Wounds of Caged Rebel: Wounded Rebellious Nature

A renewed version of geopolitics is gaining traction in the Middle East. The direct strikes by Israel and Iran’s retaliation targeting Tel Aviv mark a new and dangerous chapter. Its ripple effects across global energy, diplomacy, and security balances will be far-reaching.

Just as an individual cannot achieve fulfilment in isolation from the nation to which one belongs, a state too has to seek its destiny in cooperation with world community.

In the 1970s, North Korea ordered 1,000 Volvo cars from Sweden, as a response to its emerging economy. The cars were shipped and delivered but North Korea just didn't bother paying and ignored the invoice. To this day, the bill remains unpaid, making it the largest car theft in history.

Pakistan's READYMENT GARMENTS' exports were $3.9bn in 2021-22. During the same period, Bangladesh exported garments worth $42.6 billion. We need to look at the long-term performance of the textile industry, and the benefits given to APTMA; and determine the reasons for such abysmal performance.

Any meaningful discussion in any APC on rise in militancy must:
1. Identify faulty state policies contributing to it
2. Decide on reversing flawed policies, and
3. Put in place an oversight mechanism that closes the doors for running with the hare & hunting with the hound

@MadihaAfzal Patron-client relationship and the lust for power is the driving factor in such state of affairs.

The art of possible is dragging to somewhere nowhere. Pragmatism has lost its foundations.

@UDaud123 Yes, Taiwan is also associated with world economies in different sectors. So hampering the interests of countires by islolating Taiwan wont be a good option.

[Umra Khan @UmraKhan4862]

Can Taiwan be the next Ukraine? Pertaining to geo-political, geo-economic and geo-strategic importance of Taiwan for China.

[Umra Khan @UmraKhan4862]

@UDaud123 While this historical claim makes it more vulnerbale, as china focuses “one china policy”. Power maximization or capabilities of deterrence might offend china.

[Umra Khan @UmraKhan4862]

@wispxjuni Well analyzed. But the argument of “decade of uncertainity” makes it more debatebale.
