Trump Plans India Visit Now That China Trade Deal Is Inked

Really, I guess they didn't get the memo. They're probably still under the impression that they had a right to decide for themselves.

That's okay, he made the TIME's cover with other Leaders that matter.

Putin and XI aren't on that cover. Does that mean they are irrelevant?
The fact is Trump has apparently chosen India as his first South Asian visit. That was the point of this thread before it got hopelessly derailed.
 
Surely, only an idiot would lunge into war without regard to economics. We are not living in dark ages anymore. This is not 7th century, you pick up your sword and run towards your enemy. No amount of Hadiths would help if you did that.


Exactly, Modi gave ultimatum, Imran obliged. Simple.

Yes, money matters. But just because you have $400 billion in reserves won't make you invincible. With that scale, there's also the scale of debt, and other expenses.

Then the obvious thing that you cannot turn liquid money into instant weaponry. In 21st century, wars between countries will last days or months, not years.

What matters is your reserves dedicated for combat.
 
Let me summarise his bullshit.

"Wait and see."

Yes, great argument. Definitely.
But isn't it true that we are leapfrogging your country in every way possible, making it hard for you to catch up without repercussions in your own land.
 
Neither.
According to Geneva Convention, a prisoner has to be handed over. We did our bit.

You did yours by shooting down your own chopper.

Lol. You were pretty haste in doing that. Modi said we want our pilot in 2 days. Imran delivered him the next day. Good boy Imran.

Your friend was the first to derail it.

So someone got raped and that someone is happy that he demanded the condom that was used and he got it.

Thats why I quoted budget figures not just reserves. These are liquid cash. $900 billion vs $35 billion. That's why no one will side with you (war or no war).
 
When it comes to Kashmir and Pakistan, the collective voices of the right, left and what's left in between allign. As does the multitude of ethnicities and sub-cultures that constitute the Indian Union. As rightly pointed out by the other Indian poster, we are getting stronger by the day. This is something that should cause you sleepless nights..

Yet it's you guys who run to USA, Europe to block and complain about military sales, or to Sri Lanka among other nations to suppress ideas of JF-17 thunder sale.

So really, who's the one here having sleepless nights, buddy.

If you guys were getting stronger by the day, your Military/Politicians wouldn't be blaming Pakistan for sponsoring the unrest taking place on the streets of India.

Even if one was to entertain the idea that Pakistan had influence in Kashmir, do you expect anyone to believe that we've covered the rest of Indian States where there is unrest. If that's true...: Shouldn't you guys be worrying about the sleepless nights?
 
They're alreay free with their own president and parliament.
If that is called freedom then India has to take back many more privileges which are already granted to Kashmiris on our side.
 
A country has bargaining space the size of its wallet ... I hope you understand

What was the size of Pakistan's wallet during CENTO, SEATO, Afghan wars? When Uncle Sam needs to use you, you become important. Of course it doesn't hurt that they can earn a few $$$ from you guys while at it.

Hint: Did you forget Obama's East Asia pivot?

In GDP per Capita the supa powa stands at rank 120 ($7762) while we stand at rank 132 ($5567)(2018, IMF figures), not a big difference in wallet. I hope you understand!

Budget figures, lol. Will you put $900 billion BUDGET figure on war?
