To each, his own, no one needs a certificate from you or anyone else for their 'Muslimness'... so thanks but no thanks.

I am merely making an observation on the comments in general that I came across in this post. An observation born out of frustration since I was expecting to find some meaningful and insightful discussion on the develeopments; but what I found was akin to children bashing each other with...

Nothing like some late evening Raki and on more sophisticated occasions, some Kapadokyan wine :)

You will see.. The game has just begun. Your obvious fatalistic approach to world politics is quite sad. Russia is only at the P5 table cuz of its nukes and pre-World War history & geopolitics. Russia has no 'power' today; except for sabre rattling from behind its nuclear arsenal. China is...

I must beg to ask what have you been smoking.. please oblige and tell us all. As far as history teaches us, the 'mickey mouse poofter country' (your words) of Vietnam actually defeated the world superpower the United States. And another 'mickey mouse poofter country' called Afghanistan...

Russia and China are hardly 'allies'. People here probably don't know what the word 'allies' means. Allies have alliances such as NATO, NORAD, the Five Eyes alliance, etc. The Chinese are smart, they work with Russians when it suits them. On Crimea issue, China actually snubbed Russia by...

Wrong. A referendum is called a referendum for precisely the reason that the voting public is given 2 or 3 explicit options to vote on. Saying, 'oh it was implied' and 'a second referendum would've been held' is just a sad attempt at creating a smokescreen. And a referendum cannot be held...

Who are you really trying to fool? Yanukovich is Putin's patsy. He came to power on the basis of Russian support, especially the Ukrainian elite who allied themselves with the Oligarchs in Moscow and he immediately did Russia's bidding by putting Yulia Tymoshenko on trial to get rid of his...

Are you drunk? Lets explain some things to you. Ukraine's forces were at their peace time levels in the Crimea when this issue started; and because the entire attention was on Kiev and Ukraine did not feel threatened by Russia (because it always enjoyed friendly relations with Moscow and also...

Good news, welcome news. Europe and United States should cripple Russia with sanctions. Lets see how long Putin's ego lasts.

Wow! Tall claims, no evidence. Obviously you must be watching too much Russian state television channels. Democratically elected government of Ukraine was overthrown by the Ukrainian people; violence only occurred when the government cracked down violently on ordinary protesters. If Viktor...

I cannot fathom the childish comments being made here. For people who do not understand what diplomacy is, how it works, how Putin just made a fool of himself and ruined Russia's interests by making the move on Crimea; it would be wise to not jump to conclusions. Uncle Sam will have the last...

That's all nonsense. Even American junk from Afghanistan is more than welcome; this 'military official' clearly has no idea what he's talking about. All the junk will come to Pakistan one way or another to be absorbed by Pakistan's scrap metal industry. Maybe I should show this 'military...

Are people commenting on this thread really that naïve? Have they no information or understanding of world affairs? Russia has signed treaties and agreements in the past to uphold Ukraine's sovereignty and not touch Crimea but now, annexing Crimea is an extremely stupid move by the megalomaniac...

I don't know see how your one-liner comment serves any purpose in this discussion except to flame and provoke. Pakistan has a very good track record of absorbing ToT. Please do some research before making ludicrous insinuations.

Are you serious? The debate over MRAP's effectiveness or cost worthiness is well suited for the American tax-payer since the US Army already has Humvees for which an argument can be made that a reconfigured and heavily armoured Humvee may well be more worthwhile than a MRAP. But where Pakistan...

Yeah, shoddy journalism on the part of the Pakistani journalist who reported the story. The original SIPRI report accurately points out PAF taking deliveries of 42 JF-17s (2009 onwards- the first batch of 8 aircraft is not included since those were test beds and received prior to 2009) and 18...

This is an absolute Godsend! Pakistan Army needs those MRAPs immediately; those Toyota and Mazda pickup trucks are costing unimaginable losses in terms of lives of our jawans in their fight against TTP and other splinter militant outfits. Pakistan should get all the 1,600 vehicles that are in...
