America can Make Pakistan Great Again, but we don’t need USAID to fix it, or other foreign countries, for us.
Instead, Uncle Sam should look no further than 32-year-old New Yorker Onijah Andrew Robinson, who reportedly traveled to Karachi in October of 2024 to marry a 19-year-old man. (Subscribe to MR. RIGHT, a weekly newsletter about modern masculinity)

According to a report from the Independent, the Pakistani man rejected Robinson, who is now stranded in the country because her tourist visa has expired. Apparently, money was raised for her to return to the U.S. safely, but she has refused to leave and is instead demanding thousands of dollars to “rebuild” the country. Hats off to her.
Why shouldn’t she be able to fix Pakistan? Forget the USAID. Forget the U.S. military. If America wants to nation build abroad, send in Onijah.
This is the kind of gumption and ingenuity that makes Americans the greatest people in the world. Although Onijah must have been heartbroken after the 19-year-old shut down her marriage proposal, she still has enough love in her heart to help the beautiful Pakistani people make their own country great.
With enough funds, Onijah could build a mosque. She could build a cricket stadium. She could teach the Pakistani youth about the LGBT alphabet. She could literally topple their regime and create a neoliberal democracy — if we just give her a shot.
Onijah reminds me of a Pakistani kid from the viral “great grape” video in which school children are asked to declare their life goal — which usually entails destroying India — and declare fealty to their country.
Get Onijah in a full-on burka, firing up a crowd of schoolchildren with some “Pakistan is in the bag” and “great grape” chants.
Let’s let her cook. She will do what the neocons could never.
