Fine, that was a typo. I meant the one to Pakistan that you mentioned right from the start.

>And do you really think we are idiots to take a deal if it's beneficial to us. ?

.....I assume this is a typo.

You're supposed to take deals that are beneficial to you - it's a rationally sound decision. Why wouldn't you?

>But with every US deal beneficial there is a larger US deed where we come out as losers

Do you have any actual evidence that the US has had over $15B in defense trade with Pakistan in a single decade compared to the defense trade with India?

Just another claim that you refuse to give the slightest bit of context to.

>And I did my digging for my claims

Sure you did. Which is why you have yet to actually give any workable identifying information to mostly anything you said.

Seriously, the most actual information of substance that you have was the 450m number, and you were incorrect because that wasn't free aid - it was a sale for the f16 package.

Okay

Yes. I will correct it

Your support for pak side in war, sales of discounted weapons and planes which india protested and you said won't be used against India but eventually ended up using against india and even guns ending up in terrorist hands.. Financial aids. The unwillingness to sanction pakistan on terrorist organisation support. And your own state department saying it gave 32B in aid to pakistan .

>Sure you did. Which is why you have yet to actually give any workable identifying information to mostly anything you said.

Your congress alone approved 18B in military aid for pakistan in early 2000 to mid 2010s . These are easily available records online and in US department records. I am just not willing to spend the time to prepare and spoon feed that information to you.

So.....it was a sale - not 'free money'.

>Your support for pak side in war

I never gave my support to that.

> you said won't be used against India

Again, I never stated any of this.

>And your own state department saying it gave 32B in aid to pakistan .

OK seriously, did you miss the part where I never stated I was American?

But that isn't military funding, it's humanitarian funding. Rather big difference. Did you forget the floods and earthquakes?

> The unwillingness to sanction pakistan on terrorist organisation support.

Being an alleged terrorist organization support base hasn't stopped India from not sanctioning Saudi Arabia either, so there goes that 'but they don't sanction terrorist states!' angle.

Hypocrisy.

>Your congress alone approved 18B in military aid for pakistan in early 2000 to mid 2010s

Ah, ah, ah! Wrong again.

That includes economic aid as well - not just military aid.

Thanks. I am sure the Indian govt will love to have good relations with you, whoever you are. But the other guy was talking about the US govt's support for Pakistan in case you haven't noticed.

>Again, I never stated any of this

Nice. Still talking about the US govt though.

>Being an alleged terrorist organization support base hasn't stopped India from not sanctioning Saudi Arabia

Has the US govt termed Saudi a terror state and requested India to sanction it? Wait...Has the USA sanctioned Saudi yet?

>That includes economic aid as well - not just military aid.

Here: https://www.vox.com/2018/9/4/17818396/pakistan-aid-military-trump-pompeo-afghanistan

From the article:

But since 2002, the US has given Pakistan over $14 billion in aid to combat terrorism and insurgents in the region. That money is meant to reimburse Pakistan for its ongoing efforts to defeat militant groups, and it forms part of the $33 billion in total help that the US has given Pakistan over the same time period.

That $14 billion is military aid. Unless you want to play with semantics and call that an "anti-terrorism" package.
