    Americans in 2002: “Pakistan! Our ally! Our loyal friend! Help us in our glorious War on Terror!”

    Americans in 2008: “Why won’t the Pakistanis stand up so that we can stand down? They need to Do Their Part. Don’t they realize that Service Guarantees Citizenship?!”

    Americans in 2012: “Um, akutly crashing a couple of helicopters into a major Pakistani city in the middle of a botched raid on a house we think might maybe have Osama bin Laden in it is cool af and why would you suggest otherwise?”

    Americans in 2018: “The Pakistani people are stupid diseased evil foreigners who won’t accept our generous offer for CIA field offices vaccine drives. Also, stop hanging out with China. Just stop it. Uighur genocide. Uighur genocide! UIGHUR GENOCIDE!!!”

    Americans in 2022: “Pakistan has always been a leading exporter of anti-semitism. I hear everyone in that country is literally Hitler.”
