Pakistan’s information warfare has become so intense that some officials of the Russian government and even diplomats had to clarify that Russia and Pakistan did not sign a deal of 2.6 billion dollars. It did not happen suddenly that Russia and Pakistan are going to enhance their ties. You can see the article here. Russia has rubbished all the reports. These reports started from Pakistan. I will tell you now. You people will also laugh after seeing where this news started. But for now Russia is saying here that all these are fake reports that our relations with Pakistan have suddenly improved and whoever is spreading this news today, primarily Pakistani journalists want to damage Russia’s relationship with India. This is not only Indian news outlets. Here you will see that Sputnik India is a news outlet of Sputnik Russia.
Its Indian arm has also said this in fact check. No mega deal has been confirmed between Russia and Pakistan because what happened here is a comedy. A Pakistani journalist published a fake news which went viral and someone published it in India also that Putin said India Russia signed a big deal with Pakistan and this deal of 2.6 billion dollars has been signed. So here the Russian media also had to say that look, there are no sources here as to how this has happened.
The conversation must have taken place about an old closed factory in Pakistan which has to repay its debts of 2015. So if China repays some of the debts then it is possible that some things can be explored further. Apart from this, no deal of billion dollars has been signed here. And below you will see that the Russian media has also given a hint as to where this news started from. These people say that this news which by the way you will be able to see today, even senior Russian government officials are debunking it. It is being said that this is an exaggerated news that the relations between Russia and Pakistan have reached the next level. Whoever has spread this news wants to derail the relationship for sensational reasons.
Pakistani Information Warfare Tactics, information warfare involving India, Pakistan, and Russia.
Recently, the way Brahmos missile has caused devastation in Pakistan, the action taken by S400 missile defense system, I will not be surprised that now this information warfare gang of Pakistan, their next target will be the relations between India and Russia. These people will publish any absurd article, which will create a doubt in the mind of Indians whether to trust Russia or not.
Now, where did this story start from? Let me show you this. Because now you will see that Russian media is hinting that this news was first published by Nikai Asia. A news outlet that has stopped reporting in Russia since 2022. Now, I will show you the first time this article was published. Here you will be able to see. This is the article about which Russian media has hinted. This article was published four days ago. You will read its headline. It is written here that Russia and Pakistan will rebuild a steel plant which USSR operated till 1992. Now this article has been written by Adnan Amir. He is a journalist from Islamabad and he has written a lot about Russia saying that it will build a modern steel plant in Pakistan and this will take the relations between the two countries to the next level. Again, as I told you, this is not confirmed news at all. Someone published it, then someone else published it. Then it started circulating in India that look, a blunder has happened. Russia has slipped out of hand. Pakistan has also become pro-Pakistan. And before believing all this, just Google this man Adnan Amir. I will again tell you that whatever I say, do your own research on it .
But for now, if we Google Adnan Aamir, he will be seen here, contributing to Nikai Asia journalist, he is a journalist from Islamabad. I click on his account here and his account is held in India. Why? Because he must be spreading fake news and must be a part of propaganda. So the Indian government has banned his account here as well. So we started spreading the news here as if Russia is doing something big here.
So again I have to say here that Pakistan is very sharp in the game of information warfare. Their preparation is amazing. Whoever is there, I mean, at the top level, I don’t know who it is. It must be some young man. From the Indian side, I feel that whoever is there is not that sharp. Our information warfare game is very slow. It seems that they have taken two steps. Then we are defending that no, it is not like that. We are far behind in the information warfare department. I will definitely admit this. But I have to say this here as well.
Trump, crypto and Pakistan: An unusual political move, Pakistan is also earning money form information warfare
Pakistan has recently taken amazing steps. Not only in information warfare but even in getting Donald Trump on its side. I will explain to you how. Look, in USA, lobbying is not legal. There are lobbying arms there. For example, suppose it is you. You have a country. You have to convey your message to Donald Trump. How will you convey it? Then there will be a man in USA who will say that he had worked with Donald Trump for some time.
Today I have information. I will do lobbying for you. You give me money every month. Whatever you want to convey, like your country needs to be recognized. Your country needs funds. Reduce tariffs etc. Whatever your grievances are, I can convey them to Trump. So they are called lobbyists. India also recently hired a lobbyist. His name is Jason Miller. He is Donald Trump’s senior advisor. He is a communication strategist. He is also a very expensive man. It was not possible for Pakistan to afford him. But Pakistan recruited Donald Trump’s former ex-bodyguard who was very close to Trump’s sheller. This is also coming in Pakistan’s budget and Pakistan thinks that they will get their work done through this. Because look, Pakistan is trying to woo Trump through Bitcoin today. Recently Pakistan announced that they will create a Bitcoin reserve. However, crypto transactions are still banned in Pakistan. But for the very rich people, the multi-millionaires, it seems that they are going to make separate rules. These people will create their own crypto reserve. Trump likes this very much because Trump and his entire family are investing a lot of money in crypto today. Trump also has his own crypto coin and under Trump, literally USA has also created a bitcoin treasury. When Pakistan announced that it will do all this in crypto and Pakistan has also acquired 60% stake in a crypto currency company owned by Donald Trump’s sons. This money has also gone to Donald Trump’s family. Seeing all this, Donald Trump is very happy. And that is why you must have seen that Trump is repeatedly saying that I really like Pakistan. There are very talented people there. So honestly, it is quite strange that these people are allowing all these things in the US. I do not want to use the word corruption, but the smell of it is coming that it is very strange. The way Trump and his family are investing in crypto here. Pakistan is also earning money for them. It is very shady. But through this you will be able to see Pakistan’s strategy. It is very advanced.
These people know that they have less resources. Even with less resources, they do this type of information warfare. If Trump has to be pleased, then he has to be pleased with crypto. Pakistan is doing everything in all these ways.
Historical Context of Russia-Pakistan Relations regarding this mill
as far as the steel mill is concerned, can Russia build a steel mill in Pakistan? Look, first of all, no such deal has been done yet as I told you. Secondly, the India-Pakistan 1971 war was a very big event. With the support of the USSR, we literally divided Pakistan into two parts. But still, look, business is different. Even after that, the USSR built a steel factory here in Pakistan in 1973. It was a big factory. Many people got employment from this and this factory ran for many years. Now this does not mean that the people of Pakistan can also say that the country which helped India is building a steel mill in our country, they saw an opportunity in our country and built it in 1973.
Economic Stagnation in Pakistan
Then the economy of Pakistan, as you all know, is not a hidden story. It is not growing much. There is no demand here. You know, you can even see their stock market. Its value is less than Nepal. Which says a lot. I don’t think people are able to understand how big a deal it is. The population of Pakistan is around 22-23 crores. The value of their stock market is even lower than the Nepali stock market. It is absolutely shocking.
So obviously at one time due to problems due to demand, the Russian Federation stopped working on this steel mill. This steel mill shut down on its own. Now the talk is that some reconstruction will be done on this old steel mill. This steel mill may be revived again and Russia is not going to do anything in that too, so again I will have to say this here. First of all, nothing has been confirmed that they will do something with this old steel mill. Russia is waiting for China to give some bailout package to Pakistan. China may provide some money etc. If it does, then in that case Russia may think of reviving this steel mill here. Otherwise, for now, there has been no discussion on this.
I have been hearing about this news for a long time. Every three-four years articles are published on this. Then the matter cools down. There is no further progress. So without China’s intervention, nothing is going to happen here and it will take time. I don’t think we will see much progress in this in the near future. As for the rest, if something happens in the future, then along with the actual news.
Conclusion
I know you guys will be very interested in this topic. I have seen that many people have started believing this fake news. Information warfare is very strong. Just think, Pakistanis started doing this at the same time. They started creating fake news. When India Russia relations are getting revived. Getting strong again. And PM Modi and Vladimir Putin will also have a summit this year. So very fascinating. I honestly believe that in today’s time Pakistani writer proof articles should be shown in India. Something should be done. I don’t know firewall etc. I am not that much of an expert in that matter. But we need to find a solution. Otherwise Pakistanis will keep writing these types of fake news articles. And unfortunately Indians will also believe it in some cases.
