India is the check to Pakistan, Donald Trump declares

Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump isn't known for pulling any punches—even when it comes to international diplomacy, it appears.
On an American radio show on Monday, Trump called Pakistan "probably the most dangerous" country in the world today, adding that the only country that can "check" Pakistan is India.
Pakistan is "a serious problem" because they have nuclear weapons that work and "a lot of them," just like North Korea and its "mad man," Trump explained.
It wasn't enough that he clubbed Pakistan with North Korea. "India is the check to Pakistan," continued Trump, adding insult to Pakistan's injury. "You have to get India involved... They have their own nukes and have a very powerful army. They seem to be the real check.... "I think we have to deal very closely with India to deal with it (Pakistan)," said Trump, about his foreign policy goals.

Trump has been criticized by some for lacking depth or being ignorant about national and international issues. When he didn't answer a question about whether he would send troops to Pakistan to take their nukes he quickly defended himself. "This is nothing to do with lack of knowledge, by the way, I know as much about Pakistan as other people," he said. The real reason he wouldn't answer, he said, is because he doesn't want people to know his intentions. "You want to have a little bit of guess work for the enemy."
Alongside Pakistan, North Korea's Kim Jong-un also came in for special mention by Trump. "You have a mad man over in North Korea who actually has nukes and says he's going to use them; he pops up every two weeks and he says he's going to use them," Trump said.

These are blanket statements, for publicity purposes. You don't become one of the greatest entrepreneurs by being a fool.

I get the impression that Mr. Trump is a straightforward person and not a seasoned politician. He doesn't shy away from expressing his opinion about sensitive matters even if they may alienate some. However, I don't expect him to be an irresponsible President (if elected).

To be honest, I would rather give my vote to a straightforward person with reasonable goals then a seasoned politician who is good at deceiving the masses.


I think that you underestimate toughness of Iraqi people way too much. Iraq have fought several wars and Iraqi people are battle-hardened to the core on average as a consequence. Veteran Iraqi soldiers, in particular, are highly trained professionals on average and capable tacticians; they formed the bulk of Iraqi resistance movement in the 21st century against US forces, and they now form the bulk of ISIS-led caliphate movement (as unfortunate as this may sound). ISIS's tremendous gains on the ground are not based on luck factor.

At one time, Saddam Hussein made it mandatory for every able Iraqi to join military and fight on the front. Due to this policy, around 60% of Iraqi populace had been mobilized for fighting a war.

However, wars eventually destroy or harm nations involved. This is a lesson that never gets old in history.

Iraq's downfall began with Gulf War (1991). In those days, Iraq fielded a large (battle-hardened) military capability, the nation itself was galvanized by a general sense of preparedness for any eventuality (machoism and martialism) and Iraqi leadership felt confident about influencing Middle Eastern politics with its martial prowess. Invasion of Kuwait was an example. Unfortunately for Iraq, its policy-makers underestimated the resolve of US to protect its interests in the Middle East and GCC states were willing to assist it in this endeavor as a trade-off for their security against potential adversaries in the region. Moreover, US was prepared to fight a large-scale conflict in any setting at that time. Iraq bad-timed.

Pakistan have come a long way since 1960s. A large segment of the Pakistani populace is now urbanized and accustomed to wealth and luxuries. You expect this segment to be battle-hardened? You are deluding yourself. Keeping a gun in a home doesn't makes you a professional or battle-ready. Some tribes in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are the (only) groups who have first-hand experience and exposure to war-like situations in the main populace. There are other armed groups but far from reliable. Pakistani military is the most reliable front-line of defense against external threats; if its gone, then God help Pakistan.


Brother I apologise if I came across as being offensive. That was not my attention. I love my fellow Muslim Iraqi brothers and sisters as much as I do Pakistani brothers and sisters. I love the Ummah. I was merely trying to emphasize the point that what a determined and patriotic people are capable of doing to the world's most powerful and advanced military. Thanks to the display of the Iraqi resistance, the americans were reluctant to invade Iran and Pakistan.
