29th of October is coming, so is there any news from the "Ayyıldız Karargah" new HQ for the TAF / TSK? I mean it is supposed to be on that day which is very near now... I hope there won't be any delay.
I hope they don't go forward with that. Its a literal bulls-eye masquerading as a military HQ. Stupid, stupid idea.

I would do my hq remote or underground.

Pentagon like stuff is all relics of the cold war.

Basically show off to everybody look at our new shiny hq. But modern warfare has also painted it such a big target.

Yes Jinnah is very complicated figure, just like most of the contemporaries of the political movements of that time period.

It is long conversation I have had with folks like Joe Shearer and Saiyan. As well as many other wise Indians and Pakistanis in whatsapp groups I am part of.

The basic issue is the state was created as majoritarian-religion principle (for the Muslims of the subcontinent, where they were in majority).

Jinnah never shied away from this after his breakup with INC. He was congress party person originally, many forget...and held a fond protege identity w.r.t GK. Gokhale: https://www.thenews.com.pk/tns/detail/562382-jinnah-naoroji-gokhale

The breakup was due to (among souring personal and trust relationships that were fraying with other congress leaders) issue of separate electorate and minimum representations federally and so on (all on basis of religion).....that he was acting as interlocutor for many other muslim groups with the INC (who it was felt at the time were the apex of progressive self-rule movement from the British at the time).

He did have long term vision in some quotes where religion would become less relevant for Pakistan in the long term....but it stands in contrast to many other quotes he has also made (often brought up by subject matter experts like Ishtiaq Ahmed). Secularism cannot revovled around just one or two quotes (and ignoring the context why they were made).

What his feelings would have been w.r.t the flawed objectives resolution compromise (that many argue is the original sin of the Islamism in legal ideology and larger praxis that has since grown and expanded especially under Zia admin) put forward by the constituent assembly is of course unknown, as he passed away....and as you note his political power was and would have been limited whatever the constituent assembly proceeded.

It is schrodingers cat situation given his conflicting statements (they all have to be looked at, rather than selectively picking) and the fact he convened this constituent assembly (and knew well many of the legal minds within it and their positions)....they saw themselves as equal stakeholders to Pakistan's setup under the overall guidance of Jinnah.

It is all incredibly different to Ataturk. Ataturk saw religion was a poor binding glue given his experience with the Ottoman empire. Turkiye was not made a homeland for Ottoman empire's muslims (many co-religionists undermined and rebelled against Ottoman authority). It is almost an inverted raison d'etre used in Pakistan's proto-state ecosystem (to assert against INC especially as things came to a head in the 30s and 40s).

This is why Ataturk picked staunch secularism as the republic's founding (there was never any doubt, the equivalent of the constituent assembly were told in no uncertain terms it would be part of basic law/article of the consitution iirc)....and Ataturk was closely involved in the early republic for many number of years and wielded considerably political power to set up modern Turkiye's "breakfast" so to speak.

@Afif et al. and all those interested in Jinnah and Pakistan's formation may find this interview interesting to listen to and research further according to their interest. Hoodbhoy raises a number of the same points I made in my reply and gives some more context as well.


In an interview to discuss his analysis and portrait of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, in his new book ‘Pakistan: Origins, Identity and Future’, Pervez Hoodbhoy, who is internationally recognized for his championing of constitutional and human rights, says Jinnah “was not a deep thinker … Jinnah had many other virtues, but he did not have a blueprint charting out the future of Pakistan. As a tactician he was brilliant. But he was not a strategist … the absence of a clear vision meant that Pakistan would continue to wallow in confusion, unable to fix its national priorities and goals”.

@Saiyan0321 hopefully gives his thoughts on it when he drops by next time.

Turkiye Kibris'da kaybetseydi.

Kibris Turkleri icin bizim Filistini olcakdi cunku bakarsan o zamanlar. Bati, Turklerin soykirimi onayladi.

Bugun Israilin soykirimi onayladi. Ama hala insan haklari konusurlar.

Turkiye icin bi guzel derse olmasi lazim.

Ekonomi ve ordu teknolojide guclu olmasi lazim hemde nuklear silah almasi ve gelistirmesi lazim.

Dear brother, I have installed "Grammarly" on my PC so that I can develop my Grammar, as well as improve my English skills. Try to use it, bro, it will serve you well.
I hate the automatic input system of smart phone , it always change my sentences to a incorrect one.

Afghans had a pretty sensational game versus Pakistan (and England earlier).

The consummate ease they handled Pakistan with, is producing lot of delectable salt for me hehe.

That sh*t was crazy today.


Here is my prediction. The four semi finalists would be-
1. India
2. New Zealand
3. South Africa (my team btw)
4. Australia

70% Chance India win this if they make to the final. (I had doubts about Rohit's ability to lead, but he is doing fine.)

EGM bütçesini abartı bir şekilde artırarak Jandarma bütçesiyle birlikte 3 kuvvet komutanlıktan ( Hvk ,Dnkk , KKK) fazla bir bütçe ayırmak hangi mantığa sığar anlamış değilim. İki tarafın personel sayısı nerdeyse denk , egmye fırkateyn uçak alımı yapmayacaklarına göre m60 tanklarının modernizasyonunu egm üstlenmeyeceğine göre bu savunma bütçesi niye böyle paylaştırıldı ? . Bir emniyet teşkilatının bütçesi bir askeri kuvvetinkinden nasıl fazla olabilir ya , maaş desen askeri personelerinki daha yüksek diye biliyorum ağır silah ihtiyaçları yok bölgede rekabet edecekleri bir güç yok ülkenin emniyetinden asayişinden sorumlusun sen ufak tefek harekat operasyon haricinde düzenli birliklerle konvansiyonel savaşta bulunmayacaksın savaş uçağı muharip gemi gibi cep delen ihtiyaçların yok temin edeceğin en pahalı araçlar yalçın kirpi tarzı zpt ve sınırlı sayıda s-70 helikopterler akıllı mühimmat seyir füzeler gibi ihtiyacın yok .

aklım almıyor arkadaş , tam ar-ge çalışmalar bitti yüklü miktarda alım için gereken bütçe sonunda tahsis edildi diye sevinmiştim yarısından fazlası EGM'ye Jandarmaya ayrıldı , hadi jandarmayı anlarım seferberlik durumda Kara kuvvetlerine bağlanacak askeri düzeyde eğitim görüyorlar ağır silahlar bulunduruyorlar da emniyet 11 küsür milyar dolar bütçe nedir . ar-ge işlemi bitip seri üretim aşamasına gelen araç gereçlere sevinemeyeceğiz yine 5-10 adet üretip konuyu kapatacağız.

her olayda, orman yangından depremine hastalığından seline , milletimizin imdadına yetişen Türk ordusuna yeterli bir bütçe niye fazla görülüyor

bir de 10 bin futbol sahası büyüklüğünde askeri arsayı talan ediliyor ... söylenecek söz kalmadı artık

Ülke içinde yapılan modernizasyonlar ve kamu kurumları tarafından üretilen araç,gemi, optik, sensör, silah mühimmat vs için belki ödeme yapmıyordur MSB? Kurumlar arası hibe gibi bir sistem olabilir.
