New world map. New York Times

[MandarK]

they are crazy only what they are dreaming to happen from long time,

There is no mention of india splitting ,
nothing about USA itself
nothing about Britain and scotland dividing up?
long list...

World is much saner than you think.

 

[Icarus]

Interesting Map but it's more of the same thing, stuff like:

Arabic Union
Korean Reunification
Independent Kurdistan
Pushtunistan and Independent Baluchistan
China taking over Siberia

These idea are crazy at best and I don't see any of the above taking place in the next 50 years AT LEAST!

Parag Khanna is a westerner's boot licker. What makes him think Pakistan is going to break up?

Where's his proof? The Pakistan state is not that weak. The army will take over if necessary. Parag Khanna is so ignorant of realities.

They just Pakistan to break up, so the Islamic world and China is contained.

Let the westerners dream on, besides Pakistan does not have that much sectaranism.

Pakistan is a Sunni Muslim majority country and eveyone knows that. Shias aren't that much.

At maximum only 5%. the 20% "estimate figure on wikipedia or other places on the net are just lies.

Shias only make at maximum 5% of Pakistan's population or even less.

They missed out Sindhu desh.

Naxals anyone? Maybe Nagas and Assamese..............Let's not make this thread a shyte hurling contest.

One of map the titles: China Gobbles Up Siberia


It seems the New York Times, the mouth piece for the Administration since the endorsement of the Iraqi War, is trying to divide China and Russia's friendly relationship, once again.

Difficult not! Since some Russians believe so.

Lonely to be Russian out in Siberia
-----------------------------------

¶11. (C) There is a longstanding popular fear in Russia that
the Chinese are in the process of taking over the Russian Far
East (RFE). These concerns are spurred by the ever-declining
Russian population in Siberia and the RFE, the product of low
birthrates, early deaths, and out-migration. Not to worry,
said Konstantin Vnukov, Director of the MFA's First Asia
Department, who claimed that there were only 35,000 Chinese
residents in Russia. Even a generous estimate of 200,000 did
not create "demographic pressure." Per Vnukov, a recent poll
in major Chinese cities showed that only 1.7 percent of
respondents would be willing to consider Russia their future
workplace. Gui Congyu of the Chinese Embassy scoffed at
Russian fears of waves of Chinese swamping the Russian
population. "Who, among us Chinese, would want to live here?"
he asked.


MOSCOW 00001292 003 OF 003


¶12. (C) Popular impressions are little affected by such
arguments. Stories in the press speak of Chinese firms
buying vast tracts in Siberia to exploit for natural
resources and to establish Chinese settlements. Among many
examples, the January 11 edition of liberal newspaper Novaya
Gazeta argued that "China's annexation of the Russian Far
East has effectively started." The newspaper compared
Chinese inroads to the expansion of white Americans into the
American West: "the Indians watched new towns being built,
with alien laws and alien settlers, but they did not
understand how extensive and irreversible the process was."

Shias are 25% of Pakistan population.

 

[Developereo]

that's the most childish criteria to dismiss what is just a " hypothetical" report let alone any reporting. Do you give equal weight to Dawn reporters when they write not so glowing articles about Pakistan?

maybe Khanna is under the influence of the great Zionist who have a " hold on " america

It's no secret that certain elements in India and the US seek to legitimize the Balochistan separatists as being something more than a lunatic fringe.

Naxals anyone? Maybe Nagas and Assamese..............Let's not make this thread a shyte hurling contest.

We all know this "The New World" map is utter nonsense.

It doesn't even talk about solving the Kashmir dispute the Palestinian Problem the South Tibet Problem according to just and moral principles.


Parag Khanna's paper is merely a propaganda piece, to brainwash the American people.

Do you honestly believe Pakistan is going to break up? I have family in Pakistan, and everyone is quite optimistic that things are going to get better when the Americans leave Afghanistan.

Pakistan or Afghanistan breaking up is just plain nonsense. Parag Khanna doesn't know what he is talking about.

No wonder Americans are so ignorant about other cultures, politics, and current affairs, BECAUSE THEY FED LIES! LIKE FOX NEWS, PARAG KHANNA, CNN, AND OTHER USELESS LYING NEWSPAPERS.

Lunatic fringe?

Your ARMY has fought FOUR WARS of INDEPENDENCE with them, including the use of FIGHTER JETS and CHOPPER GUNSHIPS.

Is that made up by American and Indian media?

Those are sure powerful lunatics whoever they are .....

 

[BLACKEAGLE]

Darkest scenarios ever, especially the Pakistani one. It seems I don't understand it well, are Baluchis Sunni-majority or is it an ethnic issue? And why are they calling for establishing greater Baluchistan?

 

[Developereo]

Those are sure powerful lunatics whoever they are .....

They have powerful friends. Based in London, sheltered by NATO in Kabul, etc., etc.

Not four wars, there was only one military Op during the 70s and there was no use of fighter jets, rather just gunships were used and there's no doubt about some people in the West and India trying to legitimize the Baloch separatist's activity. These people hoot for the BLA and when they shoot a bus full of Hazaras, the same people offer their condolences to Pakistan and show their concern about growing extremism.
