The post was sarcastic, did not explain your point at all but rather simply threw some links into the face of the reader after a simple one liner. Same post with actual discussion points and intent would have been fine.

Panamagate JIT summons Maryam Nawaz The joint investigation team (JIT) probing the Sharif family's business dealings abroad has summoned Maryam Nawaz to appear before it for questioning for the first time. In the summons addressed to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's daughter, the JIT has asked...

Thread opened after clean up. Keep to the topic. Insults, sarcasm and useless posts will not be tolerated. Learn to discuss like adults. And the foodies should take their discussion to the relevant thread. This is not the thread for lassi, rooh afza and biryani. Seeing as there is no air...

Thank you for the opportunity for handing out bans.

Khair Mubarak!

Who said anything about the environment? They see it as a wasted resource and so they feel it won't be stealing since its no good to the company or owners anyway. Its not about sustainability, its about mitigating guilt.

That is the general idea. The oil's wasted any way, so the locals think might as well make use of it rather than letting it all go to waste.

Those are the permanent posts that have the infrastructure to sustain deployment in winters. Prior to the Kargil War, even they were vacated in winters and troops were withdrawn to coy or bn HQs located at more tolerable ranges. The temporary posts are uninhabitable in winters. To give you an...

Yes, that's why I asked if it was a permanent post. Most temporary posts also don't extend beyond 23000 ft as there's usually very little space, temperature is unfavourable and oxygen levels plummet. Troops at such posts are regularly rotated and they are abandoned in winters.

How my heart yearns for the mountains :cry: By all definitions I am a Balti born in a Punjabi body :D The drop in oxygen and physical exertion at really high posts can't be replicated. You need to be stepped up to consistently higher positions over a period of time. It needs to be a permanent...

Above 15,000 feet is where the real fun starts. I find it to be absolutely breathtaking and beautiful at those heights. Even though crossing 18,000 feet without proper acclimatization gave me pulmonary edema and put me in a coma. I still love going back to the Northern Areas.

There should be a codified process to follow in this regard. 1. A petition with the signature of at least a quarter of the province's population should be submitted to the relevant MNA/MPA. 2. The relevant MNA/MPA should call a referendum based on the petition. 3. A transparent referendum...

Ironically, they are all senior in both induction and period of service to this bloody bugger who's only achievement in life is wooing a girl from a rich household.

Yes they are.

Can't be a pile up, the truck caught fire around ten minutes after explosion. These cars had probably stopped to take a look or became caught in the inferno.

Damn, those corpses are wiped clean of flesh. One can imagine but with such visual clues you can only imagine that it must have been a really intense blaze. Pictures from two entirely different events.

Its easy to dismiss saying that they were stealing oil but keep in mind that these were probably very poor rural folk who toil on someone else's land and survive on their generosity. It is very difficult to judge their actions based on our morality that is cultivated on a full stomach and...

Gays would ask for passports saying they're gay? :what:

Obviously when you fail to acquiesce to the policy of choice, there will be a snub but that would not mean that you have no political clout in that arena. The President of France has issued several snubs towards the USA after its withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord, would that somehow...

Thread closed until any further developments come to light. I think the existing information has already been discussed to a great degree and the posts are getting highly repetitive. To sum up (from my perspective): 1. Pakistan was well within its rights to shoot down an intruding unmanned...
