Ayaz Amir seems to have a short attention span himself Terrorism has not been eliminated but it is on the run, its force blunted. As a result, the sense of hopelessness defining Pakistan’s state of mind just the middle of last year is no more. There’s hope in the air that Pakistan’s condition is fin...

The reason for variation in practice is uncertainty in assessments of actual threats being confronted—disagreement about how to interpret evidence of the nature and extent of a given adversary’s intentions and capabilities.

I have absolutely no doubt that Pakistan is busy organizing Chechen rebels, so that "suppressing" them can be its gun-to-the-head and service for its new friend, Russia. I am quite sure that the russians are far less boneheaded than the americans, in that they will make pakistan face the ...

CRamS, that disease is more widespread among the Indian polity than you think, but thankfully none of them drive policy, including the ex-MEA types or praveen swami -- they can all sip their spirits and bloviate about how hyper-nationalists are stopping peace between India and Pakistan but the army ...

http://www.dawn.com/news/1202534/no-terrorist-network-left-capable-of-operating-in-pakistan-nisar So the Paki Nisar's article claiming "all terrorist networks have been eliminated by curb-e-zam-zam" is to con the US to pay up the rent money on time, but looks like that is not working this...

Cyril Almeida once again proves that pakjabi belonging to any religion is still a RAPE pakjabi. Blame Nawaz First, note similarity in view between this paki and the likes of Praveen Swami and the Ex-MEA types. Specifically, the problem with "the wording of ufa document" was that it does gi...

Is that statement some well known epistemological conjecture? Sounds good. Perhaps you need to watch pakistan a bit more first, if you want to term judgement calls based on the weight of past precedent as conjectures, then you are not considering available information, which makes you view quite de...

But I do have a nagging feeling that it could have been done better. But I am trying to give up my perfectionism. Your premise is that there exists some "perfect formulation" of words that would have brought out different outcomes this time is mostly baseless -- which was illustrated with...

If ever there are going to be talks again, just try to imagine how much will work will need to go into it. Food for thought? Not sure why this "talking to pakistan" is even a concern. Why would an future interaction require any more work than this time around? The same fundamentals can re...

http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/jk-army-major-forces-local-to-pose-with-ak-47-threatens-to-kill-him/ The paki crowd in the valley makes up stories about the Indian army, given how there is no indication of who this mysterious "army major" was. The Indian Express report...

Pakis assaults are likely to be the usual: 1) more firing on the LoC 2) whining in the UN general assembly (we all know how many people were around in the UNGA last time he did that 3) more terrorism in India. 1 is being handled well already 2 is ignorable 3 requires India working with UAE and other...

There is also something known as "need to know", just saying. And besides how does anyone know that orgs were not involved, outside of the claims made by the ex-MEA types? As other people have pointed out the ufa draft was signed off by the MEA and the FS, implying they were in the loop, s...

Seems like the ex-MEA clique does not include serving folks in the MEA going by the ex-MEA bickering that sidelines the contribution of the MEA team in the Ufa process. Need to remember that next time one of the ex-MEA types makes grand proclamations of the kind seen recently. Pretty silly behavior ...

Tuvaluan

More exacting language in the past has not had any effect of how pakis behave w.r.t. India -- that alone nullfies any pretense that better specification of the Ufa agreement would have yielded different results. It is not like such things have not already been tried w.r.t. pakistan in the past, and ...

As Stephen Colbert astutely asked someone who was going about "using reason and logic on violent people", "so what do you do, if he pulls out a knife and stabs you?". The Paki army will just kill Nawaz Sharif is he steps too far out of line, and NS knows that damn well too. So NS...

With Ufa, pakis are doing the whole 1947 resolutions con job again -- change the ground situation and violate the preconditions of the agreement and then pretend that India is beholden to do its part even after violation of all the preconditions. It is amusing to see this pretense that pakis always ...

Tuvaluan

The ex-MEA type people (and some other types as well) have expressed that the language of the terms and conditions in Ufa was not clearly specified enough to keep the agenda for the talks confined to terrorism. As the ex-deputy NSA has stated (posted earlier on this thread) -- exact language does n...

You know an anal-ist is an asshat when he quotes the Brookings mofo Stephen Cohen as an expert on sooth asia. The utterly cretinous US lackey Rajamohan from ORF does his anal-e-sis of the recent ufa hullaballoo. The war only lasts a hundred years because shitistan is kept on life support by the US, ...

A significant number of INC mofos support not only setting LoC as IB but also trifurcation of the valley, in the name of pragmatism. Thank goodness for PVNR -designed 1994 resolution that rules out such compromise by political parties.

I think KLNMurthy's description of just regular cliquish behavior and khujli re: doval explains KCSingh's asshattery. Apparently he is "intrigued" by the "signals" sent by this NSA meeting "deadlock", and did some anal-e-sys in siddarth varadarajan's blog.

Fault the idiots in MEA for the UFA stupidity. Doval is batting under his capability and average. It is pretty clear that Ufa idiocy was the brainchild of the MEA, as they have been repeating this same idiocy as pak policy for decades. For the first time, India has acted as unpredictably as Pakista...

Geopolitical forecasting Mildly related -- some qualities that help with being good at forecasting. 1) They change their mind, frequently and in little bits. According to Good Judgment Project 2) work in teams 3) Make actual predictions 4) You have to know at least a little (about the topic)

On second thought, the pakis also exhibit the same mindset that insists India make all the concessions. How many times have we heard "India needs to be more large hearted and make concessions to us terrorists in this terrorist nation" speech from various pakis? This is the same mindset the...

GoI - MEA and NSA should call out the recent actions from Pakistan that they indeed do want to justify terrorism as an instrument of state policy and corner them in the propaganda war. It will be an opportunity missed not do do so. opportunity missed how exactly? It is not like people are not aware...

Almost all the "experts ", Indian or foreign, who advise India to do this and that with Pakistan, just want the paki nuisance to stop, if only for the moment. The easiest way to do that is to put pressure on the reasonable party, especially if he feels an obligation to keep up his "g...

Former NSA Leela Ponappa too feels that the talks between the two NSAs were based on “unrealistic expectations”. “I think even after Ufa it was dubious what could of come of this kind of engagement.

Farooq Abdullah and the Muftis are striking a pose for the valley voters because they occupy a disproportionate number of seats in the J&K assembly -- the valley voter seats need to go down in number for any of these tools to stop pretending that the valley represents the entire state.

So Nawaz had two options: either split the difference between Modi and the boys in Ufa or wait a few months more and let the outside pressure build on Modi. So hopefully this is just the view of a paki, because if "outside pressure" is a factor in Indian GoI decision making, all is lost a...

Pakis are not about to stop the LoC firings or anything else -- the puppetmasters are yet to feel any real pain for their actions against India for decades. All this "improve the Indian economy" to fight pakistan is a load of horsesh1t -- both can be done. It is not either-or.
