    Default Pakistan: Concubine among nations

    To understand this bizarre sentencing of a man who should’ve been celebrated as a hero, one has to understand the schizophrenic nature of the Pakistani state itself. Among the community of nations, Pakistan today stands out on one hand as a petty thug brandishing a dangerous weapon, and at other times as a concubine, sleeping with anyone willing to pay for her expensive tastes.

    Stung by the humiliation of being caught in the act of providing a safe haven to the world’s number one terrorist, the Pakistani military took its revenge by imprisoning Dr. Afridi and shutting down the supply routes to NATO troops in Afghanistan.
    One month after its creation in August 1947, its founder, M.A. Jinnah, dispatched a senior finance official to Washington with a begging bowl and a demand for $2 billion in aid. His message: If Pakistan collapses, the Soviets will be able to walk to the warm waters of the Arabian Sea.

    While his official lobbied Washington, back in Karachi, Jinnah was flaunting Pakistan’s geo-strategic location to the U.S. media. He told Margaret Bourke-White of Life magazine:
    “America needs Pakistan more than Pakistan needs America … Pakistan is the pivot of the world, as we are placed [on] the frontier on which the future position of the world revolves.” Bourke-White wrote. Jinnah leaned toward her, dropped his voice to a confidential note, and wagged his finger. “Russia,” he said, “is not so very far away.” The Cold War had barely begun and here was the founder of Pakistan trying to benefit from the impending clash between the USSR and USA.

    For 65 years the U.S. has succumbed to Pakistan — until now.

    "as a concubine, sleeping with anyone willing to pay for her expensive tastes."

    I'm sorry, but isn't that called a "whore"?

    Would you be fine with "expensive escort" or "high-end call-girl"?

    That would imply hotness and class. Pakistan strikes me as more a crack-ho looking for a baby daddy to give her her next fix.

    Yup a concubine isn't a whore nor is with someone for money.

    It's the exact term you should employ when a man and women live together but aren't married, back in the day it was often between two people of different statute (a noble and a commoner for example), they didn't marry because of legal reasons (mainly the family didn't want the concubine to have claims) but the children where recognized by the father.

    It's often employed as pejorative, because the Church always frowned upon such thing, but it's in theory not money related.

    Pakistan is a whore, nothing else.

    Oh and she is finding her some baby daddy too and she gets her fix courtesy of the US tax payer.
