The hypocrisy of these maulvis is mind boggling. Not a word from the ulema on Shehbaz meeting Macron, but magnifying glass on Imran Khan, who did more to defend the religion.

You are not listing them down and explaining, an admission that these are not the most capable weapons at their disposal? What about timing? What Ukraine is getting now is different from what it had a year ago. We are discussing US weapons support to Pakistan throughout decades, not just...

There are many screw ups on his part and due to the sad state of human capital. Even if you find someone who isn't corrupt, they are still incompetent. There's a nice verse from the Qur'an https://quran.com/12/55 to ponder. Yusuf, when asking to be appointed to position of authority, describes...

Try listing the "most capable western weapons systems" down and prove to me how and why they are the most capable in western arsenals. The tens of billions aren't necessarily cash. Much of it is old hardware that was more expensive to scrap. The US has provided much more to Pakistan throughout...

You are repeating the same lines PMLN and PPP repeat to explain why the economic performance of Musharraf or Imran Khan govt was superior and why they fail, like WoT aid or COVID boom in export orders- which is nonsense as Bangladesh lost exports to Pakistan and the textile companies were using...

So you're saying that Imran Khan's dharnas ruined the economy? What nonsense. PMLN and PPP have each had more than three terms ruling this country and even in only 3 years of Imran Khan, the exports & remittances during PTI were at their highest in the country’s history. Higher than PMLN, PPP...

Pakistan has always been better off compared to Ukraine when it comes to sustaining a protracted conflict. It produces a lot of weapons and ammunition locally to sustain the logistical requirements. Also Ukraine's supply is not continuous. There is delay. You've noticed less news of ATGM? It's...

The support includes a few IFV, tanks, artillery guns, ammunition, HIMARS, many ATGM, drones, a few standoff weaponry. It's not enough to build a full fledged military like they did with Pakistan, which had more armor, artillery, full air force with mostly American aircraft, along with a full...

You know... when I see Ukranian military, smaller than PA and woefully underarmed and lacking an air force, managing to repulse and even defeat the Russians who are more powerful than the Indians, I wonder if Pakistan could have retake Kashmir had the Pakistan Army been like UkAF and only...

Where were you since the beginning of this conflict? Javelin and other ATGM were powering Ukranian guerilla tactics and caused Russians to fail to take over Ukraine. They failed to take over Kyiv, the government survived and armed for this offensive. Ukraine has over 80% of their land with...

Not exactly, Russians cannot sustain an indefinite war. Invaded country will always be at an advantage as long as it can fight back. Sure Ukraine can't fight conventional war indefinitely, but it can mount low intensity guerilla warfare as long as necessary. The same forced Soviets to leave...

Khan's first interview with Orya right after Bajwa retired was an eye opener. He said that he wasn't as disappointed with being removed as he was being removed just as when they had finally stabilized the economy and the future looked promising. I had always argued with family the same, that the...

Don't worry guys, the establishment will have the money ready to save Pakistan from bankruptcy and economic collapse. After all, they took the decisions that led Pakistan to this. That means they definitely have the answer too.

Zardari, Bilawal, PPP, and many Sindhis who support them are just fine with letting Karachi burn as long as it remains under their control. That is why PPP continues to win interior Sindh. Even if Karachiites were to vote, nothing would change as PPP has PhD in rigging elections. Either...

If recent events are an indicator of anything, it's that the establishment is not some collective entity that seeks to protect the country. The establishment is literally just one man, the COAS. He can sell parts of the country, lose wars, surrender to India, sell citizens for cash, torture &...

I agree with everything you said except the bold. Supporting JI was a bad idea. They delivered in the past during Musharraf's era because the 18th amendment didn't exist and because Musharraf created the local government laws. Now that neither are a reality, supporting JI is as good as voting...

Repavement of roads came from federal funds since Sindh (PPP) refused to spend money on uplifting Karachi, to continue to deprive it and also to turn PTI voters against PTI despite having 18th amendment rights over the province. PTI could not legally do much, but even still took federal funds to...

I blame everyone. Establishment and PPP are a reality that won't change. Karachiites need to adapt or they will get swept under the rug. Tell me, how many times has MQM sided with PPP and what did it get for Karachi? It sided with PPP in 2008 and watched quietly as Zardari gradually took away...

This is the fault of Karachiites. What did they think they were going to achieve by supporting JI over PTI? It has no clout, no presence in the center. At least PTI was able to redirect federal funds towards districts in Karachi. JI won't even have money or control to do anything. Their purpose...

These are all the same excuses made to hide their incompetence. The IMF will give loans as long as Pakistan meets conditions. The recent budget by Ishaq Dar still shows populist measures, hiked salaries for government workers, politicians, defense budget, etc. While the country is at the verge...
