Tuvaluan, again with respect I disagree. Its more of a posturing than reality when it comes to Pakistan. I have a firm belief that a civilizational entity like China cannot be compared as equal equal to Pakistan. Yes they are preparing to fight against all enemies and that too simultaneously if necessary. Anybody will do that. We too did it like described in earlier post even when we were very weak. My point is China is NOT a stupid country. Yes, they are prone to make mistakes but repeating the same mistake? I could be proved wrong and will accept that if such a situation occurs but do not think China will shoot herself in foot doing that. This would be a dream come true for western powers. India and China climbing escalation ladder but both countries are sane enough to avoid that.

Anyways they cannot take on so many powers at the same time and they know it.
You mean "the civilizational entity" that killed 50 million of its own and destroyed all of its historical artefacts and had to manufacture spurious ones to diplay to foreigners? (I know this from a chinese authority of chinese historical artefacts that the Chinese govt. manufactures most of the Tang era and XYZ era pottery etc. because they destroyed most of them in the great leap forward). China today is not the same "civilizational power" -- it is a communist regime that seems to follow its own drummer, and that drummer is not playing any "civilizational tunes". By all appearance, and a lot of lurking on chinese forums, the only lesson the chinese seem to have learnt is "if you have money and power, you throw it around and do whatever you want with it" which seems to precisely describe the cr@p they are doing these days, such as trying to usurp the territories of all of its neighbours all around by pretending that "ancient china" was in control of these territories or just laying claim because they know that smaller countries cannot defend themselves. If you are going to defend chinese behaviour in the recent past, you have to do a lot better than to point to their "civilizational ethos" to explain all their actions.Its more of a posturing than reality when it comes to Pakistan. I have a firm belief that a civilizational entity like China cannot be compared as equal equal to Pakistan. Yes they are preparing to fight against all enemies and that too simultaneously if necessary. Anybody will do that.

These multiple loop backs have an effect of amplifying each other and making the situation worse. For instance, in step 6, their food distribution will also be affected and probably ability to grow food (without electricity, pumping water to fields is going to get a lot harder).

So, pretty soon, Pakistanis are literally going to be sitting in the dark, cold, starving and stinking to high heaven.
I suppose we'll truly find out if the 3.5 masters will ever allow Pakis to FAIL big time.ArmenT wrote:So, pretty soon, Pakistanis are literally going to be sitting in the dark, cold, starving and stinking to high heaven.

In the old days - the army would take over by now and claim that the suffering is because of India's aggression and that people need to make sacrifices. That option is unavailable now because the army is actually tied up in the west rather than pretending to be tied up in the east, but in reality free to run/loot the country.ArmenT wrote:The Pakistanis are caught in a vicious cycle with multiple loops:

I tried to see if there was a full video of this speech, he had promised to elaborate more about some things - can't find it yet.
I think, and I may be wrong here, Mr. SS has been tracking china as has Mr. Suraj following chinese news sources in the local language.Simple question -- who are the china-hands at BRF. Do we have a Doc, a Mangolian, a JrJr and a SS in that domain? I dont venture into china related threads.
With the Islamabad High Court (IHC) ready to take up the Salmaan Taseer murder case on Jan 27, it seems that the federal government’s law officers are reluctant to appear in court against the convict, Mumtaz Qadri.
An IHC division bench consisting of Justice Noorul Haq N. Qureshi and Justice Shaukat Aziz Siddiqui will hear the case from Tuesday, but so far, none of the prosecutors assigned to the case have agreed to appear in court.
A senior law officer told Dawn that in addition to the sensitivity of the case, the law officers deputed in the IHC are not well-versed in criminal law, but rather have experience with general civil cases. {Pakistan lawyers are largely secular, with less than 10% of the lawyers garlanding Qadri after he had assassinated Taseer. Most lawyers practice the gentle civil version of the law and not the extremist criminal law which is foreign to the subcontinent.} This is also why many are trying to avoid becoming prosecutors in the Taseer murder case.

Slight time machine malfunction happened and that has taken pakistan all the way back to 786 CE instead of 1940 CE. They only have to wait 1200 years before the Quaid shows up and saves all of them.

You laugh now, but with no electricity and nowhere to go without petrol and four wives each, pakistan will overtake china in population in 4 years.

Osamabad- Advisor on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz has expressed the hope that US President Barack Obama's visit to South Asia, will help reduce tension in the region.
Talking to journalists in Islamabad today, he said the cherished goal of progress and prosperity in the region cannot be achieved without improving relations, between Pakistan and India.
Sartaj Aziz said peace in the region is in the interests of everyone. He said US Secretary of State John Kerry was apprised of Pakistan's reservations on various issues, during his recent visit to Osama.
BEIJING/RAW AL PINDI: The most trusted, strongest and reliable ally of Islamabad, China on Sunday termed Pakistan a solid strategic partner.The reaffirmation of the decades-long and all-weather partnership came amid Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Raheel Sharif’s official visit to China, during which he called on China’s Vice Chairman Central Military Commission, Gen Fan Changlong in Beijing. During the unprecedented meeting held in a warmth and cordial atmosphere on Sunday morning, Gen Fan termed Pakistan-China as solid strategic partners, most important neighbours and iron brothers, ISPR Director General Gen Asim Saleem Bajwa tweeted on social media.Showing solidarity with people of Pakistan, armed forces versus any challenge, Gen Fan praised the success of Zarb-e-Azb military operation against terrorists and termed it bold, hard blow for terrorists, without any discrimination. Gen Fan praised national consensus to combat terrorism, Pakistan’s resolve, efforts and sacrifices in fighting the menace of terrorism. He also assured China’s full support to Pakistan in its fight against terrorism. The COAS said that with nation’s support, Pakistan armed forces are fully determined and will go to any extent to eliminate terrorism from our soil.
General Raheel held a meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Gen Qi Jianguo and discussed full range of regional security and defence related issues. According to ISPR, the matters pertaining to bilateral cooperation including enhanced long-term defence collaboration, security and counter terrorism cooperation, intelligence sharing and training exchanges were discussed in the meeting. Earlier at his arrival, General Raheel Sharif was presented Guard of Honour at the People’s Liberation Army Headquarters. He reviewed guard of honor along with his Chinese counterpart.

Yes Shreeman, agree that it is weak; it was more of a historic perspective. Actually I also backtrack on my last post. To start with...I was wrong in putting emphasis on civilization aspect and Tuvaluan is right in his argument. Don't want to go into time wasting abstract concepts of what is civilization. To put in simple terms it is nothing more than people living on a given chunk of land, their culture, practices, lifestyle, their products etc. in short a cumulative history of all of this combined. This history also includes the mistakes they made including monumental blunders some of them result in the demise of the very same civilization. Now just because a civilization exists for a long time is no guarantee that it will not make blunders again. Our civilization made mistakes too and will make in future as well. Policy makers cannot rely on such ideas.Shreeman wrote:Shankk,
