If the US cannot subdue Iraq, what chances does it have with Iran? Don't let the neocons fool you into thinking that Iranians are waiting to be freed from the ayatollahs. Perhaps. But it doesn't mean they want their country to be invaded.

This is the problem with superstates like the EU, you sacrifice sovereignty and independence for unity. Still, Nothing wrong with Chinese or Russian vaccines as long as they complete the approval process.

This lawsuit is a publicity stunt. The case will be thrown out because it will be deemed as frivolous. This group has no standing to sue Al Jazeers on behalf of Bangladesh, especially in US courts.

The situation will have to be really bad if one side or the other starts using tactical and/or strategic weapons. I see nukes as weapons of last resort. The end of the world is pretty much guaranteed if they are used. Nevertheless, that there will be a full-scale war between China/Pakistan and...

India is strong and independent but it was never secular but pseudo-secular. As for being weak, isolated, fascist, and a dictatorship, I find it quite funny a Chinese person would say this given that China is a one-party state. It might be even called a plutocracy given how many billionaires it has.

The whole point of crypto currencies like Bitcoin is to bypass government control, especially its ability to print money at will. In fact, it’s getting more popular by the day. Governments the world over are trying to co-opt cryptocurrencies through either regulation or parroting its...

Mao is spinning in his grave as we speak.

I find it shocking that the UK can simply revoke the citizenship of UK-born Shemima Begum, making her stateless. What a dangerous precedent. Personally, I think the UK government should reconsider for the following reasons: She was a minor when she left Was she involved in actual fighting: does...

Is India the only country propagandizing against Turkey? Erdogan has managed to alienate both the East and West. So his enemies are many. Besides, if Turkey wants to be Pakistan’s ally and oppose India, one should not expect praise. Finally, is India the only one playing the propaganda game?

I’m sure it’s similar to Pakistan celebrating not being placed on FATF black list: a victory that’s not really a victory.

If you want me to say the US immigration system needs to be revamped, then you have my complete agreement. But if you are saying that illegal immigrants -- essentially lawbreakers -- should be given amnesty, then you and I will have a big problem. And it's not a question of wealth, connections...

As a legal immigrant -- someone who followed the rules, crossed the t's, and dotted the i's -- I wholeheartedly oppose any amnesty give to illegal immigrants regardless of who they are and where they are from. That a foreign minister of a country would even request such a thing is unbecoming...

Yes, geopolitics changes but not as easily or quickly as you think. The entrance of China into the equation has changed everything. It's now China that provides the balance of power for Pakistan, not the US. Accordingly, the US has made its shift entirely to India. Pakistan, in turn, is squarely...

This outdated thinking, in my opinion. With China now in the mix, US is no longer interested in creating a “balance in the teguon.” US has targeted India has a strategic partner, tasked to be a bulwar against China. If US was actually serious about creating a balance in South Asia, Pakistan...

What an idiotic thread. The plane in question -- a 777-200 -- has flown safely for 27-years. The aircraft type is a solid performer. It's safer to fly on this aircraft to travel in a car. I'll take my chances.

It took China how long to acknowledge the death of its soldiers? If anger is to be directed to anybody, it’s toward the Chinese government for hiding this information for so long. This is where the anger is. Not that you will see it in Chinese media. The enemy? What does China think Indo-US...

So says state-controlled Global Times...

The Chinese film industry is like the Indian film industry -- it's a captive market. Plus, both markets are big enough to support a vibrant industry, but there's little appeal for these films outside their region. And let's not forget China controls what foreign films are allowed to be...

First, the Taliban of today is completely different than the Taliban of the 1990s. Second, the US never had an issue with the Taliban, per se. Taliban was never put on terror lists or on sanctions. Third, it's not in the interests of the regional players -- China, Iran, Pakistan, and Russia --...

Pakistanis on a pro-Pakistan forum complaining about Indians trolling, disrailing, propagandizing when they do same to Indians on this forum. But unlike Pakistanis, Indians are put on a short leash. Not only do we quickly get warnings, posts deleted, and banned, but Pakistanis are given more...
