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."
