اسرائیل کے دارالحکومت تل ابیب کی فوٹیج ۔۔ جنگ مخالف بڑا مظاہرہ

[Secunder Kermani @SecKermani]

Awful, heartbreaking, unacceptable

We’ve just been at the funeral of two young volunteer paramedics in southern Lebanon - killed in a direct Israeli strike… one was only 16 years old

They were killed whilst wearing their full kit according to witnesses - returning from the scene of an earlier strike

The deliberate targeting of healthcare workers is a war crime but Israel has killed dozens here in recent weeks (and many more in 2024 and in Gaza)

پیر صاحب کو کوئی بڑا پیر ٹکر گیا
جب پیر صاحب نے ہاتھوں کو پکڑ کر ہلانا تھا تو لڑکے کو کودتے ناچتے زمین پر گرنا تھا
لڑکے کو شاید پہلے بتایا نہیں گیا یا پھر وہ خود پیروں کا پیر تھا یا جیکٹ نئی تھی زمین پر لیٹ کر گندی نہیں کرنا چاہتا تھا

Former CIA Director Mike Pompeo:

“We need to make sure that the story is told properly so that when the history books write this, they don’t write about the victims of Gaza.”

"The victims were the people of Israel.”

This is literal holocaust denial.

@Jaferii thought you were a sane man! Imran Riaz is hero to this guy! Propoganda brigade! Only a handful of youthias and not every young man!

This is such a great article. Written from the heart of every young person to every old man failing at their job in Pakistan.

This happened 10 years ago. Nawaz Sharif had the guts to engage India, initiated dialogue & persuaded Indian prime ministers (Vajpayee and Modi. Both from BJP) to visit Pakistan. He imagined a day with breakfast in Kabul, lunch in Lahore and dinner in Delhi. Let’s keep dreaming.

ہم کسی کو اسکی زندگی میں تسلیم نہیں کرتے اور مرنے کے بعد تاثر دیتے ہیں گویا اس شخص سے بڑا کوئی لیڈر نہیں گزرا، نواز شریف کے دو بڑے کارناموں میں موٹر وے کی تعمیر اور بھارت کیساتھ تعلقات کو معمول پر لانے کی ٹھوس کوششیں تھیں اور اسکا ثبوت یہ کہ دو بھارتی وزیر اعظم خود چل کر آئے

[Asma Shirazi @asmashirazi]

احمد شریف کے والد بشیر الدین چوہدری نے راوی کو سرخ دیکھا ہے ان کے کیمپ پر سکھ حملہ کرنے والے تھے تو والد نے عورتوں اور بچوں سے کہا دریا کے کنارے کھڑے ہو جاو اگر اللہ اکبر کی آواز آئے تو ٹھیک وگرنہ سب دریا میں کود جانا

ایسے ہیروز پر آج PTI کا آفیشل اکاونٹ کتا بن کر بھونک رہا ہے

@HNadim87 you can do better than that buddy!

Notification crisis in Pakistan. Game-theory analysis on what might be happening:

=>The guns are out, and before the Army could take a shot, Nawaz Sharif fired the first round, hoping it would be the only one he'd need.

=> But Nawaz Sharif, couldn't have possibly gone for a preemptive strike, unless he had consolidated support from senior army generals and larger national security system before hand.

=> The elevation to CDS, Field Marshal +, and life immunity were all likely deceptions to distract Gen Asim Munir into believing in his own power and destiny. Once the army chief steps out of the dreamland of forever power, he will come to see how he got played.

So what could possibly happen in the next few days/ weeks (short-term):

Scenario 1: Rapprochement - Both sides Cooperate
Notification is issued, after Nawaz Sharif and Gen Asim Munir renew their uneasy bargain knowing that cooperation may still the best payoff for both them for now. The power struggle begins again. (Medium-High probability but very fragile, short-lived, and will implode instantly).

Scenario 2: Gen Asim Munir Goes All In! (Defect)
Gen Asim Munir goes for a military coup. (low probability given the domestic and institutional circumstances + low approval rate of army chief to allow him leverage to takeover. Trump WH could be a possible variable here).

Scenario 3: Nawaz Sharif pulls a Wild Card (Defect)
Notification is issued, but a new army chief is appointed instead. (Wild Card and high probability given the previous history of Nawaz Sharif). Faced with this shock and awe strategy, Gen Asim Munir may not have the mobilisation or institutional support to launch a counter strike or a coup.

Scenario 4: The Entire Game Collapses - Reset
Under the notification crisis, the entire system and regime collapses on its own weight, discredited domestically and globally. A foreign led reset comes into effect and Pakistan goes into election, Imran Khan gets released, and army chief exits the country. (Low probability in the short-term, but high probability in the medium-term if crisis continues.)

The fact is that neither Gen. Asim Munir nor Nawaz Sharif have any good cards here, and in some ways fighting a battle that is already lost. The entire system crashing becomes a likely scenario.

The Ducky case isn't really about Ducky. It's about what happens when the people enforcing the law are running bigger scams than the people they arrest. Until our institutions decide that the law applies to them too, we will keep ending up in these absurd situations where everyone is in the wrong and nobody comes out clean.
