Why is always the USA's responsiblity to Pay Bribles to the

[OHdem10]

Rogue Nations with Nuclear Bombs. Pretty soon it
will be time for N. Korea to pop up and demand assistance
for their country. And if we stay true to form they
will get it.

Right Now, why is it we have to tolerate Pakistan's
questionable behavior in which they appear to be playing
us???? It is not the War on Terror. Pakistan has
Nuclear Bombs and we are trying to keep a handle on
the situation. We can stick our chest out and say
cut of the aid(I call it bribes--paying for their
sometimes cooperation). The reality --they have Nuclear
Bombs.

This seems awfully "warped policy" . Can anyone shed
light n this.

1. The elite stick together like birds of a feather. They are not bound by nations.

Only the masses are.

2. We don't run Pakistan. We need their cooperation with some things.

I don't own the plumbing business over on Larpenteur Ave. I have a clogged toilet. They will come and fix it if I pay them.

Plumbing and Wars are shitty deals. Sometimes you have to pay someone to get things cleared out.

It is that simple.

3. B/c in the American tradition of diplomacy, words are rarely persuasive.

We offer money, products, bullets, or bombs to get what we want.

4. Is a Brible like a Brazillion?

10. I assumed The Brible is an ancient book of rules and stories

illustrating how to get things done in Congress.

5. If they were harboring bin Laden...

there's a high likelihood they could give the weapons to al-Qaeda members.

9. "Right Now, why is it we have to tolerate Pakistan's questionable behavior..."

What, you want to nuke them over this or something?

Let me turn it around. Why is it that the only way a country can be sure that they won't be invaded by the US getting nukes?

11. "Bribes" and "Foreign aid" have become pretty much the same thing. nt

12. It's similar to how Britain and France goaded us into "participating" in a war in Libya

and now are whining that we will not *lead* the aforementioned war. The American Superpower is dead, except when something of any substance "needs" to be done.
