Pathetic, 4 F-7s today. Could have easily been 4 FC-20s, or an Erieye like last time. Fantastic return on investment for enemies of Pakistan though.

And in 1990 the election was literally rigged against BB and in PMLN's favour. But these things never ever last, the 2018 system crumbled, so will this one. 5 years hence, it's totally possible to see IK back and Sharifs in jail again.

I know people have had long standing gripes with the army's role in politics. But wtf is this?

Good thing Indian Muslims are super docile, this way HIndu extremists can do these things and it doesn't result in any two-sided violence.

Yeah, sure. He'll get a few USD bn from Saudis and the GCC, allow us to evade devaluation and IMF conditions for a while, then bring in Ishaq Dar to mess everything up again ahead of the next bailout cycle. I'm sorry, but no politician, nor technocrat at the behest of the army, has proven...

It wouldn’t need to be anyone else’s job if you had made it yours.

Yes, exactly. Released for a single use and then back in. I find it surprising that the logic here isn't clear to quite a few people. Generally speaking, establishment pawns don't end up in jail, not for long, instead they occupy corridors of power.

Anti-establishment, it's why their leadership spend ages in jail on sedition charges.

Bootlickers with no hindsight or foresight.

No need to get overly worked up. IK’s case is being appealed in the courts, he’ll probably be released at some point, although he’s unlikely to be exonerated. Instead of telling me “everyone knows” xyz. Can you post some arguments here? In your view, what’s wrong with the current conclusion of...

Doesn’t matter all that much, jailing politicians never diminishes their popularity or their grip on their own parties. History shows this time and again.

As I said before, IK is currently a convict, Nawaz is an escaped convict, and Zardari is a former convict. Actually it's funny, every serving Pakistani PM since Musharraf's stooge (Shaukat Aziz) was removed in 2007, has been a criminal and at one time or another been in prison: Yusuf Raza...

Who decides who’s criminal and not? Every single party founder or leader of the three main political parties is either a current or past prisoner, including one who is a current fugitive fled abroad.

Must be a low intensity conflict. Maybe it’s time for another charter of democracy?

I'm amazed at the kind of conspiracies I've seen about this. From suggesting that the GHQ bombed its own citizens, to JUI bombing themselves.

Best PM ever. 💪

It's true that Pakistan has little respect for its own citizens, but it's rich coming from an ethno-religious/nationalist apartheid state.

Better for us to save up for our next IMF bailout. Being broke is not cheap you know.

I'm calling it PTI-Q, history repeats itself.

It's not that we couldn't, we wouldn't. TTP used Afghan soil and the best we can do is to get the IEA to say that they will "help facilitate negotiations between the TTP and Pakistan". Pakistan has never been in any position to launch a proper conflict against the Taliban due to the demographic...
