People think the US is “picking” Pakistan over India.
Deals for Islamabad. Tariffs on Delhi.
The truth is bigger - and uglier.
In the last Ind–Pak clash, India hit 11 Pakistani bases.
Confirmed by satellite. Precise hits on hangars & runways. Video everywhere.
Pakistan didn’t hit a single Indian base.
Bases are huge, fixed, and easy to hit — far easier than a jet moving at Mach speeds.
Yet the noise? Pakistan says it downed Indian jets. India says the same.
Hard to prove either way.
Reality: India hammered Pakistan hard.
Pakistan ran to Washington and sold itself — again.
Trump sees Pakistan as a distressed property: broke, desperate, willing to give a lot for a little.
The real play isn’t India–Pakistan. It’s China. Pull Pakistan away from Beijing, and Washington scores in the bigger game.
Tariffs on India? That’s Russia.
A message to Moscow: “We’ll even hit your friends.”
Not about morality. Just raw power politics.
South Asia isn’t the game.
It’s the board.
The real contest: US vs. China & Russia.
