I really hope they drop this façade of aid and grants. They pay our poor elites pocket money to buy loyalities and in turn Pakistani people payback ten times more in terms for this corruption. It might even get us to stand on our two feet someday. Though I agree with you that Americans are smart...

Masha'Allah. Pray that these efforts bear fruit and bring peace and prosperity to the entire country, region and these areas in particular. Salute to the brave ones who laid their lives protecting this country. Bhai, you are talking about "LA and Silicon Valley" but you do realize that less...

They can.

Brother, I think you misread my post as a military comparison. I commented on the institution of democracy, democratic process and how strong it is in our three Muslim countries. Pakistan and Turkey have suffered from US backed military coups that worked to further US interests. Egypt has a had...

Trying to ensure continuous payment of pension. And possibly save his grave from desecration by RSS in a few years.

Could still happen though.

To Indian members here; whatsapp groups that I am part of, my family, colleagues and friends and basically everyone I had any interaction with regarding the situation in India, all of them had prayers for your people. Internet in general and social media in particular is a very different...

And ironically both countries have a significant % of pro-military population. In terms of democratic process & its maturity its interesting to note that Turkey leads Pakistan and Pakistan leads Egypt by about 2 decades.

In this thread "homeless man calls another homeless man broke". India's situation is a lesson for Pakistan--people are very careless almost all over the country. God forbid if it happens, we won't be able to handle it. Iftar and sehri parties are going on. In small cities and towns there...

EXACTLY.

Corruption and lack of will. Corruption as in PTV was filled up with political workers since 90s. Each Government appointed its own favorite as its MD. And lack of will; just like our economy our elite has never had a grand vision of things. They are stuck in their own little world that doesn't...

Amreki news media is weird man. I used to watch late night shows like John Oliver, Jimmy Falon, Seth Meyers, John Stewart, Bill Maher, Colbert etc. I used to like the style of presentation, jokes that explained serious issues. But they all follow a fixed party line and I mean they FOLLOW it. But...

You don't say. Seriously though, IMO PDF is pretty much a reflection of our society in general barring English language skills. People who love this country and are concerned about. People with an unhealthy trust in Pak Fauj. People who surprise you with their intellect when they talk about...

Pakistan would greatly benefit. Iran opening up to international community will bring prosperity to its people and the region. Pakistan will also get out of this state of always balancing between Arab the lenders and Iranians the neighbors.

Very insightful. What about economic stagnation in the USSR? The common narrative that corruption and the heavy financial toll Afghan war took on the USSR contributed to its demise? Seems very unrealistic considering how strong the current President is. But then again, you never know with...

I'd much rather ban Twitter, FB and Whatsapp till the time they clean up their platforms. Do something like linking up each user with their actual national ID card and display user's country of residence accurately with their profile. Its easy for these big tech companies--just need will. Till...

Operation could have been handled better by on ground team when the incident happened. But I'd still say-- good job and thank you for risking your lives to protect the nation. Collateral damage is unfortunate and of course regrettable. Media and social media especially had a field day with...

This is what happens when you write paid articles with inputs from people who have no idea what's happening on ground. Saying TLP and Taliban in the same breath? Seriously? Expected a better propaganda piece from NYT. Seriously guys atleast google the shit you write.

"Indus nationals" are the modern Pakistanis. No matter how you twist it the fact is that Pakistanis are the inheritors of anything even remotely related to the mighty Indus, the civilizations that sprung around it, the kings, peoples, religions, books, arts and basically everything it produced...

Influence. $23 billions spent in CASH on American military industrial complex goes a long long way in buying influence in the right places in America. Plus you get to be the country with the latest American gadgets. Good for the UAE.
