The US has quietly decided to release more than $1.6bn (£1bn) in military and economic aid to Pakistan that was suspended when relations between the two countries disintegrated over the covert raid that killed Osama bin Laden and deadly US air strikes against Pakistani soldiers. Officials and congressional aides said ties have improved enough to allow the money to flow again.

America is $17 Trillion in debt, they have been shutdown, not paying out some 7- 800,000 federal employees for about 3 weeks. And after coming very close a economic apocalypse, and then raising the debt ceiling further, whats the first thing they do?
Give Pakistan $1.6 Billion in Military aid
They are borrowing cash right now to give it away to the Pakistani Military

The US has been exporting its inflation for years, there is a whole massive conspiracy about that which would be opening up a whole new can of worms.
