Why are we still sleeping?!!!
God knows how many Chinese are travelling in and out of Pakistan at this very moment. Many are going to come back after their new year ends. Many Pakistani students are in China, they travel back and forth.
First case has already be reported in Multan.
Chinese...
"several steps" = no single definitive action that would baffle the US.
"some action" = not clear as to what can be done.
The language this new guy is using in somewhat toned down and not as fiery and provocative as some other Iranian officials. Probably he's realizing that Iranians have taken...
1. Soeimani will not be easily replaced. This was an exceptionally capable and experienced man who has been in the role since 1998 and, essentially, functioned as an intelligence chief, a diplomat, a military strategist and a field operator all at once.
He also has an incredible aura and...
I have a feeling that just like Soleimani's killing has united all inside Iran, the world outside Iran is low key united as in everybody low key wants Iran to be spanked real hard for its long list of misadventures in the ME. Offcourse this excludes the guillable Muslims who still think that...
We should close the border so that Iran's proxies don't have free space to move.
Also, Pakistan can't afford a US drone strike on Pakistani territory under the pretext that Iranian militants were being targeted. That doesn't fare well for Pakistan.
I'm still not sure that Iranian officials are acting all macho because they really mean business or they just want to appease the public.
What revenge they talk about? You kill one yankee they'll come for ten of you. They're waiting that you just make one mistake..you just slip and they'll go...
It needs some special kind of intellectual dishonesty to deny that Solemani was single handedly responsible for butchering hundreds of thousands of Sunni Muslims in Syria. How can we forget the cries and tears from Aleppo, Raqqa, Mosul and Idlib? Those poor innocent sunni civilians that were...
As a Pakistani, I agree with your analysis. Unfortunately, many Pak folks are blinded by nationalism and keep their eyes wide shut to the harsh realities. I personally think the only thing keeping us from calling shots in the world today is the pathetic and screwed economy. And unlike the Arabs...
One cannot deny Iran's ability to stir up trouble and make headlines BUT you are simply not thinking two steps ahead. What about the reaction that Iran will have to face from both the Arabs and the Yanks? What about Iran's own infrastructure/refineries/military installations? What would stop the...
Don't know what u're thinking about Iran's economy/refineries in this calculus. They will be the first to be hit by the US and Arabs if Iran uses this 'Trump Card'.
Iran can barely sustain escalation and is handcuffed due to failing economy. Hitting any high value oil target will instantly draw...
