The “Doval Doctrine” no longer works for India or the region. In fact, events today suggest it is a spectacular failure in “containing” Pakistan. After failing on the conventional battlespace in several encounters, the institutionalisation of cross-border terrorism through proxy groups is openly aimed at destabilising Pakistan. The strategy appears clear: if Pakistan cannot be challenged through conventional means, then the objective is internal destabilisation “through a thousand cuts”. That too will fail because Pakistan understands and is adept at counter terrorism better than most countries. The point here is that this doctrine has exposed India to a public global backlash against its export of terror as a doctrinal norm.

Two nation theory in a single image.

Tried to ask PM Modi a question on the way to the elevator to, but the closing doors stopped me. What I was wondering was whether he thinks he deserves the trust of the Nordic countries given his human rights violations and his restrictions on press freedom.

Some Hindutva thugs in Indian Punjab tried to harass an innocent Kashmiri Muslim girl, thinking they could get away with it. But the Khalistanis stepped in instantly like absolute beasts, protecting her and shutting the harassment down on the spot. Bravo.

🇵🇰 The man Khan fired is now running Pakistan's nukes. Think about that for a second. Munir was sacked by Khan in 2019 after just eight months as ISI chief. Eight months. Khan threw him out after he went to Tehran with the Pakistani delegation and blew up the room, went completely off the script the government had agreed on internally, used language with Iranian officials that had no business being used, and actively wrecked what could have been a genuine step toward better Pakistan-Iran ties. Iran complained directly to Khan. Khan fired him. That same man now controls 170 nuclear warheads with zero institutional checks left standing. What happened between getting fired and getting the keys is the part that should make every Pakistani furious. After the sacking, Munir allegedly flew to London and sat down with Nawaz Sharif, who was conveniently living in self imposed exile at the time. Khan called it the London Plan. The deal as Khan described it was straightforward, Munir gets army chief, Khan's government gets taken apart, his party gets destroyed, the judiciary plays along. Sounds insane until you watch it happen exactly like that, step by step, over the next three years. Munir became army chief in November 2022 in a process multiple reports said involved heavy consultations with the same Nawaz Sharif sitting in London. Within months Khan was arrested. Shariar waltzed back into Pakistan in October 2023 and had most of his convictions vacated almost overnight. By February 2024 his brother was prime minister, the elections were rigged openly and Washington and Brussels said nothing. Then Munir really got to work. He promoted himself to Field Marshal, invented a brand new title of Chief of Defence Forces, and passed the 27th Constitutional Amendment scrapping the Nuclear Command Authority that had existed since 2000. That authority existed for one reason, to make sure no single person could ever make a nuclear decision alone. It required the prime minister, the joint chiefs, the service chiefs, all in the room. All of that is now gone. Munir replaced it with the National Strategic Command, headed by himself, answerable to nobody above him. The prime minister's only remaining role is to appoint people Munir recommends. Pakistan has 170 nuclear warheads. Every single one of them now answers to one man. Khan, the man who saw all of this coming and tried to stop it, has been rotting in a cell for nearly 3 years. And Munir gets called "my favorite Field Marshal" by Trump. Source: Drop Site News
