    Bet my life savings the Pakistani army sells the resource rights to some oil company for $5

    Or in the rare chance Imran Khan actually makes it out of political purgatory, bet my life savings it will take the USA 5 seconds to do another regime change.

    Or it could also just be a hyped up false report like last time…

    Taliban government proudly announces that they too have found trillions of dollars of oil and gas in Afghanistan’s territorial waters.

      Will you westerners ever stop interfering in other’s politics?

      Our neighboring country, whom i have many friends and family from now has a chance of becoming as rich as saudi arabia. Peace and prosperity can finally be attained in south asia.

        Lmao

        Peace and prosperity can finally be attained in south asia

        When massive amounts of money are to be made, peace is rarely obtained, and prosperity is only achieved for a select few.

        Do tell us which Western country @WoodScientist is from. Since you know they’re a Westerner, and one with the ability to interfere with another nation’s politics, no less.

    Oh no. Misspoke. I initially misread as Palestine at a glance because that’s what I expect apparently.
