Time for Sovereign AI. Pakistan cannot afford to wait.
In a first, the U.S. government has ordered Anthropic to deny the entire world access to its two most powerful new AI models: Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Whatever the official reason, the message is clear: America doesn’t want the rest of the world using its most advanced AI models. AI is the new weapon.
This reminds me of Huawei’s founder Ren Zhengfei, who said in the 1980s: a country without its own technology is like a country without an army.
AI is creating a new have/have-not world, where the entire world depends on just two countries: the U.S. and China.
As a nation, we have missed too many trains like technology revolution and internet boom etc. We cannot afford to miss this one.
Western and Chinese AI models don’t properly understand our context: languages, history, culture etc. We may not be able to build the world’s most powerful AI. But we can build sovereign AI, trained on Pakistani data, Pakistani context, Pakistani knowledge.
With this, our data stays inside Pakistan. Our services cannot be switched off by a foreign government. What happened on Friday can never happen to us again.
This train is still at the station. But not for long. Don’t miss it.
Imam Reza (as)
A believer is not a believer unless he possesses three traits:
1.The tradition of his Lord is keeping secrets.
2. The tradition of his Messenger (saw) is being lenient with people.
3. The tradition of his Friend is patience in difficulties and hardships.
هذا ما قلته لرويترز اليوم: لم تعد الامارات بحاجة لأمريكا كي تدافع عنها فقد اكدت خلال العدوان الإيراني انها قادرة الدفاع عن نفسها بجدارة، ما تحتاجه الإمارات هو اقتناء افضل وأحدث ما لدى امريكا من اسلحة فقط لذلك حان وقت التفكير في اغلاق القواعد الأمريكية فهي عبء وليس رصيد استراتيجي
@spectatorindex This illustrates that in the long term in a war of attrition the cost became to much for Germany (along with additional factors) and we compare it to modern day United States where the pentagon and Oval Office are going to the the senate and house to approve funding.
@spectatorindex compared to the Germans (Iran having inferior technology to the Americans and Israelis), they were able to produce more and at a lower marginal cost (Iran with its drone warfare and ballistic and hypersonic missiles and basis to produce them).

The PAA has greenlit a Rs. 100 Billion mega-project to overhaul Jinnah International Airport. We aren't just talking about a facelift—this is a total transformation!
The Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA) has officially set a massive expansion plan in motion. With a 50-year vision in mind, this project aims to transform Karachi into a premier regional hub.
What’s coming:
New Infrastructure: Construction of a brand-new terminal building and expansion of existing domestic/international terminals.
Logistics Hub: Development of a modern "Cargo Village" and international-standard cargo facilities.
Future-Proofing: Designed to handle decades of projected growth in passenger traffic and trade.
Work is already accelerating. This is a huge step forward for Pakistan’s aviation sector and economic connectivity! 🇵🇰

Here is the proper way Karachi should be governed: Karachi generates between 60 and 70 percent of Pakistan’s total tax revenue and processes the bulk of its port and trade throughput, yet every administrative structure imposed on it has been designed to move money out, not build anything in. A directly elected metropolitan government with constitutionally entrenched fiscal retention the city keeps 65 to 70 percent of what it collects, transfers the remainder directly to the federal consolidated fund, no provincial intermediary does not need Islamabad’s generosity or Sindh’s permission to function. The tax base is already there. What has never been allowed is for the people who live inside that tax base to control what it builds.
The 28th Amendment will simply install a different version of the same extraction which is federal “ghunda” raj in place of the provincial wadera kind.
Pakistan will return matured loan deposits to the United Arab Emirates, in a move that will strain the South Asian nation’s reserves. https://t.co/w1VWDj6yLR
@HinaRKhar Regaining Geopolitical Neutrality
Financial constraints often come with "strings attached" that limit a nation’s foreign policy. De-risking from UAE financial influence allows Pakistan to reclaim its strategic autonomy.
This is Pakistan’s independence we are not beggars.
@HinaRKhar By repaying the $3.5 billion, Pakistan demonstrates that it is no longer reliant on bilateral "charity." This acts as a powerful signal to the International Capital Markets and the IMF that the country is moving toward a self-sustaining debt management profile.
BREAKING: Pakistan is positioning itself as the "lead mediator" between the US and Iran amid peace talk discussions, per FT.
Details include:
1. Pakistan is using its ties to Iran and "warm relationship" with President Trump
2. Pakistan has pitched Islamabad as venue for talks in the coming days involving senior figures from the Trump administration and Iran
3. Pakistan's Army chief Asim Munir spoke with Trump on Sunday
4. Pakistan's Prime Minister held talks with Iranian President Pezeshkian on Monday
The conversation between the Pakistani and Iranian leaders reportedly came at around the same time President Trump posted on a potential peace deal this morning.
