While the 2 elements of a crime are "mens rea" & "actus reus", human justice is actually powerless to judge the former in the absence of legally-admissible evidence of the latter.
Given, there is no legal rebuttal strategy applicable to an accusation of mens rea alone, may an accuser be viewed as malicious & held liable?
In effect, how may Islamabad's allegation against Kabul & New Delhi (of mens rea, i.e. "Fitna") be legally documented &/or scrutinized in a judicial forum anywhere in the world?
Indices like the Dow, S&P, & NASDAQ, were once considered reliable indicators; today, they twitch whenever a bored Washingtonian grunts!
For instance:
Given how sincerely Berlin is trying to compel NATO to follow Washington's lead again & spend cash it doesn't have, on loss-making US wars for "hearts & minds", can any financial strategist deny that the top American, British, Chinese & Japanese multinationals are losing revenue to Russian & Israeli competitors, e.g. in South America & South Asia?
US SecDef Hegseth's Morgan Stanley broker supposedly offered Blackrock a "defense ETF" days before the '26 US-IR war. While the absence of said ETF implies Morgan Stanley & Blackrock were unable to agree upon the T&Cs, this story poses 2 questions:
-As a "multinational Hormuz security force" is unviable, where did Morgan Stanley &/or Blackrock think said ETF's ROI would come from?
-Was Pakistan's ~$20b undocumented offshore wealth (e.g. in UK & US) & ~$10b IMF debt (US HQ), viewed as seed money?
A legal issue regarding burgeoning IMF-Islamabad loan agreements (from 1960 until 2026):
A party runs an international business that offers capital to promising-but-poor investment destinations...while the representatives of said destinations claim to lose the money to offshore financial entities, & repeatedly sign off more collateral for further capital.
Is the transnational capitalist, a co-conspirator with the representatives, against the debtors &/or the offshore financial entities affected?
US President Trump is "good at solving wars", but can't help irritating the investors of South America, Russia, the EU, the Middle East, South Asia...?
Islamabad can't let age-old trade ties continue with Afghanistan &/or India...but could facilitate a US-IR peace treaty?
How will ex-civil servant Arbab Shahzad's invitation to Pakistani Pashtuns/Afghans convince Islamabad to prioritize Pashtun families over US War On Terror aims?
Do negotiators operate via empty titles...or concrete credibility?
Dumas (pere) wrote in "La Reine Margot" that The St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre was actually a plot by Catherine de Medici to kill Henry of Navarre - the future King Henry IV - to prevent Nostradamus' prophecy that he would ascend the throne.
This interpretation illustrates the importance of identifying the underlying reason(s) behind a dispute & any effort(s) to resolve it, e.g.:
Why is Arbab Shahzad (a rather dim-witted retired PK civil servant) supervising an "AF-PK Peace Jirga", on March 31?
Commencing tomorrow (March 29), Islamabad will be the proud host of delegations from Ankara, Riyadh & Cairo, to discuss various "unspecified issues", particularly the US-IR conflict. Rumors are, the venue was altered from Ankara to Islamabad because CDF Munir is President Trump's "Favorite Field Marshal"...but is it fair to accuse Trump &/or Munir, given that, of all the participants in tomorrow's conference, the only government with no official ties to Israel is Islamabad (Riyadh is undecided)?
The latest twist in the Hormuz enshittification is Abu Dhabi's indignant threat of its readiness to wrest control of Hormuz from Tehran...which poses 2 questions:
-Hormuz's bottleneck is 21 nmi/NM/M between Iran & Oman, making it the joint territorial waters of the aforementioned parties; why has Muscat said nothing except to make a nebulous assistance offer to Islamabad?
-What may Abu Dhabi's shifting priorities mean for the Pak Emirates Military Hospital (which is already drowning in red ink)?
The Pentagon has reportedly withheld its new US Troop Deployment Review from European allies...while the White House accuses NATO of betraying the US:
-Could Washington be betting on Berlin to dissipate EU anger, out of respect for prominent German Americans, e.g. President Trump, Peter Thiel, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, etc.?
-To what degree can Berlin fulfil Washington's apparent expectations, given how ongoing US conflicts have dissipated German investments, e.g. in Iran & Afghanistan?
*Washington sent a message requesting talks (via Islamabad) with any/all Hormuz sailor cooperatives (via Tehran), sans Jerusalem / Tel Aviv permission: May Washington's pick of Islamabad as US mailman, discredit the Global Terrorism Index '26 (published by the Institute For Economics & Peace [IEP]), which ranks Pakistan at No. 1?
*11 AF clerics & 11 PK clerics have requested an extension in the (allegedly broken-by-Islamabad) ceasefire: On what financial terms & conditions is said request based?
