The Indian Foreign Minister’s assertion that Pakistan’s military was'offered a chance' to stay out of the conflict is a staggering distortion of international norms. The only message loud and clear is this: Pakistan will not be coerced into accepting punitive strikes as India's sovereign birthright.

May 7 wasn’t just about missiles. It was about metadata. Pakistan fused Swedish radar, Chinese missiles, and tactical coordination to bring down three Rafales, without radar lock. This is what 21st-century air combat looks like.

#EscalationControl #DigitalBattlespace Pakistan’s edge in the 2025 crisis didn’t come from volume of fire it came from how fire was directed. Secure data links, real-time targeting, and electronic warfare shaped outcomes long before the dust settled. Great analysis by Pravin Sawhney

Folks! In Saudi Arabia, President Trump claims credit for stopping an 🇮🇳 🇵🇰 war by offering trade as an off-ramp. Rubio worked the backchannels. And Vance reinforced the stakes. A strategic mix of economic stakes and political signaling turned the tide. Unorthodox? Yes. But unquestionably powerful.
