| #5 In 2019, 33% of all Pakistani Federal Government revenue went to military spending. The remaining 67% of revenue went to debt repayment. There was actually a 4 billion revenue deficit this year. Now this means that all other Pakistani Federal spending has to be met by further borrowing. Every last rupee spent on non military items has to be borrowed. Bear in mind that military pensions in Pakistan come out of the civilian, not military budget. So the 76% of pension expenditure that goes to former Army personnel is also met by borrowing. Pakistan needs to stop looking for fascists on the other side of its border. |

| #4 Pakistan likely would have been dismembered long ago but no one wants Karachi, and Karachi doesn't want itself. |

| #1 If I were Pakistani president, I would be asking the world to help Pakistan, not obsessing over Indian Kashmir. According to the 2018 National Nutrition Survey of the Pakistani government, half of all households in Pakistan cannot afford 2 meals a day. 38% of all Pakistani children are growth stunted due to malnutrition says the NNS. According to the Pakistani Ministry of Education, 44% of Pakistani children are not in school. 42% of the population is illiterate. UNICEF says 41 million Pakistanis do not have a toilet and practice open defecation. I would think a Pakistani President would concentrate on these problems... but then I am not Pakistani. |
