For some unknown reason, I was banned from posting on this thread from last night until just now. Now that it's been resolved, I can post again.
I seem to have sensed something. My comments last night sparked some controversy. I tried to explain them, but a mysterious force silenced me......
But that's not important now. Let's keep our respective perspectives and move on. Therefore, I won't respond to everyone individually.
I'm usually very direct in my approach. I don't like to mince words. Occasionally, I'll use teasing, joking, or sarcasm to express my opinion on certain matters. But I don't like to insult others. Of course, if any of my jokes are considered insulting, my Pakistani friends can remind me. This is not what I really mean.
===================================================
But, about
@RajaBaja, I must strongly protest. Your unwarranted slander against me is unacceptable.
On the topic of "Second Meals and Rolls-Royces", here is a link to the original speech.
I might be proven wrong, but I don't see any viable reason(s) for Pakistan to get J-10C's ToT. There is no indication of PAF planning on acquiring 90-100+ aircraft &/or CAC production line being busy to the point where it cannot guarantee delivery of these numbers in time, both of which would make sense for getting the ToT. Otherwise it might turn out to be the same dead rubber as Agosta-90B ToT from France. It was speculated that PAF would induct 36 J-10C but the plan seems to be have been slowed down, if not put on hold completely. This may have something to do with J-35 (or not)...
First, you proactively invited me to comment on this issue. I expressed my honest opinion. I don't want to comment on such a boring topic. But you keep pestering me. ------ Considering other threads and related posts, this isn't the first time you've raised this issue with me. You've repeatedly invited me to comment on this in multiple threads.
Second, this metaphorical statement was directed at your delusional thinking. It wasn't insulting in any way.
But, here you are spouting “I am insulting Pakistanis for not being able to afford a second meal”. You claim that I am anti-Pakistan. This statement is only directed at your personal opinion. If you insist on thinking it is insulting, then it is only directed at this opinion, not at you personally, let alone at Pakistan as a whole.
In fact, you actively spread all kinds of unrealistic fantasies in this forum. Even many Pakistani friends do not agree with your fantasy thinking.
Pakistan still has a large population of poor people and a large number of Pakistanis who have never received an education.
Even in many Pakistani cities, there is still a serious lack of basic living facilities (housing, water, electricity, gas, food, transportation, etc).
Pakistan still has a large international debt.
Pakistan still faces serious security problems.
Pakistan still has fierce internal political struggles.
...... Pakistanis know this better than I do. I don't want to mention these issues.
But, in this situation, you continue to promote your fantasy thinking. When even the simplest airframe manufacturing work of the 4th-Gen fighter JF-17B3 has not been fully completed, you are advocating that Pakistan should start producing the 5th-Gen fighter. You even want Pakistan to produce manned advanced fighter jets based on China's latest unmanned air combat aircraft.
When a reasonable person refutes your view, you think he is anti-Pakistan. What kind of bull$hit logic is that?
