bogus | 5 years ago | Reply So much for the "limit travel" mantra, Buckle up friends .. the New Pakistan is just the Old Pakistan with a younger leader. Light at the end of the tunnel isn't salvation - it's a freaking train. BTW - where's the promised CPEC disclosure? Guess that's remains a secret along with the New Chinese "debt". What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a new result. Sounds like us.
