Can’t the same be said of Pakistanis? I think it's a two-wy street. Still, it’s interesting to hate a people in the abstract (I hate all Pakistanis, for example), but like individuals (that Mr. Khan is a nice person or Mrs. Massod is a nice lady, etc.) I try not to hate people as a group. I...

Yet the government of Pakistan is willing to negotiate with extremist groups like TLP and TTP. :what: It really doesn't matter if Pakistan wants to talk or not. Events have advanced to a point that having such talks is fruitless, especially after the revocation of Articles 370 and 35A. No...

I will be impressed with the Chinese (and Indian) space program when it leapfrogs the US (and USSR) in capability and ability. If China successfully achieves a manned mission to Mars then I will truly be impressed. That would be something. Presently, we have private companies launching...

Regardless of what one thinks of the caste system, it is India's duty to defend Hindusim worldwide from defamation. If Muslims can have their ummah and Christian Christendom then Hindus deserve to have a Hindudom, which is, with the world's majority of Hindus, India. The challenge for India is...

When will people realize that Erdogan is an incompetent leader? He is economically inept, diplomatically uncouth, and a megalomaniac. The sooner Turkey gets rid of him, the better off Turkey will be.

China does not engage in Islamaphobia that is not equal, but worse than what is practiced in the Wedt? Ask what an Uigher thinks about it. Yet the war on Islamapophibia is targeted against the West but seems quiet on plight of Muslims elsewhere, especially China, where Pakistan continues to...

It's all about attracting the right talent. Unfortunately, many of these PSU seem to attract mediocrities. The best people end up in the private sector where it's more profitable and the path to advancement is based more on merit and less on politics.

My bad. I missed that. So it's even a worse deal than I thought. Pakistan is paying 4-percent interest for money that just furnishes their foreign exchange reserves and can be taken away at any time. The Saudis make free money and gain leverage over Pakistan.

Russians must be happy to have a mark like India as a customer. Now it's buying an unproven -- though advanced -- tank. I know I'm repeating myself but tanks are something India should've developed on its own, along with assault rifles, light machine guns, etc. Both the army and air force seem...

As long as the JF-17 uses Russian engines the better for India... :what:

What are the Saudis getting in return? There are no such things as a charity in international relations. Do they gain interest for the pointless deposit of $3 billion in SBP?

The day the US can't pay its debt is the day the US dollar will cease to be the world's reserve currency. A country's currency is an indicator of reliability, trustworthiness, and credibility. If you don't have them, no one will demand your country's currency but someone they trust and rely upon.

How would Islamic countries turn a clearly haram product like cannabis into halal? It's a can of worms for Islamic countries in dealing with it. Yes and possible. I found the following two articles interesting: Dutch Earn EU400 million annually through cannabis sales. The Netherlands wants...

Does anyone care what Congress thinks about anything? They are a party of nothing. They have no ideas besides recycling socialist-flavored BS. They have no foreign policy to speak of except this NAM nonsense. Bhai, we are in 2021, things have changed considerably. Lastly, the party lacks any...

I’ll believe it when I see it. EU has been talking about a joint military force to replace US-led NATO for years but has amounted to nothing more than countless white papers on the subject. The EU is like a drug addict, it's hooked to the US on defense, which obligates it to defend Europe from...

Even if TTP comes to an agreement with Pakistan, it means nothing. Members of TTP will just reform under another name and continue their business. If what you said is true, that TTP is an insurance policy for the Taliban, why get rid of it?

1947 was indeed a heady time for both countries, especially Pakistan, where people thought that if they could create a country from nothing, capturing Kashmir is well within reach. But they fell short. Still, 2021 is not 1947 and the ground realities are different. Kashmir has not only been...

If Pakistan thought it could militarily take Kashmir it would have done so by now. The Pakistan Army relies on more information than a single video but it hasn't stopped arm-chair generals. Cowardly? Or just realistic and sober? Besides, can Pakistan's weak economy survive more than a few days...

No. What China has done is clearly IP theft. Ask any country. Hell, even some Chinese members of PDF have admitted to it. Perhaps. Still, China is not equated with quality.

Textiles are highly competitive, with thin margins, and easily fungible. Pakistan is clearly benefitting from rupee devaluation which makes its exports much cheaper than competitors. But will it last?
