Pakistan is a sad tale. A country of 200 million+ with almost no future.
The elites are busy milking what’s left of the country before it flames out. The idiotic IMF continues giving them loans to support the extremely corrupt system..the US government also supports the extremely corrupt military.
This is what happens when corruption is built into the culture of your society and religious/tribal hullabaloo is more prioritized than economic and social development.

- boeingUH60 3y agoNo it doesn’t. Stop trying to patronize a country’s dire situation to push your false narrative.
- nurettin 3y agoTrying to wha? This is just too freakish of an accusation to respond to.

- jldugger 3y agoThere's just the small matter of the Himilayas dividing mainland China from Pakistani ports.
- 082349872349872 3y agoIf you wanted to build a cargo connection, the Himalayas would be a problem. If you only want to siphon off construction funds, the Himalayas provide an excellent excuse for any lack of progress.
- yumraj 3y ago> A country of 200 million+ with almost no future. It has great future, as China's vassal state.

- abdullahkhalids 3y agoCorruption is a symptom of Pakistan's deeper systematic problems, not the cause. Whole books have been written about this. Unless you define corruption = anything bad that someone with power does. It's also apparent that whenever democratic forces have been allowed to fix public systems in some small amount, corruption has gone down, or the system has become much more pleasant and efficient for the public to use.
