A very interesting interview. Their guest essentially shuts down assertions about direct US Govt manipulation and instead goes over the history of Pakistani politics to illustrate how broken and colonized their government is. It seems to paint Khan as a blip in the status quo with the military and bourgeoise steering things back into the US’s good graces just through their own interests. It seems to make sense given how many decades the US entrenched itself in their government and policy. Due to material conditions the imperialism machine just runs itself.

I would give the whole thing a watch before making snap judgements. It’s really enlightening to have info from inside the country.
