I meant that we are a state, while Palestine is not, a nuclear weapon state with the world's 7th largest population and military. You simply can't ignore Pakistan regardless of how weak we currently are.

Finally! India has given a humungous PLI scheme to attract semi conductor manufacturing to its shores. We mustn't catch this train in time or be left behind as in many other things. Religious focus is needed on this as a matter of national security. There is no independent defense industry...

67-69 billion USD (counting FDI as well) inflows and over 80 billion USD (maybe 85-90 billion USD) worth of outflows for this FY.

Time to tell the Saudis we are with them through and through. We'd do everything that could hurt Iran's interests and even Iran itself. Striking two birds with one stone. On the one hand, truncating burgeoning Indian influence in the absence of our presence in GCC, and on the other making Iran...

He says the security establishment is going to tighten the screws on the miscreants in coming times in Balochistan (I disagree, there are capacity and doctrinal gaps which have to be addressed first). Highlights the fact that Baloch insurgent groups are growing in capacity and their attacks are...

So they harbor proxies that hit your country directly and you attack their proxies? That would not be a deterrent.

Where does it hurt them? They are out against the Western alignment of CPEC.

You are preaching to the choir.

And today all of it has been forgotten. The same terrorists are rampaging across the tribal and settled districts being shielded by their ideological brethren across the border in Afghanistan. If one says a word about the policy of weakness, the MODs here would penalize them. A forum that should...

Easy to say this while hosting BLF as well as its other patron i.e. Indian intelligence on Iranian soil. Pakistan eliminated Regis for Iran. We chose neutrality over Yemen and the return was in the shape of continued use of Iranian soil against Pakistan. Lip service is paid to the...

Deployment of Chinese troops is not an option. Not that there would be sovereignty issues (which surely there would) or geopolitical ramifications, but the simple fact that Chinese do not fancy fighting on foreign soil. Building capability of FC to that scale would be time-consuming and costly...

Does Iran harm Pakistan directly? Short answer ABSOLUTELY. RAW is using that country as a springboard for subversive activities in Balochistan. It does not just stop there, Iran has given a free rein to BLF militants to use its soil for launching attacks into Balochistan (and the objective...

I do not have unflinching devotion for him, so yeah, viewed from an objective lens, maybe it would be WaY hIgHeR tHaN mY uNdErStAnDiNg. As I said before, do not detract from the discussion whose scope is confined.

Best stay within the confines of the subject matter of this post rather than getting detracted. It has to be understood that Iran is doing what it is for its own benefit. We have to do what we do for our own benefit. Ruling elites (unfortunately military is part of it in this country) in 3rd...

I think Balochistan is a black hole. We do not enough human and material resources to do what you are suggesting for a region with 36 people per sq km population density. What you need is more reliance on technology (both for actionable intelligence gathering and strike role), nimbleness, and...

Didn't put those tactics to use in terms of responding to the takeover of Siachin, but if we go down that rabbit hole, this entire thread would be detracted.

A person can be ignorant and there is no harm in that, but many Indians are arrogant in their ignorance. If you do not follow the Iranian internal politics that's your fault. It is not our responsibility to educate you regards to the political realities of present-day Iran. Your ally Israel was...

Precisely.

It stopped being that this year. Time to see the writing on the wall. 2 coordinated attacks on key FC installations in the interior Balochistan and overrunning a regular military manned post are telling signs of things to come. It is best to agree on the gravity of the situation before any...

If you are observing the developments in Balochistan that is around 42% of Pakistan's total landmass, you would be able to recognize a pattern. That pattern entails insurgents being able to strike at will, at a tactically advantageous point, and at times with an overwhelming projection of force...
