Perhaps my being a bit of a stickler for context is an issue for some readers?It shouldn’t be. Without a broader understanding, not saying one that is complete or all encompassing because that’s not possible, simply having a fuller grasp of any given situation, we'll avoid the appearance of wild accusations made for no good reason.Abdullah provided some all important context to this situation. He did not entirely dismiss the issue of Pakistan receiving military aid from the US. Nor did he deny the existence of terrorist groups on Pakistani soil. I’m glad for that. These are issues that have to be considered in the big picture. Alongside others of course. Abdullah mentions the striking similarities between Israel and India’s treatment of it’s Muslim neighbours. Definitely not beneficial to peace in the region! Like Abdullah, I’m still hoping this situation will cool down. Though the latest news today is not suggestive that is the case.Thanks for taking the time Abdullah :)

- AbdullahFebruary 28, 2019 at 6:39 PMI'll try to put something together Penny regarding India and thus pakistan. Terrorism seems to be the universal justification for aggressive provocative actions. It has been exploited in the most egregious fashion to justify illegal wars and attacks. Not that terrorism doesn't exist it surely does. India is a strategic partner of Israel and has a striking similarity with some of their Zionist counterparts. The most obvious and ashamedly overlooked is their massive brutal occupation of Kashmir. Very similiar to denying Palestinians their right to live decently and with dignity violating their basic norms of freedom. Their longest serving prime minister Nehru promised a solution to Kashmir but this has never materialised. 70 years of heartache for them people. This is the underlying anguish for Pakistan watching from their side of the LOC at the plight of their brethren and not being able to do much alone. Just like Russia is watching the suffering of it's brethren in Eastern Ukraine and having to tread carefully, and that is only a few years old. The situation is at it's worst under this nationalist hindutva regime who consider all of Kashmir as their own. They are unrepentant at the suffering of them people just like the Zionists they are close to regarding the Palestinians. The current regime have aspirations of a greater India (another similarity) and this means the destruction and subjugation of Pakistan. A minister from the current regime called for the break up of Pakistan into 4 pieces. Enabling separatist aspirations in blochistan, Sindhis from the south east. Pashtoons from pakhtunkwa. Hence, their involvement, in blochistan and Afghanistan. But it will backfire just like Bangladeshis are no longer in favour of India as they were previously since their independence, partly helped by an extremely violent and corrupt regime of Hasina which has ties to India. Israel is leading them towards these aspirations too. Why? Israel seeks to dominate the globe from Jerusalem in their twisted messianic ideology. They are the ones pulling the Strings in most major conflicts, including using USA to a final purpose of waging war on russia, believing that only by weakening greater powers can they realise their dark agenda. This is a topic in itself. What I'm illustrating here is when that great war commences (Christians call it Armageddon, but their are many variants) Pakistan will be a credible nuclear threat that they seek to elimate at that time or before. The want to denuclearise Pakistan obviously. And India is their arm to lead this agenda. Pakistan does not want war. It is the underdog and has quite a bit going for it, particular the flagship CPEC project in the OBOR dream of China. Delete
- AbdullahFebruary 28, 2019 at 6:40 PMIf you listen to the Two medias Pakistan wants reconciliation and does not desire war but they will not be bullied. Indian media doesn't even mention the word peace and reconciliation as though this is beneath them. I hope I am wrong. Like I said terrorism is effected in many forms. The west, Israel, India are just as guilty. But its always used against the Muslims and has become the casus belli for unwarranted aggression and the destruction of Muslim states. There are so called muslim groups tied with western intelligence agencies and this is a big problem especially for the Muslim's themselves. But those that exist and are deluded harm the muslims and non Muslim's and create discord in between. Totally not the divine Islamic way of life. Pakistan is massively traditional Islam even though radical elements have infiltrated through gulf financing. Then there are genuine reprisals as a result of tyranny and then there are false flags. The Mumbai attacks were Most likely a false flag right next to a chabad Lubavitcher centre. India uses this as their 9/11. You may be right about rogue elements within the ISI. It's more than possible. The pak military does receive US funding so you will get compromised individuals. Imran khan cannot be mistrusted as of yet. He is a patriot and strong leader. He won't allow Pakistan to be used like before. He is more in tune with the genuine military. I cannot say more than that. Some things i am wary of. But he has the potential perhaps to be a unifying force for the country, which can be for the good. I respect that he doesn't fall for the accusations of supporting terrorism attacks abroad. Like the recent Indian attack which i suspect was false flag/mossad. Nevertheless, you can't just say this is your fault we are coming to attack you without any evidence or presentation and on this pretext conduct preemptive strikes. Totally Zionist behaviour. He is sincere in not allowing such attacks destabilise his goals. He has a goal of developing a new Pakistan. Hence, his firm response. A war is really in neither countries interest at all. However, as stated, India is heavily allied with Israel and this is an extremely ominous relationship. There is much in common between the two. Both harbour a supremacist ideology and in India's Case the ruling powers who identify as Brahmins rule by right and look down on their lower castes who can justifiably be sacrificed as collateral. They were the ones who enacted the globalists agenda of de-monetising certain paper currency which massively affected the poor. The globalist agenda is to collapse all paper currency for an electronic currency which will be under their complete control headquartered in Israel. It doesn't look very promising I'm afraid to say. Though this particular standoff may be diffused. God willing.
Obviously I'm less trusting of Imran Khan. But, I do respect the fact that others do not feel the same way. Abdullah is correct that the Muslim terror groups do a great deal of harm to their own brethren and cause conflict between muslims and others. My inclination, though I cannot prove this, is that the terror attack in Kashmir was instigated by a third party. As was stated:
"I'd be inclined to see this as a third party instigation done through Pakistan.. for so many reasons."Who wants India and Pakistan at each other’s throats? Hmmm.."
The situation in Kashmir is so volatile that it could easily be set off by the smallest spark. This move does not inspire confidence
Crowds on the Indian side of the border with Pakistan dwindled late Friday as the wait for the handover of a captured air force pilot dragged on.Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman, who was downed on Wednesday over Kashmir, had been expected to be handed over to Indian authorities at the Wagah border crossing on Friday afternoon.But as night fell, the wait dragged on and the crowd of people, previously numbering several thousand waving flags and singing patriotic songs, dwindled to a few hundred.Authorities on both sides were tight-lipped on the reasons for the delay.
Imran Khan stated he would release the Pilot as a 'peace gesture', which is a good PR move. So what happened? Why delay the release? ( I will check for updates on this news)→UPDATE 3:45pm
"It is good to be back in my country," was the first reaction of IAF pilot Wing Commander Abhinandan...
We are happy to have him back," said a top IAF officer shortly after Varthaman was handed over to Indian authorities
According to a deal with Washington, Islamabad is only permitted to use the US-made F-16 warplanes for counterterrorism operations, but India claims that it has violated the agreement.India is sharing "detailed evidence" with the United States that Pakistan scrambled a US-made fighter jet, which was acquired under a "fight against terror" programme, in the recent Kashmir incident.
Indian and Pakistani forces are engaged in a heavy exchange of fire at as many as eight different locations along the Line of Control separating the two countries' forces in Kashmir, multiple informed sources have told Sputnik.

Trajectory and The Geopolitics of Pulwama (M K Bhadrakhumar)
"As for Israel, the Modi government has fundamentally reoriented India’s policy toward Israel by needlessly injecting into the relationship an ideological content, where none exists. It overlooks that Israelis are rank opportunists who are motivated by self-interests. During his visit to Israel in July 2017, Modi committed an appalling act — out of deliberation or simply due to lack of erudition, perhaps — by paying homage to Theodor Herzi, the founder of Zionism, in Jerusalem.
On the other hand, on Modi’s watch, India’s Palestine policy has been reduced to mere tokenism. At any rate, the Indian elite failed to anticipate that Israel and Pakistan are actually birds of the same feather as Saudi Arabia and the UAE, who sponsor terrorism and deploy terrorists to foreign countries as statecraft. If the US has its way, these 4 kindred states will now for all purposes provide the steel frame of the MESA in a vast region that forms our western neighbourhood. "
