Assuming the information is accurate, Washington's narrative regarding the "second airman's Iran extraction", emphasises CIA brilliance, i.e. it gathered intel from agents in the region to figure out where the airman was at & called several US aircraft to fish him out.
If not classified (i.e. unsupported by legal evidence), may Washington explain the necessity of a battlefield strategy towards Tehran, with such an awesome US intelligence network spread across Iran &/or its neighboring countries?
Like the complex choice for a soldier between respecting a legal command & resisting an illegal one, the "human error" defense is not easily applicable to a commander who jeopardizes his countrymen or soldiers:
-May fired US Army Chief Randy George be held responsible for the US pilot reportedly stuck in Iran?
-Given that the comfortable lifestyle of the average American soldier / military brat cannot prepare him/her for the hard conditions in the East; is the US pilot in Iran, e.g. South Asian?
-67% of US citizens demand an immediate end to US wars (on terror) globally, which Washington ignores. The United Nations prioritizes the State over the nation.
-Islamabad has placed all PK military resources at the disposal of Riyadh & Abu Dhabi, who are inflating PK fuel charges past all human endurance. The International Monetary Fund prioritizes the State over sound monetary policy rules.
Do Intergovernmental Organizations pose a threat to human & trade rights, due to void ab initio by-laws?
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)?
