OVER 30 GENERALS ‘REFUSE TRUMP GROUND INVASION ORDER’ 12 fired ‘so far & timing’ can only mean ground troop mutiny

The 48-hour ceasefire request by #Trump, as per #Iranian media was rejected. The thing to think on though is that the US knows that it would be rejected and sharing this request was perhaps a way for it to paint Iran as unwilling for de-#escalation. The funny thing with narrative construction as some of my #stratcom students would know that in the information age of decentralized media, the narrative needs to be substantiable. A country that has been duped 2ice during peace processes has no reason to accept even a temporary ceasefire specially when war rhetoric continue to rage form the #USA. reuters.com/world/middle-e…

🇵🇰 Foreign policy gains facilitating peace really doesn't mean much if a you can not translate it into domestic gains. If the economy continues to deteriorate, dependence on foreign debt and being dictated by said institutions, and the continued increase in poverty rages then isn't the statesman facilitating the demise of their own people?

At Rs.458/litre, Pakistan now has the 2nd most unaffordable petrol on earth relative to income. Only Ethiopia — with a $1.50 daily wage and $1.30/litre fuel — ranks worse. Every other country, including the poorest in Asia and Africa, is behind Pakistan on this measure.

'HUNDREDS OF US TROOPS KILLED OR INJURED' in IRAN WAR — The Intercept Trump admin is reportedly running 'CASUALTY COVER-UP' of losses in Middle East 'If fractional number of contractor injuries is added to tally, casualty count for Americans & those on US bases may top 13,600'

Increase #taxnet, ensure collection, end exuberant #elitesubsidies...do not kill the #workingclass with this #petrolbomb. A logic quite simple.

If true, the military pole may be crumbling. Should we adjust in courses when we refer to the US as the strongest military power when the assets themsleves and mil alliances have fsild to live up to the task? @fass_air

Spokesman of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters: 🔺 A second US fifth-generation F-35 was struck & downed over central Iran by a new IRGC Aerospace Force air-defense system. 🔺 Given the massive explosion on impact and during the crash, the pilot is unlikely to have ejected.

With #petrol now at a shocking 458 PKR/litre, it's officially a crime to be employed in Pakistan. Your salary can't even cover basics anymore — expenses crush earnings. And this is just the start: more hikes are coming to please the #IMF, as reported by The Express Tribune. tribune.com.pk/story/2600818/… #PetrolHike #Incompetence #PakistanEconomy

The #Iranwar rages on, war rhetoric mounts...how does one set aside thinking and writing space for the anniversary of the India-Pakistan #May2025conflict. We know in a month or so, there'll be events and publications on the matter from the usual platforms in 🇵🇰. But we need new thought, different angles, and unexplored avenues that are not constrained to the same fallacies and inertia that we've seen for decades. Perhaps a #SouthAsian #climatesecurity lens ? @fass_air

Half if not end elite subsidies as a structural, regulatory, and legislative reform. While the solution is simple and self evident for any decent citizen of the state, the issue lies with the adjective, for all are not decent and not in the business of serving those they represent on paper. #petrol #458 #pakistan #elitecapture

Will diplomacy and mediation prevail? What will be the outcome of #Pakistan's facilitation to bring the Iran war to a halt as the war rhetoric continues? Watch our discussion with Amb. @aizaz1101 youtu.be/jdhHQdBNlH8?si… #trump #hegseth #USWAR #iran

A point of clarification, Professor. I am an acdemic from Pakistan for context. The clarification I'd request is that whether a prospective route from Pakistan was left out by the system creating the visual or was it not included in the direction given to system generating the graphic. The reason I ask is that there has been a lot of talk on whether or not Pakistan will be pressured to facilitate such a strategic mistake, and I want to know whether tactically, a potential route from Pakistan is not feasible or is it more due to the fact that Pakistani leadership is unlikely to accept taking part in this strategic mistake?

Nevada national guard unit called up for the Gulf. Realistic look at Stage 3 ground operations in Iran war:

As the average Pakistani was coping with the #solar bomb that was dropped in the form of the new NEPRA Prosumer Regulations-something I explore with @SAVoices, the citizen is with a petrol spill. The percentage increase amounts to the working class having to chose between one kids school tuition fees. Breakdown: The price increase is roughly 57%. Taking an average monthly commute cost of 20,000, the new cost would be 31,400. The 11,400 PKR difference is about the cost (slightly more) of a single child's tuition at an APS. So, what of the constitutional preamble or of the larger social contract between citizen and state. #furuacademicus southasianvoices.org/ec-m-pk-r-paki…

Petrol prices raised to unprecedented level in Pakistan. Instead of reducing the petrol levy being charged per litre they shifted the entire burden on people. This is their way of 'smart lockdown'. Imagine if they had to manage COVID crisis in the country!!!

🚨🇬🇧 BREAKING: British surgeon gives HORRIFYING testimony to the UK Parliament. He describes how IDF drones arrive right after airstrikes in Gaza, targeting and shooting the injured, including children, right on the spot.

Joe Kent was just talking about this.

Absolute bombshell on CNN. A former federal prosecutor confirms AG Pam Bondi pulled agents off counter-terrorism to scour the Epstein files and redact Donald Trump's name. She orchestrated a massive cover-up to protect the President and obstruct justice.
