Pakistan’s spending on nuclear weapons rose 18 percent in 2025 to an estimated $1.5 billion, outpacing neighboring India, according to a report by ICAN. arab.news/mx29s

Iranian Air Defenses have shot down a UCAV [Likely MQ-9A Reaper armed with AGM-114R2 Hellfire missiles] of the United States Air Force over Jam county, Bushehr, Iran.

No official word from #Pakistan yet, the #Afghan govt spokesman Zabihullah #Mujahid said early Wednesday that Pakistan has carried out air strikes in #Kunar, #Khost and #Paktika, causing casualties. The strikes were carried out Tuesday night after the banned #TTP claimed an attack on a post of security forces near #Peshawar, claiming lives of 6 FC men. Four others were wounded while 8 were abducted. The current strikes occurred at a time when #China is making efforts to hold second round of talks of the #Urumqi Process. On Tuesday, Pakistani and Afghan personalities wrapped up a two-day meeting in Istanbul. The #Turkish IHH-#hosted talks are aimed at ending the Pak Afghan conflict.

Private investment declining? Again related to high interest rates and uncertainty inherited from the economic crisis. Multinational companies exiting Pakistan? Some left, some expanded and some invested. This trend didn’t begin in 2024. Foreign investment pledges are illusions? Some projects have been delayed but Gulf and Chinese investment commitments remain active. Housing affordability worsening? Housing affordability has been deteriorating for years because of inflation, currency depreciation, and structural housing shortages and it’s a fuckin GLOBAL issue not just related to Pakistan. Electricity prices highest in the region? IPP agreements were signed by multiple governments. And I’ll happily debate anyone on PML-N’s IPP contracts being among the cheapest available options at the time they were signed. As for the Rest:- You’re crying that the “most popular leader” is in jail after repeatedly threatening to become “khatarnak” and after attacks on military and government installations. You’re crying about the judiciary yet everyone remembers Saqibooo and the role he played. Anyway, wait for my next post where I’ll explain what has actually improved in Pakistan instead of repeating political talking points. Stay tune 🤫

Wage crisis: The wage crisis happened during the peak inflation period of 2023. Inflation was 38% to around 11%. Funny how you leave that part out 🖕 National unity at its lowest? Yes during Dharna politics, container politics, and constant agitation we were all United. Your leader never wanted it in the first place 🖕 Political polarization remains extreme? Was political polarization not extreme when the leadership of two major parties was in jail? Stop pretending it polarization started in 2024. Unemployment at a 30-year peak? There is no widely accepted data proving that. Also, is ending unemployment only Punjab’s responsibility or do Sindh, KP, and Balochistan governments have jobs too? Zero export growth? Another lie. Tell everyone about IT exports. Have they grown or not? 🤫 Terrorism at record highs? Terrorism has surged since 2021 after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Your leader also brought 30,000 of TTP cunts back into Pakistan. Do you know anything about geopolitics? Azad Kashmir unstable? That’s wishful thinking and exaggeration. Petroleum levy crushing the public? Your leader agreed to petroleum levy conditions with the IMF as well. It isn’t something the government can simply ignore. The same policy existed under your government. No growth in industrialization? Industrial activity suffered because of high interest rates and stabilization measures that were necessary to avoid default. That was a consequence of the economic crisis not simply a policy choice. Learn some economics. Investment continues to decline? Investment remains weak but the economy has stabilized and major SIFC projects are still underway. Trade data manipulated? A serious allegation without evidence. Private sector borrowing weakest in 11 years? Because high interest rates reduced borrowing. Those rates were necessary to control inflation and stabilize the economy. Learn some economics before making speeches. Weak GDP growth? Growth is modest but Pakistan moved from near-default conditions to positive growth. Context matters. Inflation? Inflation was already around 13% when Imran Khan left office. It later surged to nearly 38% and has since come down to 11%. Has the recent rise got anything to do with the Iran-US conflict and global energy markets, or are we ignoring that because it doesn’t suit the narrative? FBR tax collection falling short? Falling short of its own target, yes. But tax collection is still far higher than during PTI’s tenure. Around PTI’s time it was roughly Rs. 9–10 trillion, now it’s around Rs. 14 trillion 🤫🖕 Salaried class taxed heavily? Fair criticism. But this problem existed long before the current government. Youth unemployment at 34%? This figure is constantly thrown around without universally accepted official support. Even if it were true, let’s compare unemployment on a per-capita provincial basis and see where that discussion goes. Construction sector negative? High interest rates hurt construction but those same policies helped prevent a sovereign default. Wholesale and retail trade negative? A temporary slowdown during economic stabilization is not the same thing as permanent decline. Manufacturing sector negative? Manufacturing was already under pressure during PTI’s final years because of import restrictions and external account problems. Tell the full story. Weak agricultural growth? Farmers face real challenges, but weather shocks, global commodity prices, and structural issues also matter. Have the recent floods and the massive damage to agricultural land been erased from memory, Shay? 🤫 Poverty rate at 44%? The poverty methodology was changed, increasing the threshold from roughly $3.50 to $4.20 per day. That naturally affects the numbers. Again, compare provincial performance as well instead of blaming one government for everything. Investment-to-GDP ratio low? True. It was also low under PTI.

Afghandus, wasn’t that Russian S-400 delivered yet? 😅Looks like the PAF is back to help send you to the Stone Age.

Update: According to local sources, airstrikes have been carried out in Afghanistan's Shultan district of Kunar province, Barmal district of Paktika province, and Spera district of Khost province. Initial reports suggest that the strikes targeted militant hideouts associated with Hafiz Gul Bahadur and the TTP.

@Alyhassan959 Yeah, we’ve seen your hard statein action, six policemen killed and seven kidnapped in Peshawar yet the CM seems more focused on getting Naak Da Koka out of jail. Have you questioned your CM even once? Have you tried finding even a little shame, begarto?

Is that what being a "hard state" means?

@Saad0khann1 Absolutely horrific. But six people were also killed and seven policemen kidnapped in Peshawar today. Did you question the CM of KP about why it has become so easy to kidnap policemen from the provincial capital or is the outrage selective?

The real question is: Why has it become so easy to kidnap, rape, and murder a girl in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan?

@RahimWazir5 Oh which nationality has killed 6 and kidnapped 7 in Peshawar today? Why is it always this one nationality?

Why is everyone considered a traitor in this country except one nationality? Why is it always assumed that this one nationality is right while all the others are wrong? Isn't this a clear sign to the country and the rest of the world that something is seriously wrong? #Kashmir

I live in Lahore and Faisalabad, and my village is 14 km from Faisalabad city. I have relatives in Rural Nankana, Sheikhupura, Farooqabad, and Safdarabad. I have been to all these places at least once in the last 2 months. All of these places, even villages, are better than Karachi, let alone interior Sindh. Stop lying.

@Imran_HussainMP Has this person ever raised his voice like this for the British people who elected him? Why is a UK MP supporting a terrorist organisation that recently shot and killed police officers? The UK needs to put a leash on this grooming-gang spokesperson

The extreme escalation in tensions in Azad Jammu and Kashmir is deeply worrying. I have called for an immediate end to the lockdown, the immediate restoration of communications, and the urgent resumption of peaceful table talks and negotiations at the heart of which must be respect for Kashmiri human rights.

From defenders of Islam to defenders of Israel 😅 Afghandu’s you can’t stoop any lower than this.

Don’t lie and get your facts straight. That $6–8 billion you generate floats in your economy, you don’t hand it to Pakistan. But Pakistan pays for 60–70% of your budget. You get around 250–300 billion a year from Pakistan in direct and indirect support. So keep these lies for the low-IQ ones. You people are getting exposed as the termites you are, eating us from the inside with no fucking appreciation whatsoever.

@PodoFA12 @Mystic690613 Lmao Azad Jammu Kashmir input to the output ratio of the regional budget allocated to economic revenue generated is 1:4.5. Go figure. Which is 2.8% of Pakistan's entire GDP while only getting 1.5% of the entire budget.

Can anyone give one convincing reason why we Kashmiris should join Pakstan? There is no development in POK, our resources are exploited by Pakistan without giving much in return, and when we demand our rights, we are brutally suppressed. Death to Pakstan and its reign of terror

Have you seen a single PTI supporter questioning their CM? Why is it that in other provinces if someone falls into a pothole, it’s blamed on the CM but when 6 people are martyred and 7 are kidnapped, there isn’t even a word of accountability for the CM? Terrorism can never end until PTI is ruling. They love the money they get from fighting terrorism, they never want to end it.

A TTP attack on military installation in Peshawar today has killed eight. The cost of abandoning Operation ghazab lil haq just because some confused danishwars wanted to play to the gallery.

Alert: Protests against the Taliban have erupted in Jibrail city of Herat Province, Afghanistan, following the arrest of a woman by Taliban authorities. According to local residents, Taliban forces opened fire on demonstrators, killing one person and injuring several others. More than two dozen individuals have reportedly been arrested. Videos circulating online appear to show Taliban members firing at protesters and physically assaulting demonstrators. Women have also been actively participating in the protests.

@HyderAli1993 Oi Hyder, you didn’t accept my challenge. Why are you talking to yourself from two different accounts? 😅 What kind of creep behaviour is this? 🤡

The khota khors are displaying their newly updated 66% literacy rate. 😭
