Hi,
'wiki' is for your age group---I am too old to fall for 'wiki'.
OT
In that case you are forgetting stuff that you read decades ago. My reading memory is getting a little hazy too, and that is why I do not indulge in debates unless I know exactly and quote sources.
Consider 2 important things:
1. Mobility and projectile attacks were preferred tactics not only for Mongols, but also many other armies & empires. There is value in it, but it is possible to defend against it by using disciplined troop deployment. Romans vs. Parthians & French vs. Mamluks are good examples. You can not just shoe-horn everything to fit a certain narrative. Important nuance must not be lost. An important tactic assumed by the Mongols was psy-ops and use of agents to demoralize opponents.
Xiongnu, the confederation centered around Mongolia were a major threat to Han China, and were defeated by Chinese armies, despite enjoying all the advantages that later Mongols would have. The point is that issues are seldom as black-and-white as you make them out to be.
2. Mongols were considered barbarians, and had always been closely watched by the Chinese. Earlier history records how Chinese Emperor's court kept an eye on the barbarians in the empire's north.
Who are today's barbarians? I would suggest that today's barbarians are the ones who are forced to migrate outwards due to over-population, lack of opportunities, low HDI, and unstable governance. Who could I be alluding to? Today's barbarians are us. The world is afraid of us, not Mongols. I would suggest that you keep this very important distinction in mind before you start off again on your over-familiar rants. Your prescriptions of military spending are nothing but disaster because they would accentuate Pakistan's problems and create much greater instability.
You could begin to understand why Chinese are engaging with today's barbarians. It is to achieve a degree of control on regions that could create trouble as Pax-Sina rises. Chinese are very smart. They are not merely throwing money around. They are making strategic investments for their future. War, therefore, can only be bad for the emerging scheme of things. Chinese would not want a war in Asia and they would rather co-opt their would-be rivals than confront them in war.
So, Pakistanis should learn to be happy with what they have achieved and work on achieving what they sorely miss - namely HDI via strengthening of internal institutional framework. War-toys will lead to ruin. Our short history is a witness to it.
My post shall shock many, but this is the truth as I see it. We are seeing rise of Pax-Sina and from Chinese perspective war is highly undesirable. If we do not fall in line, we shall be made to do so. And by Allah that would be good for us.
