Can Pakistan and Afghanistan Afford Another Cycle of Escalations?
Pakistan conducted a ground operation against the terrorist hideouts of TTP and ISK-Province in Afghanistan and carried out calibrated airstrikes on June 28, 2026, in response to the Afghan strikes in Pakistan’s Balochistan province on 19 June, 2026. These strikes carried out by Pakistan resulted in the killings of 29 militants. Afghanistan claimed that these […]
The Taliban’s Free Ride: How Kabul’s Rulers Pocket Western Funding While Fueling Regional Chaos
Nearly five years into Taliban rule, one uncomfortable fact keeps surfacing in official audits and UN reports. The men who run Afghanistan have found ways to profit from the very aid system designed to bypass them. They have used the breathing room it buys to entrench their grip, indoctrinate a generation, and let the country […]
How US Taxpayers Are Funding Russia’s War
What if the most consequential funding relationship in the Ukraine war is not between Washington and Kyiv, but between Washington and Moscow? Follow the money. Follow the equipment.

Pakistan and Allies have Stopped the Greater Israel Project from Becoming a Reality
The idea of an Israel extending beyond its internationally recognized borders did not originate in October 2023. It has existed for decades within Revisionist Zionist thought, carried forward by settler movements and religious nationalist currents that never abandoned the vision of sovereignty across the entire historic Land of Israel. What October 2023 provided was not […]
SIGAR Confirms It, Washington Is Funding an Emirate That Exports Terrorism Straight Into Pakistan
The paper trail runs from a US inspector general’s report to forty million dollars a week to training camps sheltering the TTP, Al Qaeda, and a growing list of anti-Pakistan militant networks.

The Weaponization of Grievances
“Terrorism does not need the truth. It needs a story convincing enough that no one thinks to check the truth at all.” The Baloch Liberation Army does not just claim an attack. It fabricates one twice over, once on the ground, and once online, where the casualty count is inflated, the footage is cut for […]
EO-3 and Pakistan’s Shift Toward Mission-Layered Earth Observation
The launch of Pakistan’s indigenous PRSC EO-3 satellite from China’s Long March-6 on 25 April 2026 was accompanied by familiar rhetoric of technological advancement, national pride, and the cultivation of Sino-Pakistani space cooperation. These understandings, however, are not sufficient to convey the more important strategic story. The significance of EO-3 is not in the satellite […]
The Doha Agreement’s Broken Promises Are Now Fueling Afghanistan’s Transformation into a Global Terrorist Hub
When the Taliban signed the Doha Agreement in February 2020, one of its central pillars was a written commitment: Afghan soil would not be used by any group or individual to threaten the security of the United States or its allies. Five years on, the record tells a starkly different story, one in which Afghanistan […]
Afghanistan’s Absorption of Syria’s Displaced Terrorists Signals a Dangerous New Phase in Regional Security
Syria’s post-conflict authorities are dismantling what remained of the country’s foreign terrorist infrastructure, arresting fighters, restricting extremist networks, and closing off what was once among the world’s most permissive operating environments for jihadist groups. On paper, this looks like a counterterrorism success story. In practice, it is redistributing the problem rather than solving it. According […]
