@AdamMGrant True. There is however one caveat here: the minimum threshold of performance variability is not equal to poor performance. In other words, on any day, the lowest point of variability must be invariably higher than incompetent performance.

@MadihaAfzal The words and deeds of statesmen must always be circumspect and studied, because the international community is watching all leaders keenly all the time. This rule applies not only to PM Khan in Moscow, but any leader anywhere.

[Ali Shah @78AliShah]

@ZarrarKhuhro @atifraz27198024 True. Pakistan welcomes friendly relations with all countries. We should explore our concerns deeply, as they may reveal our furtive persuasions and fears,which again are a negative way of reinforcing one's preferences.

@ForeignAffairs @FareedZakaria Mentioning Pakistan as an "illiberal democracy" by a first-rate scholar like Dr Zakaria, who wrote a classic like From Wealth to Power (1998), was as regrettable back in the day as believing so is now. Haunted by specters of orientalism, it seems only to have alliterative value.
