Islamabad Talks - News & Discussions

[PakAl]

It's not about being rich... that is subjective and open to interpretation... disruptive is the operative word they'd use. They'll burn or keep burning the prospects of others... They'll want impunity over the system instead of fair play. They'd want monopoly powers... primarily over violence. Especially over those who dither... they smell fear and beat the meek to generate the optics... for others to keep their heads down.

It is what epstein actually did... the blackmail was a byproducts of introduction and crash course in depravity... killing balance in thought and moral/mental qualms.... pushing the limits of breaking people... seeing past them... through them...

This is their real policy, divide and rule, they will sabotage nation growth, will on purpose destroy independent nations, will fund opposition for a coup or rebellion if the state is strong. They plan 50 to 100 years ahead. Those nations who submit to them have good economy, militaries but not enough to challenge the western masters, in another words they sell them expensive toys.

We would love to see them try the first one.

What will Iran to in return, will Iran have enough missiles to strike Israel for just say another month or 3 months, what if Usa Israel behind the scenes make nuclear threat, how will Iran respond to this without being a nuclear power themselves.

What will Iran to in return, will Iran have enough missiles to strike Israel for just say another month or 3 months, what if Usa Israel behind the scenes make nuclear threat, how will Iran respond to this without being a nuclear power themselves.

First of all, there is no indication that Iran has enough missiles for 3 months. I claim Iran has more missiles for 30 years. How do you want to disprove it? Do you have access to confidential information that I don't?

You don't get it. This feud between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States will never be settled through negotiations. Any negotiation will be to weaken Iran for future attacks. Either the Islamic Republic has to hand over the entire system to someone like Reza Pahlavi or MEK, or if they want to stay in power, they have to resist. Period.

"Vice President JD Vance and the US delegation will land in Pakistan within hours, President Trump just told me — adding that he was willing to meet with senior Iranian leaders if a breakthrough is reached."

DUBAI, April 20 (Reuters) - Iran is considering attending peace talks with the United States in Pakistan, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Monday, following moves by Islamabad to end a U.S. blockade of Iran's ports, a major hurdle for Iran to rejoin peace efforts.
However, the official stressed that no decision had been made.

With a two-week ceasefire set to expire, a senior ‌Iranian official said Tehran was "positively reviewing" its participation but no final decision had been made. The comments conveyed a clear change of tone from earlier statements ruling out attendance and pledging to retaliate for U.S. aggression.

No one single group or collective other than the sharks in the west, zionist or not, thinks or behaves like that throughout the world. Singularly targeting the hives of others... they raid the work of others... destroy the hive, kill the queen and move on to the next hive. This is what colonialism taught them... their parasitic lifestyles depend on it... they ride many shoulders to maintain it... the jetsetters, with acres of manicured gardens would not be able to feed themselves should they try... they know of no trade except to manipulate those under and around them and extract every penny. They want people to die....live under burden of debt to extract the excess generated by their work, day in and day out... putting overtime or doing two or more jobs... these are the people who feed these sharks.
They're the ones who want these wars... control resources, keep them disillusioned, away from the prize, always returning to build the new hive! Take on more debt... extract more wealth and resources for them...

No one dares look at the pattern and respond in kind... for they're seen as war like... outlaws. For only they're above law... wielding impunity.

Israelis are the long term thinkers but you give too much credit to those who work hard to make the JCPOA and then in just a few years undo all that work by unilaterally cancelling the JCPOA.
I believe the American geopolitics is increasingly falling to the influences of hubris, foreign lobbies, adhocism and general intellectual laziness starting 1991. The Fall of the Soviet Union and then 'The End of History' with that have brought a mighty power with greatest military and human resources to negotiate with a middling power under sanctions for 4 decades and that too by asking--nah--begging Pakistan to help with the mediation.
Don't just stop at Trump: Look at the clowns around him with few exceptions like Rubio. And look at that senile Biden administration. This is what 'the best democracy in the world' yields!

With a two-week ceasefire set to expire, a senior ‌Iranian official said Tehran was "positively reviewing" its participation but no final decision had been made. The comments conveyed a clear change of tone from earlier statements ruling out attendance and pledging to retaliate for U.S. aggression.

The Iranian official said mediator Pakistan was making positive efforts to end the U.S. blockade and ensure Iran's participation.
The ceasefire had appeared in jeopardy after the U.S. said it had seized an Iranian cargo ship that tried to run its blockade and Tehran vowed to retaliate.

Dear disgruntled old man , what the west / America are doing Is certainly against the morals that we uphold when we are at the weaker wicket... however it's not against the laws of nature and the laws of nature overrule all other laws ...so grin and Bear , don't fret.

That is a useful tool, however it doesn't seem to work with fresh articles, only articles which are a few days old. It also doesn't work with some publications like WSJ.

She is only reliable journo out there in Islamabad. Ignore all local journos.

Plus, Trump asked her to stay back in Pakistan - as he said that's where all the action is/will be.

She may not like the assignment of being in Pakistan, but, this could potentially alter the course of her career - straight up.

these are Schrodinger's talks, they are happening and not happening until something is signed.

Who said I'm disgruntled?
If you read what I wrote and extracted the obvious then it served the purpose. It isn't me but the up and coming that are lost in utopian idealism... hunky dory... dreamy and in the run to win the race... forgetting the game is rigged.
Law is established and peace enforced on terms set. Which is where anything against the core seems odd to those who assumed their prospects are getting hit by someone not towing the line. In fact that is the only path forward.
