Is anybody asking where this $500 million is coming from given that Pakistan is receiving billions in loans and millions in aid?I'm surprised that Pakistan is doing so even after Torkham clash.
$500 million aid given by Pakistan is really huge when itself it has just a $270 billion economy and then, just 0.538 HDI over that.
And it gonna be useless until you provide them more money than the country whose influence you're fighting.
