#3 Prediction: Within a month there won’t be a single duck still walking on two legs, the locusts will be as bad as ever, and the government of Pakistan will have to borrow more from the IMF or some other institution in order to pay back the Chinese loan to acquire the things.

#4 Prediction: Within a month...
