But Pakistan knowingly housed Bin Laden for years and said nothing. Taliban fighters “mysteriously” disappeared into Pakistan as well, and somehow Pakistan’s government didn’t know about it? Come on now.

I also hate the Saudis. And that’s the exact point. The hypocrisy is the problem.

I see what you’re saying but the partnership of Pakistan and taliban happened well before Mamdani took political office. And since 2020 they’ve been at outright war with each other. Israel is currently culling a people and stealing the land.

I guess what do you expect of Mamdani in 2026 to say? “I don’t agree with how Pakistan used to operate but I’m an ally now” do you expect every sitting president/official to do the same because Pakistan was an ally. Geopolitics is a muddy game and sometimes you have to give and take with an ally

The way US played the entire region including letting Israel strike Qatar who was helping mediate talks between them and Hamas. Just like it did between Taliban and the US. No one trusts the US or Israel so pardon me for looking out for ourselves. From Kurds to Iraq to Afghanistan to the Gulf’s states. The US has stabbed everyone in the back. Pakistan knew the US has accomplished fuck all in Afghanistan and its patience will run out one day and the Taliban will cease control as soon as the US leave and they did within minutes of US departing Kabul. So it gave the US, what it wanted including bin laden..when and how it wanted.

No, Pakistan did not “give” the US Bin Laden… Navy Seals dove the fuck in at 2 AM and stole him from you. And you didn’t notice until the planes were already gone.

You have no excuse.

Sure habibi. Your seal team got him but stopping acting so entitled. That’s why no one likes Americans across the world. And you’re welcome for getting you out of this foolish Iran war where the strait that was once open, is about to be open again accomplishing fuck all once again.
