For many who may be subject to Western mainstream propaganda machine or to the fascist Godi media in South Asia on US-Israel/Iran war the following analysis by inimitable Pravin Sawhney may be enlightening. He is probably one of the best analytical minds of our times.

#Pakistan is against the Taliban & TTP. Meanwhile the indigenous Pashtun opposition to TTP e.g. Manzoor Pashteen & Ali Wazir are in prison. Ali Wazir alone lost 16 of his family to Taliban. Is the #PakistanAfghanistanWar against terrorism stupid, schizophrenic or a fraud?

Unbelievable. The Defense Ministry in heart of #Damascus under wave of israeli airstrikes.
