The National Interest, it appears, has been suffering from Pakistnophobia these past few days. There has been a sudden increase in anti-Pakistan articles being shared and published on their website as well as their Facebook page, 4 anti-Pakistan articles were shared in just one hour:
Pakistan Is No Friend to America
How Pakistan Warped into a Geopolitical Monster
To Break the Stalemate in Afghanistan, America Must Break Pakistan’s Pathologies
Defeat is an Orphan: How Pakistan Lost the Great South Asian War

It looks as if the international media will suffer from a severe case of constipation if they don't write or speak against Pakistan at least once a month.

We have think tanks in Pakistan too, wonder what they are doing? Sleeping I suppose. This campaign against Pakistan should and must be countered. I would like to urge all the experienced and senior Pakistani members here to pitch in, as obviously our think tanks wont, and neither will our foreign office follow a proper policy to clean up Pakistan's image.

Why are you reading national interest in the first place? It's a shitty website, pushing their own personal agenda. Just read their "about us" page, and that should be enough to push you away from them. They pretty much wear their bias on their sleeves.
 
It always was. I have already pointed out this few months back. Most of the topics are anti-Pakistan and pro-India. Posters here should sighting that website moving forward.
 
Just gone through their site. Such a waste of time. Total clickbait.

"Robert M. Cassidy is a military professor at the U.S. Naval War College. "

just think about american students and their negative thoughts about pak...
there should not be a first or last place if you are really belong to think tank :enjoy: :pakistan:
 
The National Interest is an American conservative site, conservatives don't like Muslims in general. I've read some of their articles before, they literally change facts in order to fit them to their narrative. The best thing to do is to ignore these idiots.
 
TBH I'm hearing about this website for the very first time but that is not exactly how I will gauge their popularity and impact. However I read their "About us" page and they are the followers of Henry Kissinger, an ardent supporter of Israel and a zionist Jew. He has been anti-Pakistan since long and this basturd threatened ZAB over the issue of nuclear program with these words "We will make a horrible example of you".

About The National Interest

Over almost three decades, The National Interest, founded in 1985 by Irving Kristol and Owen Harries, has displayed a remarkable consistency in its approach to foreign policy. It is not, as the inaugural statement declared, about world affairs. It is about American interests. It is guided by the belief that nothing will enhance those interests as effectively as the approach to foreign affairs commonly known as realism—a school of thought traditionally associated with such thinkers and statesmen as Disraeli, Bismarck, and Henry Kissinger. Though the shape of international politics has changed considerably in the past few decades, the magazine’s fundamental tenets have not. Instead, they have proven enduring and, indeed, appear to be enjoying something of a popular renaissance.

Until recently, however, liberal hawks and neoconservatives have successfully attempted to stifle debate by arguing that prudence about the use of American power abroad was imprudent—by, in short, disparaging realism as a moribund doctrine that is wholly inimical to American idealism. This has been disastrous. After the Bush administration’s failure to discover weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, it became abundantly clear that the lack of a debate in Washington was part and parcel of a larger foreign policy failing, which was the refusal to ponder the larger implications and consequences of the promiscuous use of American power abroad. A reflexive substitution of military might for diplomacy, of bellicose rhetoric for attainable aspirations, dramatically weakened rather than strengthened America’s standing around the globe. But today, as Russia, China, and Iran assess and act upon their own perceived national interests, Washington must attempt to understand those nations as they understand themselves.

This is why a return to realism has seldom been more imperative. It is notions of interdependence, the end of sovereignty, and the inutility of power that have all proven wanting in the past decade. International relations was not reinvented in 1989. While it may be an old foreign policy concept, the notion of a national interest is not an antiquarian one. On the contrary, it has never possessed more relevance than now.

What actually constitutes true realism is, of course, an appropriate source of controversy. And so, on both its web site and in its print edition, The National Interest seeks to promote, as far as possible, a fresh debate about the course of American foreign policy by featuring a variety of leading authors from government, journalism, and academia, many of whom may at times disagree with each other. But it is only out of such disagreements that dogmas can be dispelled and clarity about America’s proper aims achieved. By contributing a vital stimulus towards fashioning a new foreign policy consensus based on civil and enlightened contention, The National Interest seeks to serve this country’s wider national interest.

Well if the American president cab be paid and bought by the Russians... why can't Robert M. Cassidy be paid and bought by the Indians??
 
A few members are suggesting that this media outlet should simply be ignored; this is the kind of thinking that allows such a negative image of Pakistan to be portrayed and accepted around certain parts of the world. In order to avoid this in the future, Pakistani media outlets should engage in counter campaigns to minimise and potentially reverse any anti-Pakistan sentiments.

A good place to start is this very website as we are all aware of its large following and therefore wide outreach. PDF think tanks should post more articles that critique the strategies being played by our regional rivals while making mention of human rights abuses committed by them. Simultaneously, PDF members should frequently post about economic and social progression within Pakistan.

that is exactly what I am trying to say. There should be someone who speaks on behalf of Pakistan on such forums. ignoring it will do achieve nothing whatsoever. That is why I urge the senior and more knowledgeable Pakistani members to step forward to counter them.
