Salaam I don't think Pakistan ever expected that the Taliban wouldn't allow diplomatic missions or relations with India. However, allowing india to have diplomats in Afghanistan is a far cry from the issue Pakistan said it faced from Afghanistan under the outgoing Ghani government. But if...

Salaam That's a welcome development from Pakistani perspective. I'm curious if they have closed consulates of countries as well?

Salaam I certainly hope the Indians listen to him and send troops and weapons there. Help their allies and protect the minorities.

Salaam About time. Cyber security is of the utmost importance in the modern world. We've wasted enough time already. I hope they treat it as a national security issue and do extensive background checks before hiring.

Salaam I think the issue isn't whether the Taliban are good or not. Even if one says they are evil, they are, as far as Pakistanis are concerned, lesser of the two evil. The Pakistanis that are happy at the prospect of the Taliban takeover are happy because the Taliban are replacing a...

Salaam The Indians are not actually lusting for war themselves, they just want someone else to fight China. If they themselves wanted a war with China, they'd have gone to war given how many reasons China has given them recently.

Salaam The people running from the Taliban are likely going to be, by and large, the same that have allied themselves with the Northern Alliance. It makes no sense for Pakistan to let in anti-pakistan people who have previously been involved with groups causing terrorism and trouble in Pakistan.

Salaam If only the Taliban could be stopped through sloganeering. Maybe the the US and NATO should have employed anti-taliban slogans instead of spending trillions on weapons and resources.

Salaam What's with these people and rape?

Salaam I think I miscommunicated my point earlier. I don't mean it wouldn't matter to Pakistani planners, it certainly should and hopefully will. What I meant was that, if the China factor wasn't there you'd see Pakistan getting into reactionary purchasing etc. However, now I think Pakistan...

Salaam It makes sense for the Indians to do it. Had the situation not changed drastically between the Indians and the Chinese, Pakistan would have been in a lot of stress than it is. The Indians now understand that the situation with China looks ling term and not something that can be...

Salaam I don't know why people want Pakistan to immediately fire a salvo on the Indians and/or Afghanistan whenever there is a terrorist attack in Pakistan. The government and the intelligence agencies are working on the issue, that is how we ultimately got the ttp lot in control. Everyone...

Salaam I don't actually have any specific details on the national response time but I assume it varies according to time and place. I live in a rural area and the response time here is usually around 10-15 mins. Some places it maybe 20mins if they are further away from the 1122 (emergency...

Salaam The situation is not good as is. However, in past few years things gave started to improve, especially in the public health care sector. I've seen hospitals being renovated and improved on district and tehsil levels. Even subtehsils. Ambulance service is okay. You have charities like...

Salaam What was the original statement the Canadian ambassador made?

Salaam I hope it's not another Buzdar.

Salaam My guess is their negotiations with the Taliban aren't going as they'd hoped. Indians are not interested in Afghanistan much beyond their use against Pakistan. Since with the Taliban, the most they can expect is neutrality, the Indians don't have much to gain. Or at least their...

Salaam Never go full retard.

Salaam These folks are getting desperate. We didn't see them openly saying such stuff when things were not going well for Pakistan. Now thibgs are turning and these people are getting exposed in their desperation. insha'Allah they too will fail like those before them.

Salaam My personal experience with Afghans has been positive. One of the most humble person I met in the UK was an Afghan. In any case, we have to deal with the Afghans in a pragmatic way. There is not much to gain by having an antagonised country next to us if we don't need to. We've seen...
