BaburCM,
Am I seeing a serious contradiction here?
Either these weapons are for simple mussle flexing or for real war.
It can not be both ways. Cross check.
Blain,
You are quite right in your assessment, however, there is yet one more reason "not to straight jump" into the bed with the Russians, before giving it a second thought.
Just look at the vast amount of hardware India has procured over such a long time period involving inumerable joint...
The way I see it, most if not all, place their country and its strategic interests over that of the ummah. Did you see any Indian muslim organisation raise even a pro Pakistan or an anti India slogan in all the 4 wars that India and Pakistan fought? That should tell you about their psych.
That is one point I would take in.
If that be so, I find no "intellectual" reasons to delete the post. It was not harming anybody's pov, was it?
Hogwash and a Half.
That's a personal comment. I would "refrain" from indulging in THAT with you.
AM,
That was NOT off topic.
Rather it was exactly about what we had been debating about present day Pakistanis and there lineage with the ancient people of IVC and what propaganda and myth your Govt and Military have been feeding to your masses, by none other than a Pakistani intellectual...
I guess, nobody wants to turn the topic into a pi$$ing contest.
To start with, both these letters are well qualified to serve as sanitary paper with immediate effect. No professional army officer would indulge into this kind of communication, ally or foe notwithstanding.
As to what's...
Sheesh.....
Where did I talk about cutting your defence expenses? Care to point?
Economic plight is not the one that is pulling Pakistan in the gutter. Its the Militancy and Jehadis. Lot many muslim countries spend more than Pakistan on defence. Do it if you can afford it. Just pull your...
Isarel never threatened Iran or Pakistan with elimination. I am yet to see a single statement by any Israeli leader to make any kind of threat against Pakistan in particular, keep aside threatening to wipe it from the face of the world.
Iran did and thus is facing the attention of the world...
Jsm0098,
Its difficult to believe that a nation of 160 Million plus, does not have men without the acumen to lead the country. Are Zardari and Nawab the last resort? The answer is thuderous NO. The first thing that you need to do is select such a person and send him to the Parliament with a...
All Green,
I think you have a valid argument here. Any nation that is fiercely proud of its identity will definetely stand out as a solid and independent unit. Religion hasn't got that element to gellup a nation with a degree of diversity. India also faces the same dilema. If the majority...
Kasrkin,
The comparison is a bit erronous. The Indian media in general critisises the IA's operations in Kashmir as being to soft in handling the terrorists and the non-stop stories of how holed up militants manage to break a cordon and flee. Also, the media is unabashedly critical of the IS...
Reread the post.
An alliance or ally is different from a friendly country.
PRC might be friendly to GoP...even might be selling/collaborating vital tech to it, but its far from being a alliance in the military sense. Atleast history didn't prove it otherwise. You don't need standing forces of...
Wrong.
Your's is not an alliance to vouch for. You can not talk of having an alliance, wherein you get the boot from the enemy, while your ally keeps merely watching, offering only lip service. No PLA Division, ever marched South when any IA Division marched West or East. That's the difference...
