LHC & IHC will bail out PML-N, SHC will bail out PPP. Imran Khan made a huge mistake in his first speeches. He thought that if you take away PML-N & PPP, everything will become great in Pakistan. Little does he know that judiciary are also extremely corrupt, same goes for bureaucracy, and even...

Brilliant generals made another blunder by introducing tactical nuclear weapons like NASR. The whole point of nuclear deterrent is to impose ghastly consequences on India in case they try to split Pakistan in half by nuking cities like Mumbai, etc. Incredibly smart generals in establishment...

Instead of leaving India entirely, perhaps it might be good idea for Muslims to move to Muslim-majority areas inside India? That way you will not be spread too thin to defend yourselves. I have some distant family there, they have told me that Muslims have no issues in Muslim-dominated areas...

I would disagree with this. Pakistan does have a LOT to prove. The yields in the nuclear tests were very low and the method of testing multiple weapons simultaneously was not a good idea. Please read this (https://fas.org/nuke/guide/pakistan/nuke/). Other seismic monitoring stations dispute the...

Another point I should make is that if Pakistan successfully tests a hydrogen bomb, it can sell the idea of nuclear umbrella to Saudi & GCC countries. This may help bring in a lot of economic aid from these countries that are right now freaking out now that the west is turning on them...

I know there are some future plans to have UCAV for SEAD roles, destroy enemy SAM batteries. Problem is that this idea was not difficult to implement. Just take a look at Iran. It's cheap and easy to manufacture, but extremely cost-effective. It can even be done right now.

Currency devaluation, reducing imports were necessary regardless of whoever is in charge of the economy. Issue is - and before you shoot me, just know I support Imran Khan (not necessarily PTI as a whole) - not enough is being done. The recent budgets they have passed are now giving tax amnesty...

It is definitely drastic and at a bad time, will invite sanctions to an already crumbling economy. However, if India initiates a war, then your economy is going to plummet either way. So if you are going to test, you might as well go BIG. You should do what North Korea threatened to do, test an...

A little more than 200 days have passed since the PTI took over reins of the country in the midst of the worst economic crisis. It inherited multiple deficits that were allowed to surpass levels that are enough to run any economy to the ground. This article broadly lays out the significant...

currency devaluation is a tool export-oriented countries use to make their exports more competitive. Take China for example, "President Donald Trump has previously accused China of keeping its currency weak to make exports more competitive. ... Beijing's lack of transparency and the recent...

This is really key here. If investors come up to take advantage of lower costs, the results can be highly favorable. Currently we have many people unemployed struggling to buy items. Yes, inflation is there, but it's everywhere too. Difference is that other countries, people can cope due to...

Here is some of what I wrote on another thread. Currency devaluation is a common tool for increasing exports. The question is, will Pakistan increase productivity to take advantage of this?

Yep, I used to be staunch GHQ supporter until the OBL raid opened my eyes. Till this day, no one really knows what happened, was (1)GHQ in secret agreement with US? If so, nothing came out of it years later and certain generals involved brought irreparable damage to this country or (2)Did US...

Minorities were allowed to live in Madinah, under the peace and protectorate of the muslims. That does not mean that it was a secular state. Some of my family migrated from India on the basis of Islam, they also left East Pakistan as it became Bangladesh on the basis of Islam. They did not do...

Just found an interesting article focusing on the US Military strategy to defeat A2/AD strategy of China/Russia, etc. "Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley and other U.S. military leaders, such as now-retired Adm. Harry B. Harris, the former head of Pacific Command, have previously stated...

Quite impressive for the US Army to be able to come up with offensive counter strategy to A2/AD. Essentially US is going back to "island-hopping" strategy of WWII - Pacific, except with missiles and long ranged artillery! I feel the one big issue remains, AShBM like DF-21, DF-26 which force...

I think Pakistan should be more worried about producing JF-17 to meet its own dire needs rather than producing for exports. IAF is right next door with superior quantity & quality of jets and here Pakistan is worried about meeting needs of Azerbaijan?

India is building/acquiring/has already done the following: 4-7 Arihant class SSBN 6 S5 class SSN 1 Akula class SSN on lease 6 Kalvari class subs 6 Project 75I class subs 2 Aircraft carriers (1 under construction + 1 planned) 1 Aircraft carrier already in service 4 Destroyers 7 Project 17A...

I think the idea some members are suggesting, regarding drone swarms armed with improvised bombs, is a great idea. Pakistan should learn something from these ragtag groups fighting throughout the middle east, and improvise. One doesn't necessarily need the best, game-changing, weapon to change...

I struggle to understand why Balochistan within Pakistan suffers from these kinds of attacks, whereas Balochistan within Iran is relatively more peaceful, despite Iran being much more harsh to the population living on its side? Why is Chabahar port better linked up by rail/road than Gwadar? Why...
