It always disturbs us when #liberals bash our #PakArmy citing foreign models of military service.
Militaries are well-versed in strategic challenges & opportunities that their nations face. They don’t make the decisions, but they advise all quarters.
Intelligence briefings.
Militaries don’t run businesses abroad. They are developed counties. #Pakistan is not.
That’s why defense contractors hire retired military to run their operations, quality assurance & other aspects, based on their experience in the battlefield.
Militaries don’t run governments either. That would be because truly democratic states don’t run to the military HQ to beg the overthrow the government.
In #Pakistan, #GHQ is frequented more by opposition politicians than Majors & Colonels.
Input from the armed forces is intrinsically linked to the successful running of any government. Please examine your international models and find one that doesn’t take advice from their intelligence & military chiefs on foreign policy & military decisions.
So please come out of the dream world that tells you militaries are just for fighting and governments are for decision making.
Lastly, also please advise on which natural disaster, rescue or other tragedy that has been handled by the “government” without asking the military to step in and solve it.
What are the police, political supporters & disaster management for?
#Liberals would rather blame the military than accept that they have failed to elect anyone other than corrupt, dysfunctional politicians to office.
Accept your failure and do better.
Don’t blame those who serve and protect our nation.
Let the haters begin...

As the #Taliban continue to claim moving #TTP fighters to western #Afghanistan, TTP fighters have been confirmed in northern AFG, today the head of district intelligence of the Taliban’s Main Intelligence Directorate (GID) can under attack in #Badakhshah province.
For those unfamiliar with #Badakhshah provincial borders…
Another important factor to keep in mind is the #geological value of #Badakhshah province.
This is of key importance to #China’s investment into minerals in #Afghanistan.
Some interesting reports coming out of #Afghanistan over the past few days:
- roughly 2,000 #Taliban suicide bombers have been moved to the #Iran|ian border since the end of May.
- #ISKP has also started moving their fighters to northern #Afghanistan, according to sources within an anti-#Taliban group. They are being moved to #Badakhshan, #Takhar and some others.
Apparently, there are both @CIA and #ISI fingerprints on this.
The #TTP occupation in #Swat is significantly more than is being reported in the domestic media.
Many villages are under TTP control, and search operations have been on-going for more than 5 months.
It is no surprise that the TTP has returned to Swat for us @commandeleven.
For the past 3 years, we have repeatedly informed and warned that the TTP presence was growing and their influence was increasing.
Deaf ears.
We have repeatedly argued against the negotiating table, because it is a sign of weakness.
Why should we negotiate?
The news of Gen. #FaizHameed's deal to hand over parts of #KPK to #TTP, in return for peace for the country - that is accepting defeat and emboldening the enemy.
Is it any surprise that there was a significant uptick in violence from December onwards, when TTP walked away again?
This is a significant foreign policy mistake by the #US & @SecPompeo
Having a defense collaboration agreement already in place had already made regional players uncomfortable, the sharing of intelligence data with #India is a recipe for disaster in the region.
The #US alignment with the #Modi government clearly shows that they are not interested in human rights or justice with #India
Rather, the US comprehensive support with embolden @narendramodi to go further than previously imagined.
What makes this even more significant is the coming withdrawal from #Afghanistan, where the #US will want to secure their minor gains. #Indian involvement will raise the stakes for failure for #US foreign & military policy.
