its difficult to get rid of corruption in Pakistan as PMLN, PPP and our Army generals are all to some extent involved in corrupt practices

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

This former uae presidential aide is right about the poverty, illiteracy, instability, poor economic and political performance by Pakistan. There is NO doubt about that. Had he left it at that then no-one would be able to argue with him. However, he has shot himself in the foot and made uae look weak, dumb and impotent when he mentioned Pakistan's nuclear weapons.................................................Firstly, the 170 nuclear bombs he mentioned that Pakistan has is the figure based on 2017/2018 estimates. NOBODY actually knows the TRUE number of nuclear weapons Pakistan has RIGHT NOW. Some estimates have gone even as far as to say Pakistan may have around 300 nuclear warheads as of 2026. Despite Pakistan's poverty, illiteracy and other problems, Pakistan has emerged as a significant nuclear weapons state, something that the uae HAS NOT and CAN NEVER be able to do THEMSELVES despite all the wealth, economic success and high literacy rate they have. The emiratis will NEVER be able to develop nuclear weapons themselves as they DO NOT have it in them to do so. The ONLY way the emiratis can HAVE nuclear weapons is if america, russia, israel or China develop it for them. The emiratis could NEVER do it themselves.

PS What these emiratis don't realize is that IF Pakistan didn't have nuclear weapons then the situation of Pakistani people will be worst than that of the Palestinians in Gaza so NO AMOUNT of poverty, illiteracy, poor economic and political performance is going to stop Pakistan from having and continuing to develop and advance our nuclear weapons program.

The UAE knows Pak's potential too well. Hence, they actively finance and support terrorism inside Pakistan. They are the grandkids of Abu Lahab...
