    You knew he was in the CIA's cross hairs when he had that meeting with Putin (terrible scheduling ahead of time), right after Russia launched their attacks on Ukraine. He was openly threatened by the US embassy when he refused to condemn Russia. Pakistan is sometimes called China's Israel, but it's unfortunate, sections of the Pakistani establishment have always been willing to do the US' bidding, from their fight against the Soviets in Afghanistan to the War on Terror. A lot of the Pakistani elites have family living in the US and plan on retiring there, so they are easily bought off.

      Two of their lifelong political leaders (Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif) are literally the 5th and 7th richest Pakistanis in the world-- the country has been plain looted for decades, and will now continue to be.
