This is true. We must keep in mind iran had a glorious history before advent of Islam. Defeat by Arabs and introduction to Islam has left a scar on Persian mind. Add this historical sentiment to the forced Islam y the state on the people - many of whom are now closet athiests has turned many...

I take it that is a tangential referance to me?

Says a guy who gave a rant about Pakistan. Imran Khan is a populist just like Modi only Imran Khan is not a uncouth chaiwallah but a sophisticated man who is at home in the west as much as in Pakistan. His background is philanthropist and has dedicated his life since he retired from professional...

I guess the captain of this ship will strugle to get a job again. This guy achieved a bigger naval blockade then any navy has ever achieved and with 100% success. Nothing moves through sending global trade into meltdown. I guess he can always drown his sorrows with a stiff drink in company of...

Learn a lesson from basic book on propaganda. When you spread a lie at make it believable.

One thing you will notice is all superpowers of their time end up with what can described as imperial hubris and sense of exceptionalism. The pharaohs of Ancient Egypt did this, the might Romans did this and so did Britain when it song Rule Britannia. Today the Americans carry this air of...

America has been the global power since nearly a century. This gives it incredible lead but China is closing in fast. The real swing date will be 2050. At that point Chinese GDP will be vastly larger than USA which will translate into massive economic influence and huge military. This is when...

That does not matter. It is the implied or probable threat. Because of the high profile given to threats from these types just a glance in that direction will lead to the system going into over drive. So for instance in this case the teacher will use this "threat" to knock off from work for...

Frankly, if I could I would give 99 lashings to each parent. I would not condone what the teacher did. I suspect it was a mistake, most teachers in UK and particularly those who teach in ethnic minority areas are as left as can be and I doubt they would do this on purpose unless they had death...

I read this earlier today on Tribune but never did it cross my mind it was our 'Saiyan'. And did not know your a Yousafzai wrora. High five to you. I had you as a Punjabi brother. @Saiyan0321

Thank you for the reply. You went into extreme detail but you failed to address the simple question. Why has India not visited a catastrophic defeat on Pakistan? Being one the largest militaries in the world six mile advance with two pincers would leave Pakistan in a desperate position with...

As a student of history I have no doubt it will. For bad or good it will happen. At end of the day "money talks". There is nothing more potent then money in the long term. Economics is the primary human driver even it might be dressed under other isms. For most of the human history China has...

A more detailed report that referances what informed Pakistan's policy post 2001 toppling of Taliban. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-111shrg55243/html/CHRG-111shrg55243.htm

Musharraf also mentioned the Northern Alliance, an anti-Taliban opposition group that has used the U.S. strikes to advance on a major Afghan city, Mazar-i-Sharif, from which it could potentially launch an attack on the capital Kabul. Pakistan has traditionally condemned the alliance, which has...

It would take some effort for me to find some source to confirm this but until then I want you to use your your common sense. Would any country allow willingly to piggyback it's enemies into power? Does that make sense? I gave the example of PKK. Would Istanbul provide a logistical shoulder to...

It's called trying to extract the maximum out of a bad deal.

Let me clarify the donkey that @Nilgiri and @VCheng have thrown in here and began to thrash. About the US officers, Haqqani network blah, blah. The so called infamy by Pakistan of 'running with the hares and hunt with the hounds'. And see who really was duplicitous and outright cheap cheater...

Honestly, what you said almost word by word could describe my experiance. I did not chose to be born in UK. It was and is failure of Pakistani society that people have to migrate. I mean I am happy being British. I am absolutely destined to die here as a UK citizen. I would like to think I am...

I see this tension in ex-pat Pakistani's as well. I am from that group that wants wholesale copy of what is best in the lands like UK where many Pakistani's migrate. This vote with feet is testimony that the systems in UK are better. All I want is those in Pakistan instead of flaffing about just...

Again this has nothing to do with helicopter engines. And if you want to live in the past I can cite Indian sponsorship of Tamil Tiger terrorists and you only got second thoughts after a Tamil terrorist decided to do a suicide puja and blew your Prime Minister down the Holy Ganga.
