The article claims to deconstruct "Pakistan's revisionism," but the article itself is a poor act of revisionism. Every line reeks of an out of touch old man's incompetence and dishonesty. Here is how: Like a true Hindutva lackey, Gupta accuses Pakistanis of falsely believing they won. He claims Pakistan committed Pahalgam because Munir said Hindus and Muslims are different people days prior to the attack. A mere reiteration of Pakistan's ideology became evidence for Gupta since India's security apparatus could not substantiate its claims. He then tells naive Indians that Pakistan planned a crypto deal after Pahalgam to exploit Trump's greed. He ignores that Bilal bin Saqib was appointed in March 2025, well before Pahalgam. Gupta says Munir knew India was pre-committed to respond, so Munir prepared. But Gupta never asks why India was pre-committed or how the ruling Hindu right trapped itself in a commitment trap. With proud naivety, he flaunts India's attack on places of worship on May 7: "They weren't able to prevent the strikes." Someone should tell Mr. Gupta that places of worship are nowhere guarded by air defenses. Gupta downplays Pakistan's initial downing of IAF aircraft: "They got some success." If he were honest, he would ask why the IAF was not ready since post Pulwama aerial battles are openers, and why the IAF was grounded for two days. He says only one side had evidence: commercial satellite pictures of damage to PAF bases and radars. We anticipated damage, sustained it, and honored our martyrs. Why did Maxar and Planet Labs release no imagery of Indian sites Pakistan struck? The NYT noted that "satellite images of Pakistani strikes are limited even at bases where there was corroborating evidence of some military action." There is ample evidence of how the IAF secretly buried its slain, ignoring soldiers like S 400 operator Rambabu. When India gave gallantry awards after three months, only two of twenty six were NCOs. "I'm not trying to restate recent history," Gupta said. Yes, you tried, and you failed. What you succeeded in is laying groundwork for another false flag by saying "India has to anticipate a new provocation" without questioning Pahalgam.

1. Pakistan has ended up losing every war against India but that hasn’t prevented it from claiming victory. My latest #NationalInterest, looks at how Pakistan has historically conducted warfare with India — tactically brilliant & strategically disastrous. That’s the reason it has lost every war after beginning strongly, sometimes even spectacularly.   2. The revisionist history of every war or skirmish is a popular subcontinental phenomenon. Just that in Pakistan it’s carried out at industrial scale, school textbooks included. Take the 87-hour skirmish. All of Pakistan believes it won this round. That this was followed by Trump’s embrace was seen as an endorsement of this self-proclaimed ‘victory’.   3. Fact is, Munir had planned this. The visit of Steve Witkoff’s son Zach & the crypto deal took place just 4 days after Pahalgam & nearly 2 weeks before Op. Sindoor. When he set up Pahalgam, Munir knew India would retaliate. The killings were his tactics to draw an Indian response. To reopen the Kashmir issue, with Trump sewn up, was his strategic objective. The first worked, the second failed.   4. Let’s look at the post-Pulwama story. Since the initiative of launching a terror provocation is always with Pakistan, they knew IAF will be used for retaliation. That’s how Op. Swift Retort, involving more than 26 PAF aircraft to bait the IAF into a scrap where they didn’t have the numbers or the range, was planned & rehearsed. They’re still celebrating shooting down an IAF MiG-21. Even if that’s a tactical plus, strategically, Indian deterrence lasted 7 years. Until Pahalgam.   5. The same story has played out earlier. Op. Gibraltar (about 10,000 regulars in mufti infiltrated the Kashmir Valley), followed by Op. Grand Slam to take Chhamb, then Akhnoor, cut off Kashmir & grab it with ease. Tactically, this was brilliant but somebody in Pakistani GHQ had to be extraordinarily dumb to think India would simply keel over & not expand the war to the Punjab plains.   6. Whatever the reality of Op. Sindoor, the Pakistanis have taken the wrong lessons from it. This will be compounded by the delusions of a rising diplomatic stature. India has to keep that in mind & anticipate a new provocation earlier than what we may have imagined 6 months back.     Read #NationalInterest: theprint.in/national-inter… Watch #NationalInterest:    youtube.com/watch?v=u-A-dc…

I have some Muslim friends. I have done business with a lot more. I have lots of Muslim aquaintences that I enjoy seeing throughout my week. They're nice people. I follow some of them on social media. Some like Trump some don't. But what I never, ever hear from any of them is condemnation of what we call "radical Islam". I wonder why.... seriously.

Glenn Beck@glennbeck·
As if he doesn't have enough jobs already, Marco Rubio apparently now has another name. @MsMelChen tells me how China literally gave him a new name to bypass their own sanctions on him: “Instead of rescinding the sanctions, what they did was just change Rubio’s name in Chinese, so that now the sanctions don’t apply... It's a 'different guy' coming in [to China]. It is a culture which cannot admit any political errors. It’s to save face. To actually reverse the sanctions would be to admit, ‘oh, we kind of did something that is a mistake.”

I look at the world map and I see Russia bogged down in Ukraine since 4 years, Iran with a US armada on their doorstep, another 2 blockades in the Caribbean and Arctic cutting China off, Europe deindustrialized by Washington, and Syria, Gaza, Lebanon being destroyed. How is any of this strategic or indicative of the US being in decline?
