Wasn't following the news much, but you are right, this was so blatant he got arrested. I guess he faces court martial at some point. I don't think a (life time) prison sentence is enough for this kind of heinous thing....but even death is short justice. Some stuff is just so depraved there is...

IK was not true secular guy though to (credibly/effectively) do the latter part....nor does a PM have the power to do it (unless the Fauj is on board with it). He got the moniker "Taliban Khan" as he did his fair share of supporting (esp pakthun) islamism for expedient political base...

Becoming more true each day.

Even if US relationship "improves" with Pakistan this year or next (say President Biden does call Mr. Sharif at some point to illustrate this and break precedence of how its been so far with PMIK since early 2021).... ....I very much doubt it will improve to any significant level to include...

@HTurk @Ryder @guest12 et al..... ZING! (Told ya this hypocrisy will be brought up as needed, to their faces). Addendum to this earlier convo:

Very doubtful. He has burned a number of bridges and salted lot of the approaches to those bridges (with the bulk "quieter" electorate and more crucially the Army bigwigs that keep close finger to wind on their overall control and response in the political circus they the army set up...

Yah she is not communist, but could easily pose as one with a few alterations in official wording/ideology I suppose. I think thats what the poster was somewhat hinting at in jest (though not sure) Essentially (often) if you take a communist or staunch socialist and you prioritise another...

I have combined Wargaming into the thread's subject material, after considering opening it separately as well (members involved can still elect for this by telling me and I will do so if they prefer). This way it saves the amount of clicking involved (to navigate the two threads) and the...

At the political extremes, they start to resemble each other on far-left and far-right....give me the power, trust no one else, extreme identity politics etc. It is more a horseshoe than a linear line. (Though IMO, its more complicated than even that, but still that is illustrative enough its...

Yes the evidence is showing up in lot of areas increasingly of this phenomenon that is baked in. They’re running out of trained crews, concluding their enlisted men know nothing, and are now pissing away officers with valuable skills in other areas because they might be able to think and make...
