The IMF Has Lost Its Mind: Why on Earth Is It Still Funding Pakistan?

I just saw on the news that the IMF has granted Pakistan $1 billion.

SERIOUSLY?

Like... what world are they living in?

How can they keep giving loans to a country that’s been openly hostile, harboring terrorism, and poking India again and again with unprovoked aggression?

It’s like watching a reckless parent giving money to their child who keeps bullying other kids at school. Instead of helping the child change, they just keep handing over more cash—no questions asked.

Don't They Know What’s Going On?

Pakistan has, for years, been accused of being a safe haven for terrorists, many of whom have been directly or indirectly linked to attacks in India and elsewhere. Whether it’s the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai or ongoing cross-border tensions, we all know what’s happening. And it’s not like this information is hidden. It’s out there—on the news, in reports, in every conversation between diplomats.

And still, the IMF turns a blind eye and says, "Here, have a billion dollars."

What do they think this money will be used for? Food? Education? Healthcare?

Let’s get real.

Don’t These People Have Any Ethics?

Here’s what shocked me even more: when I googled a bit, I found that the IMF doesn’t consider a country’s moral or political behavior when granting funds.

Their official line is: “Our goal is to stabilize the global economy. We help countries that are in financial trouble, regardless of their politics.”

Wow. Just wow.

So even if a country:

• Supports terrorism,

• Mistreats minorities,

• Is ruled by corruption,

• And has no real plan for reform...

They’ll still qualify for a loan as long as their economic crisis looks urgent enough?

What kind of international system ignores common sense, ethics, and accountability?

If an individual misuses a personal loan, they get blacklisted. But if a country misuses an international loan, they get more?

I’m Not Angry at Pakistan. I’m Angry at IMF

Yes, you heard that right.

We can’t even blame Pakistan entirely anymore. Because they are the spoilt kid. And the spoilt kid doesn’t spoil himself. Someone spoils him. Someone keeps protecting him. Funding him. Encouraging his worst behavior.

That someone is IMF.

It’s like blaming a child for being stubborn and violent, while ignoring the fact that the caregiver keeps rewarding that behavior with candy and toys.

If the IMF had stopped lending money to Pakistan, they would have been forced to:

• Cut back on military spending,

• Focus on internal reforms,

• Actually build something instead of breaking things.

Instead, the IMF just acts like a drug dealer—offering quick relief, without caring about the long-term damage.

“Oh, your economy is failing again? Here’s another billion.”

“Oh, you didn’t use the last loan properly? Never mind. Have some more.”

How long will this go on?

Time for a Global Wake-Up Call

This isn’t just India’s problem. The whole world should be asking questions.

We’re in an age where we talk about responsible tech, ethical investing, and clean energy. But we still let global institutions like the IMF function without accountability?

Why aren’t there conditions like:

• Clear anti-corruption plans,

• Action against terrorism,

• Transparency in how the money is used?

The world shouldn’t just boycott Pakistan. Honestly, that’s not the solution. Instead, we should boycott blind institutions like the IMF until they wake up and grow a conscience.

We need to drill ethics into the system.

We need to say, loud and clear: you don’t get to call yourself an “international organization” if you can’t make responsible decisions.

Final Thoughts

When we look at global terrorism, unrest, and instability, we often wonder where it all begins.

Well, sometimes, it begins in quiet offices in Washington D.C., where a loan is approved without thinking about its consequences.

If we really want peace, we need to stop the cycle of silent funding and blind support.

Because without ethics, even the most well-meaning institution becomes dangerous.

Just like a drug dealer in disguise.
