I'm going to disagree with this. Pakistan does not need a defense treaty with Iran. Despite peace overtures, Iran has backstabbed Pakistan. They support the Baloch militants, attacks in Balochistan, with the aim of preventing Gwadar from succeeding against Chabahar and to lure Chinese...

There used to be a time when the establishment transcended the whims of a few individuals and worked for national interests such as the nuclear weapons program. This is not the case anymore. The establishment is only one man, the COAS. If he capitulates to foreign interests, then so does...

Looks like some Pakistanis are finally starting to use their brains. They figured out that attending these jalsas for temporary financial benefit isn't good. Even some intelligent animals like crows have demonstrated foregoing less desirable food in exchange for waiting for better food.

They pay people to attend rallies to justify election result anomalies. They will rig elections and when people will complain, they will point to the size of these jalsas as proof that the masses desire Nawaz Sharif.

Karachipur is closer to Gilgit than Karachi.

Crackdown yields $900m surplus in a month: ECAP KARACHI: The ongoing crackdown against illegal forex trading and smuggling has so far yielded up to $900 million surplus in the open market which was deposited in banks, said currency dealers. Currency dealers said the much-needed administrative...

I'm getting sick of Muslims showing off their worship. Whether it's Tiktok videos of them praying or selfies at the Ka'ba, it's dangerously floating near "ri'ya" which is minor shirk.

Something just feels off about this. Seeing those Palestinians parachuting from the air, managing such a large scale attack, abducting a bunch of people in a country that has one of the best intelligence agencies on the planet and is monitored 24/7 with advanced technology. Really? I know their...

Can you see the hypocrisy here? Israel bombs Palestinian civilians with impunity. That's all kosher? The western militaries had no qualms bombing civilians in WWII, nuking two cities in Japan. No issues with morality? Why the double standards here? As far as I see here, Palestinians faced the...

India also had decades of protectionist policies that cultivated local industries such as steel, automotive, engineering, etc. So when Indian economy opened up to international trade, the local industries were well-established enough to handle it. The same policies worked for China, who...

Pesticide would be an essential import. Problem solved. Fertilizer is already available through local producers. Perhaps Fauji Fertilizer can spin off Fauji Pesticides?

IMO Pakistan has to shut down non-essential imports, leaving only oil, gas, and raw materials for exports. It should use import substitution to ween itself off imports. If there are no existing local producers, than it can create local by forcing companies to produce local alternatives. For...

Trade with China drove up imports, destroyed businesses, and increased smuggling. Trade with India will do much worse. Pakistani businessmen are stupid. They can't compete on the international level. Indian products will crush them and eliminate whatever local production exists. Only trade with...

Did Bajwa resist Imran Khan's instructions on responding to Indian aggression on the February incident? Did Bajwa pressure Imran Khan to start talks with India? Did Bajwa or Munir prevent retaliation for the "accidental" Brahmos launch? Why don't you explain to us how Bajwa sold Pakistan to...

And why would the Chinese give audience to a convict who isn't in government? That seems to be out of protocol.

It's been done time and time again. The establishment has no built-in mechanism to remove a rogue COAS, because the COAS is the establishment. Chain of command is preserved at all costs, even if that cost includes losing Pakistan or half of it in 1971. Only time the chain of command goes out...

Not as pathetic as the Pakistan Army and the top brass who have led it. Their losing record remains unbeaten.

So they didn't even touch him? They could have at least dragged him out and beaten him. How pathetic. Pakistanis really are useless.

All I know is that these generals failed Pakistan in East Pakistan, Kashmir, and now against TTP despite building a border wall and having a so-called friendly Kabul without Indian consulates. I'm not sure about the old generation of babus, but I'm sure young educated civilians can do this job...
