Yeah, Pakistan CONTROLLING Tunisia!! Its one thing to be having good friendly relations with other states, another altogether to be influencing their policy making and laws. We are in no position to be doing the second.

Nothing happens in isolation.

When the going gets tough, then tough gets going.

Thinking big is good,
Thinking stupid is not,

We will develop a fifth gen fighter is thinking big, we will use it to attack and conquer USA is thinking stupid.

There is a difference, difference between being optimistic and delusional.

Ambassador meeting took place, trade was discussed and you come up with "good we should control them and make them change their laws". This is not thinking big, its being childish.

in case u misread my advice, let me remind you that i also mentioned in the very next sentence that think long term and always have a plan in your mind!

Its upto the individual if this long term plan is based on delusions. Think Big, long term and have a plan a long term plan in your mind is the key for success......You have to analyse my advice by putting everything together. Because as i said this to you before as well, nothing works in ISOLATION!

Abb samjha Kakay?

I read that. But understand what a plan is,, its a strategy deviced after careful study of all related factors. Its based on available information, relevant results and other similar data. So once again, calling meeting discussing trade as leading to controling the country and making their laws in neither thinking big nor having a plan.

yr confusing strategy with what is called Vision.....to achieve that vision, we develop a plan, to implement that plan in broad manner and on macro level we develop a strategy same way as you said, then for its micro level implementation/ or for its actions it we develop tactics....

Like since 2000s, we decided that we will cleanse the country of extremists/terrorists(vision) then we developed a plan to broadly implement that decision/vision which was fighting this ideology both religious and liberal extremism because they fuel eachother...........then we developed strategies to address that plan in the strategy, we developed to effectively removing both forms of this extremism both violent and non violent manner.
Then same tactics, military was trained hard on CI entire, training course revised rewritten, social media was used, for counter narrative media was used to tell people abt 4/5th gen warfare etc etc....military action was launched, both covertly and overtly, etc etc.......Now this was for tackling the violent extremists religious ones......For non Violent extremist liberals, we now doing what we r doing, hitting the source of problem, developing its counter narrative etc etc ban INGOs etc still we havnt gained however much in this front and r still struggling.......

So see the pattern? thats what im talking about......something which started from just a decision/vision. Rest is history.

Abb samjhay kakay?

nothing happens in isolation and without purpose, muft ki to jannat b nai milty lallay!!!!!

No dear, your are mixing up vision with delusion. Plus a couple of more things for you to help in future, vision is not "achieved", those are goals. Vision is an idea. As long as the idea can be accomplished via tools at hand or there is a logical reason or hope for it to be achievable, it remains a vision. If not, it becomes delusion.

Also your example of the war against terrorism is not appropriate here. It was a vision in fact, we made it our missions, we devised a strategy, we trained and educated our people and forces to achieve it and got there. It was totally different from labeling a meeting where trade and cooperation was discussed as something like "good, lets control then and changer their laws"

Again, if you think that we can do that, OR, that the meeting can be the start of such a process, well, you can call it vision if you want, for me, its just a delusion. A non related, out of the blue illogical delusion.

haha Pakistan is a country which is the Castle of Islam infact the last standing castle......and as time has progressed it has became stronger and stronger so much so that it is credited with slaying two superpowers, the latter one by using its own money against them.....

Now what Tunisia has a chance against our might?
U will have to fall in line eventually! or else you will be made to suffer the insufferable!

We dont have a choice buddy, we follow the path of Allah and its he who guides us and gives us victory....and we will continue to follow his path
