PAKISTAN is facing ECONOMIC MELTDOWN as the country runs out of Cash and Energy & Food Costs continue to Escalate. In an attempt to save Energy Electricity Power Stations were SWITCHED OFF overnight however they could not be re-started which resulted in a NATIONWIDE BLACKOUT. This Blackout left Hospitals, Schools & Pakistan's Industry without power for over 12 hours and the estimated loss is more than $100 Million. Pakistan has over $275 BILLION of DEBT and requires over $30 BILLION to service its debt and purchase FUEL & FOOD over the next 6 months. An urgent BAILOUT is needed and Pakistan is in discussions with the IMF about a Bailout Loan however the IMF want Pakistan to agree to Terms that they do not like. What is Pakistan going to do?

This will be a lot of fun to watch. India and Pakistan are sworn enemies and either one could start a war with each other.

The Afghan War, and the money they managed to extort or embezzle from us, was what kept Pakistan going.

War is often the result, IMHO, when bankrupt nations face such issues.

Meanwhile in Germany in the early 1900’s.......

For the past several decades India has been training doctors, engineers, computer scientists, while Pakistan has been training the Koran in madrassas.

Which is doing better, which will do better?

India isn’t a poor country, so I think they’d win in a war with Pakistan similarly to South Korea winning its war with North Korea.

It might not be an easy win, with the nukes. However, that’s how I think it would go. Pakistanians are a weakened people because of the corruption of their country, so I don’t think they’d put up much of a fight.

That's likely what Indians are afraid of.

Quick! More wind panels and solar mills. That’ll fix it right up. When you absolutely, positively want to lower the world population to ~ 500 million.....................

Spent a lot of time in Pakistan, especially with their elite military…..
Most are Western educated.
Although loyal to their country, I expect a lot will flee west with their families….
This will leave the lower educated, Madrass educated officers in charge of a military that has nuclear weapons….
If I was in India, I’d be worried…..A unstable Pakistan run by true Zealots is truly dangerous…

“Pakistan has over $275 BILLION of DEBT”

That’s all? That’s nothing.
