Imran Khan no more Prime Minister of Pakistan

Imran Khan, the prime minister of Pakistan for almost four years has been de-seated as a result of no confidence motion by the combined opposition of the country.

His ouster makes him the first Pakistani prime minister to be ousted by a no-confidence vote. The combined opposition parties mustered 174 votes in the 342-member house in support of the no-confidence motion, the house speaker said, making it a majority vote.





The people of Pakistan speculate that his "Absolutely Not" answer to USA and his visit to Russia could have been the reason of his ouster as otherwise he was the most honest and upright prime minster of present times.

Russian invasion of Ukraine: War enters 3rd day


The war between Russia and Ukraine has entered in its 3rd day with tall claims from both sides. Russian forces are around Kyiv and fighting is reported inside the city.

Reports of artillery blasts heard in Kyiv as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warns of impending Russian assault on the capital. The residents of capital have been supplied with weapons for self defense and defense of the city.





The assault, anticipated for weeks by the West, amounts to Europe’s most significant ground conflict since World War II. It is unclear how much or little Russian forces have seized or the extent of the casualties.

Earlier today, the premier laid a floral wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Moscow as a tribute to the Russian casualties of World War 2 as he continued his official visit to the country.

Pakistan shows interest in Russian Weapons

Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has hinted at looking for Russian arsenal for its defence needs. The recent meeting of Pakistan's prime minister and the Russian President Putin during the recently concluded Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit in Kyrgyzstan.

For long Pakistan has been dependent on Western, specially the American weapons but the latest shift in interests by US compels Pakistan to start exploring other arms markets.Specially so for the reason that USA is notorious to blocks spares or even ordered bookings that have negative effects on maintainer of armies. Pakistan is in dire need of attack helicopters as its aging fleet of American Cobra helicopters is almost sighing its last.

Russia has much to offer to Pakistan. Almost all weapons systems – land or sea-based – could be used by Pakistani armed forces, but the likeliest candidates are tanks, helicopters, specially Mi-35 gunship helicopters, and air defense systems, explains military expert and retired colonel Mikhail Khodarenok..





There’s plenty of reasons why Russia may want to offer its state-of-the-art armaments to Pakistan, he stated. Pakistan is an emerging arms trade market, and its demand for Russian weapons may amount to a whopping $8-9 billion in coming years.

China and Russia did not support India on its accusation of Pakistan as Terror State at BRICS - a big disappointment for India


The recently concluded 9-member BRICS conference at Goa, India has brought nothing to India, rather it rebuffed Indian Prime Minister's effort to drag in Pakistan and ratify it as a terrorist state by Russian and Chinese leaders.

Indian Express writes:
The Prime Minister proclaimed, in his closing statement at the summit, that BRICS member-states were “agreed that those who nurture, shelter, support and sponsor such forces of violence and terror are as much a threat to us as the terrorists themselves”. The BRICS 109 paragraph summit declaration, however, doesn’t have a single sentence reflecting this purported consensus—not even the words “nurture”, “shelter” or “sponsor”.





Thus the Indian PM Modi has just been delivered an unhappy lesson at the  BRICS summit in Goa: though nine-tenths of geopolitics is about bluff, the critical one-tenth is about knowing when to fold, writes Praveen Swami of Indian Express.

Russia accuses US of cover-up over ISIS oil smuggling to Turkey

Yahoo News reports quoting Russia's defence ministry on Saturday that the United States is turning a blind eye to the trafficking of oil into Turkey from Syrian areas under Islamic State control, after Washington called the amounts involved insignificant.

"When US officials say they don't see how the terrorists' oil is smuggled to Turkey... it smells badly of a desire to cover up these acts," the report adds.





It may be added for the information that US special envoy and coordinator for international energy affairs, Amos Hochstein, on Friday said the amount of oil smuggled into Turkey from areas of Syria controlled by the Islamic State group is "of no significance from a volume perspective -- both volume of oil and volume of revenue".

The Russian information centre in Goa, India said that a revised travel advisory had been issued following the blacklisting of Egypt and Turkey. "Both India and Goa were not considered as good destinations for Russian travellers," said Ekaterina Belyakova, head of the Russian information centre.





For India and Goa, the move is likely to affect tourism hugely as the coastal state of Goa is considered to be one of the favourite tourist spots for Russian travellers.

Russia blames CIA - MOSAD and MI-6 for Paris massacre


In a stunning revelation, Russia has blamed the Paris massacre was a “ritual massacre” and “orchestrated/directed” by a secretive “element/cabal” of Freemasons (Masonic/Masons) holding high positions of power within the United States CIA, the French General Directorate for External Security (DGSE), the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS/MI6), Israel’s Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) and the Vatican.

According to this report, the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) first alerted the MoD to the potential of this “Friday the 13th” plot a fortnight ago (27 October) after a highly secretive meeting was held in Washington D.C. attended by the Director of the CIA, John Brennan, DGSE Director Bernard Bajolet, former MI6 Chief John Sawers and former DMI Chief, and current Israeli National Security Advisor, Yaacov Amidror.





Especially alarming about the 27 October meeting of these spy chiefs in Washington D.C., this report continues, was DGSE Director Bernard Bajolet stating afterwards that the Federation protected nation of Syria “will be different from what had been established after World War II”—which in turn led the GRU to warn the MoD that the Freemasons “Master Magic numbers of 11 and 13” were now in play.

The Russian reports says that the true motives of this Friday the 13th massacre will, likewise, be revealed for what it truly is—and which President Obama himself agrees with as just the day prior to this attack, 12 October, he rightfully noted that the Islamic State was not getting stronger and has now been contained.

Could Russia be making giant nuclear torpedo


A leaked news of a possible making of a giant nuclear torpedo by Russia has stirred the world.

The leaked news is attributed to a photo of one general was seen studying a diagram of the "devastating" torpedo system (photo above). The leak happened during a report on state-run Channel One about President Vladimir Putin meeting military chiefs in the city of Sochi.

Launched by a submarine, it would create "wide areas of radioactive contamination", the document says.





Although the Kremlin says secret plans for a Russian long-range nuclear torpedo - called "Status-6" - should not have appeared on Russian TV news, but the Russian government newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta has published details of the weapon, without showing the diagram, and speculated about a super-radioactive cobalt device. Experts thus believe that the leak may not have been accidental.
