If they weren't authoritarian sh!theads, or authoritarian sh!theads wouldn't support them.

Our foreign policy consists of little more than subverting democracy and propping up US business friendly authoritarians.

Also, I haven't forgotten when the NYTimes reporters asked the literal Nazis to remove their Nazi uniform patches before they took photos for war propaganda.

In Feb this year, US think-tank CSIS wrote in report on Pakistan economy "regardless of who leads the govt the country must" .. make changes including "privatising inefficient state owner enterprises". And gee, in Sept "Major oil and gas reserve found in Pakistan waters", possibly "worlds fourth largest".

Pakistan has a lot of wealth in public ownership, incl energy distribution. Little wonder the privatization vultures including US are hovering around playing their mind games to secure the $$ killing. "Follow the money" should be essential in all news reports.
