That there’s a new normal in global geopolitics is old news. The world can’t predict what Trump utters every day. His unhinged remarks trigger nations and put them off balance. The lesson is: wait for the dust to settle; Trump’s reality does oscillate. Just look at China, Ukraine and Iran.
Modi dismantled Pakistan’s biggest lie from Adampur airbase, exposed 1960s-style propaganda
Modi’s presence at Adampur airbase has dismantled the biggest Pakistani lie. They claimed four key Indian Air Force stations suffered damage. None were. PM even used the S400 battery as a selfie backdrop on live TV. Pakistan’s 1960s-style propaganda will always fail the test of satellite and social media era.
Modi struck at Pakistan’s double-speak on terror. The non-state actor fig leaf drops
PM Modi has brought an important, paradigm-shifting end to the distinction between Pakistani government-sponsored terrorism and masterminds of terrorism. It buries the definition of non-state actors and de-hyphenates Pakistan establishment and its proxies. The fig leaf Pakistan fooled the world with has dropped now. Modi has struck at this double-speak.
The Pakistani establishment’s mastery over the dark arts is known to all. The United States put it to good use in driving the Soviets out of Afghanistan, contributing to the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union. 2. Equally true that intense conflict between India and Pakistan is not something the world is happy with. The United States alone had the power to do something about it, and it has. 3. It is now for India and Pakistan to step back from the recent crisis and explore whether they can find a way to live with each other.
