| History teaches us not to trust the United States, says Khawaja Asif |
| 2018-01-04 |
| [DAWN] In response to US President Trump's tirade against Pakistain, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif through a series of tweets reminded the United States of the services Pakistain had rendered during the past several years, particularly in the war against terrorism. The foreign minister said, "The history teaches us not to blindly trust the US." "You have asked what did we do? A dictator surrendered [before the US] on a single phone call, our country witnessed the worse bloodbath, you carried out 57,800 attacks on Afghanistan from our bases, your forces were supplied arms and explosives through our soil, thousands of our civilians and soldiers became victims of the war initiated by you," he tweeted. The minister also highlighted the sacrifices rendered by Paks in the war against terrorism. He also talked about the cost Pakistain paid for its participation in the said war. |

| #4 History should teach not to blindly trust anyone. Methnks the Foreign Minister is unaware of how many Americans would have supported the destruction of Pakistan (instead of going after Iraq). |

| #3 Ye, you never know when they'll get another bout of acute virtue signaling and elect another malicious idiot like Obama. Or just elect a well meaning idiot like Bush II. |

| #1 In your statement, Khawaja, you seem to have ducked the main Trump complaint about harboring terrorists. |
