US hard at work at regime changes again..

[Nobody-cwwm]

I don’t see him being “dragged down the street”?

[goldmother]

Aaahhh yes .... The reliable 'justice' system

This honorable man should have taken shelter in Pashtun tribal territories, this entire US/ UK packed charade is evocative if the successful attempt by the same on the sole democratic experiment of military ruled Egypt when at the prodding of and in collaboration and collusion with the US toppled the only democratically elected leadership in this country's long history of despotism, the US led west also attempted similar stint against President Erdoğan of Turkey in the summer of 2016 when they sponsored a thankfully failed military coup d'etat and assassination attempt on then President Erdoğan, only to be thwarted by a vigilant security and intelligence services as well as a popular uprising standing as a bulwark against tanks and infantry columns culminating in the famous indelible imagery of the people subduing the military in the streets of Türkiey's major cities.... What's happening in Pakistan today of shameless and egregious persecution against Imran Khan is yet another example of a desperate US led west attempts to fight the will of sovereign populations, simply because their choice is to put in power people representative of their respective societies, cultures and interests, who almost always happen to be hailing from conservative Muslim background, the west is at war with Islam and Muslims and they can not fathom let alone accept any manifestation of popular will taking hold in those nations....

Pakistan has been under the military boot for 75 years. People want freedom and want the military corruption to end. Most recently, General Bajwa retired with a self-disclosed $48 million per his own tax filings. His salary was $577 per month. The people who leaked this information are in jail. The military runs a parallel economy that is unaccounted for and pays no taxes. Military is the largest land developer and have their venal fingers in every industry. Bribery for foreign hardware purchase is rife and can turn any General into a multi-millionaire. They run death squads and 'disappear' people. Journalists who speak about military excesses show up dead in roadside ditches. They threaten or buy judges. They are in nexus with corrupt, hand-picked politicians like the Sharifs and the Zardaris, who share in the loot. They collect over 50% of national spending after foreign debt service. The surprise is not that the people are revolting. The surprise is that they have waited this long. Western powers need to understand that the military cannot win in the long term. Instead of paying a one-line lip service to democracy as the White House Press Secretary did yesterday, it is time to stand with the people of Pakistan who demand nothing more than a clean government, education for their kids and a fair chance in life.

And WHY isn't this done in the USA ????

[anjumkhan]

No, this is not a true he’s a good man 🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻🤲🏻

[Faheezyb]

Amazing how none of the news media is showing the actual footage of him being manhandled out of court building by thr military. Most of the clips are not of the actual event.😊

[wlwllpr]

Oh, he must not be a world economic forum guy- so he gets booted out so they can put one of their people in. Happening all over the world folks.

[gravewalker]

Must be left to justice system lol. Ur resporting sucks. Court didnt order the arrest. Army did.

[fourwinds]

We’re doing the same thing right here Biden is

[captainobvious]

He's the guy who justified s.assault also. Justice for women.

[hnfiiinc]

I see. So this was where all the money went in Pakistan I see.

For a country getting love from the One Road One Belt policy in China, they didn’t seem nearly as developed as China or South Korea.

My best guess had always been people still recovering from the civil war.

[yikes]

Oh look! So, this is what accountability looks like!! U.S.A. needs to follow suit, deal with #45 and ALL OF HIS CRIMES.

These dictators globally disbowled the local communities
