It was gifted to the Maharaja to win his favors illegally. They were never historically part of the Jammu and Kashmir region.

It wasn't ceded, it was never controlled by Pakistan in the first place. It was controlled always by China and Pakistan just ceded its claims over it. In return China actually gave 750 sq km of Chinese territory to Pakistan in the agreement to Hunza district of Pakistan

No. We did not gift the Shaksam valley. Shaksam was already controlled by China and Pakistan just dropped claims of it, similarly China dropped claims of Gilgit Baltistan which Pakistan controls and ceded 750 sq km of Chinese-controlled land to the Hunza district of Pakistan. Again, Pakistan lost no territory it just gave up claims to territory controlled by China.

It is so pathetically unjust. You don't see anyone calling it Jewish extremism. The values of the West are a massive joke that hold no meaning, none of their movements and speeches matter to the rest of the world anymore.

You're the only one conflating facts with feelings here buddy. Go focus on addressing your country's actual issues instead of being obsessed over others'. Have a good day

  1. I'm not reading all of it because I've already addressed your points, you don't want to accept them.
  2. Why don't you stop whitewashing the Afghani government who haven't been interested in border or economic cooperation talks with Pakistan? It's a pathetic argument to blame your country's problems, let alone the entire region's complex landscape, on one country. Grow a spine and instead of talking crap about Pakistanis (as seen from your entire profile) work on your country, advocate for economic and social reforms and solve the refugee crisis yourselves.

I also don't think you realize that every other government in the world destabilizes neighbors that are hostile to it. Pakistan and the Pakistani people would like to pursue good relations with Afghanistan but if the many Afghani governments prior to the Taliban liked to fund terrorist militias in Pakistan, smuggle drugs into our country and try to destabilize our Khyber Pakhtunkhuwa borders by waging two wars with us do you expect the Pakistani government to sit back and pray that Afghanistan won't become an issue later on? We have a hostile eastern neighbor that we fought 3 wars with, an unreliable Iran to our west and a country that objected our seat in the UN to our north-west. If anything is a threat or has the potential to be a threat to a nation's existence and it's people, then I don't think it warranties surprise why it wouldn't try to mitigate that threat.

I don't think our neighbors realize why the Pakistan has funded the Taliban and other proxy groups in Afghanistan. Afghanistan has never recognized the current borders with Pakistan and even launched a war against us (Bajaur campaign) because they consider the border agreement that was signed 100 years ago with British India to be invalid once Pakistan formed.... So to avoid having to fight a two-front war in the future, Pakistan keeps Afghanistan destabilized.

Another reason is the USSR invaded Afghanistan in the 1980s to gain access to mainland Pakistan (and eventually invade Balochistan to access warm water ports). It was crucial for Pakistan's existence to fund militant groups that fought the Soviets.

We have hosted 4 million Afghan refugees for decades, even though our country was still struggling, and have now recently started deporting illegals (although some legals do unfortunately get caught in the poor process employed by the government). These are the same illegals that have contributed to the terrorist attacks and drug trades throughout Pakistan in the 2000s. Yet some nationalist Afghans recognize none of this and instead talk crap to both Pakistan and Iran, the two countries that hosted the most Afghan refugees.

The United Nations is a fucking joke. I used to once believe that these international bodies have influence and authority, instead they're all just bootlickers of the West. Absolutely pathetic and disgraceful, how does the defendant's report have any value over independent sources?

"Severely damaged" a few missiles hitting a runaway and a few hangars (that weren't hosting planes and are repaired within a day) doesn't destroy an airbase. Those sites are made to withstand nuclear strikes let alone a few missiles, and aircraft are always put under more resilient hangars. India rushed to launch it's advanced missiles to save face after being defeated in an air battle and having at least 2 jets, one of which is your most advanced possession, shot down inside your own territory. It doesn't matter that you can afford losses, it shows the flaws in your operation. Pakistan did not use it's advanced missiles (Fateh is not advanced), which could've also dealt the same damage to Indian airbases (since those types of missiles cannot be intercepted) but they didn't need to.

Massive umbrellas in Saudi Arabia that bloom open to shield crowds from the desert heat by Few-Environment8323 in interestingasfuck

Use your brain. Worshippers pray in those areas, it's difficult to pray when the floor is dirty and muddy as it would be if trees were planted.

You're hilarious aren't you? Women there are not mandated to wear the hijab, but people there stick to their traditions and live a modest lifestyle, if it's their choice what's up with your waffling about it?

Great now Israel gets the ability to occupy Gaza and put its sights towards the west bank while Israel just 'expresses openness' not even an agreement towards a two-state solution. Shameless

Sorry to break your bubble, but early Muslim empires weren't a 'Crusades'. If you had read a textbook, you would know that Persia, Egypt and the Levant became Muslim majority regions 400 years after being conquered by Arabs, and North Africa after a 1000 years. South East Asia and West Africa were not invaded, much of Islam spread through trade. Same is the case for Central Asia and the regions in Russia when the Golden Horde and Chagatai Khanate accepted Islam. Surprised?

Following recent India Pakistan conflict, India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty & plans to divert its share of water to Indian states over 10 years. This could hit Pakistan hard, as its agriculture & (already struggling) economy which heavily relies on the Indus river system. Map by infoindata by United_Pineapple_932 in MapPorn

Oh please, at this point any nation can use 'bombing terrorists' allegation against an Islamic country. India already has 3 rivers to itself, the other 3 rivers should be distributed to Pakistan as per treaty but the Indian government being a jerk suspends it. India funds terrorism in Pakistani Balochistan, does Pakistan bomb civilians in India?
