This is the worse timeline ever
I am desperately trying to find the portal out of here
Good luck. After sharing the secret, they removed all the payphones.
They cut the hardline! Find the schematics of this building. I need the main wet wall.
After all the news in the last couple of weeks how it might be very likely that our universe is inside a black hole, good luck!
It's in the bushes behind the greenhouse.
Do more drugs. Got it!
I really dislike that so many people in this timeline don't know or can't see the difference between worse and worst.
Yeah, it's the wurst
horse wurst?
Nominations don't really mean anything.
The subtext behind Pakistan doing it, and doing it now, is to try and bait Trump away from getting involved with Pakistan's ally: Iran.
If Trump does anything to Iran, Pakistan is going to make a big fuss about doubling-back on their nomination.
Does the nomination mean anything? No. Is he going to get the award? No. It's entirely a diplomatic maneuver for a very specific goal of keeping the US out of Iran.
Its just buttering him up for the next terrorism attack on India that Pakistan is planning to conduct. Iran is a Shia majority country and no ally of Pakistan which is a sunni majority country. Minority sects like Hindus, Shia, Ahmadiyas and ethnic minorities like Hazaras are treated the absolute worst in Pakistan. I would be surprised if they ever ally with Iran.
Iran and Pakistan are absolutely allies. They do joint military exercises. They have a joint weapons production program. Iran's diplomatic channels to the USA literally operate out of Pakistan's embassy in Washington.
They exchanged missile fires last year. I am guessing thats part of the joint military exercise as well. Got it
Always check the username
Actual medals don't mean much anymore either.
Not sure if worst, but quite likely the stupidest. I'm no genius myself, but the amount of utter (and aggressive!) stupidity that surrounds us is so exhausting...
