“A decisive turning point came with Pakistan’s unexpected showing in its brief but intense May clash with India, an outcome that reportedly left Mr. Trump stunned. The conflict showcased a level of military discipline, strategic focus and asymmetric capability that Washington had thought unattainable. Officials in Washington who had casually written off Pakistan as a fading power began referring to it once again as a serious regional actor.”

So President @realDonaldTrump NSS 2025 is Good News for Pakistan on 3 counts: a) Pakistan is being treated at par with India, which is no longer being groomed as South Asia’s regional policeman at US behest; b) quest for normalisation with China means no new Cold War, so no pressure on Pakistan to ‘choose sides’; c) Israel-centric Middle East is thankfully over in US priorities, so gives Pakistan an opening & opportunity to emerge as Net Security Provider for friendly Arab countries as Emerging Major Muslim Middle Power!
🚨 A BIG VICTORY FOR PAKISTAN 🇵🇰

#WATCH | Washington, D.C.: US President Donald Trump says, "We stopped a lot of wars. And these were serious, India and Pakistan, that was going on. Planes were being shot out of there. I think five jets were shot down, actually. These are two serious nuclear countries, and they were hitting each other. You know, it seems like a new form of warfare. You saw it recently when you looked at what we did in Iran, where we knocked out their nuclear capability, totally knocked out that... But India and Pakistan were going at it, and they were back and forth, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and we got it solved through trade. We said, you guys want to make a trade deal. We're not making a trade deal if you're going to be throwing around weapons, and maybe nuclear weapons, both very powerful nuclear states."
