Hi,
Thank you for putting those names up---.
The countries are EARTHWORM countries---have no impact on military standings---.
Turkey declared war on Germany in 1945 february---. They were hurt bad in the first world war.
If Turkey had the power that pakistan has---it would be a different nation.
I have stated many a times---pakistanis see themselves as innocent children---" don't bother us---we don't bother anyone "---and these children have no clue what powers they yield---.
Pakistan has close to two hundred nuc weapons---it is military super power of the region---. It is the 7th or 8th most militarily powerful nation of the world---and yet its citizens act like WEAKLINGS---.
For that very reason---I am a firm believer that most of the WARRIOR MUSLIM CLANS OF THE SUB CONTINENT were decimated by the british east india company after they took control of the sub continent some 200 years + ago---.
And many of the remaining were killed during the 1947 partition---. Some warrior clans who escaped from the british hid in the jungles of punjab---many were sold out to the british by the current Multani Landlords---.
The lower caste converted muslims took the names of the warring caste and acted like them---but the genetic make up was not the same---and every time---a military crisis looms on the country---they become active against the welfare of Pakistan.
You should be ashamed and embarrassed to give the examples of the weakest countries staying out of war and then PRANCING and STRUTTING over your examples.
Israel---a weakling nation in 1967---its very existence depended on victories in war---.
Britain a financially broke nation after the Napoleone war---declared wars thru its proxy in a different world---africa---sub continent and other parts of asia---.
And those countries you mentioned---the reason they did not go to war was to make money from war---thru refugees who rushed to these countries and transferred their wealth to those countries.
Again---I am concerned at the mind set of the pakistanis---to claim themselves to be equal in strength with the weakest nations of europe rather than those making decisions of power positioning and getting the rewards---.
What a defeatist mindset and thought---.
You think short term. Acting as a mercenary today would bring in chump change. Some much needed stability for 20-30 years and realising our economic potential would lead to a situation where we can dictate terms in the future. People will plan around us, not the other way around.
You have to realise your own position before you act rashly. A country teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, lacking a true national identity, void of a sense of civic duty, full of weak leaders at best and out right enemies of the state at worst. You act like we're a superpower.
Who is Pakistani in our country? Most are Muslim first, or Shia first or sunni first, or ethnically Arab or ethnically Persian, or they're Sindhi, Punjabi, baloch or pukhtun. The rest are liberals, Conservative, socialist, lawyer or doctor - but nobody seems to be Pakistani. Foreign powers dictate our foreign policy, our economic policy, our political identity. Our leadership class looks outside the country for influence, and support. Foreign cash is stuffed into the pockets of our media, politicians and so called social activists. Do you think a country like this can play at the big boys table? The last time we tried 80,000 were killed by suicide bombers; and this was whilst the state was sniffing around looking for scraps off the big boys table.
We overhype our military capabilities because compared to the incompetence of every other pillar of state they look like supermen. Let's have a reality check. How many foreign agencies openly operate in our country? At war since 2002, has our Intel improved? Who keeps bombing quetta and how? We setup all these networks initially but them we didn't put down our dogs when they were rabid. They reaked havoc before we stopped them. How long does it take to get vital security info nationwide? Does our police have a national crime database? Integrated it systems? Trained officers? Intelligence led policing? Who crossed our borders? Where does our timber go? How does our Atta get smuggled? Why are there videos of convoys of fuel smugglers but nobody stopping them? How does the opium, guns and explosives get in? Our borders are not secure - we are vulnerable.
If we went into Yemen, Iran would activate the Shia militias it controls inside Pakistan. We'd have faced a Shia version of the TTP.
We sat by and watched as they built contacts with our criminals (Uzair Baloch). We sat and watched as they facilitated our enemies (Kulbushan). We sat and watched as they recruited terrorists (to fight in Syria/Iraq). We've failed to secure our border with them (still unfenced).
Yet you want to fight a war against them in Yemen for cash, whilst we leave our own home unprotected. This is a massive political and military failure of our state. We can't give people an opportunity to exploit it.
The way forward for us, I'd to start with basic competence at home. Secure our borders, crush the enemy within, built capability, build a society with an identity - educate our people. Build a robust economy and then try to play the games.
and if by any chance PAF gets it, than F-35's will become docile in Indian Mindset ..
