Indian deal on key Iranian port a potential check on China’s regional ambitions

[MimophantSlayer]

Yah, war torn poor Afghanistan is Pakistan's second biggest export destination? Use google next time, not indiot-pedia.

@Han Patriot
Your point is..........?

Wow, why don't you add a few more smileys that'll drive home the point and not make people think you are insufferable troll.

Here, I googled.

Well, if Pakistan increased tariffs, of course the trade will shift to Iran, and it is not specifically Chabahar. It's a market economy, if Gwadar can provide cheaper alternatives, then it will go back to Gwadar. Just business bhai.

If its that easy then why not do it already?

Lol, its not a market controled condition that is dampening Afghan-pak trade.
Its geopolitics, I already provided you the video of both pak and afghan head honchos discussing it.
It was your choice to ignore it.

The crux of the matter is, if you could have done it you would have already.
Why wait for India to capitalise.

Everything else is just hoping against hope.

The main point is Indians are harping this as a 'strategic' bulwark against Gwadar not Pakistan specifically. They think with this port they can contain China. So you invest hundreds of millions for a 1.5 years lease to send grain and fruits to an impoverished country? Just to prove you are a 'player' in Afgahnistan, that you are a supa powa?


This is indiot strategy, emotion driven, face driven, not brain driven. Iran is a close Chinese ally, they depend on Chinese assistance for nukes and military equipment. They are a node in our OBOR, Chabahar is planned to be linked to Gwadar. You seem to think Iran is your vassal state? Are you delusional of something? Do you think Iran will allow you to use the port against China? They are basically milking the Indian cow while stroking your supa powa ego as usual. Just use your brain. Iranian nuclear talks involved China, not India OK.

You seem to assume soooo much, are you a diplomat or do you have degree in International relations?
Or maybe its just hopeful denial.

Not yet no.
Its a slow process, but yeah eventually we do think a US, India, Iran bulwark will contain China.

You think things will remain the same for your convenience?

No one thinks Iran is beholden to us, get off your chinese cool aid once in a while.

Hey I have no problem if you wanna spend hundreds of millions for 1.5 years selling subsidized grain to an impoverished nation while your population starves man.. Only an indiot is oblivious to the Iranians stroking Indian supa powa ego and milking the holy gaumata.

It seems that you do, or else why would you go through to trouble of putting all those smileys as if to overcompensate for the fact that you cannot digest the truth.

Also, do get off that soapbox.
I don't wanna hear about "state subsidising while population starves" rhetoric from a chinese communist.
You lot started the trend we are just a new comer. LOL
Hypocrisy much.

If the GOI is so competent, it would have known how to store grain and distribute it properly ok. Stop equating yourselves like some sort of determined, efficient supa powa. China is that country not slumdog India ok.

Oh yeah grain wastage is such an accurate indicator of superpower status. LOL strawman much.

Does it matter if we are wasting food?
All it matters is if we can provide Afghanistan with enough to further improve our soft power status.

Stop diverting from the subject.

No AFG

So much stupid in one country.

This is the sea leg. The transport corridor has itself has routes. Again, out of your depth here.

Exhibit B of someone who cannot formulate a sentence:

You should check your state.

Stay in school.

Sunshine, they are both the same. And the original route is not through Afghanistan. They are a beneficiary. And they can still get a transit route to CAR, Iran is enough to reach CAR.

Irrelevant.

NSTC routes transit through Afghanistan. Cry.

Irrelevant.

NSTC routes transit through Afghanistan. Cry.

I guess you should get your eyes checked before asking others to cry.

Afghan Route of INSTC is just an enhancement rather extension not the main route as proposed. Afghanistan is not even a member nation of INSTC, let alone a route passing through them. LOL

Do care to read the details of the member nations from your own source. And the official website of INSTC from Iran.

Above all;

Pakistan Considering Joining North-South Transport Corridor Project - Ambassador

Ain't that hilarious when it comes from your own Ambassador ???????

Now you can sit back and Cry as much you want since it is going to be a reality very soon. LOL

^^ Explained your ignorance correctly.

Irrelevant.
