    Trying to curry favor so they can move into what's left of Iran and take control of its people... don't fall for this subversion. They would love for Trump to give them his tacit approval to "rebuild" Iran.

    Pretty sure Russia is about to nominate him also ...... for his part in allowing Russia to ensure that in Ukraine there is not peace.

    I can see why the Pakistani government would appreciate the guy having masked men pull people off the street and throwing them into vans or sending people convicted of no crime to prison for indefinite periods where they could be tortured. It is a common interest.

    The motivation for doing that is Pakistan knows that Trump’s purported engagement in the conflict and how he put the two parties was deeply offensive to India.

    https://www.wsj.com/opinion/will-tr...hJt4QYEMyEHqGfTybHsOHyJRoT3k283FglELVJIEexw==

    The American response to the April 22 Kashmir terror attack and the ensuing border hostilities between India and Pakistan made everything harder. Indian officials kept their cool, but politicians in all parties, as well as the broader public, were offended by the American response. Pakistan is a major supporter and funder of radical jihadist terror, and Indians wanted more from America than statements that both sides should calm down. Mr. Trump’s claims on Truth Social to have essentially mediated the dispute embarrassed the Indian government. Many Indians feel the U.S. is returning to the old days of “hyphenation,” when India wasn’t seen in America as a great power on its own but as half of the troublesome India-Pakistan rivalry.

    India wants to be treated as a great power, and public opinion is keenly sensitive to any slights, real or perceived. The treatment of India vis-à-vis Pakistan is a hot button. Despite its nuclear weapons, Pakistan is a second- or even third-tier power marked by serial and escalating economic and political failures. India is on a different trajectory, and Indian public opinion wants this success to be recognized.

    Team Trump can do better. Alienating the most important world power that viewed his return to office favorably isn’t in Mr. Trump’s best interest. Needlessly needling an important international partner won’t make America great again.

    You truly do enlighten us with the extraordinarily newsworthy articles that you are constantly posting on here. In this case, it was determined quite a while ago that Trump had absolutely nothing to do with the resolution of the conflict between India and Pakistan. However, Pakistan, being aware of Trump‘s insanely narcissistic personality, is attempting to curry favor with him by nominating him for an undeserved Nobel Peace Prize. Nevertheless, thanks for posting the article.
