“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.”

now THAT’S utter incompetence ... it takes power, lots of power, to restart a cold power plant ... then of course there’s the whole issue of a controlled reintroduction of the full load so breakers don’t keep tripping ... guess there’s a shortage of competent electrical engineers to operate their power plants ...

"A nuke war between Pakistan, India and China could wipe 2 billion+ out… Thanks AQ Khan…"

Rev 9-18: The Sixth Trumpet. 17: Now the horses and riders in my vision looked like this: The riders had breastplates the colors of fire, sapphire, and sulfur. The heads of the horses were like the heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceeded fire, smoke, and sulfur. 18: A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur that proceeded from their mouths. 19: For the power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; indeed, their tails were like snakes, having heads with which to inflict harm.…

I just remembered - I did one, in a particular (unnamed) year

First I called the radio station to announce “Senior Skip Day” for the high school (also unnamed).

We went to a shopping mall, among our journeys that day - there was a local news remote going on - I do believe I waved to the camera from 15-20 feet back.

So......mea culpa lol

They should be fine if they don’t use that racist “cisheteropatriarcle” math.

The difference is that the USA produces things. Pakistan, due to mismanagement, doesn’t

"Let Afghanistan and Pakistan fuse into one country and call it Afpakistan or Pakghanistan"

one of the root causes of instability in both countries is that the Pashtun/Pathan people are split nearly 50:50 in both countries and they dominate in Afghanistan, while the Punjabis dominate in Pakistan (Punjabis are also split 60:40 between Pakistan and India, but that's a different question, the split was religious, while there is no real difference between the Pashto speakers in both countries

The best outcome for stability of those countries is that they either form a federation like India (India is a federation of 28 nations - yes, nations each with 1000+ years of individual history, different languages and even scripts) or they balkanize.

The last time the population of the world was 500 million was in 1650

Here's a population distribution map from 150 years earlier -- the population was more or less the same

As you can see, India and China were the largest two population areas, but France and Germany and Italy were not too far behind

it's not a nation - they kept the provinces and separate "nations" of Punjabi (44%), Sindhi (25%), Baluchi (15%) and Pashto, etc. etc. and tried to create a unity based on Islam. But it didn't work

India, with even more diversity, instead focused on "unity in diversity"

The Pakistani leaders are probably going to stay on and keep robbing the country.

I cannot imagine a scenario where Pakistan does ANYTHING with India. They are nuclear powers with the intent on killing each other.

The Paks broke free of India and they won’t go back.

Thanks for that. It puts East Pakistan in an entirely new light for me

I can see Pakistan be absorbed by India as part of the bailout deal.
