Heinlein fought the Nazis and the movie adds in imagery which wasn’t in the source book. A book the director didn’t read. Therefore it can’t even work as a satire of the adaptation by default.

Why would a Pakistani want to larp as an Arab, Persian, Chinese, or an Indian? If you're going to larp as something ask yourself what language this tweet is in.
Pakistanis could look at their neighborhood and realize that islamism, ethnic nationalism, and fascism all lead to disaster. The current state of Iran and Afghanistan, your own sorry past, there's enough there.When will they learn?

Yeah I don't want to waste money just to find out I'm Punjabi Pathan like ooh big surprise. You can take the DNA results and see if you're at risk of diseases though which is handy. And I think you can plug it into more detailed systems but I don't know much more.
Punjabis and Pathans are unique in that both groups are found in virtually every corner of Pakistan and dominate the political and military establishments. Punjab without the rest of Pakistan is a rump state that'll resemble Poland at best. Pakthunistan will be even worse than 🇦🇫
Reddit atheism directly lead to the “wokeism” he hates. You can’t bring back the Faith you’ve systematically dismantled just bc you’re scared of brown people now. It’s pathetic. If they were “rational” they would have realized the function religion has in society.
This is quite something: Richard Dawkins, undoubtedly the world's leading atheist, the author of The God Delusion, comes out as "cultural Christian" and calls for the UK to promote Christianity as opposed to Islam, which he calls "not a decent religion".
Afghanistan has had roughly 30 different flags, virtually every form of government from monarchy to communism, has received trillions of dollars in aid, and it has nothing to show for it.
You can't expect much action on the Western fronts when you have a Pro Taliban PM who is compromised to Iran. What room does that leave for action against BLA-TTP? We missed a critical window to go on the offensive with the US pull out. Hopefully we can regain some ground.
You could have honestly had-
Buffer zone
Defense agreement with Uzbekistan
Refugee repatriation
Leverage over a weakened Taliban
Flushing out of TTP
USAF base
& More if you didn't waste your golden opportunities for pan Islamic fantasies
I feel sorry for mankind to have an individual like him to disrespect martyr Qassem Soleimani like that. A man who prevented ISIS coming to your doorsteps, a man who sacrificed his life for others. Fear God brother because you’ll have to answer one day for your words.
Fwiw, former British diplomat Tim Wallasey-Wilsey says that the one year of Taliban rule has been a “disaster for Pakistan” and Bajwa had “nursed anxieties about a Taliban takeover, but he was opposed by his intelligence chief Faiz Hamid.”
The establishment is bad because it wants balanced ties with the US, China, and the Gulf. Let me toss my hat in with an unhinged populist who leans towards Iran and Afghanistan, and whose only endorsements come from terrorists. Makes perfect sense. 🧠
Afghanistan has arguably had more flag changes than any other nation state in the 20th century. It's never been particularly stable with constant regime changes. With another bout of civil war soon, it'll be interesting to see what banners they'll fly next.

Even in the lore it makes no sense to be mad. The Gith themselves were formerly enslaved before becoming an empire, the Drow also took slaves, countless vampires and undead have liches and thralls. Serfs are universal. It just doesn't make sense.
At this point the military should just focus on keeping the institution intact so it doesn't end up broken like Turkey, Iran, etc. Let civilian leadership get what they want. The Awam will start begging for intervention sooner or later.
So far China 🇨🇳, Russia 🇷🇺, Turkey 🇹🇷 & Iran 🇮🇷 have spoken clearly in the favour of Government of Islamic Republic of Pakistan & have supported Government's stance that US is responsible for 'regime change' in Pakistan.
The 'Block Geo-Politics' at work.
Any progressive/advancing country in the Muslim world is a threat to the world view of certain brands of Islamists. Their success exposes them and they’ll often cheer for more impoverished but ideological aligned states instead.
What most people don’t realize is that only the Pakistani Punjabi elite, in and out of the army, stand against a Taliban take-over of Pakistan, through sheer ideological subversion. In a few years, even the army lower ranks will not fight the Taliban.
Pk is on the brink.
The more I think about it the more I hate that expected reward for clearing a dungeon in DnD is gold, gems, and valuable art. You are effectively looting the lost artifacts and cultural items from a long dead kingdom that peoples likely survive to this day.
All those who think it’s ‘free speech’ to create parody accounts of critical voices, do you also speak up about the censorship of the media in Pakistan? Are you concerned that Ali Wazir is still in jail for exercising his free speech & was not allowed on the media before?
This is proof India is a first world nation. Going forward, it should not be treated as a developing country in trade deals and should receive no humanitarian aid, by the West
What westerners think India is like vs. what it's actually like.
Contrast the Ascending vs. the Descending world – LA and random cities of India quietly switching places as the Westerner maintains his perpetual denial.

Normally Iran bombs Sunnis whenever it gets slapped by Israel but it looks like the Sunnis beat them to a punch and Israel might escalate lmfao this is too good
Why can't pakis make their own rifles? PAF is constantly modifying the JF-17 and even sold it to Nigeria. Whats the Fauj doing? There's a weird cultural difference between the two. Sanctions might actually be good for Pak maybe they'll actually get their shit together
Pakistan Army is the most transparent and honourable national institution. Its main aim is to always prioritise the civilians and their wishes. It’s devoid of corruption, bribery and nepotism, and everyone should be proud of this infallible organisation. Pak Army Zindabaad!
Gloves off, there's no point giving Taliban a pass for attacking Pakistan. You wouldn't give India the benefit of the doubt. Retaliation is long overdue.
My nana was a pro-Congress newspaper editor in Lucknow. He was staunchly opposed to the creation of Pakistan even as he watched most of his 11 kids migrate here. He only visited Pakistan once in 1975 when he met with a fall from which he didn’t recover. He is buried in Karachi.
So true! I saw with my own eyes these broad shouldered, 6'2 Punjabis sneak across the border in the dead of night when the Afghanistani guards were out smoking. They lifted these trees straight out of the ground, smuggled them across, and replanted them all!!
@EckhartsLadder
He’s making fun of American society and tosses some Nazi imagery and references to drive the point home to the audience but it’s not a critique of Fascism itself but militarism at large. The society that is shown is highly egalitarian but warlike.

Some major corporations have proprietary intelligence divisions that use OSINT to monitor their assets etc. Every major intelligence agency would have the same in multiple languages. They gauge opinions. See what gets leaked etc.
Pakistan needs partners to handle what's coming wrt Afghanistan. Uzbekistan and the US are a must but Turkey, the Gulf, UK, there are other countries willing to help. Stop listening to pakjeets who try to white wash taliban violence and think you can ask them nicely to behave.
The Bajwa placed a safe bet instead of larping as an anti imperialist shit hole. Russia will never prioritize Pak over India just look at their arm sales.
Pro-Kremlin Telegram channel now reporting delivery of artillery shells via RAF to Ukraine. Nice infographic showing exactly who is behind this change of policy.
@Davidlit3
Turks also set up a buffer zone and didn't need some grand narrative to bomb separatists or jihadists because their own people were too cucked to realize what their national interests were.
Afghanistan cannot be stabilized and serve as a bridge for connectivity without a multilateral initiative. Pakistan will need a partner in Central Asia (Uzbekistan) and be a platform for US interests.
@MCIAZayyan
You’re due an apology from the entire nation. If only they had listened to you, then they wouldn’t find themselves in such a desperate situation. It’s time they realized what their interests are and who has their best interests at heart.
Herat is calling. Tonight Herat is chanting loud & clear "All Akbar". God is great. God isn't a toy in the hands of the Talib terrorists. Herat is roaring. God isn't a Pakistani product. Tonight Heratis are either in the street or out on the rooftops showing support to ANDSF.
