🚨 BREAKING: US B-2 bombers used Indian airspace to strike Iranian nuclear sites.

Flight path: Guam ➡️ Andaman Sea ➡️ Central India ➡️ Iran border.

India, once again, isn’t neutral. It’s a facilitator of war.

Tory leader Badenoch: “Israel is fighting a proxy war [in Gaza] on behalf of the UK”
The reason for Israel as a proxy:
"it is about arming Israel to weaken those, like Iran and its regional allies, who refuse to submit to the West’s domination of the Middle East"
"In that way, arming Israel is seen as no different from arming Ukraine to weaken Russian influence in eastern Europe"

Ceasefire or Intermission?

Peace is not a one-sided burden. And India will no longer pay for it alone.

The world may still be calling it a skirmish. On May 9, 2025, what had long simmered beneath diplomatic surfaces turned kinetic.

The India-Pakistan conflict has escalated into a significant military confrontation, with both nations engaging in airstrikes and missile exchanges. India’s Operation Sindoor targeted Pakistani military installations (the sharpest since the 2019 Balakot airstrikes) in response to a terrorist attack in Kashmir that killed 26 civilians. Pakistan retaliated with Operation Bunyan Ul Marsoos, launching strikes on Indian military bases.

Neither side has declared war. While airspace is being locked down and artillery exchanges intensify, the war is no longer about border posts or LoC shelling. This is about strategy, survival, and the beginning of a new regional order.

This is a high-stakes, multidimensional conflict, fought across geography, cyberspace, information, and alliances. India’s posture is notably different this time. It’s not just reactive, it’s strategic. As noted in a 2024 report by the Indian Ministry of Defence, “Any future conflict will be fought across hybrid terrain, where perception, resilience, and control of the narrative are as critical as control of territory.”

The timing is not coincidental. India’s foreign exchange reserves crossed $750 billion in April 2025, making it the fourth-largest globally. It has emerged as the world’s fastest-growing large economy, and its strategic weight in the Global South is undeniable. From defense deals with France to joint Indo-Pacific exercises with the U.S. and Japan, India is no longer a hesitant regional actor.

And the stakes? They’re no longer confined to South Asia. The China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), Gulf economic interests, Western investment pipelines, and Asian security architecture are all at risk.

News of a ceasefire is trickling in. But like many, I don’t expect it to last, Pakistan is a bonafide rogue state, and its track record leaves little room for trust. The next war isn’t an “if,” it’s a “when”, and when it comes, India will act with clarity, resolve, and legitimacy. And the consequences won’t stop at South Asia, they’ll shake the global order.

Let’s look at possibilities through the lens of geopolitical probability, not wishful diplomacy.

1. Redrawing of territorial maps in South Asia

South Asia’s map was drawn by colonizers. It may now be redrawn by consequence.

If Pakistan loses strategic coherence, militarily, politically, or economically, these suppressed identities could rapidly evolve into breakaway narratives. The war’s outcomes may not just be about territory, but identity reclamation across fault lines ignored for 75 years.

If the war continues and internal unrest intensifies, Pakistan is likely to fragment. India will reclaim Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) as a strategic and constitutional priority. But beyond that, deep-rooted ethnic and regional fault lines, Balochistan’s independence movement, Pashtunistan’s revival, and Sindh’s growing discontent, could break Pakistan into multiple entities. A weakened central government, military overstretch, and economic collapse would accelerate this disintegration.

When Pakistan’s western flank collapses into instability, it will fracture its control over the CPEC corridor, drawing China directly into regional negotiations, not as a benefactor, but as a crisis manager.

2. Global oil markets and trade routes face fresh volatility

South Asia is not only a nuclear flashpoint, it also borders some of the world’s most critical oil shipping lanes. A prolonged India–Pakistan war could:

Disrupt tanker routes from the Strait of Hormuz
Spark pre-emptive hoarding and price spikes
Delay regional supply chains across the Middle East and Southeast Asia

Gulf countries will be forced to recalibrate; continue backing a fragile Pakistan, or align closer with India, their largest remittance and trade partner.

3. The China–India–Pakistan triangle intensifies global polarization

If India sustains military pressure, China may be compelled to overtly support Pakistan, through intelligence, cyber operations, or border diversions. But that support comes with its own risks. A fractured Pakistan is a CPEC liability and a potential extremist spillover into China’s restive Xinjiang province.

India, in contrast, will likely gain further traction with the U.S., Japan, Australia, France, and other Indo-Pacific allies, who see this conflict as a means of countering Chinese expansionism.

“The India-U.S. relationship today is not transactional; it is transformational.”
– Antony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State, Indo-Pacific Forum 2023

We may be witnessing a decisive moment in the realignment of Asia’s security architecture.

4. Turkey’s soft war: Opportunism in the name of solidarity

Turkey’s foreign policy under Erdogan has leaned toward pan-Islamic solidarity, and Pakistan has long been a beneficiary. From joint military exercises to coordinated disinformation networks, Turkey’s alignment with Pakistan is ideological and strategic. Turkey has funded cultural propaganda in Kashmir through NGOs and digital outlets. Turkish drones and military tech have already been supplied to Pakistan under earlier defense agreements.

While Turkey won’t directly intervene, atleast immediately, expect it to be a vocal actor in international forums, pressing the OIC, UN, and EU to condemn India, even as Ankara quietly expands its own influence in the Muslim world.

5. NATO: Exposed, divided, and increasingly sidelined

The India–Pakistan conflict may be outside NATO’s geography, but not its implications. This war could expose, test, and potentially splinter NATO’s relevance and unity:Here’s how it pressures the alliance:

NATO’s jurisdiction is technically limited to the North Atlantic region. South Asia, especially India and Pakistan, is outside Article 5 commitments. Yet, globalized supply chains, nuclear risks, and cyber threats from this conflict directly impact European and American security.

If a nuclear incident in South Asia affects global weather or refugee flows, NATO will be forced to act, despite no legal mandate. This creates a credibility crisis: Can the world’s largest military alliance remain passive while global security is threatened?

NATO members will not agree on how to respond. Turkey will likely side with Pakistan (historical military and ideological ties), France and Greece may call for economic and defense support to India, the U.S. will be caught between a strategic partnership with India and past intelligence ties with Pakistan, while Germany and Eastern Europe may push for neutrality.

This reveals NATO’s deeper problem: a lack of unified strategic will outside of Europe.

Add to it the ongoing tensions in Ukraine, the Baltics, and Africa leave NATO stretched thin. A South Asia crisis may force triaging, undermining its global posture.

“In a multipolar world, alliances will be issue-based, not geography-based.”
– IISS Asia-Pacific Security Conference, 2023

The India–Pakistan war may not destroy NATO, but it will expose its limits, accelerating regional security partnerships outside NATO, such as:

India–France–UAE trilateral cooperation
QUAD deepening (India, U.S., Japan, Australia)
AUKUS (Australia, UK, U.S.) expanding footprint

These agile formations bypass NATO bureaucracy, and may begin replacing NATO in Asian scenarios.

6. Cybersecurity and misinformation become weapons of mass disruption

The digital front is already active. As part of its (mis)information warfare, Pakistan has leveraged bot networks and disinformation to flood platforms with fabricated civilian casualty narratives, drawing international sympathy. During the 2019 Balakot airstrike, over 30,000 fake social media accounts were traced to coordinated campaigns originating from Pakistan and Turkey. [Source: EU DisinfoLab]

India, on the other hand, is deploying AI-driven threat intelligence and multilingual narrative counterstrike tools. ️This conflict is a warning bell: The next world war may not start in trenches but on timelines and dashboards.

The world must be prepared for a new South Asia

India may enter ceasefires, but peace with a state that breeds conflict is not a sustainable strategy. As long as Pakistan continues to shelter terrorists and wage asymmetric warfare, any truce is just a pause, not peace.

But here’s the deeper question the world must confront: Why do global financial institutions continue to fund a state that exports terror?

Between 2019 and 2023 alone, Pakistan received over $20 billion in loans and bailout packages from the IMF, World Bank, ADB, and others, despite being repeatedly flagged by FATF for terror financing and money laundering risks.

Where is this money going? Into economic development, or into weapons, propaganda, and proxy networks?

It’s time global institutions are held accountable. You cannot finance stability and fund a defaulter terror state at the same time.

India has no illusions left. The global order must now choose: Will it uphold peace and principles, or continue to enable a regime built on provocation and deceit? Because peace is not a one-sided burden. And India will no longer pay for it alone.

The global community must recognize that this conflict is not a border dispute; it’s a structural fault line. Pakistan’s fragmentation, the redrawing of strategic maps, and shifts in power dynamics are no longer fringe predictions; they are real possibilities.

The world must be ready. Because India is.

Since all we see now is crocodile tears and double standards by western leaders, accompanied with the usual lies, here are two articles that shed some light on what ACTUALLY happened.

I can't fill out much due to word limit, but the grand plan was to further split Europe from Russia and thereby make Europe even more dependent on the US.

Meanwhile, the same politicians do nothing about an actual genocide....

Under the Radar: ‘Israel’s’ Ruthless Expansion and Syrians’ Struggle

“Israel” capitalized on the fall of the Syrian regime on the 8th of this month, launching a wide-scale operation to destroy the qualitative capabilities of the Syrian Arab Army. The operation targeted missile weapons stores, manufacturing and development sites, air force facilities, air defense systems, radar installations, research centers, and naval combat assets. Israeli warplanes are still freely parading in Syrian airspace, with Syrian citizens always hearing the sounds of Israeli reconnaissance planes overhead.

In this scenario, the Syrian Arab Army would have lost the majority of its weaponry. If reconstituted, it would become a fragile and symbolic army force, incapable of effectively facing an overwhelming, American-backed Israeli military that occupies whatever land it wants, and bombs whatever it wants, whenever it wants.

While the head of the new Syrian administration, Ahmad al-Sharaa, (formerly Abu Muhammad al-Julani), was busy receiving political and security delegations from various countries, “Israel” initiated a large-scale ground incursion into southern Syria. This action was justified by the new governor of Damascus who stated, “Recently, Israel might have felt afraid, so it advanced a little and bombed a little. These fears are natural, but Syria’s problem is not with Israel, and we do not wish to tamper with Israel’s security.”

In full view of the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) posts, Israeli forces violated the 1974 agreement and took control of more than 10 Syrian villages, covering an area of more than 20,000 km²,

Abu Muhammad, a resident of the Quneitra countryside, recounted happened:

“The Israeli forces raised their flag on the Quneitra Governorate building, and destroyed numerous houses in the surrounding countryside, along with small farms in various towns. They bulldozed lands and farms and uprooted trees, and erected earthen barriers and fortifications around the Mantara Dam, Syria’s second-largest dam, cutting off our water supply. Additionally, they installed extensive surveillance cameras and communication devices. When civilians protested against their actions, the Israeli forces fired live ammunition directly at them, resulting in numerous injuries.

They sought to disarm all the villages, either by destroying heavy machinery or confiscating individual weapons, which had proliferated after the Syrian army withdrew from its military positions. Initially, we refused to hand over weapons except to the Syrian state. However, the Israelis informed the local dignitaries that they would not allow any armed faction to operate in the area.”

The population is gripped by anxiety and panic following the Israeli incursions, the summoning of young men for investigations, evacuation warnings, and the imposition of a curfew, are all happening without any reaction from Damascus.

The Yarmouk Basin, the area richest in water resources in the Daraa countryside, came under complete Israeli control. Contrary to reports of an Israeli withdrawal, the region instead saw the establishment of a military presence on the heights overlooking the area. This occurred amidst a significant wave of displacement from the villages in the basin.

The Israeli occupation forces advanced to seize control of the strategic summit of Mount Hermon and destroyed the crosses where Syrian Christians traditionally gather to celebrate the Feast of the Transfiguration every year.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently visited the summit of Mount Hermon, where he stated, “On this occasion, I would like to thank my friend, President-elect Donald Trump, for responding to my request to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights in 2019. These heights will forever remain an integral part of Israel. Everyone understands the great importance of our presence there, on the summit of the Golan, not at its foot. Our control over the Golan Heights ensures our security, and it ensures our sovereignty.”

For Netanyahu, the old Zionist dream of controlling the water sources in northern Palestine, excluding the Litani River, has been realized.

This new situation has altered many equations, from a military perspective, and indicators suggest that the fate of the newly occupied Syrian territories will mirror that of the occupied Golan Heights. The land is highly fertile, and water resources are abundant, which increases the likelihood of permanent occupation and the construction of more settlements, provided no significant resistance emerges.

The Israeli occupation will likely disregard international resolutions if they are issued, as evidenced by United Nations Resolution No. 242 in November 1967, and Security Council Resolution No. 497, issued unanimously in 1981. Both resolutions called on “Israel” to annul the annexation of the Golan Heights, yet “Israel” has ignored them.

Trump müsste Putin am Telefon Folgendes zusichern:

Ukraine: “Die eigentliche Katastrophe ist Shabuning – das mit Kommandeuren abgesprochene Umgehen des Militärdienstes”

"As a reminder, in actuality Ukraine and Russia had independently negotiated a peace agreement by the start of April, 2022, less than two months after Russia's invasion on February 24. However, on April 9 former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson made an urgent trip to Kyiv on behalf of the US and NATO, where he successfully pressured Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to break negotiations with Russia. This was because the West's ambitions since Ukraine's Western-backed "Maidan Revolution" of 2014 has been to exploit Ukraine for a prolonged proxy war with Russia - a calculated and long awaited escalation that had finally entered full swing with Russia's long-baited invasion. As Julian Assange sacrificed so much to show us, the Western military industrial complex does not fight wars to win them. It deliberately manufactures endless wars through which it can launder federal monies through private industries into the pockets of elites, as well as gain control of material resources. These wars are sold to the pubic under the guise of "spreading democracy," yet reality is that most places are left far worse off."—Terre Thaemlitz [Letter to Uwe Schmidt] >

The #ProxyWar / #UkraineRussiaWar continues to worsen, with more US assets in play and more advanced weapons, and now 10,000 #DPRK troops entering the fight for Kursk & Donetsk. Putin's postmodern #neofascism and Biden's neocon jingoism are both wretched.
