@kishelap @tparsi Pakistan is mediating between the Iran and the US, not Iran and Israel. The United states /= to Israel

English

Mav@kishelap·1h

lol. How can someone be a mediator when they have rabid animosity towards one party in the conflict and their passport even says ‘not valid for Israel’. Mediators are supposed to be as neutral as they can (no one is perfect. But atleast keep your feelings aside during specific talks).

Lindsey Graham has attacked EVERY mediator that has tried to resolve the US-Iran conflict BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT THE CONFLICT RESOLVED! And why is Pakistan a problematic mediator? The first reason Graham cites is Pakistan's animosity toward Israel...

Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC

It has been apparent to me for quite a while that Pakistan as a mediator is more than problematic. Their animosity towards Israel is long standing. It is undeniable that Iranian military aircraft are being housed on Pakistani air bases and past rhetoric from the highest Pakistani officials against Israel is disturbing. As to the defense minister’s comments about the Abraham Accords, saying that Pakistan would never join because they don’t trust Israel: The clip may be a year old, but I fear the sentiment is fresh. In that regard, it is imperative that Pakistan give an answer now to President Trump’s call to join the Abraham Accords.

@History__Speaks Dude lots of people have various and shifting levels of observance. These guys seem to think not being a near cleric is the same as non observant.

When did I say it's 99% Muslim? That's obviously a meme IR statistic. There are lots of ex-Muslims. The evidence suggests that most Iranians are non-practicing Muslims like Turks, with considerable minorities of religious Muslims and ex Muslims. While the 50k statistic is a meme (Iran International), People not regularly going to mosque is consistent with most Iranians being non-practicing Muslims. Most Turks don't regularly go to mosque either, and it would be silly to say most Turks are not Muslims.

𝐍𝐢𝐨𝐡 𝐁𝐞𝐫𝐠 🇮🇷 ✡︎@NiohBerg

Iranians are abandoning islam at a skyrocketing rate, as you would be able to easily witness had you ever actually been to Iran rather than autistically consuming Wikipedia which wrongfully puts the number at 99%. 50,000 mosques have closed, and this includes smaller towns and villages. It's not simply an urban development. Again, what the hell is a "tommy robinsonist"?

Interesting bit of South African naval history They on more than one occasion used to go right up and “harass” much larger American and Russian ships sailing past South Africa’s EEZ. The infamous 1980s incident with SAS Jan Smuts is quite something.

@Davidlit3 @chaiiiguevara Militarily no, but it was an open question if the state and the military would not do what ANA/Afghan Republic did or Syria in 2024.

David lit@Davidlit3·9h

@segmentata @chaiiiguevara By the time the insurgency actually kicked off, there was no danger.

English

David lit@Davidlit3·13h

What sort of analysis is this? The current Baloch insurgency is much more widespread than the 1970s. I am confused what you mean confided to southern districts? The 70s one was confined to the Kalat belt mostly. This one is much more socially and geographically wider.

Ibrahim Abdul-Rauf@LongshotIbrahim

There is a reason that in spite of military abuses, it has never broken out of its stronghold in a couple of southern Balochistan districts for 20+ years. Compare it to 1970s revolt which for all its flaws (tribalism, secessionism, etc) at least had a large support base.

@Davidlit3 @chaiiiguevara Which is why the seem to have switched to soft targets, like the train station and the road. Stuff like that loses them support. They can say "faujis on leave" and Baloch resources all they want, but killed civiliand and peoples losing jobs tend to turn on you

English

Segmentata@segmentata·9h

@Davidlit3 @chaiiiguevara Oh yes. Paradoxically, insurgencies do best when they don't fight all the time. Having full-time cadres provides targets that the State can **hit**. BLA doesn't have limitless cannon fodder like Afghanistan Taliban/TTP, and they take catastrophic casualties every time they fight

Segmentata@segmentata·9h

@Davidlit3 The second part is true, but today there is no place security forces can't operate while many places they do today.

English

David lit@Davidlit3·9h

@segmentata Many places are still off limits, they need to form came in strenght to operate in mannyy areas. "large parts being off limits" was more of function of state never exisiting in places in the first place. Assey post bugti area also had many places like that. State built stuff up

English

Segmentata@segmentata·9h

@chaiiiguevara @Davidlit3 The 1970s were more dangerous. It was just after the loss of EPak, which had superpower support. In the 1970's there was genuine question as to whether the country would survive, while there is no serious question today.

English

Chai Guevara@chaiiiguevara·9h

I think both sides of the argument here hold merit. In terms of # of fighters, the 70s insurgency was definitely “larger”. But it was not as geographically spread out as today’s insurgency, which makes an operation like the 70s much less straightforward of a solution. I would also view the situation today as more dangerous due to the ideological strength the movement has acquired in the last decade or so. I think it will only get worse over the next decade given continued inaction, lack of will, lack of strategy, lack of viable reconciliation, etc.

@JacobL1994_ No, but desert (and mountain) dwellers do the same. The first firing range in Sindh, they had to have helicopter watching since locals would try and collect sharpnel, induing while firing was going on.

@Davidlit3 You are mixing up urban terror campaign and hit and run with a full on inauegency. In 1970's large parts of the place were off limits to security services, they needed to bring in troops.drom elsewhwrw. It was closer to modern Swat and former FATA ops.

@moeedahmed 1. No it doesn't. There is significant exculpatory material 2. It is for state to prove not for an accused to disprove. 3. DNA samples weren't perserved as far as I remember.

All the evidence points to Captain Hammad committing rape. The collected DNA evidence can be preserved for centuries, meaning a match can still be made. If he has nothing to hide, why does he refuse to voluntarily provide his DNA? The victim also named Hammad as the lead suspect. Knowing Dr. Shazia was Punjabi rather than Baloch, Bugti deliberately used her case as an excuse to press the military and settle his ego dispute with Musharraf. Bugti was a prick, but that doesn't mean a rapist should go scot-free because he wears a uniform.

@IGN_ZackrRS @miqazi Its since some of our biggest industries don't export much or at all. We should encourage electrical, electronjcs, vehicles, motor parts, pharma to export more.

English

Hassan☪️🍁@IGN_ZackrRS·13h

@segmentata @miqazi Import heavy in comparison to exports. We import 2.2X more than what we export. You cannot grow yourself out of this vicious trade imbalance. For our population size we should be adding $5 billion in exports each year. But what do we get? Even less exports than 2022. Gained zero

Ibrahim Qazi@miqazi·1d

One Pakistani Rupee is equivalent to approximately 64 Indonesian Rupiah. Pakistan has a GDP of around $411 billion, while Indonesia’s economy is nearly four times larger at approximately $1.56 trillion, with a growth rate of about 5.6%. Pakistan’s population stands at roughly 260 million, compared to Indonesia’s 290 million. To approach Indonesia’s GDP scale, Pakistan would need to aggressively transition from a consumption-led, import-heavy economy toward one driven by value-added exports, industrial productivity, and human capital development. Achieving this would require sustained high growth rates alongside deep structural reforms to bridge the existing economic gap.
