Reflecting on two decades in uniform, I still maintain that I ended up in the best of professions. Soldiery at its core is above trivialities of life. A soldier’s resolve can be measured by the fact that each time he goes out on a mission, probable death is part of the package. A soldier is not defeated by enemy’s superior tactics, surprise attacks or crafty manoeuvres. He defeats death by embracing it.
Unfortunately, downside of soldiery is bottom up. Matrix gets weaker at the top whether it’s military leadership, political leadership or Hybrid.
Nationalism is the cancer we are trying to cure with the tumour of democracy.
Robin Williams (US actor-comedian) once said,”Politicians are like NASCAR drivers, they must wear sponsor badges on their shirts”. However, Pakistan is an exception for its uni-sponsor state policy.
Now that Rockefeller sponsored Starmer is on his way out of 10 Downing Street, The Stalking Horse could be Shabana Mahmood who we might as well call the Dark Horse (pun intended).
This is how propaganda plays out- 21 Million Russians died in WW2 but the only number in millions the world knows about is 6 Million Jews. However, the world has changed, hitherto ignorance was a blessing but now a choice.
Our actual growth rate is less than our actual population growth rate. In plain words, cake is getting smaller and eaters are growing. Who keeps eating the cake?
Operation Sindoor turned 9 May commemoration in Pakistan to 10 May Marka-e-Haq celebrations.
Across the board, in today’s world; religion, ideology and isms (socialism, humanism, communism etc) are for common people and slogans for ruling elite who believe in power and money however & whichever way they can hang on to it.
We haven’t earned so much favour from any POTUS than the incumbent who in most polite US publications and his stalwart depleting MAGA supporters (Tucker, Candice, Marjorie etc) is controversial, divisive, polarising, Narcissistic, Convicted Felon, Fraud, Authoritarian, Dictator, Fascist, Chaotic, Erratic, Racist, Sexist, Bigot, Bully, Boorish, Petty. Wonder why it took American voters so long to do us this favour? Arrogant
