My last post hit a nerve with some users. The same old excuses: our borders are too long, no country can stop insurgents completely, airstrikes in Afghanistan are the only option, and civilian casualties are just collateral damage. Debatable but let's just say, theek hai bro sab maan lia.

My post was not against taking action against terrorists in Afghanistan. It was about timing and accountability.

The timing of these recent cross-border strikes is a massive red flag. It only shows that the military cares just about optics and PR than actually protecting citizens. Terrorists attack and kill people. The Army does air strikes and says we have killed the mastermind so we have avenged. No proofs shared. The news cycle moves on. Rinse and repeat.

Think about the timing here. If our intelligence agencies know exactly where these safe havens are in Afghanistan, why the hell are they waiting around? Why do they wait for a massive tragedy to happen, for innocent Pakistani soldiers and civilians to die before they suddenly decide to launch a "retaliatory" strike? It's not like Afghanistan can retaliate militarily.

It is all performative. Terrorism is increasing in our country year by year because of either the incompetence of the Pakistan Army or their willingness to not care about Pakistani lives, your pick.

You should undnerstand that every single terrorist attack is an intelligence failure. We have been conditioned to accept terrorism to the point where people actually defend these massive lapses in security. No one expects a 100% airtight border. What we do expect is a coherent, consistent national security policy that shows results, not terrorism rising year after year, especially when you have taken over everything from politics to economy to defense. We have literal no-go areas increasingly emerging inside our own country right now, forget about what’s happening beyond the borders.

Stop falling for the distraction. It isn't "for the fun of it" to demand that the highest-funded institution in the country is accountable.

A terrorist group crossed from Afghanistan through different provinces of Pakistan all the way into a densely populated district of Karachi. On top of that, all this amid the "heightened security" in the city for Muharram. Rather than addressing their own operational failures, they have got a new resort to distract people by launching air strikes in Afghanistan. It is very similar to the maniac on the other border who does the same in Pakistan whenever they fail to contain a terrorist attack. The only difference is Afghanistan barely has anything to respond with so our side can keep doing it. There is no accountability, no journalist or politician can question them for their failures because all of them are puppets. There is not even a token acknowledgement of failure.

If the brass does the bare minimum of the job they actually signed up for, they expect to be serenaded by everyone. But the second they fail, they want absolutely zero accountability. Heads they win, tails we lose.

Since mods like to censor discussions by applying rules subjectively, I'll make my previous comment into a post: https://www.reddit.com/r/pakistan/comments/1uilm3h/removed_by_moderator/

I booked a return ticket with Qatar Airlines. The flight originates from EU. They cancelled my outbound journey because of internal scheduling reasons and won't offer any alternate flight. The chat support says the only solution is to get a refund and I would have to cancel the entire itinerary, even though the inbound journey is still available and convenient for me.

Since the flight is from EU (and I am an EU resident too), I understand that they should be offering me rerouting too, even if it comes with a different airline. However, since I have never used this option I want to confirm if I am eligible because otherwise after refund and buying a new ticket with a different airline (Turkish), the ticket price is almost 300 euros more which sucks.

Last time Robinhood ran this offer back in January / February, I managed to help 8 people from Reddit get their bonuses. I will be able to share screenshots too if you require.
