Bin Qasim came through Makran to occupy Sindh ... no one could imagine China invading India through Eastern Ladakh in 1962 on those heights. Any land invasion is never easy to begin with nor an amphibious landing or in this case straight up suicide through Strait of Hormuz. US with its resources and forward bases in Balochistan could do it rather easily without significant losses to its Naval fleet. Also the idea of two front in itself is appealing. Ps: bin Qasim did NOT come through Makran. He was sent to bost. Which is kandahar and his first pitstop in Indian subcontinent was Sibi. That means he did what the indo scythians did and come through Bolan pass. Makran is Afghanistan landscape on steroids: high craggy mountains, sandy plains and not a single river or lake that isn't seasonal. Which only leads to the vast dasht e lut sand desert in Iran.

Air support couldn't solve Afghanistan and Afghanistan has been successfully invaded from outside. So how will Air support work against balochistsn ?? Wishful thinking. Iranian terrain is much easier to deal with than Afghanistan. Also if Americans really wanted they would have done a better job in Afghanistan.. Pakistan played spoilsport & that is effectively the reason an Independent Balochistan set up with US help and a puppet state makes perfect sense. They won't need Pakistan anymore.

Only if you get PAST balochistan and dast e lut and dast e kavir. Ie, northern, sw and western Iran = much nicer geography than Afghanistan. That is where 100% of all invasion routes to Iran lie. The terrain of SE and E Iran are even harsher than Afghanistan is why no one has ever invaded succesfuly towards Iran via that route. Balochistan is worse terrain than Afghanistan. They have same naked stony mountains but these are not high enough to have snow caps and give seasonal snow melt streams like Afghanistan. They have zero rivers and lakes and pretty much all their valleys are sandy deserts. The only habitable terrain of balochistan is the jacobabad-quetta-las-bela triangle region that hugs Sindh. Which is wrong direction. Edited March 25, 2025 by Muloghonto Lone Wolf 1

That's their insurance policy for survival as a nation.

Wrong .. Bin Qasim marched upon Debal by the way of Shiras via Makran. There are written records of that in both Arab as well as Sindhi Chachnama

Meaning Bolan pass not makran. Shiraz isn't starting point to get to makran from Iran. Starting point is Kerman. Also why the hell would bin Qasim March through balochistan ? Balochistan was ruled by paratarajas back then. Who had their capital around loralai or sibi itself. Who are already Arab vassals before they conquered Sindh. If you were Arab commander going to conquer foreign land via ur vassal kingdom, why would u go through makran and not Bolan pass where ur vassals capital is.... ? Edited March 25, 2025 by Muloghonto

Navy should launch the attack on Karachi port and burn it down to Ashes. Pakistan will keep on saying "nuclear nuclear" but they won't attack coz they know they will be wiped out entirely. We need to capture Umarkot and Nagarparkar...where we have significant amount of Hindu population. Pak Muslims should be pushed to Pakjab. Unless they won't see the real damage, the pak army won't learn. This will also silence Bangladesh when they see their Abba getting forked royally. Teengunalagaan and raki05 2
