The US Toppling of Imran Khan - Jeffrey D. Sachs

Covert regime change strikes again. This time in Pakistan.

A principal instrument of U.S. foreign policy is covert regime change, meaning a secret action by the U.S. government to bring down the government of another country. There are strong reasons to believe that U.S. actions led to the removal from power of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan in April 2022, followed by his arrest on trumped-up charges of corruption and espionage, and sentencing this week to 10 years imprisonment on the espionage charge. The political objective is to block Pakistan’s most popular politician from returning to power in the elections on February 8.

Covert regime change by the U.S. is shockingly routine. One authoritative study by Boston University professor Lindsay O’Rourke counts 64 covert regime change operations by the U.S. during the Cold War (1947 and 1989)... Since then, U.S. regime change operations have remained frequent, such as when President Barrack Obama tasked the CIA (Operation Timber Sycamore) with overthrowing Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad. That covert operation remained secret until several years after the operation, and even then, was hardly covered by the mainstream media.

All of this brings us to Pakistan, another case where evidence points strongly to U.S.-led regime change. In this case, the U.S. desired to bring down the government of Prime Minister Imran Khan, the charismatic, talented, and hugely popular leader in Pakistan, renowned both for his world-leading cricket mastery and for his common touch with the people. His popularity, independence, and enormous talents make him a prime target of the U.S., which frets about popular leaders who don’t fall into line with U.S. policy.

Imran Khan’s “sin” was to be too cooperative with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, while also seeking normal relations with the United States. ***The great mantra of U.S. foreign policy, and the activating principle of the CIA, is that a foreign leader is “either with us or against us.” Leaders who try to be neutral amongst the great powers are at dire risk of losing their positions, or even their lives, at U.S. instigation, since the U.S. does not accept neutrality. ***

"However, as described in my article series in March 2022⤵️, and further evidenced in this piece…the US does not, or is not, tolerant of neutrality. The “You’re either with us or against us and we will do everything we can do destroy you" mentality makes enemies of friends, especially when you’re the one instigating the drama."

March 2022 — US Hegemony Under Attack as Saudis, UAE, India Ignore Threats of Sanctions, Turn to Russia and China

Saudi Arabia and the UAE appear to be distancing themselves from Western Powers as they explore bolstering their relations with Russia and China. While the US pressures neutral parties to sanction Russia, or possibly face sanctions themselves, Russia and China are building an alternative economic system to that which has dominated the globe for decades.

...BRICS members South Africa and India have remained relatively neutral, although in this author’s opinion they are looking to cozy up with the Russia/China axis and its emerging economic network as they realize that their neutrality makes them out to be an apparent enemy of the US and the NATO alliance — judging by the threats of sanctions by the latter.

The same goes for the gulf states, although they are not BRICS [They are now....]
