File under: Govt of Pakistan

#1 Post-Abbottabad, COAS GEN. KAYANI is repor refusing to cut any PAK Mil ties to the Militants, while on another note he is up for consideration in Lahore for the potential new Govt-Military position of "Supreme Commander" of the PAK Armed Forces.

Methinks a MILBLOG POSTER said it best - UNLIKE IRAN, WHICH IS AT PRESENT MILITARILY WEAK BUT "STRONG" AS A UNITED NATION, PAKISTAN AS A NUC POWER IS MIL STRONGER THAN IRAN, BUT "WEAK" AS PER NATIONAL UNITY, hence non-Nuclear Iran has a much better chance of surviving a major or total break in diplomatic relations, perhaps even War, agz the USA than sectarian Nuclear Pakistan.

The good news here for Pakistan is that HINDU INDIA may not be immune from similar forces ...

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > THINK TANK: CHINA SHOULD FOMENT BREAK-UP OF INDIA.

ARTIC = CPC, PLA-bigwigs in Beijing begin to tacitly accept premise by noted Chin strategist that India's various ethnic, demographic groups have no great single underlying basis for common national unity + integration other than HINDUISM, e.g. NEW DELHI'S QUIET DEFENSE + PROMOTION OF THE TRADITIONAL HINDU "CASTE" SYSTEM OF ELITISM WHICH REINFORCES THE STRATIFICATION = ANTI-INTEGRATION OF INDIAN SOCIETY, hence it is not necessary for China to mil defeat India in a major war as it can defeat India by catering + supporting NATURAL ETHNIC OR ETHNO-CULTURAL "NATIONALISM" AMONG INDIA'S MINORITY OR CULTURAL GROUPS.

IOW, INDIA'S GREATEST PROB IN ITS MILPOL COMPETITION, STRUGGLE AGZ CHINA IS INDIA ITSELF.

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > BIN LADEN'S DEATH LEAVES RUSSIA WID A STRATEGIC VOID, Pre-9-11 versus Post-9-11, now post-Osama, Russ anti-Terror + Geopol Policies espec vee Russia's delicate balancing act between China + India.
