I reiterate what I have mentioned a ton of times - Political parties in #Pakistan are essentially a junior partner in any government. They are the face of the whole operation. But the brains are always... the military which is the senior partner. Independents are Military's ppl

Central Asia Editor @eurasianet, @Peter__Leonard laments "If the outside world looks away,the darkness will be even more complete" eurasianet.org/perspectives-t… As dictatorial drift consumes Central Asia (incl Afghanistan & Pakistan).. "ignoring Central Asia could come at a cost"
Pakistan’s Competitive Authoritarian System is bogged down by a dominant elite consensus on short-termism based incentive structures which reenforce economic rigidity & cyclical collapses. Well worth a listen to @MinhasNajma & @ajpirzada youtube.com/watch?v=j79UGK…
I will be at the @isanet ISA conference in San Francisco next week! If anyone else is going and wants to hang out/meet, hit me up! I'll be at panels on global production/IPE, global IR, #China and #CentralAsia. #ISA2024

I literally teach a class on Politics of the Middle East, and I have less to say right now about Iran and Israel. So, I am just impressed by the confidence of folks, who are neither trained nor have the actual expertise in the region, to continue cosplaying as real analysts

Peter Leonard is a giant in the field of Central Asian studies. I cannot think of anyone who knows the region better than he does. We have all benefited greatly from his writing for Eurasianet for many years.

@safridis @intelliphant Knowing them & their intellectual calibre, sleepwalk is 99.9999999% probable.
@safridis I misunderstood. Thanks for clarification.
@safridis Make a small correction sir, it was not PTI, it was the majority of Pakistani people.
@safridis Basic assumption that it is the institution making decisions based on its long term view, objectives & goals is the question mark. It is fiefdom of whoever is heading it or controlling 2-3 key positions. He is there for 2-3 years, hence always shortsighted. No interest in beyond.
@safridis Too much power concentrated in one hand, too many conflicts of interests, the military needs urgent reform to align with 21st century values
@safridis And 250 million people fully aware they have zero say in the affairs of their country
CEO fun with quants #OOTT : Have the CEO go to the analysts and ask, "Hey ...uh....when was the last time the 8-3-3 stochastic on a daily chart of WTI was less than 2.00 out of 100.00 ?"..Hilarity ensues.
O&G traders sneer at former co-workers who start their own O&G trading shop. They say, "Yeah he's a CEO of one.." & "he has no office." But I'm here to tell you that the majors sure want to deal with us. I did a products deal with Phillips66 today: 20 gallons at $2.799. #OOTT
