  1. Some Indians have this weird colonial hangover to be liked by The West and The West have constantly chosen Pakistan over India. 1) Did they like India when (Mahatma) Gandhi was around? No. (They called him half naked fakir) 2) Did they like India when Nehru was around? No. (They chose Gen Ayub Khan on one side and Chairman Mao on the other side) 3) Did they like India when Indira Gandhi was around? No. (We have heard the Richard Nixon tapes and Reagan preffered to work with Zia ul haq) 4) Did they like India when Manmohan Singh was around? No. (The civil nuclear deal with US has gone nowhere, Manmohan Singh and Hardeep Singh Puri were against Syria and the Libya war) 5) Do they like India when Modi is around? No. Pakistan is a lot more similar to USA than One would think. Both Pakistan and USA are run by a Deep State. The Pakistani Deep State is of Mullahs, Chaudhari Zamindars, Army and ISI. And America has Deep state that consists of military industrial complex and wall Street.(Micimatt) America has a deep state just like Pakistan has a deep state, may be that's why the two get along so well. America can tell them what to do and they'll just do it. There is a 75 year data on Pakistan, Go look back at that history you will notice the same pattern again and again. Both Pakistan and USA are deeply religious countries. In America, you would need the Evangelist vote to win an election. All the Pakistani politicians lean into thier religion to get elected. (Imran Khan and Trump are both gaffe machines and also a bit similar) You can say that India and Israel are religious countries too, but both India and Israel are more culturally religious and more non denomination in nature. Most Hindus are just *"Hindus who celebrate diwali"*. Indians and Chinese indigenous religious groups that are entwined with cultural and civilizational history of each country. Which is where India and China have a lot more in common with each other. And Most Jews are just Hanukkah celebrating Jews and nothing more. Where as a lot of Americans behave like Bible thumping Christians and most Pakistanis behave like are Quran thumping Islamist. Just like Americans who hold on to thier Bible, thier guns and xenophobia. Similar to it Pakistan holds on to thier Quran, thier nukes and hinduphobia. Obviously, In the Rest of the world no one takes each of them seriously, on thier claim of the religion. Saudis and Arabs mock the Pakistanis for thier claim on Islam. And The early Christian nations in Europe don't take America's claim on Christianity seriously. Europeans don't take America' claim on being a guardian of "Western Civilizations" seriously or American claims of being "Irish" or "Italian" seriously as is it is with Americans claim on Christianity. Both America and Pakistan have directly or indirectly funded terrorists and terrorists groups as well as both US and Pakistan have engaged in genocide of the natives. And Guess what! Both America and Pakistan have topped the list of the biggest threat to Global peace. Just look at the situation now. Money is fungible until Americans pay Pakistan or Saudis or Qataris or Mujahideens. So, Even though there are lot of great things about America and there is not much great about Pakistan, (on the power structure of the Deep state) US and Pakistan are a lot similar.

  3. This guy is a "so called Journalist". Donald Trump is the most American president ever. He is also the most American looking man ever. Donald Trump is the most American person even, He's a showman, He's Smart, He's funny, He's charming, He's disloyal, He's Vulgar, He can be a bit Crass, He's Selfish, He's narcissistic, He's street smart, he can be blunt, He knows things broadly, he's doesn't know anything specifically, he has vague knowledge of anything, he has a high self image of himself, he likes to brag about himself and his money (very much an American quality), he's unapologetic, he's a bundle of contradiction, and He's amazingly fit for a guy who eats horrible food. DONALD TRUMP IS AMERICA. He's right on few things and he's wrong on few things. Like most American's he has an image of being dumb and stupid. In a weird sort of way he's, He's a symptom of where America is and a microcosm of where America is. People who like him, like him for who he is, people who dislike him, dislike for he is. People who hate him, hate him for who he is and what he represents, In a way they hate themselves and (hate the ugly parts of America and they see the ugly parts of America in him), and the Americans who love him, love him for who he is. People try to argue policy difference between Democrat and Republican. But, Post Cold war America' policies haven't changed much, George Bush sr, Bill Clinton, George Bush jr, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden have pretty much the same policies with some minor differences here and there. Infact, Donald Trump ruled in pretty much like the Romney Ryan model. Obviously there is a difference in foreign policy, for which he gets push back from the establishment which thinks America should be the "Global Policeman of the world" and never allow itself to be the second biggest power in the world which is the Nixon model.(Widely accepted notion on both sides Democrat and Republican as well as on the Right and Left). Because, America likes to be the Global Policeman of the World, they just don't like to admit it, that they like to be the Global Policeman of the world.
