But Munir’s journey to Washington wasn’t to reminisce over old alliances. He came to renew vows—between client and master, between gun and gold. And the message he delivered was crisp, calculated, and unmistakable: Pakistan remains a subcontractor for American power, ever willing to whisper verses of moral clarity in public while striking Faustian bargains in private. Take Gaza. As Israeli bombs pummel a besieged population and Western leaders squirm under the weight of their own hypocrisy, Islamabad offers its routine package of condemnations—pre-written, perfunctory, and purposely ineffectual. Munir’s regime weeps…

The closure of the Strait Harmuz” is likely a would be a catastrophic global event with severe and far-reaching consequences, primarily due to its role as the world’s most critical oil transit chokepoint. Here’s a breakdown of the major consequences:

Why is Closure Considered Possible (though unlikely long-term)? In Summary: The closure of the Strait of Hormuz would be an unparalleled economic and geopolitical shock. It would cause an immediate global energy crisis, trigger a deep recession, spike inflation, disrupt all global trade, massively increase shipping costs, and carry a very high risk of escalating into a major regional or even wider conflict. While perhaps not permanently sustainable for any actor, even a temporary closure would have devastating global consequences. It remains the single most significant potential flashpoint for the…

India is reportedly moving forward with a massive plan to construct 10 new mega hydropower projects in Ladakh, strategically placed to control the headwaters of the Indus River. Projects like Achinathang-Sanjak, Pharphila, Sumda (Batalik), and Khaltsi may be marketed as progress—but in reality, they pose a serious risk to the region’s water security.

This article is titled: “Will Pakistan eventually have to launch a nuclear attack on India over water?” Let us explain how India has already waged war against Pakistan, and how it continues to succeed in this war, while the Pakistani public and its rulers sleep soundly, under the illusion that India has not deployed its military against Pakistan on the battlefield.

War or peace on the Indus? May 6, 2025 John Briscoe Anyone foolish enough to write on war or peace in the Indus needs to first banish a set of immediate suspicions. I am neither Indian nor Pakistani. I am a South African who has worked on water issues in the subcontinent for 35 years and who has lived in Bangladesh (in the 1970s) and Delhi (in the 2000s). In 2006 I published, with fine Indian colleagues, an Oxford University Press book titled India’s Water Economy: Facing a Turbulent Future…
