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.
.@SecPompeo’s statement that #Pakistan soil should not be used against #India is a typical rejoinder from #Republicans, while avoiding the real issue.
#Pakistan, @SecPompeo, was again the target of a coordinated terrorist attack yesterday, organized, planned and orchestrated from #Afghanistan by proxies of #NDS & #RAW.
The secretary is welcome to deny for his own national respect, but we know the truth.

After #COAS#Bajwa again talking about #5GW and the threat #Pakistan faces, the #PTI government has still been unable to restrict the access or approach of any of these groups.
#Warfare, especially in today’s connected, camera friendly world, is much easier to wage.
Nations can steal elections with the right strategy. They can change narratives with hostile actions. They can create hate and distrust.
We have all of these happening in today’s #Pakistan.
And the govt is sleeping...
From #PTM/#TTP to baseless rumors mongering, #Pakistan has become a battleground that is being lost due to no one bothering to understand the problem and its solutions.
That’s the distrust they showed in us. No one trusts the other when it comes to defining the problem.
As #India continues attempts to ban foreign voices & analysis, wouldn’t you question the thinkers within that country as to how free & honest their own thinking is?
The #Indians claim that they are better at #InfoWar than any other country, yet they are unable to counter true statements without their rhetoric or hysteria.
Go back & check old tweets, you’ll find the bulk of educated, civilized #Indians unable to speak without hate.
#InfoWars are won with facts & analysis. #India can’t win a war because they manufacture facts favorable to them, whether true on ground or not.
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.
For those of us who have learned #India’s #InfoWar model, we should have millions of #US & #UK bots re-tweeting & insulting #Pakistanis, full of misspellings & foul language.
The standard of the game from their side is amateur at best.
We can expect multiple references to perceived victories, while covering up failures in surgical strikes & planes “shot down.”
And if that doesn’t work, they will try to ban you from @Twitter for questioning the #Indian state over #Kashmir.
