      Poverty, lack of education, the US overthrew multiple democratically elected leaders during the red scare by funding extremist groups to commit coups, harsh environment.

        Why is the US catching strays from Britain’s fuckup?

        Pakistan’s legacy is from the Raj.

        Agreed. The US needs to focus on making weed legal, ignoring abortion altogether (its not their business), and forgiving student loans. This government has become more like the Empire.

        Don’t forget corruption, lack of firearm and border control, political rival officials turning a blind eye to intelligence reports, intelligence agencies keeping the info to themselves because they don’t like the target, military/intelligence doing false flag operations to distract public from other issues…

        Just so many reasons that all arise from corruptions.

          That’s horrible. I wish countries like these had the opportunity to flourish into first world countries. I hate watching the constant turmoil instead of what could be if they were able to contribute to the overall betterment of humankind.
