The magnitude is irrelevant but the end result is significant:) $65 million may seem small, but this is 1954 and the United Fruit Company lobbied in Washington for its interests. Just like how other American corporations have benefited in the Middle East. The US is the villain, it was supplying...

Excellent analysis. Pakistan must be pragmatic, we have a small economy and that's not going to change in the short and medium term. India imports a large number of arms from Russia and they have collaborated on some projects. Their trade is increasing, and India's wealth is increasing, Putin...

In my head:) Okay, Guatemala is located in Central America, but you can't deny the Americans weren't involved. Their revenue was $65 million dollars. Its a good example of American intervention based upon lobbying from American corporations. In regards to the landowners, they did have issues...

I agree.

Oh, really, who has conducted more wars than any other state in the last 243 years. Much of the mess in the Middle East involves the British or the American's. Guatemala 1954 is a good example. The CIA toppled President Jacobo Arbenz. He attempted a series of land reforms that threatened the...

Tourism from abroad is increasing. Some of the biggest travel vloggers have visited Pakistan under his tenure and he took the time to meet them. Furthermore, many of our industries such as the railway sector have increased their revenue. This is a sign of good governance. Pakistan's economic...

Such a term shouldn't be used so casually. I don't even support Imran Khan but as the Prime Minister of Pakistan, he deserves some respect. Pakistan is improving under his watch although it needs to be done much faster.

We have to be pragmatic. Pakistan's relationship with Russia has improved but don't think for one second we are replacing their long term ally India unless we change this balance: "And lastly, trade with India, Pakistan’s longtime rival, is expected to hit $30b. by 2025."

I never said any benefit wasn't given by America to the world:) But it has done more damage than good interfering into other people's business. The end result will be very bad, and a good example is hunger games where America will be the ultimate loser:) But that process will take a long time...

Much of the budget comes from companies owned by the military. Our budget is bigger than $9 billion but that's the official record. This is a good development for Pakistan. Competition increases greater quality.

In'sha'allah I hope their trade doubles. We need to see more Muslim countries developing at a faster rate. We can never compete with the West if we don't focus on our economy. Pakistan is a prime example, we have a young large population in comparison to other countries, we are resource-rich but...

Good pragmatic response from Erdogan. The Turkish economy is suffering and he needs Chinese investment and tourism. I hope Pakistan can have greater trade relations in the coming years. We have great tourism potential, from the landscape, historical sites, food and unique culture.

Much of the human suffering seen in this world is linked to America. They stole the wealth of South America and toppled regimes who didn't accept American corporations. The bigger the arrogance the larger the fall from grace.

@ghazi52: This is a wonderful thread, thank you for posting these pictures. No one can deny Quaid-e-Azam had class and style.

What these people (Arabs) did was wrong, but I would hardly call this a fair fight. Like you said the ratio was 20:1. They should have punished the person involved not the entire Arab continency. I believe the Kazakh workers have pushed 15 demands. Hopefully, this won't happen again in the...

At least you are honest. India will never progress if such groups have widespread support. The people don't need any group to stand up for them. The police are there for a reason and mob mentality never wins. Instead of killing innocent Muslim which this group is known for, they should protest...

I want to ask you a personal question. Do you support groups like bajrang dal?

The situation across India is getting worse. Apparently, some Muslim's are finding it difficult to even rent properties if the landlord is Hindu. India is a large country with lots of potential, however, the caste, religious and income gap will cause it to fall behind other countries.

I have never questioned someone on their Pakistani nationality. People like @Pan-Islamic-Pakistan joined this forum in 2018. Look at my history, and find out why I joined this forum in 2013. CPEC was officially introduced in 2015. But three years before that I was trying my best to bring in...

What did I say wrong? Go and check the historical data. China as a country controlled 60% of the world's GDP, this was only toppled when the Mughal controlled much of the Indian subcontinent. Regardless, you have proven what a hypocrite you are, and someone's class always show's when they preach...
