This is dangerous times we live. Concerning the clash between Pakistan and India, US state media is claiming the war was ended by reason of US intervention with the US dictator taking responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cvgvr4r5d2qo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>\u201cthe international stage<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, there had been consternation that the tensions would not be de-escalated by the US, despite its diplomatic overtures during India and Pakistan&#8217;s previous Kashmir clashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>US Vice President JD Vance said a potential war would be &#8220;none of our business&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This statement came as no surprise, the Indian government source told the BBC. At that stage, &#8220;it was clear the US didn&#8217;t want to get involved&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of telling the truth about the whole matter, US state media \u2013 by way of the Hill \u2013 needed badly to praise their dear leader by claiming he was the one who brokered the cease fire. What a bunch of BS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe war lasted only three days \u2014 it ended with <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/international\/5302672-did-pakistan-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>President Trump jauntily announcing on TruthSocial<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, \u201cAfter a long night of talks mediated by the United States, I am pleased to announce that India and Pakistan have agreed to a FULL AND IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE. Congratulations to both Countries on using Common Sense and Great Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who knows what other lies are being spun by state media about what is actually happening in the country and around the world. How can we know what tragedies or what victories are credited to the US? Of course, all tragedies will not be the fault of the US and all victories will be awarded them a trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This act of treason by US media is shameful and people need to really do their own research and simply not read US state media websites or newspapers, or watch their propaganda news networks. They have all turned to the dark side of lies and doublespeak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2025\/5\/14\/what-did-india-and-pakistan-gain-and-lose-in-their-military-standoff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>According to Aljazeera<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, \u201cThen, as the world braced for total war between the nuclear-armed neighbours, US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire, which he claimed had been mediated by the United States. Pakistan express gratitude to the US, even as India insisted the decision to halt fighting was made solely by the two neighbours without any third-party intervention.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite either confession, \u201cPakistan and India administer different parts of Kashmir, along with China, which governs two narrow strips. India claims all of Kashmir, while Pakistan claims the part India \u2013 but not Islamabad\u2019s ally China \u2013 administers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funny how China never claims to do any intervention and neither takes false credit for the agreed ceasefire, yet, the US continue their intervention into world affairs when it is convenient for them and uplifts their image on the world stage. The truth is, the US is not a peacekeeping country and never has been. It has turned into a worse authoritarian country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we go with the lies and propaganda that come with state media propping up their Dictator.
