@TheseLongWars returns to guide us through the myraid personalities that have dominated the recent history of Pakistani politics. Benazir Bhutto's rise and assassination. Nawaz Sharif and military party politics. Elections and their lack in Pakistan. The social forces that led to Imran Kahn. General Zia's 1988 plane crash. 1999 Pakistani coup d'état and the General Musharraf era. Imran Kahn as the Trump-like froth of Pakistani neoliberal politics.

I will throw out a few facts here, the coverage of Imran Khan is quite biased/cherry picking of events, what I do appreciate is TLW being honest tabout his dislike for Imran Khan...(1) Imran Khan always maintained there is no military solution to Taliban problem This earned him the nick name: Taliban Khan. He was proven right, when the biggest military might had to sit down on a table and sign a peace deal with them. He was against the war in Afghanistan from day one and very vocal about it, he even came to US to warn politicians against it. (2) Its absolute bullshit to call him neo-liberal.His belief about health care and lifting people out of poverty are not very different to Bernie. Imran Khan is the most pro-working class PM Pakistan has ever seen. Evident in the fact, he is the biggest philanthropist in the country (Search Shaukat Khanum Hospital). (3) He believes in Medicare for all, his party in khyber pakhtunkhwa (one of the provinces) announced recently they will roll out universal health care to all. https://dawn.com/news/3000647/kp-budget-focuses-on-health-system-economic-slowdown . They have already covered the poorest 40% in the last 5 years now expanding to everyone in the Province/state (4) In Covid, they were able to get cash into the poorest 80 million people of the country faster than most first world countries https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/05/using-cash-payments-protect-poor-pakistan/...(5) TLW, if you are reading this, Baby Bhutto is as corrupt as his father and mother (which you seem to like, she was absolutely corrupt as hell)
