There’s people already pumping this as some CIA move for backing Russia.

As if Pakistan was some stable government the past 60 years until a month ago.

the ether

Yeah, I've been hearing the news on this for several days. I've never really followed Pakistan very closely but when Khan was elected I didn't realize he was going to be as divisive a figure as he's been. Don't know enough to know if it's his fault or his opponents.

At the very least you know they're putting the battery in someone's back and at least throwing $ at the opps,

I don’t know.

I was reading something a few days ago about one of Khan’s head military guys disagreeing with being so close to Russia just because of lack of flexibility of being beholden to anyone.


Russia military looking flabby in front of the whole world probably didn’t help.

This happens to every administration, it’s par for the course

The military essentially paved the way for his win, but like every PM before him, he got into a disagreement with them and they’re letting the opposition kick him out (by giving their blessing to MPs leaving his party that they bought in the first place). They want their American military toys and Imran’s foreign policy stances are making that difficult.

I was surprised by that as well but I think it may be a requirement
