98 percent of Nepal's third country trade passes through India's Kolkata port. This would change after the implementation of the Protocol of Nepal-China Transit and...
India's policy of continuously accusing Pakistan of harboring terrorists (including Hafiz Sayeed), and demanding action is:
to divert the international community's attention away from the atrocities committed by Indian forces in Kashmir... It essentially "justifies" the stationing of 700,000...
Yes, indeed. I read somewhere that many parts of ATAK are procured from US. So, due to ongoing tensions between Turkey and US, ATAK order might also get affected.
India should build toilets first before lecturing others on what topics to choose for discussion.... you beggars are also OBSESSED with ISI and Hafiz Sayed... I also dare you to stop talk if you don't care...

I think Northern Distribution network also includes a route through Russia... to starve Americans, Pakistan, Turkey and Russia would have to simultaneously coke their respective routes... which is unlikely to happen I suppose... (Trukey being a NATO member, would be most hesitant)
To expose the so-called Muslim Brotherhood myth, we don’t need to look beyond what’s happening in Yemen and Syria… Iran-Saudi rivalry and Pakistan-Afghanistan tensions are a few more examples… Iran-Iraq war, Iraq-Kuwait war and Gulf war, all point to the bitter reality that everyone acts in...
