@PakSword brother mine,
Sorry took sweet my time to add my small input. Battery at 5% so not totally master of faculties required for such a vast subject you have opened. I shall try to offer a framework to contextualise our challenges/options (
@Shane if you could make mental notes for future reference, please)
On the outset let me inform that IoJK is a battelground, a battle
NOT War that Pakistan has been
facing/fighting for past 72 years.
There is
The Theory of War and then there is
The Practice of War.
Unless, we understand what we are dealing with, what is its scope and what are its mechanisms, we, of course, would be chasing black cats in dark blindfolded.
Personally, I find
The Art of War to be sublime as it deals with
Principles of both The Theory and Practice of War.
The Book of Five Rings close to it...but then it is an
Boshidofied version of
SunTze with
Zazen added to it. The
Book of the Void is most instructive.
Nothingess is important.
The Total War by
Von Clausewitz is mechanised application of Politics/Diplomacy.
Chankyia is about
Statecraft as is
The Prince... though
The Prince is more towards
RealPolitics...in my view.
Now it is also important that we understand that
War is Amoral and
inhuman... it is reflection of
Human Condition or perhaps what humanity truly is... a violent, dangerous creatiion.
There is
NO NEED in the world for
violence, hunger or exploitation... but it is the
Human Condition that humans inflict all injuries upon each other. Paradise Lost Syndrome?
Since, it is the Human Condition so there is NO Escaping for Pakistan from it... hence, we have been facing/fighting War for past 72 years.
We have tried desperately to live and let live... but it has not worked for us and it is never going to work for us. Regardless, how hard PMIK tries, pleads for sanity or take twenty steps towards Peace...
War always awaits us.
Now then... what is the scope of this War?
It would be too theoratical or perhaps forced intellectualism to include
1857 into the start of OurWar... let us start from 1940s to give it
PakContextualHue.
Riots in Bangal, our marching towards Pakistan... loosing honour of our women and giving life of more than a million Paks, having a country without any/much means... having our funds/military stuff blocked... starting with hunger and massive displaced Paks... brought us to
1947-48.... Our first battle...
Jinnah Doctorine and we got half of the
PakKashmir liberated.
(
@ps3linux @graphican my dear Paks, if/when you have time we need to put
Valuation of the
Price we paid for Pakistan... in the
ValueModel please use gold prices, try also to use
InsuranceModel of
Valuation of injuries/loss of life as well. I know life price in the West is about €2+million.. our lives are not valued that high but you will figure out...
Quantification of Pain is going to be most difficult though!)
The Great Game between
Tsarist Russian Empire and
The British Empire ended with the
Second World War, with expansion of
Tsarist/Soviet Russia to the Heart of Europe... it did have a
Catholic vs Orthodox undertone of
One Thousand Years conflict... which also was seen in
Yougoslavia 'war'.
All this time a
ThirdForce ..China was down and under...
Century of Humilation as our ChineseIronBrothers call it.
The British wanted to keep The Rus out of Asia and Kashmir as well..
. because in those days of The Great Game Russian were coming...as in the ColdWar...
The Heartland/WorldIsland thesis elaborated this geopolitical struggle between greatpowers quite eloquently.
After the Second World War, when it was clear that
CPC will emerge victorious in the
Chinese Civil War and the
LongMarch will end in success as CounterForce, a balance of power was needed... hence instead of creating smaller, natural states the British left an unatural country... and named it India...
Jinnah or Iqbal didn't fall for Ghandi hence the
Original Idea of a SuperState (AkhandBaharat) that could hold both USSR and PRC at bay couldn't materialise...
It is imperative to understand that we
Paks lost OurWorld in two phases... first in 1857 and second in 1920 with the Fall of Ottoman.
Iqbal felt this most accutely... the Loss of OurWorld. Need I explain? @RIWWIR
With it we lost OurAnchor, our self esteem, our elite and our place in the World.
The two extremes of
IdentityCrisis that we see today i.e. either
westernised or
mullhafied is the result of this Loss. Both a failure!
@Indus Pakistan
We don't have
Our Own Anchor as we don't have OurWorld. We live in someone else's world. This we need to understand, accept and give a place in our pschy.
This also explains why Trukiye or Pakistan hunker towards Ummah... it is This Loss!
This Trauma of Our Collective Subconcious, either blaming on religion or blaming on the West... provides some escapist relief...
it is temporary painkiller!
As I said, my battery is down and my output is an uphill struggle... I am forced to put pointers/markers to complete the
Contextual Background and Scope of OurWar,
@PakSword I am sure you would undertand and be forgiving!
In the 50s we chose the US as our saviour both by compulsion and by the
British prompting... please, remember all of our bureaucracy was/is British in nature.
U2 Flights, threat of Nukking by the Soviets... in the meantime
GanguDaesh cosiedup to Soviet and sate in Afghanistan and established shop there together with KGB... This shop against Pakistan NEVER closed.
In the 50s Soviets kept both the PRC and GanguDaesh within its camp and helped them build there infrastructure ... Yanks did the same for us...
When the Soviets fellout with PRC they put extra focus on GanguDaesh... it is imperative to understand that the British were instruemental in keeping the Yanks and
GanguDaesh close from start... so that Nehru could play his
Non-AlignedCard and keep getting aid from both superpowers as a
Counter to China.
Please, also note that
GanguDaesh helped the Yanks and the Soviets against China... Tibet was/is soft underbelly of China... whoever controlls Tibet controlls
Rivers of Asia as well.
Dalai set up shop in GanguDaesh.
1965 War by
GanguDaesh was at the beshest of Soviets ...with all their advisors and equipment fully supporting the thrust of the war.
Before 1965 PakState was not inclined towards China that much... the ground realities of that war changed many perseptions. Hence the tilt towards China... in 1962 China asked Pakistan to take Kashmir but we followed our masters orders...
AyubKhan did offer
GanguDaesh a confederation against China if you recall but since the
GanguSovietCombine had other plans they rejected it...
the offer was also crafted NOT in Pakistan...
See we have tried our level best to be left alone let us live...
live and let live from DayOne has been Pakistan's Offer.
{BTW Benazir also offered this confederation to GanguDaesh while she was in so-called exile or whater...when she visited that unatural country. All part of the recorded history. Same as that ugly MC Altaffoo...same as AllooGoshtNoora and of course, murd e hur ... Mr. 90% ... ZAB and Zia didn't.
Mushy offered peace as well... GanguDaesh rejected all. Why?}
Operation 1971 started long before the end date or
EventHorizon of the Fall of Dakka... all the agents were recruited long before that ...even the
Beauty of BD and many of the leftwing/revolutionaries of
EastPakistan ... a combined operation of
Soviets and GanguCID...later to become RAW. All recorded and so no need to go over it.
Please, note that this is same time when we had have our
Surkhaz coming out of the woodworks... recruitment operations in Balochistan and KPK stared also in the 60s/late 50s... under the garb of EthonoFacism and RedRevolution of the Poletriat.
Masses need to be expolited, indeed!
Do you see now?
The Genesis of Two Front War against Pakistan. When
GanguTerroristArmy chief says that
GanguFacistRegime is ready to wage two front war he is refering to a
Two Front War Against Pakistan ... and to their credite they have been quite successful so far.
GanguTerroristRegime has killed 80k Paks and has caused us a loss of $220+Bln in loss to economy. Also, add the
KarachiWars into it... to see the scope.
Now coming back to 1971 please see that annexation of Sikkim and South Tibet... Yanks full efforts to penetrate Tibet along with Soviets in toe... turmoil within China ... in other words facilitating the creation of superstate one step further.. which
RSSTerrorists call as AkhandBaharat ...
Post successful dismembering of Pakistan the Soviets and GanguDaesh combine could move forward with their expansionist agend.
Russians in Afghanistan in 1979 and onslaught of
Hammer n Sikkel terror unleashed within Pakistan in those days... along with local agents/assets going against Pakistan and
The Idea of Pakistan in the name of Ethonofacism... ZAB got the chop... Yanks jumped in after we as PakState had no choice but to fight back.
Kindly, also note that after the Chinese became NuclearPower both the Yanks and Soviets helped GanguFacistRegime to become one...
SmilingBuddha ... please, note its timing... Russian/Americans helped with
GanguSpaceProgram rockets and all.
While the
AfghanKhoserJihad was in full swing GanguFacistRegime tried to be smart like Operation65... the famous
ZiaCricketDiplomacy explains the rest...
Please, also note that we, Paks, brougth PRC and US together... because of the Russians entering Afghanistan... a win-win of
that time... KKH started long before...
hence the CPEC. And protection of XinJiang and Tibet. By default GB and AJK.
Fall of the SovietUnion ensuing
New World Order, opening up of
China under Deng ... brilliant
CIA operation of TianamanSquare.... reunion of HongKong and Maccau.... Japanese recession... our lost decade of 90s...
ArmedFreedomStruggle of Kashmiris in the late 80s and early 90s... pressure on China through Dalai and then there was another cult... atomic explosions by us... sanctions... 9/11 ... AfghanWar2.0... GanguDaesh back in Afghanistan... 2002 stand off (
a repeat of the same as during the RajivGhandi time)...
Mushy's Wall in Kashmir... all part of War.
Mushy's desparte attempt to appeash GanguDaesh... almost donedeal...GanguFacists refuse at the last moment...all this is continuation of War .
In the
Hybridwar thread I have highlighted at least
SixVectors of the
Hybridwar on Pakistan... if you have time do contribute there...
EconomicTerrorists engineered the situation in such a way that we would end up with
IMF and
FATF...
COAS pleaded with the NooraRegime to act on both fronts but they didn't.
72 years brought us to
Feb27 and thence onto
27thSep ... and now what to do is your question?
Lest I foget
The Monkeys coming into Balochistan from Iran... whether with Iranian approval or them looking the other way is immaterial...
The Monkeys came and are coming and causing us harm. Same as Iranian armed drones coming in... Similarly NDA/RAW and their masters doing us harm... just couple of days ago there was terrorist attack killing JUI leader... though I suspect Fazuloo finger prints.. a terror attack nevertheless.
The total number of terror attacks in Balochistan and loss of our officers and soldiers in former FATA is alarming... we kill Ganguz on CFL and they kill us through terrorist proxies....
Now add to this
HongKongProtests and Extreme media campaign against Chinese XinJiang province combined with
TradeWar of the OrangeKing...with terror strikes in KSA/UAE ... I
ranian shooting down YankDrone ... attack on oil tankers... and
NO response from Yanks... with
Taliban PeaceTalkFailure at the very last moment...with
annexation of IoJK and curfew going into 57th day...
Turks going for strategic autonomy and slapped with tarrif.. hence Lyra going nose dive... economic attack..Qatar $15Bln bailout.. S400 and kicking out of F35 program (
@cabatli_53 ) ... Turks unbudging... now talks of reconciliations... Turks supporting us on Kashmir as always... President coming to Pakistan... start of TVChannel with Malaysi/Turkey...
Beauty of BD doing Dallas for
GanguDaesh in UNGA...
Mayors of Kabul doing the same... PMIK challenging the global/western narrative about
OurWorld...
non existent that it might be...
So what is the scope of War?
Who is the target?
Which are the
Battles/SteppingStones in the
Ladder of Choas?
As I requested yourself and
@Shane to look at the map... you can easily see that there are both Pakistan and Turkey offer the best/easiest access to
CentralAsia... SCO is great framework of economic and security integeration. Turkiye has been busy for quite sometime to have an integerated
TurkicWorld @Hakikat ve Hikmet and moving in that direction.
Pakistan has not done anything in this regard since the late 80s despite having enormous goodwill from
CentralAsianStates of that time post independence. PMIK needs to also take care of that part..along with million other things... I however would advise a SCO and TurkicWorld framework...
This War that we face is the continuation of the
SameWar that chopped us into pieces, destroyed OurWorld made us hollowmen and Cultureless...
Yes, We
Don't Have Our Culture Any More... at best it is
khichri. Despite the proclaimations of some
Ethnofacists here none of them possess any of their culture anymore.
In the
ColdWar Africa and we were the
KillingFields or
MeatGrinder as we were/are the
MeatGrinder of Persian-Arab Conflict with high level
SecterianConditioning of OurPeople... when they stopp being Paks and become more Chatholic than the Pope .
StuntedGrowth to blame?
So, it is vital that we accept that
our networth in the grandscheme of things or
On The Grand Chessboard is that of
cheap meat... in the same way our
MarasiPoliticians and
CriminalEnterprise sees us... we shall fail to adopt any comprehesive strategy for survival for whatever we have left.
The Comprehesive National Strength of
China and the
BRI is mortal threat to the existing
Global Power Architecture ... it wishes to keep China nicely bogged down... with Hybridwar...
China not being Pakistan can and is fighting back.
The US can sink Trillions into wars and walk away without loosing much... because it can successfully export its inflation to the rest of the world ...because of the Dollar thing
@ps3linux and Yuan is slowly changing that.
Please, note GoP has directed all provinces to pay the Chinese companies in Yuan... Russia has been trying to do the same..
F22 is a policy instruement and
not the strength of America... it is the existing
Global Financial Architecture based on Dollar which gives the US power.
Now in this
War the promotion of GanguDaesh for past decade is quite obvious... I mean it is not that the West is so enthused with the beauty and depth of GanguDaesh... it is the same utility with which this unatural, illegal entity was created... hence, the looking the other way policy of the West since the very beginning.. be it
annexation of Hyderabad or Sikkim or South Tibet or now IoJK....
Since, we are
Not Fighting Against FacistGanguRegime alone as we
never had... so just dropping nukes on GanguDaesh directly is not the best option though my dear
Kraken @Retired Troll has been advocating it
ad infinitrum.
So can we fight this War of WorldDominace? Can we fight it alone? NO!
This brings me back to why I said
Kashmir is a Battleground and not war .. herein
@Signalian and I were discussing about the possibilities and different scenarios in the CFL thread in the PakArmySeciton... please, note that it is just tactics and NOT Strategy.
War.
As you know this
SameOldWar now has
9 Vectors/Aspects/Facets and each has three siblings...and same division again... need to be applied from
Strategy to
TheatreOps to
Tactics...
One hopes that we have
WarGamed all 9 of these...and have done clinical assessments in all... please, also note that
GanguTerroristArmy has now access to RealTime intelligence through their US allies due to their StrategicAgreement.
We do the same!
We are not fighting against the GanguTeroristArmy alone... as we have never done.. and this time it is no different either. We need to find our counter measures which we have been doing quite ruthlessly.
Now this brings us to IoJK Battle...
I give 100 out of 100 to PakArmedForces and GoP on how they have handled it so far and I know we find it too painful to see
Our PakKashmbiris being in the meatgrinder of
GanguTerrorism and
Our PakWomen being raped...
@newb3e .. however, we have let GanguFacistRegime and its grandmasters to open up the BattleField for us... which we couldn't because of
Mushy's Wall.
No, we have NOT lost Kashmir... far from it. Remember, I have always said we live in a
Hybridworld and
OurStruggle is Hybrid.
The way PMIK has gone on to Attack mode has NOT happened in our
72 years of Appeasement of Ganguz history...
We wish and we shall turn IoJK into the
Slaughterhouse of GanguTerroristArmy .... and at the same time
OurStrategy in the
SameOldWar this time is the
Containment of GanguFacistRegime ....
6Days War has 6Days and 6Nights ... and we have been subjected to GanguTerror for past 72 years.
@Signalian and I did discuss certain ideas but they are not for open discussion...
We win this War!
Chin up Paks,... and remember should we loose this War there won't be any Pakistan left.
Do you, anyone of you truly understand
The Idea of Pakistan?
@PakSword just to give you an idea of effects of Hybridwar on Pakistan just listen to the speech in NA today!
@Slav Defence @Oscar @Irfan Baloch @Khafee @WebMaster @Horus @Dubious @The Eagle @Arsalan Paks, I do understand that we have failed in our governance, in morality and perhaps much more... however, good people like you can help enormously the YoungPaks here to remain PakPositive and together we help them understand the Idea of Pakistan.
