@Mohsin77 Thoughts?
Long term future prospects for the USA seem to be heading towards mad max while in China, they are trending towards a future that the west can only dream of, only that it’s not the American dream but it going to be the destiny of Chinas revival made real
The Collective West complained, demand, threat, bluff and persuasion is being ignore, the lost of prestige and respect is becoming a norm for them. And the likelihood of others will follow as the precedent is being set in stone. We are seeing the dawn of the Multi Polar World and A Beautiful Sight to Behold...lol
Reports are that PTI supporters surrounded IK's house, and then the police denied they were deployed to arrest him (in other words, the police got scared lolz.) Who knows, maybe they'll try again. They'll probably be another dumb trial and some silly verdict.
More importantly, streets were blocked the moment people thought he was about to be arrested. PTI also announced they'll shut down cities if IK is arrested. That's the first sign I've seen of an actual civil disobedience campaign, which IK is too soft to declare himself. And that's kinda been my only problem with him this whole time...
Rant on:
Contrary to the opinion of many people in Pakistan, IK is not a "radical." All he's asking from the bureaucracy/judiciary/army/politicians is that they should 'do their frekkin job.' Apparently, the status quo in Pakistan can't even tolerate that. "How dare someone tell us to do our jobs! Off with his head!" Also, IK is technically neither a "reformist" nor a "revolutionary." In order to qualify for those titles, you have to demand a paradigm shift, a complete change in thought and the status quo. E.g. People like Iqbal or Jinnah were reformists, and our prophets were revolutionaries i.e. they directly challenged the economic/governmental/theological foundations. But that isn't what IK is doing (he should, but he isn't.) His entire manifesto is very modestly defined by the laws and paradigms which already exist. He hasn't demanded any actual reformation. All he's asking for is their actual implementation. That's why he's yelling about things like "rule of law". That's not radical. It's like people yelling "black lives matter!" (lolz, duh!) That's not a demand. That's not even a call to action. You might as well be yelling "water is wet!" Only in countries as messed up as Pakistan is asking for "rule of law" considered 'radical' or 'revolutionary'.... sigh........ baby steps, I guess.
Rant off.
Bro can the junior officer led a coup against the gov't and Senior officer? There seem to be a Deep state apparatus inside the Army higher echelon, thinking more of cozy job and financial incentive after retirement rather than urgent reform that is needed. So corruption had been institutionalized?
