What's funny watching is the humbling of Pakistan, and the role geopolitics has played in this. Imraand and his jernails thought that they could blackmail the US into a sweet IMF deal, by saying that they have other teats to suck on. Particular emphasis was laid on Mother China's teats and it's unlimited supply of milk. But, guess pakis didn't get the memo, that as Beowulf said "Tonight will be different"... Uncle Sam's National security strategy designates China as a strategic rival. Trumps trade war has caused a decline in Chinese exports to US by 13 percent in April. Trump further topped it with 25 percent tariff on 200 billion of Chinese exports yesterday. China's Belt and Road depends on unlimited supply of dollars from its trade surplus with the US. The Trump trade war has upended that logic. OBOR investments are down this year as a result. When Uncle Sam is busy banging Mother China, how can China spare unlimited milk for its paki piglet. That's why IMF talks are dragging on and on, and Imraand is back on earth..
