No ME airspace is safe from Israeli attacks. And it’s only a question of time before Israel provokes Iran/Hezbollah into retaliating. And that in turn could evoke an Israeli nuclear response. Nethanyahu is truly keen to denuclearise and deindustrialise Iran.

Six more Pak jawans were martyed in KP by terrorists operating out of Afg. In return 12 Afg bigots were ‘sent to hell’. Such incidents now barely make the front page of Pak papers. But let there be no doubt, a Pak-Afg conflict is brewing.

Every artifice has been deployed by the Govt to show that the PTI can’t get a decent crowd to assemble and protest. Alas, the fixation with what IK says and does merely makes it easier for IK to set the agenda and dominate the conversation.

At least the Tal are consistent in their bigotry. The Afg diplomat in Tehran also refused to stand up for the Iranian national anthem and for the same reason as his colleague in Pak, because it contained music. Tehran called his conduct ‘reprehensible’

Following of the precedent set by Israel we can expect all sorts of lethal attachments to cars and motorcycles that would explode on a call from the manufacturer of the vehicle. A death blow to Pak —India trade given the precautions we now need to take?

Record pest infestations, heat and erratic rainfall has devastated cotton production in Pak. It has declined by as much as 63% over last year. Add increase in labour, fertiliser and pesticide costs and the outlook is grim for the farmer. Sad.

A piece of good news. Border trade between Pak and China and employment opportunities at the Sust Dry Port is anything but sust. In fact it has never been better and, what is more, about to get even better, say experts.

Great move by Pak to work with China V terrorism. Let China also help us gaurd the entire length of the CPEC road network up to and including Gwadar. The more we collaborate with China the less our dependence on the US, an uncertain, temperamental and selfish partner.

What on earth is the PM doing in New York? Addressing a defunct body known as the UN which comprises States ( many of the banana variety) not Nations; nor is it United. And has proved to be useless in maintaining peace, its primary reason for existing.

Bombing a Gaza hospital even as doctors inside are performing surgeries is a new low even for the US -Israel axis of genocide. The fact that none are willing to act to thwart such a crime is final confirmation that evil has triumphed in the world.

The split in the top judiciary, now self evident, means more controversial decisions and more feuding. Politically the country is already deeply divided; and economically the single statistic that every person on birth owes Rs 295,000 says it all. Pray for us

The US determines Pak policies and trade relations with Iran, China and Russia. Anybody saying otherwise is a bloody liar. Currently no opening to Iran is permitted by the US and with China and Russia several projects remain stalled because of US objections.

“Afg shd not be punished for the mistakes of the Afg Govt” says our PR in the UN. So, even if Pak is attacked by the TTP from safe havens in Afg and Pak’s are killed, Pak will do nothing. Truly “those who the Gods want to destroy they first make mad”.

What on earth was the Govt trying to prove ferrying foreign diplomats to Malam Jabba? That all is well in KP and conditions are ideal for tourism? Well, any fool can tell that’s not the case. TTP terrorists backed by the Afg Govt and funded by India stalk KP.

After Israel’s indiscriminate bombing of hospitals and schools and the inaction of the UNSC, notwithstanding international law and the decision of the ICJ, the laws of war can be discarded as targeting civilians has no consequences.

The NYT, a.k.a the Jewish rag, could not find any quality, among the many needed by Kamala to be a good US President, and hence alighted on her ‘love of cooking’ as one which ‘could help America’.
