It is apparently a well-established fact that Media especially electronic media in Pakistan is having a tremendous effect in Pakistan in all spheres of life. The reason behind such a result is the educational background of the general populace and the belief what they see on TV is right. Freedom of speech and news reporting are being used as a pretext to feed the masses tailored agendas. Pakistanis are being sold anti Pakistan rhetoric without even a wince from the authorities. Media Manipulation is a series of techniques partisans create an image or argument that favors their particular interests. Almost most of the time the methods employed are deceptive suggestions, psychologically manipulative narrative, rhetoric, propaganda and twisted or even outright completely false content. Most of the times its politically motivated but is it important if its politically motivated or not I don’t think so such practices are common around the world. So what’s the difference between Pakistan a

CPEC THE BINDING FORCE ORIGINS Work started on the Karakoram highway back in 1959. The highway is 1300 kilometers long starting from Hasan abdal in Pakistan reaches Kashghar in China. It could be hailed as true beginnings of China Pakistan Economic Corridor. In 1998 the Chinese started taking real interest in the Gawadar port. It was not until 2002 when construction began and was completed by the Chinese in 2006, after that work stopped due to political reasons. During the visit of Chinese premier in 2013 it was decided by both the friendly nations to develop connectivity between the two nations. The formal announcement of the project was made in April 2015 during the visit of the Chinese president Xi Jinping. Needless to say the inception of KKH was a defining moment because if there was no KKH there would have been no CPEC upgrading of road networks including KKH and the decision to build 1,240 km long Karachi-Lahore Motorway along with different other projects were pivota

LOUD AND CLEAR is the message to Pakistan we will not let you proceed with development in your country that easily. The development of CPEC is unacceptable. Shift from the policy of uncle Sam and bear the consequences. Islamabad had earlier facilitated negotiations between the afghan Taliban and the afghan government also invited was the Chinese and the Americans. Before long it was as clear as crystal that the Americans never wanted the talks to succeed. In fact it was blamed by many from Pakistan that it was the Americans and their stooge government in Afghanistan that had sabotaged the talks either by bombing the negotiating factions of Taliban and leaking the news of the death of Mullah Omar rite before the talks began. Even with all their sincerity for peace in Afghanistan the government in Islamabad could not succeed. why one may ask Islamabad was and is so desperate for peace in Afghanistan. The simple answer to that question is the peace in Afghanistan is directly rel

On 15 th of February Moscow is hosting talks Agenda Afghanistan. Invitations have been extended to three more key players in addition to the original three i.e. Russia, China & Pakistan. The new participants are Afghanistan, Iran & India. It is quite clear quite clear that the three Eurasian powers have already talked and agreed upon matters and now have decided to move forward bringing in other relevant players. Afghanistan is obvious Iran has been part of the Astana dialogues before and has an obvious engrossment in Afghanistan and will see eye to eye with Moscow. India however while having interest does not seem to be in agreement over the course of action viable to the others. The inclusion of India is due to the relationship Moscow and Delhi have held for such a long time. It is also being said that the Americans are also going to be present. The recent shift of India towards USA and its belief that no Taliban are worth negotiating is not going to give it much

The nuclear triad as the term refers means three different delivery systems for a nation’s nuclear arsenal. The main reason this is such a coveted ability is due to the fact that it gives the possessing nation an assurance that the enemy cannot destroy all of its nuclear assets in first surprise attack. This gives the ability to strike back from other platforms of the triad assuring deterrence due to mutually assured destruction or MAD scenario. Essential parts of the triad are ballistic missiles, strategic bombers & submarine launched ballistic missiles (SLBM,s) or cruise missiles. Pakistan currently possesses BRBM,s i.e. battle range ballistic missiles SRBM,s short range ballistic missiles and MRBM,s medium range ballistic missiles. They cover a wide spectrum of ranges from 150 kilometers to 2800 km,s. Than come ALCM, s Air launched cruise missile namely  RAAD its capable of being launched from Pakistan Air force Dassault Mirage 3 Rose and also supposedly from JF 17 Thunders w

The speed at which things are changing in the realm of foreign policy and strategic partnerships has never been witnessed by the modern world before it is a matter of great consequence and countries slow to acknowledge the facts and the culminating repercussions are going to find themselves in a quagmire chaotic situation where they are unable to achieve their national goals despite trying their best. The reasons for this sudden movement are very clear the sole policeman of the world is suddenly finding itself challenged not just diplomatically but on the ground as well as we have witnessed serious challenges put forward by the Russians on ground in Syria and China in the South China sea recently. And remembering the Hainan island incident occurred way back in 2001 when an American United States Navy Ep 3e Aries 2 signal intelligence aircraft crashed in to a Peoples liberation Army Navy j8 interceptor fighter jet the resulting dispute was a signal back then. Americans were forced
