You guys came here to tell us that Trump won't do anything for IK and we said that is true and then you ignored that and kept telling us again and again that he cant do anything, and again we said it was true. So I just thought I would trigger you guys and it worked.
Oh ok,phew for a second I thought you actually believed some of the things you were saying. Good to know you are normal and just trolling. All good 👍
 
Even though I created this thread but I have very low expectations from Trump. In international politics, it's always about scratching one back. US had problems in Afghanistan then but nothing much to offer now. Infact, what Trump would be looking ie the acceptance of Israel by Pakistan and distancing with China could be better than by the incumbent government than IK.

Very strong lobbying or making the issue personal to Trump could be the only hope for PTI but even for that someone needs to properly convey the insults hurled by current government members on Trump. Currently Trump has far more important issues to deal with
 
From "Trump is a xenophobe who hates Muslims" in 2016 to "Please sir, help IK" in 2024. How things change over here :jk

I doesn't see any administration, Republican or Democrat, want anything to do with Pakistan unless PAK willingly goes ahead and helps them destabilise Iran just like they did with AFG etc.
 
I guess we will find out soon ... that it was just a pipe dream! LOL
 
Trump bats for Trump and although the Junta are kacking their pants, they will offer enough to the Israeli lobby to keep Kaptaan in jail . IK will be freed when Mistry is cornered by PKs or he doesn't see him as a threat, neither of which is in the offing at the moment.

The Mistry came in with a clean slate and could have shown his loyalty to PK, but instead he showed hid loyalty to a criminal and not PK or its constitution. He has made himself President for life But as Zia and Mush found to their cost, nothing lasts forever.

Fawad Chaudhry wants Trump to investigate PTI founder’s ouster

Former federal minister Fawad Chaudhry has called on the United States (US) President-elect Donald Trump to personally investigate the ousting of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s government, ARY News reported.

In a statement, Fawad Chaudhry said that Donald Trump’s advisors also believe the President Joe Biden administration was ‘involved’ in ouster of Imran Khan as the prime minister of Pakistan.

Citing what he termed ‘similarities’ between Donald Trump and Imran Khan, Fawad Chaudhry said that the US president-elect also faced similar ‘fake cases just like Imran Khan is facing in Pakistan’.

He said that the people’s decision has been accepted in the US election 2024, but the nation’s mandate was ‘disregarded’ in Pakistan’s general elections.

I posted a similar thing. What will Trump or US benefit by helping Mr.Kaptaan?

Imran in his previous speeches has clearly said he will not let US use Pakistan as a base to attack any neighboring nation. When US ran away from Afghanistan, he said Taliban broke the slave shackles or something similar to that. Then under his watch, you saw Pak ISI chief having tea in Kabul celebrating USA ouster in a cowardly way. Pakistan did not even hide its role in USA's undignified exit from Afghanistan.

With all this bad blood, some Pakistanis are hoping that USA and Trump of all people to help Imran Khan to give him get out of jail card.

As I said before Trump is a money man and Kushner is friends with MBS, who is fully part of the regime change backers. MBS will give them the access and i don't expect any pressure to come from Trump. But as you see on a daily basis the desi gods are taking the patch work quilt methodology and have no plan except to stay in power to mint billions.
 
Never rule out anything.

Trump always like big personality people , so no chance Nawaz or Zardari gets a preference from Trump.

Trump also seems a straight guy so no chance Billo gets job done from Trump.

Trump has seen it all unless Maryam does a strip show for him , so no chance.

Trump has a liking for IK.... so just to poke the jokers sitting in govt in Pak, Trump might push for IK release
 

Trump 2.0: Will China and Imran Khan test Pakistan ties with the US?​

Islamabad, Pakistan – Amid a flurry of congratulatory messages from political leaders worldwide following his victory in the US presidential election, Donald Trump received a message from an unexpected source: Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan, his “very good friend” who is currently in jail.

In a brief, 55-word post on his X social media account, Khan congratulated Trump on his win and said the will of the American people “held against all odds”.

“President Elect Trump will be good for Pak-US relations based on mutual respect for democracy and human rights. We hope he will push for peace, human rights, and democracy globally,” Khan’s message read.

Will Trump intervene on Khan’s behalf?

While most experts believe Pakistan is unlikely to be a priority for the new administration, Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), is hopeful that Trump’s win could ease the political troubles faced by the former prime minister, who just two years ago accused the US, under President Joe Biden, of meddling in Pakistan’s domestic politics to remove him from power.

Former Pakistan president and a senior member of PTI, Arif Alvi, congratulated Trump for his victory, adding that “free and fair” elections allowed “the citizens of America to make their dreams come true”.

“We look forward to continued cooperation as democratic nations. Indeed, your victory must have sent shivers down the spine of dictators and aspiring dictators of the world,” Alvi wrote on platform X.

But Pakistan’s officials appeared confident that the US under Trump would not pressure them for Khan’s release – and laid down Islamabad’s red line on the matter.

“Pakistan and the United States are old friends and partners, and we will continue to pursue our relations on the basis of mutual respect, mutual confidence and noninterference in each other’s domestic affairs,” Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch told reporters on Thursday.

Former PTI minister Fawad Chaudhry has claimed that Imran Khan’s connection with the Trump family dates back to the 1980s. In an interview with a private TV channel, Chaudhry said that pictures of Imran with Donald Trump’s first wife, Ivana, are available online, saying it reflects a long-standing relationship and familiarity between Imran and the Trump family.

For the record, Ivana and Donald Trump had a highly publicised divorce in 1992 amid Ivana’s allegations of sexual assault against her ex-husband, which were eventually settled.

In 2015, Ivana responded to a Daily Beast report citing her divorce deposition, where she had claimed Trump allegedly raped her. In the same statement, she clarified that she was now “the best of friends” with him.

The couple, who married in 1977 and divorced in 1992, had three children together: Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric. Ivana passed away in July 2022

Trump’s Victory and Imran Khan

With Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. election, discussions have emerged regarding the possible effects on Imran Khan and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Given Trump’s success, many wonder if his presidency might provide relief to Imran Khan and PTI. This question touches on several areas where Trump’s policies may align or contrast with Imran Khan’s approach.

Firstly, the personal relationship between Trump and Khan has been relatively positive. During Trump’s first term, they collaborated on issues like the Afghan crisis and the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Trump’s 2019 reception of Khan in Washington was warm, highlighting a foundation of respect that could continue to benefit PTI.

Both leaders also advocate for an independent foreign policy. Trump’s “America First” approach aligns with Imran Khan’s vision of prioritising Pakistan’s autonomy. Under Khan, Pakistan took neutral stances on issues such as the Afghan conflict, U.S.-China tensions, and relations with Russia, avoiding entanglement in foreign conflicts.

However, Trump’s track record on human rights could be a limitation. Known for prioritising strategic interests over human rights, he is unlikely to focus on Pakistan’s internal issues unless they intersect with U.S. concerns. Given the May 9 attacks on military installations and the resulting crackdown on PTI leaders, international bodies like Amnesty International have raised alarms, but Trump may not prioritise these concerns.

Moreover, Trump’s outlook on democracy tends towards authoritarianism, and he admires leaders like Putin and Kim Jong-un. This perspective resonates with the U.S.’s historic tendency to work with stable, authoritative regimes in Pakistan. As long as Pakistan’s government aligns with U.S. strategic interests, the Trump administration is unlikely to intervene in favour of Imran Khan or PTI.

Ultimately, U.S. policy toward Pakistan will likely remain rooted in regional security and counterterrorism interests, particularly concerning Afghanistan and the U.S.-China rivalry. Imran Khan’s political fate is unlikely to hinge on Trump’s support, with U.S. attention centred on its own strategic goals.

Pakistani Americans, PTI and PTI Lobbies have pumped millions of dollars into the Trump campaign this time in exchange for support for rule of law, supporting democracy and IKs release in Pakistan just like PDM ie PML N and PPP pumped money to the Biden campaign in 2020 in exchange for the promise they will have IK removed from office.

It's halal from PDM to use foreign sources to their benefit but Haram for pti.
 

KP to take action against PTI worker over US flag display at Swabi rally​


Barrister Muhammad Ali Saif, Adviser on Information to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has announced that legal proceedings will be initiated against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporter who waved the US flag at a party rally in Swabi.

At the PTI rally, a worker unexpectedly waved a US flag, sparking tension among attendees. As soon as the flag appeared, nearby supporters urged him to lower it, calling for the display to stop.

The situation intensified as attendees pointed towards the flag, prompting close-by workers to forcibly try to seize it. Amid some scuffling, the worker eventually lowered the flag.

A video of the incident has since gone viral on social media, drawing mixed reactions.

Barrister Saif responded, clarifying that PTI rejects the display of the US flag. He added that KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur also expressed strong disapproval.

This incident comes amid PTI's hopes that US President-elect Donald Trump, once in office in January, might influence Pakistani authorities regarding matters concerning the party’s founder, Imran Khan.

Khan, a former prime minister, has been in jail for over a year. Although he has been either acquitted or had sentences suspended in multiple cases, he remains imprisoned due to a fresh case.

In the same rally, KP CM Gandapur also vowed to secure the PTI founder’s release, stating that party workers were even ready to “sacrifice their lives” for this purpose.

 
According to a journalist, the govt and the establishment has devised a strategy that if the call or pressure for IKs release does come from the US, they will point blank tell the US they have no issues with IK going abroad in exile but they will not allow him to be free and resuming his political activities in Pakistan again. They know full well IK will refuse this offer and the establishment in turn will tell the Americans look we offered him a nice deal, he is being stubborn by refusing to accept it, therefore please forget about him and just deal with us.

US President-elect Donald Trump's recent nominee for Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, Richard Grenell, tagged a Geo News Story on X (formerly Twitter) that referred to him as "homosexual" and called for the release of founder Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan

Screenshot_20241218-204506.jpg

On December 16, Richard Grenell posted a screenshot of a Geo News Urdu article with a headline translated in English as "Homosexual Richard Grenell appointed as Trump's envoy" with a caption: "I'll say it again, @geonews_urdu: Free Imran Khan."

Expectedly, the post went viral, with most PTI supporters and leaders appreciating the US official for raising his voice in support of the former Prime Minister.

Former US congressman Matt Gaetz also reposted Grenell's post with the caption: "Free Imran Khan!"

Grenell previously served as ambassador to Germany during Trump's first administration, special presidential envoy for Serbia and Kosovo peace negotiations, and acting director of national intelligence.

National Public Radio (NPR) reported Grenell for having a reputation of "sometimes employing a contentious approach to diplomacy that rankled allies and the foreign policy establishment in Washington."
