@khwamkhwah There’s another obsession that I have figured out during this time…which is of downing a F-16…they REALLY REALLY REALLY want to down a Pakistani F-16

Pakistan Zindabad!

Now that the fog of war has cleared up and things have calmed down, I want make a few points:

1. The way PAF performed was truly, in every essence, magnificent! I am proud of my airmen, soldiers, and sailors who defended Pakistan absolutely and decisively.

[Umais Ahmed @umaisahmed]

We need to resolve Kashmir so that people in the region can have peace. We need to move on for the sake of our peoples. There is still too much poverty and hunger in South Asia to do self-destructive wars.

Dangerous are people who say and preach that they believe in a philosophy but don’t respect it in real life.

[Umais Ahmed @umaisahmed]

One of the lessons of the past couple of years is that there are no friends of the people of Pakistan in the world.

“Societies with a poor rule of law and institutions that exploit the population do not generate growth or change for the better”

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

This year’s laureates in the economic sciences have helped us understand differences in prosperity between nations.

Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson and James Robinson have demonstrated the importance of societal institutions for a country’s prosperity. Societies with a poor rule of law and institutions that exploit the population do not generate growth or change for the better. The laureates’ research helps us understand why.

How interesting

Funniest news of the day:

Argentina is paying #Huawei for 5G infrastructure with… beef and wine!

Lacking US dollar or yuan, Argentinian gov and/or corps have made Huawei one of the biggest importers of beef in #China!

Huawei has an e-commerce site (“Huawei Mall”), which resells that beef and wine wholesale and retail.

21st century… and we are back to barter system from thousands of years ago! 😆

Has anyone noticed how the quality of stuff in the markets has declined considerably? And I’m not talking about imported stuff…things like fruits and vegetables and nuts and plastics and shoes and clothing etc

[Ismail Khan @IKPeshawar]

Funnily enough. Pakistan tax the salaried class more and more because it can’t tax the untaxed. It charges high tariffs from those who pay their utility bills because it can’t recover dues from those who steal electricity. Better be a thief to survive! 😂😂😂

@AliAxhar3 They were and he was dangerous when he got going…but he wasn’t reliable. Towards the end of his career he was a much better bowler than a batsman

Shahid Afridi was good but not great…but there was a time when Pakistan cricket won much more than it lost…and at that time it could beat any team on any pitch
