What a load of unsubstantiated garbage. Pakistan isn't poor, but has useless leaders. Learn to differentiate between that. Pakistan is a very resource rich country. Just because the useless leaders don't have the ability to extract these resources for the benefit of the people doesn't...

It is no secret that the incumbent pro-US Pakistani government is the result of a 'deal' brokered by the Bush administration in 2007. That deal imposed the current set of discredited politicians on Pakistan. In some ways, this was the third US-led regime change, after Kabul and Baghdad. But...

They are only brandished as terrorists because they demand their legitimate right for independence. Something that India is vigorously opposed to. I'll be the last person on this planet to deny that LeT never committed a crime. Unfortunately, where there's struggle there are bound to fall...

Why would the Pakistani authorities otherwise hold talks with the French for a possible MICA missile deal? The JF-17 can house the AIM-9 Sidewinder.

^^ Just like the NA which are your pet dogs? Also, the amount of sacrifices made by the PA is enough testimony of how serious they are about this war. Just because some people are blind or deliberately unwilling to accept this doesn't change the reality. Let's differentiate between LeT which is...

You're just avoiding the real question which is that the drone attacks are not nearly enough effective as advertised by your friends in the US army. The immeasurable collateral damage that US technology has precipitated thus far easily exceeds the advertised effectiveness. Had your own family...

Please stop ruining this thread by bringing in off topic issues such as Su-30 etc. Also, stop assuming things out of the blue. Let's not compare apples with oranges. The topic of this thread is JF-17 and not the comparison between any other aircraft. Request would be to stay on topic.

No doubt, the JF-17 JV project is a major milestone for Pakistan in particular. In the past, Pakistan has been heavily reliant on the US for fighter jets and spares. Sanctions were an imminent threat. That threat has now been neutralized. Another very important aspect of the JF-17 is the ability...

Very well, you're entitled to your opinion. I, for one, am a staunch supporter of this idea. I believe that a so-called digital fence can be very helpful in minimizing the inflow of insurgents into Pakistan. Thus, indirectly also addressing US concerns of so-called safe havens on the Pakistani...

US generals have always openly opposed this idea in the media. Though, the question still remains why it isn't your choice to assist in fencing the border since it will be in everyone's interest to keep those miscreants from regrouping on the Pakistani side of the border as you always...

^^ Quite an extensive read. Thanks for sharing it. Politics and cost are ultimately the deciding factors.

Good call by the Islamabad police officials. Wherever there will be Americans there will be a high risk of terror attack. The Americans better be moved to an unknown location. Not only for their own security, but the public at large.

So why refuse our offer to fence the border? Why refuse to supply drones? Why insist on killing our innocent sons and daughters at the expense of a handful of miscreants? Believe it or not, Pakistanis residing in the Tribal Areas too have sons and daughters. Wouldn't that be helpful in...

First things first! Who is Harlan Ullman? Answer: "Harlan K. Ullman (born March 15, 1941), is a political author, commentator, and a retired United States Naval Commander. He is an advisor to government and the private sector and is active in transformation both of business and the Department of...

yet when there is an election many of the people they complain about get elected by the will of the people. That's because faces never change in Pakistan. Election in Pakistan means selection of rotten apples. Anyone that knows a little bit of Pakistani history also knows that after...

Please stop glorifying the NA thugs that are ruthless and inhumane. The NA warlords are heavily involved in drug trafficking. These people have no regard for human rights. For instance, much criticism has been levelled against the NA for alleged breaches of human rights, by both Afghan and...

A classic example of how things are blown out of proportion. Public diplomacy between the US government and Pakistani people is virtually non-existent. At least, Holbrooke is right about one thing which is that the relationship between Pakistan and the US isn't a sincere one. This relationship...

PAF has learnt its lesson during the 90s embargo. The domestic defence industry has as a result flourished and we've witnessed how capable we really are. Relying on one supplier is suicide. We have all learnt that any capability must come with some sort of ToT. Self reliance is the key here. The...

^^ China realizes that a cautionary policy is in the best interest of the region. China is simply trying to get the message across that every action has a reaction. Such statements reflect the goodwill China has towards all its neighbours despite unresolved conflicts. China wants a way out.

@Unity This is coming from someone that would blame Pakistan if an earthquake occurred in Afghanistan. My advise, don't be disloyal to the same hand that fed you during war and misery.
