One thing guys. When the revolution happened in Iran and Shah fell lot of my mates were Iranian students from Iran. They drank, they went clubbing, had English girlfriends, pretended to be all rich but I was surprised how they seemed to be pro the revolution. It kind of was absurd. They were...

Yep. This seems more plausible. Chinese experiance in managing their people is something Iran ruling theocrats could do with.

Agreed. And not "maybe" but absolutely NO.

You make it binary. Yes, there is pressure on Iran because of the sanctions on steriods brought about by Trump. But that does not mean Iran has to give the key, the front and arse. There is lot space on the continuum before you get there. I know Iranian psyche. Fundamentally they are biased...

I can't read your source but it is highly dubious going by the claims your making. Over time for variety of reasons Iranians have become a paranoid society that suspects everything. The last thing you can expect is them agreeing to Chinese soldiers on their soil. Trade yes. Sodiers no. So relax...

Hahaha well said. You made a valid point about why was Nawaz allowed to go abroad. I suspect lot of this has to do with Prime Minister Imran Khan unfortunately having a very weak mandate. His government sits atop a confused, conlicted and divided polity. It is a weak coalition government. Faced...

I saw that SOB on TV. He looks more healthy than Imran Khan. These people know to act. Before he left Pakistan we were told he is about to die. Now look at him. Anbd you know what annoys me? When he calls PMIK "selected". This is Nawaz the illigitmate spawn of Gen. Zia.

True but do note they are not Sand and Oil. The south western tip of the peninisula is mountains and has rivers. Very true. What me must keep in mind is that true Arabs were on the arse end of history. Always peripheral. Nobody bothered with them and even did not even bother conquering them...

Things not looking good here in UK. As was suggested by some experts COVID-19 cases would begin to rise as we left the summer and began heading toward the winter months. And this is exactly what has happened. Not good news. Bad. Real bad.

Growing Turkish soft power in Pakistan. Ertrugul's Dogan Alp opening a housing development in Islamabad called "Blue World City" which will have a copy of Istanbul's Blue Mosque in the centre. He makes the comment about why all the men around him are tall. What he does not know is that Pakistan...

Welcome guys.

On my recent visit I saw these firing ranges near Jhelum. I was touring the area doing a historical study tour of the location where Alexander the Great and his Greeks fought the local ruler Porus on the banks of Jhelum River in what is known as Battle of Hydaspes. How ironic the same area where...

Good news. All the cheap knock off by Pakistan Heavy Industries like Al-Khalid, Al-Haider or Al-Whatever were just trash to please the fanboys. In the business of war there is no room for fanboy sentiments. PA needed a new tank that would bring it up to the new millenium instead of depending on...

The tragedy for Pakistan was that with discovery of oil in Arabian peninsula it enabled the most backward of Arabs as opposed to Levantine Arabs, Magreb or Egypt to gain influence via petro-dollars which arrested Pakistani society for at least three generations. Pakistan is unique in that it as...

I think we need to really be aware of what we mean by "Arabs" which is a rather loose, imprecise term for various peoples, with various histories and living in various geographies who today happen to speak Arabic. There is not much similarties between a Arab speaking Amazig from Algeria, to...

I think you need to correct that.

Why?

I am going start posting videos on what makes Pakistan interesting, unique and off the beaten track. I begin with TRT's Eva Zubeck's report. Pakistan is a incredible mash up of geographies and collage of differant ethnic groups.

I believe that was coloured because of Iraqi Kurdistan - who are Iranic people.
