Possibility of a future war between India and Pakistan

For four days from May 7 to May 10, fear and panic prevailed for four days not only in the subcontinent, but also among people all over the world. During these four days, the missile, drone, and airstrikes exchanged between India and Pakistan brought the two nuclear-armed nations to the brink of a full-scale war. Despite the global panic, no mediator was seen between the two sides during the first three days after the war began. At that time, neither India nor Pakistan showed any sign of compromise in their body language. Amidst the war cry, a statement by US Vice President JD Vance further alarmed peace-loving people worldwide where he said, “The India-Pakistan war is not our business.”

India-Pakistan War: Nuclear tensions and role of global powers

The biggest concern about the war that has been going on between Pakistan and India since May 7 is that there is no strong mediation or de-escalation initiative from the international level so far. China, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Iran have offered to mediate. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi has already visited the two countries. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is also in telephone contact with both countries. Still, the initiative to calm the situation through mediation between the two nuclear-armed countries does not seem to be enough.

The word “reform” is short, but its meaning and significance are immense and multifaceted. According to the Oxford and Cambridge dictionaries, it means: “to make an improvement, especially by changing a person's behaviour or the structure of something.”

Ukraine war: Behind the scene and Trump's triumph

As soon as the contentious meeting ended, White House staff bluntly told President Zelensky, "Mr. President, you should leave now." There was no dinner! Without any formalities, Zelensky quickly left the White House and headed for Europe. Upon arrival, he immediately met with the British Prime Minister, and Britain extended him an overwhelmingly warm welcome. King Charles III received him at the Sandringham House salon in Norfolk and held discussions with him for nearly an hour. Through this warmth, Britain effectively sent a message to the United States that not only the British government but also the King himself fully supports Zelenskyy and Ukraine.

Is Trump’s aggression real or just a political bluff?

Donald Trump took office as the President of the United States on January 20. In just a short period, he has made numerous orders and expressed intentions to make several decisions that have shocked many worldwide. He has been issuing threats and making bold statements. Already, he has taken so many actions that many consider unusual. No US president in recent history has taken so many significant steps right after taking office, nor has any president threatened other countries in this way. Some critics have even compared him to Adolf Hitler, calling him an extreme nationalist. Among his most controversial decisions are taking control of the war-torn Gaza Strip and relocating its residents, making Canada the 51st US state (often referring to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as 'Governor'), imposing high tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, shut down USAID, deporting illegal immigrants from the US, attempting to acquire Greenland from Denmark, reclaiming control over the Panama Canal, offering military aid to Ukraine in exchange for mineral resources, and restrict access to intelligence information for former President Biden, among many other actions.
