This was expected, wasn't it? The failure of regional powers in action to stop the Taliban and other militant agencies has forced the United States to stay back. In fact, it would have been foolish of anyone to think that the Americans would so easily withdraw. All the withdrawals of Americans...

That is a positive news to here considering that the Indians are significantly contributiing even though not with their own troops. Training a nation's army is a long and tedious process that requires commitments from both countries involved. Apart from receiving the adequate training, this...

Just pray that this doesn't happen. It will become a hot war if multiple bombings go all over United States and it would be a hell of time for the immigrants of Pakistani origin to explain themselves or the actions of these militants. These militants will not strike fear in the United States but...

Now that's some news! Brazilians picked a French fighter over American! I was expecting Super Hornet to win this deal because of the influence Washington has over Brazilian policies and the latter's alignment. Seems like the French got a breakthrough after their desperation to sell off the...

To Indian members here: Very impressive military I must say. There are very few militaries worldwide who are as multi-mission capable as yours around the world, combat ready in almost any geographical terrain be it a desert, mountains, marshy plains, coastal defense or any other terrain that I...

But from what the Jane's tells, weren't you a special customer of Russian fighters earlier? They are cheap as well as combat proven. I don't intend to criticize the Sino-Pakistani design or the Indian one, but both are relatively new and unfamiliar platforms as compared to the MiG-35 or the...

Russian equipment would be far cheaper as compared to their own weapons and helos. This was a rather wise decision of the cash-strung United States government. I would go to the extent that Afghanistan should consider further alternative sources that are even cheaper like China and perhaps...

Afghans are siding with the NATO for your information rather than propaganda YouTube videos that you watch. Their nation was a hell under Taliban who deserve the worst possible death at the hands of a democratic Afghan government for manhandling Afghan nationals. Too bad you are trying to...

Actually if you see this from a strategic perspective, it is not. United States might seem to gain momentarily in Afghanistan for impressing Pakistani government and perhaps warming the relationship with Chinese government but in the end they will lose any strategic relevance to the Indians...

And what makes you think that was not a big possibility? Fear? Apprehension? Soviets had neither as a world superpower then. On becoming an SSR, education system was made in Russian language, the children were taught Soviet curriculum that had no place for any religious studies. Any religious...

Jews are spread over a much lesser set of ethnicities than your faith is and apart from that you are more than a billion. So naturally it is hard to speak in the same voice. Besides, today's countries are run by economics and realpolitik unlike centuries ago where religion dictated state...

Well, that's a good thing for Nepali nationals isn't it? There are so many countries that are defined by their identities. Nepal has been a Hindu state earlier; what is the harm now? Secularism is a political state whereas a Hindu state is an identity; No harm in implementing it as long as...

So your Air Force manages its affairs different from your Government? That's equal to mutinying and desertion.

Goodness! You are the first perhaps Pakistani on this forum who agrees the Israeli issue to be a bi-lateral and therefore internal matter being a game of tit-for-tat. :lol: Now perhaps the discussion can move beyond "common religion","brotherhood", "nazi terrorists", "arrival of the Caliphate"...

To all, Secularism means separating state from religion; not atheism. Turkey is the best example of secularism for Muslims. I am aware of the regard people here have for Turkey. Have they turned atheists? I don't think so.

Please remind him of the massacre of your Kashmiri pandit communities at the hands of Islamic fundamentalists that took place. I am aware of this due to my wife belonging to the region as well as numerous NGO reports. Unfortunately, most members here are religiously myopic.

He has a point, you know. A military base isn't supposed to be captured by a militant group---as in, it is made in such a way that it is not overpowered by any terrorist or a threat to the military base. Whether it is weapons or personnel, the whole point of a base is to be an outpost in regions...

Dear lady, can you clarify a query for me? Considering that you have both civilian and military nuclear facilities in your country at the moment as well, who has been so far supplying you the radioactive fuel? I trust it must be the Chinese for strategic reasons such as secrecy. If that is the...

Having read a thread on the same topic in the Pakistani section concerning Americans to ignore this nuclear deal, when this article mentioned Europe, I have a gut feeling that the famed MMRCA contract which is really the bone for all countries participating will come to Europe. Whether Germany...

As a European and as a non-Muslim, I can agree that Soviet Communism is certainly better than today's Afghanistan. Now ask this same question to the people of this forum who start talking about religion at the drop of a hat. Really!?? Wow! Judging by the amount of religion-centric outlook...
