US Stopped ‘Nuclear War’ says Trump but ….. something else went wrong.
(Read only if you are interested in knowing the other side of the story on the ceasefire)
So the US had nothing to do with this India/Pak tension right? At least thats what JD Vance claimed when it all began. But then something changed. All of a sudden Trump stepped in to de-escalate the crisis and announced a complete ceasefire with immediate effect resulting in India becoming a global shame and losing all its credibility and hype.
The question is ... what went wrong?? Something triggered the west and this is where I believe two things went wrong for them:
First, China’s military tech went viral.
When pakistan used chinese made PL15 missiles and JF-17 Block III fighter jets to knock down Indian Rafales, chinese defence stocks exploded! Stock of AVIC Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (maker of the JF17 and J10C jets) spiked by 36% in just two days after Operation Sindoor was turned into Cold Tandoor. This is where the global military investors started realizing that china’s weapons just proved themselves on the live battlefield against western supplied tech. This means a direct threat to every US and Israeli military contract globally. This war was not Pakistan VS India only, it was Chinese VS Western war technology too.
Result? the biggest Marketing/PR campaign for chinese weapons came through its very close ally, Pakistan. Basically this war gave a live demo to the world and it worked.
On the other hand, Israel supported India during this conflict and India used Israeli 77 HAROP drones against Pakistan. These drones became part of the battlefield and global headlines. This did not just raise eyebrows but also lit up anti-Israel sentiment across the muslim world especially in Kashmir and Pakistan. It turned an India vs Pakistan war to a “Hindu-Jewish alliance” against Muslims. This combination created a dual threat for the West; china’s military tech suddenly gained global attention and the US could not afford a public erosion of 'Israeli credibility' (this is another story that relates to Abraham Accords agenda lined up).
The second trigger to US was when Pakistan made a move nobody expected. A very smart move...
According to internal sources, top stakeholders inside Pakistan’s war room deliberately leaked one specific meeting trail where it was debated that Israel’s involvement via India gives Pakistan a legitimate reason to escalate directly against Israel if needed. In other words, Pakistan was openly discussing the idea of targeting Israel because it had actively supported India.
*Clarification Update: (Dont confuse escalation/target with attack. It was never about launching an actual attack on Israel but a more direct conflict. It meant Pakistan was preparing to engage or respond if things escalated not that we were about to start dropping bombs!)
Pakistan as a nuclear armed country backed by china and talking about going after Israel (in an open conflict)? That is a red line they are not ready to test. They simply cannot afford it.
The only solution for the US was a quick de-escalation and that is exactly what the US facilitated claiming that the world needs no ‘Nuclear War’.
So what did US do immediately after announcing a ceasefire? While everyone’s focus remained on ceasefire and social media battle, a very important meeting took place in Geneva. Out of no where, US and China sat down for trade talks and within just hours...
1) US Reduced tariffs from 145% to 30%
2) China Reduced tariffs from 125% to 10%
3) $600 billion freeze in trade was reopened.
So now you understand?? All of this happened because of how Pakistan performed in the air and on the ground against India. Pakistan did not just win a war, It reminded the world it never left the table. This is why Pakistan still is a threat to India despite all its chaos, political mismanagement and economic collapse.
