Mike Pompeo phones COAS Qamar Bajwa, talks about Gen Soleimani’s killing

[gangsta_rap]

He was a hands on guy. He was instrumental at pushing back ISIS when they right on baghdad by personally fighting on the front line.

Both US and Iranians have been coexisting in Iraq.

which is weird right? it almost seemed surreal seeing both countries achieve their respective goals a few years ago and this happens. damn...

 

[Areesh]

our people whom are more iranians then iranians and more arabs then arabs themselves give chance . can these guys operate in denmark or vaitnam ? no they can't

Still it isn't justification for Iran to interfere in other countries

yes. Frankly this was uncalled for but it has let off gloves to green light to take each others high ranking officials.

Pakistan, Russia and the usa have been involved in Afghanistan but you never see their generals carrying out clandestine ops personally on the front lines. Very sloppy...

America is preparing to escalate the Iran conflict after the recent tit for tat.

They need to ensure Pakistan provides space to counter any attack on Iran.

US don't need our bases to hit targets in Iran, they will need airspace and ground facilities for spec ops units most probably.

We get our chaddis on fire just because USA secretary of state called our COAS

Can anyone tell me who gave right to this Quds force to interfere in Pakistan?

Shias of Pakistan. Go meet Shias in Parachinar and in Karachi. Pretty sure you will find a lot of them more sympathetic to Iran than Pakistan , just like a lot of deobandis and wahhabis of Pakistan are sympathetic to arab nations than Pakistan.

Not advocating for Iran here but what exactly is the US doing with its bases around the world?

That is why he has had a cult like following, he was right there vs being a pencil pusher. Down to earth personality as well.
Look, it is about faith in himself and God. He was never afraid of dying. During the fighting with ISIS he was injured.

OurDanda must do bigger, blunter and harsher talking...

That's all very fine, but we need to develop such a 'danda' first.

You can't go around all bluster and breathing fire and brimstone when your actual capabilities to follow through on your threats are nowhere near what they need to be.

He basically called in said.

HA HA We did with Soleimani what you couldnt do with Rawat (Indian chief-on feb 27th)

Yeah, when you're the strongest (economic, cultural, technological and military) super power the world has EVER seen, you can usually get away with doing things others would hesitate to.

Let's not fool ourselves - the US as a global power can probably take on the entire world on its own and still scrap out a victory. Taking on Iran militarily is a piece of cake in terms of destroying the country - they have no need to occupy it like Iraq or Afghanistan.

These things don't require justification. In national interest, there are no lies , no truths , no rationality and no justification. You do what you want to do.

Pompeo has not mentioned the reaction of General Bajwa.

Correct. The only way to be safe is to develop nukes that can verifiable reach mainland and ensure turns the whole country into dust. Either you have that capability or you just live at the mercy of US.

 

[k s ahmed]

we should refrain from taking these type of phone calls.iran will consider us enemy and they are very angry right now.pakistan should stay away.involvement in this mess means consequences.

So what do we say ? "No sorry , wrong number. "

Yep.

Perhaps this needs to be taught in our schools, that global power dynamics, irrespective of the lip service paid to the United Nations and talk about 'democracy of nations' and what not, are basically still those of a Feudal society. The biggest, baddest, strongest Sardar/Zamindar has the power and there is no 'police force' strong enough to stop the Sardar from doing whatever he wants, nor is the Sardar every going to let a police force that strong ever be created.

The best one can do is focus on not attracting too much negative attention from the Sardar and chip away at improving and strengthening ourselves to where we can at least deter the Sardar from attacking us.
