The Spin

Diplomatic talks in Urumqi produced nothing binding to stop this cycle of violence.

The Afghan media's claim that Pakistan struck Sayed Jamaluddin Afghani University is a blatant fabrication designed to manufacture sympathy and distract from the Afghan Taliban's documented support for the TTP. Pakistan's operations under Operation Ghazab lil-Haq are precise and intelligence-based, targeting terror infrastructure, not civilians. Spreading fake news to shield terrorist sanctuaries is a transparent tactic that serves no one except those enabling cross-border attacks on Pakistani soil.


Metaculus Prediction

There's an 80% chance that Pakistan will recognize the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan before 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
