US shift to India : media explosion. Sept. 28 2016

[Arsalan]

Today upon waking, as I ran through news sources, my attention was grabbed
by google results. For the second day in a row, Pakistan was in the left hand
suggestions list and that with nary a terrorist attack or catastrophe in sight.
My exact thought was : -What gives? Well, I did well to check.
​

When shifts occur in people, say behaviour changes, they rarely tell others what the problem is.
When shifts occur in nations, like a newfound preference, they always make a big show about it.
It's called propaganda or communications depending on whether you like it or not but it's important.

Today, Wednesday 28 of September 2016, saw just such a push to lean away from Pakistan ...
by the USA no less. The flurry of articles and opinion pieces is noticeable by its breadth of course
but also by its scope & origin.
In the selection below that I collated for you, you'll find all subjects : terror and water dispute, internal
matters of Pakistan like police and a concerted push to make Narenda Modi a superstar of FA. You'll
be able to note that the one positive bit is from an everyday America journalist about a US pastime
while the most critical are by influential outlets.

Primer : decent Indian news.

Which sets the table for US media.

2 Majors anoint Modi as the new Desi Lancelot :

In both cases, Pakistan is the problem.

The Washington Post voices India's concerns :

... again about bad guy Pakistan, of course.

And the secondary line came in to play ...

... dumb and dirty.

As promised, some things earn you goodwill in the US,

But that's on the alternative media.​

I'll let you judge but I recommend a follow-through. It's by noticing little hiccups of
expression like that for years and decades that one finally decodes power moves.

Am I paranoid and/or calling for a frenzied hair pulling/clothes tearing session? NO!
I only wanted to share the process of identifying changes in an ally's behaviour.
There is no greater trap than over-confidence be it in yourself or in others and trust
misplaced is as an open flank on the battleground.

What can I say : "I prefer a trustable enemy than an undependable friend."
You've been warned, check this thing go and great day to all, Tay.
