Trump Announces Major Pakistan Trade Deal, Vows Joint Oil Development/Exploration

[mythbuster]

Wow, this is new, Pakistanis now accusing Indian politicians and bureaucrats of being competent and playing 4D chess on the global stage. Honestly, never thought I’d see the day.

That seat on the chess table is being taken away from you....it was found you are not worthy of the seat .

Seat taken? Nah, we just switched from classical to blitz

I hope you are right and I will be happy to be proven wrong.

My theory #3 is that USA wants to pressure India to choose either US or Russia.

Theory #4 is as you mentioned that maybe they have found oil reserves somewhere but did not make it public. The COAS may have discussed it in the meeting with trump and we may hear about it at a later date. But it is the least likely scenario among the all

Your theory # 4 that you call the least likely is the most likely one .

It is either QUAD or BRICS. It is either the West or Global South. You cannot fool anyone. There is no in between. Donald Trump demands full loyalty from India. You cannot get away with duplicity anymore. The policy of reaping benefits from all sides is over. Did you really think that India was going to fool Trump with current policy? The Americans provide preferential treatment to Hindustan because they expect full cooperation. Do you know why Indians are CEOs of American multinational companies? That didn't happen because the Americans love Indians.

What did I used to tell you Indians? A time will come when the Americans are going to demand full support. That time has come buddy. Now obey Trump's orders and stop pretending that you are sovereign or have any say in the matter. You really don't.

Indians are in state of shock. These tariff rates make even less sense then ones announced by Trump in April. USA have huge trade deficit with Vietnam and yet they are down to 20% from originally 55%.

Tariff on India and trolling by Trump is form of punishment. And its not just Trump but whole MAGA base. Indians are so used to caste slavery that they don't realize what Trump have done to them. Trump is treating Modi like a Dalit.

Naa.... you don't have the chutzpah for the blitz ..... there ain't no Guderrian in your DNA.

Let’s see who’s still on the board when the dust settles.

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

Personally, I feel Trump is getting frustrated. Indians are playing smart.

When a CEO gets frustrated over his top executive he/she usually gets fired....

I’m not sure anyone’s more obsessed about Indians than you. No matter what the topic is… take this thread, for example, it’s about the USA and Pakistan and yet somehow you’re bringing up Indians, who likely have no idea you’re even talking about them.

 

[HAIDER]

Indian US trade deficit is 45.7 billion dollars
Pak US trade deficit is less then 5 billion dollars

Now US those days looking India through economic telescope . I don't know where Pak fits in this economic war.

Opportunism. India sold the US a dream of defeating China by proxy.

 

[FarhanSiddiqui]

Trump is trolling India and especially the genocidal maniac Modi. I hope Pakistan has oil fields but it seems to be all Trump's imagination. Trump does not want BRICKS to create new world reserve currency and alternative to SWIFT banking system. India is the weakest link in BRICKS so Trump is using all the tricks to force India to leave BRICKS.

Why will we fight China beyond our little border issues?

 

[arjunk]

However, this should not come at the cost of the environment. I would suggest strengthening environmental protection laws, monitoring and enforcement before any deal is made.

It's not like the feudal elite have any choice otherwise. All their agricultural lands are at risk of annihilation by climate change and Indian water threats.

Because that's the only thing you're useful for in the eyes of the western world.

How's that our concern
