That will come later. We have two fronts now, not one.

Okay, lets see how successful the Prime Minister will actually be in implementing his policy decision to improve trade and political relations with India. Would you consider that a valid litmus test of who actually control the policy?

What accusation Sir? I merely state a matter of fact. Or, for example, would you like us to think that the Army has decided, out of the goodness of its heart and the nobility of its mission, to let the NS government actually run foreign or defense policy? Really?

I did. It does not tell me the breakdown, specially about the value of the parts locally manufactured.

It is a center within NUST:

Yes, "seems" is such a loaded word, it seems. Let anyone making the mistake of underestimating the Army's role in just about everything do so at their own peril. Nothing has changed behind the scenes.

If that is true, this is excellent news. So is there a detailed breakdown of which components are actually made locally? 85% of "parts" or 85% of the "value" of the parts?

So what is "Arab" about the products shown? I suspect these are all older designs, only assembled there.

The IRS visits you in Botswana? I don't think so. It is not even Social Security taxes. If any US citizen earns more than $4500 in a year, no matter where, then it is mandatory to file a tax return. That return may be a simple form that shows no taxes due, but it must be filed.

That claim is erroneous. Only permanent residents and citizens are subject to the taxes. Foreign nationals buying property merely have to indicate the sources of the funds. You do not pay separately. If the income earned abroad has paid taxes in that country, then those taxes are deducted and...

A source for that claim please?

What is wrong with that? If you want the benefits of holding the passport, then you should also pay your taxes. Or give it up, as these people are doing. Simple. (Please keep in mind that treaties to prevent double taxation exist as well.)

Assuming that this work makes the engine okay, the next step would be check rolling resistance, for example dragging brakes or bad bearings, or even something as simple as low tire pressures due to slow leaks. Edit: How is the consumption being calculated? The correct answer is given by filling...

@Aeronaut that "Gift from God" will lie sleeping under the ground for many years yet without any benefit to us.

Golden words. And then some nations are unfortunate enough to return the gift package from God via FedEx by marking it "Return to Sender".

Good and noble words indeed. But their implementation is what matters. Let me keep an open mind for now and see what results actually are obtained in the field, with the observation that any plan that has our local thana as the basic unit is already headed for miserable failure.

Okay. Please tell me who was right when the research leads to anything more than a few papers for Pakistanis, perhaps even a nanotechnology plant. I am quite sure I will be proven correct. No rush.

This is similar to the number of times people have taken credit for "starting" the Lowari Tunnel project. It still is not finished.

Yes Sir, I appreciate what you are saying. The bottom line remains that desperation is likely to set in as we slowly but surely run out of viable options. Which we are. At a rapid rate.

Parity or near parity in conventional forces is going to be nearly impossible for the foreseeable future Sir. What will prevent us from merely bending our knees rather than being a complete pushover will be our nuclear weapons. We better take care of them.
