Trade Weaponization - Punishment to Pakistan
In the rugged passes where the mountains of Afghanistan meet the plains of Pakistan, a long-standing trade artery has always flowed: goods, fruits, textiles, vehicles, labour, ambition. But now, this artery has been deliberately constricted, and in doing so the spectre of “trade as a weapon” has re-emerged in full force. For decades, Pakistan has treated its neighbour Afghanistan not solely as an economic partner but also as a zone of leverage. This time, the calculus has taken on sharper edges: the closure of trade routes, suspension of transit agreements, and threats of permanent exclusion.

Patches of reddish soil stretch across the city’s outskirts — the result, experts say, of mass bloodshed.

“My Heart Stayed Calm Through Horror”. Content Warning.
How about a comparison of horror movies to the horror going on in America, lighthearted, I watched a horror movie last night, to my surprise my heart was not racing. I turned on the news about the ice terrorism and the horrors of Whitehouse being gutted so I turned the news off, turned on a horror movie again. I watched five horror films; my heart was pure at 82 beats a minute. I turned on the news again about tear gas sprayed on Halloween party together in a park, with children and knocking down old people, I said fuck it watched another horror film. what a relief to watch The Conjuring again and not the horrifying evil penetrating from the nazis in DC.
