Which country do you believe enjoys the best geopolitical position?

[DESERT FIGHTER]

whats the point ? That pakistan has the best location ?

Isnt thtat what this thread is all about?

Look truthfully, i do acknowledge the good position you guys have.. But just land boundaries do not count. What matters is trade

Economic corridor is being built with China (we already have the 8th wonder of the world Korakoram Highway)..

Links with central asia aswell.. (we have a Motorway running from Torkham to Karachi).

Indus Highway n Motorway connecting Iranian border with the rest of the country).

Pak and Tajikistan are imploring to build a highway through Wakhan Corridor (20 km) from Dushanbe to Korakoram highway..

And you need NAVAL power which is inexistent for you guys !

And who is going to stop us? a naval blockade by india isnt even possible now...

Ok lets assume thre are no conflicts and everywhere its peaceful, then i would say Turkey, why?
Because Turkey is neighboring Europe on West, Russia on north, ME and Africa on south and Central Asia on east, its the crossread of civilisations and holding the strategic straits of Bosphorus and Dardanelles.
Its position becomes more clear if we look at the map, 8% of globally traded good are passing Turkish territory every day.

That's a sane answer dude.
If interconnection parameters, are taken into consideration, there can't be found any real challenge for Turkey to earn the best geopolitical position.
But speaking frankly, I must say, not accessing free waters (oceans, ...) is such a blind spot for Turkey, that can't be neglected easily.

Switzerland and Turkey.


Don't just vote for your country for the sake of it. Tell us why.

don't you saw the list??? He meant in those countries. .. lol

Mongolia is the worst. Flat terrain and it borders china and russia. Lol

I disagree with India, in traditional sense Indian Geography is cramped; this means that its natural land routes with other regions and hence energy corridors with other resource rich regions etc are in other countries(Pakistan, china) while its terrain is overpopulated(means energy hungry if high GDP per capita is required). But this can be changed by sea energy routes in future etc.

india can go to central Asia through Iran & if Pakistan don't allow us Afghanistan wont allow Pakistan, as for Indian population india still one of the most fertile land on planet cause of its location

Pakistan don't border east Asia & India being the biggest country & economy will dominate Indian ocean no matter what, Pakistan will just be a puppet of US & china like always to contain india

You are like a chest thumping monkey man...

You are doing USAs bidding to against China not us..

Our economy is improving.. n we were/are in economic crisis due to a war.. do you think the stagnancy will remain forever? .. Just a few years back we were doing much better than most of our neighbours .. in the 60s n 80s we were an economic power house..

After a dark night there is a bright morning.. Nations face difficulties and over come them... we are a resilient nation.. a hard country...

But somehow they are one of the most democratic and free countrys in Asia.

Keep crapping the thread with your idiotic posts ! I already said that land trade is good but its the sea trade which matters the most.

And lets just say indian navy can't do a naval blockade. Does it automatically make you a trade hub ? what kind of retarded logic is that !

The sea trade can be monitored and modulated by India ! And the trade route through karakoram ? Huh ? just because one country builds a highway makes it a super position ?

Think about the trade which other south east asian countries are doing .. they are also gonna grow a lot in future. Who will control their trade ? Its india !

 

[Pakistani till death]

Pakistan
It is the gateway to central asia, china, india
Also it is close to the middle east and far east. Lies in one of the busiest sea routes

 

[EternalJives]

Of the mentioned countries I think it should be Turkey - It straddles both Asia and Europe, shares maritime boundary with Egypt (Africa), is an important regional power especially following the unrest in the neighbouring middle east, lies on an important trade route and has the power (though it hasn't realized it yet!) to assert its influence over a vast array of neighbouring countries.
A close second would be India.

Im sure india is much richer than NATO..

P.S:Why is the indian govt asking Pak to give it route to afghanistan when you can go through chabahar (for which you will have to cross or by pass Pakistan)..

gateway to china is pakistan ?

And son gateway to india is through sea. Only camel jockeys would think of travelling to India through pakistan

 

[gau8av]

unfortunately, 'best Geopolitical situation' basically means a country that is the most favored nation/ally of the US

so from the listed options, they probably see China as the biggest "threat" and would like to use India to counter it

I guess

we follow independent policy in our national interest unlike Pakistan always a slave to US & china

only a fool like Pakistani think India & china will go to war

your economy wont ever match India & u will remain a puppet of US & china, keep dreaming of dominating Indian ocean
