      That “glorified street gangs and tribals” is a nice touch. Reminiscent of Trotsky’s “Stalin was an Asiatic barbarian.”

      What is it with libs and cloaking blatant racism in leftist-sounding terminology?

    Cool thing to note is that the most important reason why India-Pakistan partition was supported by British is that Nehru was not gonna allow foreign military bases on Indian soil. Pakistan creation helped bolster first the British and then the American military presence to contain USSR. This is why America continues to have such an influence in Pakistan.

    Now this Pakistani dude is coming over to his masters and asking them why the ones trying to overthrow the yoke are such savages.

    “Greetings, I am from Pakistan and I’m just letting all of you know that their people 100% approve of US intervention in their country. I mean, my country. Any socialist uprisings you hear about over there are just violent thugs, just like Stalin, don’t you hate that guy? I heard he ate a baby once, for breakfast every morning! What an evil guy! Anyway, if you hear anything about Pakistani people organising behind a socialist party, it’s because they’re being tricked by thugs, not because they are trying to deal with a US backed coup. I know this because I am from [insert country here] and am not an obvious agent of the US government.”

      What is “shinigami eyes?” I know what it is from, but I haven’t heard about it in this context before.

          Oh hey, it seems to work, thanks! I don’t know if I’ll ever really use it anywhere but it should be nice to have at least.

    Always that old “Stalin killed the old Bolsheviks” line. Stalin was longer part of the Bolsheviks than any of the “old Bolsheviks” they claimed he killed for no reason.

    The answer for Pakistan is the ISI funded by the CIA.
