Maybe wait to see that aspect. The people who usually distribute files haven’t begun their handy work yet. That is a card to be kept in play for when he’s out and begins to threaten to talk about them. But don’t worry about that now. I don’t want to cause his supporters any further distress at...

Immy's downfall will be even more pathetic.

Disagree, ISKP is way more active over there, a similar attack on Shia mosque happened in Afghanistan late last year, killed around the same number of people ~50. IEA are unable to control their territory, unable to get any international legitimacy, they even need wheat donations. Surviving on...

So IK judges he's at some risk of being attacked via no confidence and his defence is that it's a foreign conspiracy? Lmao. Nothing's certain yet, first the votes are needed, then the no confidence measure has to be brought, then it has to pass, three steps and each of them are super opaque and...

Offer the IEA support in fighting ISKP, with the conditionality that they offer no space for TTP and do the same. Seems like a no brainer for our side, to be seen what the IEA thinks. We have firepower, they have the presence, and both of us have legitimacy in fighting IS. Sit down with them...

The nation’s heads of security should resign, or fall on their sword if they can’t protect the people.

Trade, pipelines, mutual ties, and Afghanistan. All the stans should stick together.

There’s no doubt his diplomatic abilities should be questioned, everyone had expected he’d be top notch compared to the losers who came before, but it hasn’t turned out to be the case. He almost single handedly wrecked our relations with Saudi for a while, it got so bad that some GCC states...

I'm a pretty liberal minded guy, but a nice solution might be to setup false targets again, create encounters and ambush the thieves, shoot on sight, thin the herd.

The interest rate may be higher but inflation is also higher. Real return after inflation can be just as negative abroad as it is in PK. As for the other reasons, based on my limited understanding I would surmise that some people don’t want to pay taxes, others have ill gotten gains, and plenty...

Nice, but who's actually surprised? Pakistan is the victim of elite capture, clientelist politics, dysfunctional by design institutions, and no-one, not even the elite who built the state for their benefit trust the system. So whether you earn justly or unjustly, you take the cash and stash it...

If IK can secure himself by mid Q2 22, then it might be him as the current and next PM. Otherwise an opposition PM, with the future candidacy for PTI possibly falling to someone like SMQ, which I'm sure he'd be elated to hear.

And then add to that, MKI - an aircraft that flies without MAWS, belly-danced its way and dodged out 4-5 AMRAAMs. Truly inspiring stuff.

Good reading.

Looks pretty cool, I’m guessing the opening set is depicting Numenor? It’s been a while since I read the Legendarium so the details are quite foggy. And I’m guessing the mountain in the back is Meneltarma.

Marriage with the establishment never lasts, every failed experiment has its end. I hope IK makes it to the next election though, accountability has to reach farther and it must come from a wilful act by people, rather than because of a falling out with the real culprits.

von Manstein is preparing a special kind of Blitzkrieg for you in the hereafter for that comment. :D

This is the new established (and pathetic) defense mechanism of some Indian Muslims, when they are beaten on by hindutva types they begin to bash Pakistan in the hopes to win them over. Pathetic.

If anything has forced them to get even slightly defensive vs. us, it's their two front issue with China. Otherwise, I have to say, we are the ones now pushing for talks and a peace process. The whole Feb27 story is another thing, they had delusions that were quickly erased. Also, I don't...

He’s a pro economist, but if you remember our discussions last year. Saying that the brief respite in CAD and minor surplus was only temporary due to Covid and not underlying economic strength, this is basically the reversion from that brief break in the cycle.
