“Considering the route, it is impossible that China could be a part of this project,” the official added.
BS. Every single time when Pakistan and Iran book progress all of a sudden the Indians get interested. The Indians are still in the negotiation phase whereas Pakistan and Iran...
I agree, however, you need to understand that deriving energy from coal will require an infrastructure which isn't in place. It's a long term solution like nuclear energy etc. In the meanwhile, the energy shortage will remain and importing gas from neighbouring Iran is the best possible short...
^^ We will see about that. You will pay the required transit fee and only then will you be able to join the project. Something that India has categorically denied so far and Pakistan won't tolerate. Addiotnally, India will have to convince the Americans which are vehemently opposed tot he...
Doesn't surprise me one bit. The Indians are now politicizing sports. Pakistan needs to respond in same fashion and boycott Indian series etc. No more Pakistan-India cricket in the foreseeable future.
Indeed, very good news. The Iranians have been pushing very hard for Indian involvement. We all knew that the Indians were only stalling the project. They weren't sincere in making the pipeline project a succes. Good riddance as far as I'm concerned. Now, China needs to be considered. China has...
^^ It's a sensitive matter. The Americans are putting a lot of pressure on Pakistan. The Pakistani nuclear assets are deliberately being maligned for obvious reasons. Pakistan cannot afford to openly carry out such missile tests when an insurgency is raging all across the region. However...
^^ Regardless, that doesn't take away the fact that there are quite clearly irritants between Russian-Indian defence relations. Despite all the JVs and defence purchases, Russia seeks the whole pie which India obviously cannot adhere to. India wants to diversify its defence needs. India is...
I'm not banging my chest. All I said is that defence relations between Russia and India aren't that smooth. I don't deny that Russians as defence suppliers are the least reliable.
In fact, hard lessons need to be learnt from this thawing relation between Russia and India. Pakistan would do...
Hmmm, good news. Seems like that the India-Russia relation isn't all that cosy after all.
Cracks in the India-Russia defence relationship have existed for some time now. Some of the irritants include Russia seeking mid-course price revisions in contracts for Sukhoi-30 fighters and aircraft...
To a certain extent, I agree with the decision taken by some of the provinces and parties in Pakistan. There is a strong feeling that miscreants might easily blend in with the displaced populace. What needs to be done at this point is to actively monitor and register the displaced and at the...
I hope the army gets rid of these lunatics as quickly as possible. It hurts to see that our own land is being decimated to bits and pieces. Unfortunately, it's a must.
Let's not compare Pakistan with the US or China. We all know what the financial situation of Pakistan currently is. Neither does Pakistan have any ambitions or the potential of becoming a superpower. Pakistan just wants to become stable, prosperous and strong. A state that can feed its people...
^^ Spot on. We mustn't ignore that the overall majority of Pakistanis which have really shown how hospitable and giving they can be. The people of Pakistan have provided refuge to these displaced Pakistanis into their homes like blood relatives. Such a display of unity can hardly be found...
It's not as simple as that. When an overwhelmingly catastrophe of such a scale strikes, you need all the help you can get. Katrina in the US should remind us how difficult it can be not to lose the plot. A superpower that was literally brought to its knees whilst everyone watched the drama...
In all honesty, I wouldn't be so eager for the Pakistani government to accept this humanitarian aid from the US. The Americans are still having sleepless nights over their reimbursement of 10 billion dollars which after all were ours as Musharraf put it so nicely. The 10 billion dollar taunt...
