The Spin

Establishment-critical narrative

Pakistan stands as the epicenter of global terrorism, harboring U.N.-listed terror groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed while supporting these organizations. The country's military establishment uses these terror networks to wage proxy wars against India, with recent attacks targeting civilians, including the Sikh community.

Pro-establishment narrative

Pakistan has become America's most valuable counter-terrorism partner, earning praise from U.S. Central Command for phenomenal cooperation against ISIS-K and other international threats. Pakistan itself suffers as a victim of terrorism, with over 1,000 killed in 2024 alone, demonstrating shared interests in combating extremist violence.
