Mil intervention = bad, unless it benefits Sethi types and CIA goals.

It suits the Establishment, which has several goons on this forum.

What a joke. The corrupt absconder will make a deal with the devil himself if it means more power. Stashed billions yet still using state expenditure to pay for so much. Pathetic, petty, evil mafia of a family.

Why do we need "analysts" to state what is (or should be) obvious to everybody and their grandma...? Oh wait, we live in a failed state where the Establishment cares more about the institution than the country. Oops. There are some basic principles that don't change with context: 1) Only...

Agreed. Superior violence of action matched with rehearsed maneuver is the key.

Is this thread a joke? I love how Sethi, Fahd Husain, etc., use phrases directly out of the CIA liberalism buzzword playbook: polarization in society (ala Trump), intolerance of opposing views, bla bla bla. Why the F should there be tolerance for corruption and a deep state operating above /...

10000000% agreed.

I have had this debate with my family numerous times. His rhetoric was NEVER revolutionary. He never said we'll burn the system down if justice fails to be served. He never named names till those officers retired and left. He never said I will die before being dishonored and disgraced --- all...

How dare you distract them from their core mission!

False flags are common, especially in sell-out failed states like ours --- we are the mercy of foreign intel. But real attacks carried out by legitimate terrorists are also common. It could be either.

I am glad that we are slowly moving from tactics to strategy to approach/policy. I urge you to take it one step further: it's the entire nizaam. Nothing good can come out of our current institutional design, societal conception of the 'common good,' and constitutional framework. We are screwed...

He can be better than the rest (and I believe he is) and still be a coward. Cowardice is relative. We need a revolutionary in IK, as he is the last hope this failing state has. Anything short of that, unfortunately, is cowardly.

And which country will actually go to war with the US or be able to retaliate in any meaningful way?

The unequal application of the law is a profound form of injustice necessitating resistance to correct. We are, in essence, under occupation. We just have some more freedoms than typical occupations.

Talk is cheap. Take the right action, even if the chances of success are slim. Honor over disgrace.

Should just hand them the keys then. Unlike us, the Afghan Taliban work on realpolitik, not delusions. They very quickly have realized that we have no real leverage and lack the will and/or capacity to introduce consequences. If you can't raise the cost for the other, might as well stop being...

How dare you ask the Army to do anything other than secure the generals' domestic power interests while also doing the bear minimum border defense and internal CT?

Exactly.

Exactly. Frankly, nothing really changed in Naya Pakistan either. Till the Establishment is this powerful and outside the ambit of the law (and not serving the people), we are doomed.

Your suggestions demonstrate your lack of understanding. NATO failed and our already-stretched military should have another Ukraine in Afghanistan? First, please get this through your head: ALL security policy is made at GHQ. It doesn't matter what the F a planted PM or one hanging by the...
