Here are my 2 cents on why Gen Bajwa said what he said with respect to US alignment. Before that, a disclaimer. - I am strictly anti-establishment and anti-meddling in politics by Army. - I am genuinely not as irked at IK going (cz I had huge differences with his policies) as I am at seeing the...

What are the reasons for not trusting the data, is it circumstantial evidence or is there any proof that the census is vastly off. NADRA's data has matured a lot over time. Also, there is no single data source in today's world for macro estimates like population. Multiple highly reliable state...

Your meme doesn't match your text. For argument sake, Pakistan's population isn't fiscally self sustaining even if you take Bengalis + Afghans out times two and keep their wealth as loot. Bengali population isn't taking the best jobs because we didn't really treat them as equals or educate them...

It's not an argument of aesthetics but more about human development and facing the consequences of not doing so. I've lived half my life in villages* and the cultivable land I see today is easily less than half of what it was in my childhood. Smaller villages have become larger, larger villages...

I don't get why there is so much hatred for Owaisi. What do you need Owaisi to do or what would you have done if you were in his place, pick up weapons and start an armed freedom movement right in the midst of hundreds of millions of haters? There would not be few, but tens of millions of...

It is better to stay humble rather than gloat and become a petty racist/bigot. When he took his hand out of the nozzle, it smelt of burnt jet fuel mixed with sarcasm!

I think this refers more to our manufacturing prowess owing to maturity (or lack thereof) of the involved industries in Pakistan. Name 1 modern cutting edge precision engineering metal product that Pakistan manufactures and/or exports? Patents can be legitimately procured and partnerships...

PAF is squeezing pretty much every last ounce out of JF-17, that's some dedication to the platform!

What steep decline are you talking about, Pakistan's exports, imports, budgetary deficits, FDI, spending patterns have not shown any unusual change during 2001-2013 that cannot be explained using historical Pakistani economic patterns or through non-WoT factors. In fact, Pakistan's exports rose...

The Sq Ldr is falling prey to the desire to win social brownie points if he's letting you in on a project secret. If you lot are sure its not sensitive info, then spill it out already. :-) - Sanctioning India part is still up in the air. US isn't stupid enough to invoke CAATSA if it stands to...

If we're all posting our PTI, PPP or PML-N hate using imported phones, imported laptops while sitting in imported ACs sipping on an imported drink or water chilled in an imported fridge while lighting our room in imported LEDs, are PTI, PPP or PML-N really to blame or we're just too ashamed to...

it seems to me you suggesting Pakistan is better off defaulting on its debt commitment rather than continue trying to avoid bankruptcy? I will defer to my dumbed down analogy of our current fiscal equation that I posted the other day. Most exporters are rejoicing at dollar skyrocketing vs...

Of course he won't read up. Skimming this Elite Member's 2 pages worth of posts, I couldn't see 1 useful post or any post that would be pro-Pakistan in the basic common sense. All i see is unabashed, unabated ramblings akin to verbal diarrhea! Sorry, I don't snap like that but I couldn't but...

To oversimplify the equation and to stop hating on one single party, I compare Pakistan to a house hold with. Earnings (Exports) -> 20-25 Rupees Brother sending from abroad (Remittances) - 20-25 Rupees Total = 40-50 Rupees Spending (Imports) -> 55-60 Rupees Credit Card Debt: 115 Rupees Credit...

Tarek Fatah? Tahir Gora? I think both are in Canada and often collaborate with each other... My point wasn't about haters and hecklers who have been booted out and have a personal gripe against Pakistan or Army specifically, it was about real rational people with a thoughtful perspective!

- He's doing India good if he's pointing out mistakes. People like him reduce the risk of complacency creeping in. - He pointed out something "ap (Army) Rajneeti se nikal jaaye". Imagine some veteran said the same thing in Pakistan, someone who had retired at the rank of Pravin Sawhney (I think...

I get your point but stealth jets aren't like designer shadi suits where Aunties can look at a branded suit, go to the neighborhood tailor to get a replica made. You don't go about stealing IP through peeping or scoping, Russia or anyone manufacturing jets knows better than to let engineering...

So i'm quoting some of his words verbatim. "Enemy se dur rehne mei ap ko faida yeh hota hai k enemy apki taraf missile fire karay tu apko us se bachnay ka moka mil jata hai aur palat kar moka milta hai, jitna close jaen ge enemy ki missile utni ghatak ho jae gi ap k liye" - no s**t Sherlock...

Again this is just a view point. PAF likely did not cross LoC as there was no need. If PAF could safely land SoWs across the LoC, why risk crossing into enemy air space and risk getting shot. Outcomes matter in war, and you would not take any chances that could cause an unfavorable outcome...

You are nitpicking a tweet from Gen Ghafoor quoting MoFA at 11:19AM, approximately an hour after the events. Neither Asif Ghafoor, nor MoFA had direct access to the radar picture, they were just relaying Air Force's provided summary with Pakistan's official narrative of responsible proportionate...
