    Pakistan failed to gain global empathy in its War on Terror

    Afghan dissidents are armed opposition. A bunch of diplomats in the Pakistani foreign office attempting to build relations with exiled Afghans living in Pakistan does not constitute an armed insurgency. You are going in circles to make it seem like your pointless argument holds weight when...

    Israel is the legal occupant of the West Bank, Court of Appeal of Versailles

    That's not my stance - it's what your article was implying. I have always maintained that their "lack of sovereignty" doesn't justify Israel's crimes against them. Your attempts to infer Pakistani views are laughable. The laws overtly treated Jews as having less rights than others, which...

    Pakistan failed to gain global empathy in its War on Terror

    Ambassadors and spokespersons have made such things clear countless times. Credible information on the Bin Laden incident is hard to find - in my humble opinion Seymour Hersh's version of events is much more realistic - that Pakistani agents found Bin Laden and were holding him in the compound...

    Israel is the legal occupant of the West Bank, Court of Appeal of Versailles

    So you didn't read the paper I linked to. Here it is again: The Law as an Accelerator of Genocide "The mask of legality prevented the clear and unequivocal exposure of wrong doing" Here's an article from the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, which makes the same points...

    Pakistan failed to gain global empathy in its War on Terror

    Your source says nothing of the sort. It says that Bhutto's government "resorted to extending support to Islamists dissidents that opposed Afghanistan’s Republican government of Sardar Daud". Supporting dissidents ≠ creating dissidents. The dissidents already existed. And this is Afghanistan...

    Pakistan failed to gain global empathy in its War on Terror

    What a load of pure bullshit. "Democracy-oriented opposition groups"? You mean like the "moderate rebels" the US is supporting in Syria? There's no such thing as that, never has been, especially not in Afghanistan. The US didn't give Pakistan a free hand to choose from opposition groups, the...

    Features of Ababeel Missile

    The re-entry vehicles contain the warheads. To put it simply, Ababeel is a missile containing many missiles. Once it reaches a certain altitude and distance from the target, it releases the warheads. Each warhead can be programmed to target a specific location. This essentially makes India's...

    Pakistan Is the Crisis Flying Under the Radar - Foreign Policy

    Wasn't Pakistan supposed to disintegrate into a "failed state" by 2015? Fake news much? They weren't just "perceived", they were tied to intelligence gathering. The CIA admitted this. Thanks to the US, our polio eradication program suffered considerably, aid initiatives are now always seen...

    Pakistan failed to gain global empathy in its War on Terror

    The West has always selectively focused on tragedies when it suits their purposes - they will gladly give their sympathy to Pakistanis as well, but only if they can use it to justify something like their drone murder program, or push a certain narrative. A good example is the coverage of Malala...

    Ababeel SSM - Pakistan gains MIRV technology.

    Details vary between different systems, but here's how MIRVs in general work: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Minuteman_III_MIRV_path.svg The Independent RVs would be released long before the interceptor missile reaches it.

    Israel is the legal occupant of the West Bank, Court of Appeal of Versailles

    Slavery used to be 'legal'. South Africa's Apartheid was 'legal'. The Holocaust was 'legal' as well. http://www.un.org/en/holocaustremembrance/docs/paper13.shtml Legal does not mean moral. And It's interesting how most of the arguments in this 'judgement' are based on 'the law doesn't apply in...

    General Votel Visits Pakistan

    I was referring to the accusations that Pakistan was to blame for the war in Afghanistan, which is pure nonsense. Also, this kind of rhetoric: 'Time to put the squeeze on Pakistan' Hence me saying 'everything wrong in the world'. What you are talking about are Pakistan's internal matters. And...

    General Votel Visits Pakistan

    The US acknowledges Pakistan's role one day, and blames Pakistan for everything wrong in the world the next day. Build a wall around Langley, and make the CIA pay for it.

    Jibran Nasir speaks out. must listen

    True. Articles criticising the Army are written in Dawn and Express Tribune on a daily basis. There are dozens of such authors and 'activists' who openly criticise the Army. Clearly, It's not that simple; if the agencies picked them up, they must have been involved in something other than tweeting.

    Bhensa has been controlled.

    The writer fails to take into account the fact that liberal extremists (or, more accurately,pseudo-Liberals), actually support the other extreme's narrative as well, inadvertently perhaps. Look at Bhensa's famous tweet - "Islam is a khooni religion". That is exactly what the Taliban say - they...

    Removal Of Autocannon GSH 23 / 30 From The JF 17:--

    If we were talking about an air superiority fighter, i'd agree with you 100%. But the JF-17 is not meant to be an air superiority fighter, it is meant to be multirole. That includes CAS, which is vital for counter terror ops.

    Removal Of Autocannon GSH 23 / 30 From The JF 17:--

    While I can see how useful an additional hardpoint can be, most modern airforces (Russia, China, even US) still believe in machineguns as backup weapons for fighters as missiles tend to be limited and have a minimum range. Modern fighters can still be used (and often are) for strafing runs and...

    US Intel said"Pakistan will be a failed state by 2015". Facts exactly opposite.

    Very relevant: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jun/28/failed-states-western-myth-us-interests "The concept of the failed state is meaningless. It was invented as a rationale to impose US interests on less powerful nations" They've been 'predicting' Pakistan's demise ever since...

    Peruvian MBT 2000 Is it better than AL KHALID or not ?

    It's different in a few ways but I doubt it's 'better'. It might be better suited to the Peruvian Army's requirements/budget (MBT-2000 is meant to be a standard version, essentially), while Al-Khalid is a Pakistan specific model as @Dazzler correctly said If you look at the picture alone, the...

    Activist Jibran Nasir urges govt to arrest admins of 'Pakistan Defence'

    Oh really? Such articles are written on Dawn and the Express Tribune on a daily basis by a few dozen authors - all of whom pretend to be very brave for writing such drivel from the comfort of their homes. None of them have gone missing so far, despite all the topi drama. Satire? Bhensa was not...
