Greta is a free woman beholden to no state. She cannot be co-opted and dazzled by fame. They will never give her a Nobel. How many Nobel peace prize winners were on the flotilla? Zero. That’s the point of them: giving the west a safe,“activist” that will never threaten them.
I say everything upfront so people don’t have unrealistic expectations of me. Otherwise, it just becomes a burden, and everyone usually wants to get rid of burdens.
No fantasies or delusions, just reality, whether sweet or bitter .

I am extremely grateful to President Trump for his pathbreaking leadership and commitment to global peace and for his most valuable offer to play a greater role in bringing lasting peace to South Asia.
For decades, Pakistan and the U.S. have been partners who worked together closely to protect and promote our mutual interests as well as for peace and security in critical parts of the world. I am confident that in President @realDonaldTrump, Pakistan has found a great partner who can reinvigorate our strategic partnership and strengthen Pakistan-U.S. ties, not only in trade and investment but in all other areas of cooperation.
There is restlessness in the silence. I was flipping the channel when ceasefire was announced. Aaj Tak and Zee News both started reporting ceasefire violations and drone attacks. Then suddenly a break came and after the break their entire tone of reporting changed. Someone posted on Twitter that Arnab was blasting Trump over ceasefire decision. Then he got a call between the show and when he returned his tone was completely changed. Omar Abdullah posted about multiple loud explosions in Srinagar and he hasn't posted anything since then. The media report claimed nothing happened. Why did Omar go silent as an eye witness? There is something govt is hiding. Why Home Minister Amit Shah & Defence Minister Rajnath Singh hasn't posted anything regarding the ceasefire. What happened in Nagrota? What happened in Vaishno Devi?. What happened in Srinagar?What input intelligence got? This doesn't look like just the Trump intervention saga. Going into coma mode after smoking 12 strategic air bases sounds very suspicious
West is trying hard to Foster India as a strategic ally to counter China but they are so incompetent that fail even a small test. And now bringing humiliation to west's mighty arms industry.
Understanding the Hamas attack on Israel:
Iran is aiming for a confrontation with Israel and the US. The success of Russia in Ukraine is encouraging Iran to undo decades of hostile US foreign policy in the Middle East. A bankrupt US Govt has just been invited to another war.
The timing is opportunistic. The US Govt is forced to print trillions of USD as it struggles to raise new debt. Another war would lead to a significant increase in inflation and an accelerated economic decline of the US.
If Iran mines the Strait of Hormuz the global energy crisis would become critical. The Biden administration has used the majority of US oil reserves to stabilize domestic oil prices. Iran can increase the pain for the US Govt significantly.
Ukraine is turning into a major defeat for the US and NATO. A new front in the Middle East would accelerate the US decline. The US Govt and its western partners simply cannot afford it. Russia and China would benefit most. Iran understands this and is playing into the hands of its partners.
