I put "donations" in quotes because often these donations are given with certain conditions or expectations, which may include acceptance of your son or daughter into the school. This quid pro quo turns a donation into a bribe. If you think this does not happen in the US, then you're hopelessly...

Wouldn't this be a problem for women wearing skirts?

Lahore, Pakistan's Mughal treasure trove Isambard Wilkinson, CNN • Updated 20th March 2019 (CNN) — The Pakistani city of Lahore is one of the Indian subcontinent's most brilliant gems, yet it remains relatively obscure outside the country -- an unexpected pleasure for travelers. With Pakistan...

It's a sad state of affairs when we start competing over who is losing more. Our rivalry should be about who is gaining/profiting more.

I was referring to this passage, "Some sources claim the PAF shot down at least a dozen more aircraft during the Soviet war in Afghanistan which ostensibly were not formally credited because they involved violations of Afghan airspace."

I was not aware that the PAF was running sorties inside Afghanistan, and that we engaged the Soviets in the air so many times. Knowledgeable members of the forum, are these accounts accurate?

Pakistan’s F-16s Battled Soviet Jets—and Shot Down the Future Vice President of Russia By Sebastien Roblin In 1977, General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq overthrew Pakistan’s civilian president in a coup. He proceeded to institute hardline Islamist laws throughout Pakistan, and began rebuilding...

The Afghan "government", and the US arny/administration are incompetent, or complicit. Let's wait and see, as opposed to what? In this world, not everyone gets what they deserve. Some suffer injustices, while others literally get away with murder.

Its interesting how all the focus of the media is on the people giving the bribes. There is relatively little talk of the universities and other institutions who allow administrators to accept bribes, and often actively solicit "donations". ALL of these so called Ivy League, Big 10, etc are...

That’s a pretty strong, intellectual argument you have made. Good work.

I think you meant "implying", not "implementing". I agree with your assessment of the article. But between the lines, he is also saying that the PAF brought down a highly capable plane (actually two of them). That speaks to PAF's effectiveness and capability. Pakistanis would be remiss to...

This is pretty amazing. Thank you Turkey.

The Nobel prize has no credibility. It’s a political and propaganda tool, much like many other prizes, awards, rankings, ratings, and lists. It promotes an inferiority complex among people who crave acceptance and validation of certain others. It is not something we should aspire to.

This is not very convincing. Their tone is too "Bollywoodish".

I think it is now generally accepted that the Indian military and media lied through their teeth. Their planes killed a bunch of trees and nothing else. Here is an article from Foreign Policy magazine. India's Media is War-Crazy Journalism is taking a back seat to jingoism. BY VAISHNAVI...

I think it was a mistake not to go to the OIC meet. By doing so, Pakistan handed a diplomatic win to India. By attending, Pakistan would have achieved the dual objective of denying India the perception of a win, and using the platform to promote its own narrative.
