a negotiation triumph, and he can demand a ticker-tape parade and an emergency Nobel prize. I wonder what Pakistan gets for this service - should be a substantial reward.

There has been speculation for years when, or if Pakistan might FLEX their Islamic controlled nuclear arsenal .
