Good luck with that. And there is no such thing as "South Asia," just like there is no such thing as Europe. The former is the Indian subcontinent and the latter is West Eurasia.

Eurasia wasn't used until the appearance of 20th century movements. But fine I'll rephrase: Pakistan, the greatest power on Indian subcontinent.

Very possibly so! They've won all their wars over India too which is much more populous than all the Nordics too.

I am not thinking that Ukraine is winning but I am a decent human being so naturally can't cheer for Russia.

A decent human being doesn't pray for "glassing" a country.

Especially the 1971 war, where they won so well that East Pakistan became a new country.
