Yes I do believe that. Its common knowledge actually. Ask the chinese if they respect you, and when they say yes, ask Why exactly?
You have no industries worth mentioning, no innovation, no thought leaders, no business leaders, no technological achievement, no science has come from your land.
And those Bangladeshis who are mocking our surgical strikes are struck by the virus of ummah, whereas their govt has officially supported our stand and actions on the said topic. And as their economy grows and tonic of development and prosperity seeps deeper into the society; these few fools will also leave your side.
Secondly your belief that your county has managed to get stronger even after sanctions, turmoils, corruption is a fallacy. IRAN has got stronger after sanctions, not you
A society infested with corruption and turmoils is not stronger than before, its weaker than before.
Hey but please feel free to believe otherwise, there is no point discussing this further. I concede your forum is better. Fair point. Congratulations
