#NawazSharif will use all the “influence” he has in foreign capitals & groups to bring #Pakistan disgrace.
In #Kargil, he surrendered a militarily victorious campaign while sitting on the sofa in the #OvalOffice to bring shame to the #PakistanArmy.
He has kept a firm - silent - position on acts of #terrorism linked to foreign governments, intelligence orgs and/or asylum seeking #Pakistan|is, like @BBugti. Don’t be surprised to find other #Baloch insurgent leaders to voice support in coming days.
Being the person who brought the #MemoGate case against @husainhaqqani, his govt has failed to bring him back to #Pakistan to face the courts on #treason charges.
He began his defamation campaign targeting the courts that deposed him. He “connected” it to the #PakistanArmy without any evidence to support. He then announced #Pakistan was behind the 26/11 #Mumbai attacks.
He is prepared to destroy #Pakistan for his own ego.
Remember, at one point in his previous term as Prime Minister, he attempted to become #AmeerulMomineen, #King of #Pakistan.
Thankfully, @P_Musharraf sent him packing before he could achieve his regal “aspirations.”

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.
