Media is reporting on this all of a sudden and I’m a bit out of the loop. What’s happening?

    Seems that is a likely scenario at this point. The timing is very notable here given US trade war with China, and the fact that Pakistan is an important part of BRI.

        BRI refers to the Belt and Road Initiative, not BRICS. Pakistan is important to the BRI due to ports such as Gwadar being means of accessing the Indian Ocean and the Strait of Hormuz for China without passing through the Strait of Malacca.

        • Oh, you’re right. My bad. I thought they were referring to BRICS, isn’t the first time that happened to me. I feel like Belt and Road should be called BR or B&R or something, I always get confused.

          Pakistan being an important member of Belt and Road while India is a founding member of BRICS and all of this happening right now as Trump is trying to fuck with China while having hands in Pakistan just really makes me even more a believer in this being some false flag. If we don’t die in nuclear hellfire then we’ll find out in 50 years, I guess.
