I hate to be the buzzkill in the saloon but this article is too brazen not to share. This story has an interesting mix of fiat IMF debt slavery, US foreign influence and expertly disseminated propaganda:
https://theintercept.com/2023/09/17/pakistan-ukraine-arms-imf/
"In April 2022, the Pakistani military, with the encouragement of the U.S., helped organize a no-confidence vote to remove Prime Minister Imran Khan. Ahead of the ouster, State Department diplomats privately expressed anger to their Pakistani counterparts over what they called Pakistan’s “aggressively neutral” stance on the Ukraine war under Khan. They warned of dire consequences if Khan remained in power and promised “all would be forgiven” if he were removed.
“Pakistani democracy may ultimately be a casualty of Ukraine’s counteroffensive.”
Since Khan’s ouster, Pakistan has emerged as a useful supporter of the U.S. and its allies in the war, assistance that has now been repaid with an IMF loan."
interesting article about geopolitics

I wasn’t aware of the wider implications with Khan being ousted.
