US neutralises Pakistan's entire nuclear arsenal - on TV

.
WASHINGTON: The United States has succeeded in defanging a toxic Pakistan by neutralising its entire nuclear arsenal - on television.

In yet another American TV series that will expectedly drive Islamabad ballistic, Pakistan is portrayed as a dangerous, unstable, failed country, with the United States having to keep a constant watch on its nuclear arsenal as the country spirals into an abyss - not very different from what many analysts discuss in real life.

But in keeping with the general belief that Washington has contingency plans to take over or neutralise its nuclear weapons, the TV drama 'Madam Secretary' - whose fans include Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton - pushes the envelop further in a recent episode titled 'Render Safe.'

Naturally, the plot is not without drama and complications. The US plan is to send commandos to a dozen bunkers in the north where the bombs are stored, while Russia takes care of five in southern Pakistan. Right as they put the plan in motion, the Russians bail out, telling the Americans they are backing the foreign minister who wants to take over the country.

Left to deal with the situation themselves, the Americans manage to neutralise most of the arsenal but a few bombs have been spirited away by a terrorist group Hizb al-Shahid. But the terrorists don't have access codes to the bombs and they have to be rewired by a rogue scientist - naturally, a Russian renegade. Of course, the Chinese are also in the mix - resentful of the US attacking Pakistan but also offering to "help."

The TV drama is the latest amid a raft of western entertainment that shows up Pakistan as a terrorist-infested country with extremists having a free run amid an inept and divided civilian leadership and military.

The portrayal infuriates Pakistan, which believes it is unfair and denigrates the country, although the reality is that many terrorist attacks against western interests - from London to New York to California - have Pakistani origins or connections.

After Pakistan was shown as a terrorist hellhole in the hit TV series 'Homeland' in its fourth season in 2014, a Pakistani official, hinting at blowback it not payback, moaned that "Maligning a country that has been a close partner and ally of the US... is a disservice not only to the security interests of the US but also to the people of the US."

Since then, ties between the two countries have unraveled further with unnamed US officials recently suggesting that the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI poisoned the CIA's Islamabad chief to retaliate among other things for the Abbbottabad raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

The entertainment world has taken much of the material from real world incidents or playbook. For instance, the "Render Safe" programme to neutralise Pakistan's nuclear arsenal is said to be taken from Washington's actual contingency plans under the same title.

A Homeland episode where Pakistani terrorists seize the US Embassy in Islamabad traces its origins to 1979 when the US Embassy was indeed overrun by extremists.

Stupid delusions but one thing is clear. Pakistan is being portrayed as new villain in many USA shows. They are doing quite often now

hey, don't kill the messenger just because the guy has an Indian/Hindu name, it's hollywood that's trolling Pakistan here :p:
It was for a reason "expected" I just pointed out from whom it was expected. Have a good day.
They are butthurt that why US is showing thame as what they actually think of themselves
LOL, why not complain to daddy USA, why bash India
You're the one making news out of this. I didn't even know this show existed.
 
. .
So now everyone in US will atleast see the real face of PAKISTAN

Thank you, I already know you wears green glasses, so no point arguing with you
With any of us, You may leave.
India is a society that is going downhill while we are learning from the past and correcting our mistakes. lynched anyone recently, or raped anyone recently.... Murdered someone or forced someone to convert recently, or talked about dividing our nation in 4 maybe. You have no morale authority to preach to Pakistan, first fix the hell hole you live in then go talk to other nations, maybe feed some of those poor people also while you are at it.
We as a nation are at .pk platform, and are relaxed enough that you can come and rant here. Go look at your excuses for forums, and when you have done that thank us for letting you come and speak and spew all types of nonsense at us.

And you shouldn't try to paint everything wearing saffron goggles.....Thank you.
He would be blinded by the real world, let him keep them on....

USA is not the only one who cannot tolerate a nuclear Pakistan. Israel and India follow closely behind USA.

There was a reason of attack on any country that USA wishes. The reason is WMD or dictatorship toppling etc.
Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan have all been invaded for different reasons.


Ravi Rikhye, an indian school teacher who thinks he is a military strategist wrote a book "the 4th Round", in which Indian SF attacked Pakistan nuclear installations in Kahuta by flying in a chopper which was flying very low on GT road Pakistan. This was in 1984.

Israel and India planned to attack KRL in 1985. IAF made a mock up of the area and practiced attacks using F-16 and F-15 from Indian air bases.Again the threat came up in 1998 when Pakistan was about to go nuclear.

A GIJOE movie of 2013 also boasts same type of attack.

Pakistan has faced embargos and sanctions for going nuclear in 1980's end and after 1998. Dr Abdul Qadeer and North Korean connection made the threat stronger and validated and this went against Pakistan interests.

Considering Pakistan portrayed in Media, it will always be some XYZ extremist organization who has taken control of Nukes and now wants to destroy the world ! In many contexts this will show that Govt of Pakistan is also a victim and now will ask the elite forces of NATO to drop in and save the day.

The equation doesnt fit as USA wants because there is a big hurdle in the way, The Pakistan Army. All the nuclear assets are under PA control and no matter how hard the corrupt civilian Govt has tried to get access, PA didnt allow them.

The war in NWA and FATA has brought destruction and loss of power of these extremist groups and this war and its operations went into Pakistan's favour. If the amount of aid in terms of MRAPs and other equipment is seen, it has declined in past few years. Declined because Pakistan is winning the war and the extremist groups are becoming weaker day by day and the USA point of extremist groups taking over nuclear installations is getting nullified.

If 8 F-16's are required to kill more extremist groups then just hand them over, why is so much drama going on. USA knows PAF uses F-16's against extremists in NWA and FATA. Infact PAF has used F-16's excellently and utilized these machines to their best capabilities against extremists.

Pakistan is still fighting this war and now this war is for a safer CPEC also. Pakistan has its armed forces and ISI protecting its borders.

Reality is very different from movies and TV shows. In reality Pakistan enemies are eating dust while in these TV shows everybody can eat popcorns.

First thing first.... Thank you for your kind suggestion. I will ok
Now about your rants about my country going downwards is as laughable as your advice above
Perhaps you people are so much adapt to your "social harmony" that every thing seems just fine to you
If my country is hell hole, you should better care about yours cause picture is definitely bleaker for yours too
And please do tell be about the things you said above, cause it's beyond hilarious
You people stopped lynching since when???
Rape?? Rape is not even an offence in your country in right way cause it can not be proved in majority cases according to your country laws
And whom are you going to convert?? Ahmadis? Shias?
And finally you want me to thank you for letting me speak here, Lol. That's some think tank stuff:lol:
But I respectfully deny your suggestions, thanks
And your quote applies to you beautifully
Btw all this ranting started from your people
Why bring Indians into this??

The difference, we know we have issues and we do not go around telling you about them in every thread or attacking your nation at every chance we get or we are not obsessed with you.
And our nation is much better of, because our trajectory is up while yours is down, we are moving out of issues which you seem to be developing. Extremist leaders and frenzied crowds are the new India.

So both nations have issues, yet one is obsessed with the other.. Finally, we are making headway. You have real issues to address but you rather think about Pakistan and focus all your attention on us. Fix your nation and leave us alone to fix ours. Go control your politicians before you want us to control what our civilians say, go control your Akhand Bharat nonsense or accept whatever we say also. Either be perfect or stop criticising other nations for their radical views.

1)We too know we have problem. It's your people who post most of threads about social issues here not us.
2)lol,its like Yuganda has better economy than USA because one is growing faster while other is stagnant
Extremists were always there in India, so you are wrong, it's just now a days media is highlighting them more and may I call demonizing unreasonably
Don't you deny that there were more several riots in past compared to present
It's some butthurt trying to tackle their existential threat ie development and prosperity of common public
3) No one here obsessed with social conditions of Pakistan
It's just few few morons on both sides of border. Infact you can read on such post relating Tejas to Go mutra posted by a moron from your side. So you can guess which side has higher density
Even this article is about an American drama relating Pakistan. Why bring India here??
4)we are not interfering in you're internal matter. How can we?? We are just expressing our thought that's all we can do here
What do you think what we are...... Spies?? Terrorists???
And yes we are fixing our nation since long, that's why we are in better position compared to past. Hope you people do the same instead of threatening every now and then to Nuke us or any other
 
.
first of all, -.-
Secondly, when you say someone is wearing green glasses, you are saying that like it is something wrong.... that is not something I am okay with... You want to say something negative, fix yourself first and take off your blinders....
1)We too know we have problem. It's your people who post most of threads about social issues here not us.
surprisingly many have Indian newspapers which have an obsession with anything Pakistani
2)lol,its like Yuganda has better economy than USA because one is growing faster while other is stagnant
As much as you want to consider yourself a super power, you are no where near that. You have a strong economy for a few years now, and you act like you have fixed all your issues. Get your egos fixed, and then post. India is getting radicalised very quickly, under this new government, but glad to know that it is been happening for sometime now and the media is covering it more now. So lynching, beef bans etc are common. you complain about the strict and wrong laws of different countries, but at least they do not believe in street justice.
You complain about extremist talk from our tv anchors while elected officials talk in India take part in talks about dividing Pakistan, destroying Pakistan, waging war on Pakistan. You talk about your extremist views of Akhand Bharat like it is okay, then accept other radical views from other countries also, and improve your own security and stop bitching about war and attacking us. Accept our extremist views also quietly or first fix your nation before you talk about ours. You are so much better then us, prove it by fixing all your problems but till then do not talk down at us or like there is any semblance of perfection in India.
Even this article is about an American drama relating Pakistan. Why bring India here??
The tone used by the Indian editor and writer is a reflection of the mindset found there. The simple use of these words can tell you what the reader is expected to believe, what the feelings are... Good journalism deserves real answers, crap like this and we will bring in the writer and his crappy mentality and the rag that it is printed on.... The media of yours can not stop spewing hate against us, so excuse us if we do not bow down and take it quietly...

After Pakistan was shown as a terrorist hellhole in the hit TV series 'Homeland' in its fourth season in 2014, a Pakistani official, hinting at blowback it not payback, moaned that "Maligning a country that has been a close partner and ally of the US... is a disservice not only to the security interests of the US but also to the people of the US.

Also this Render Safe nonsense is another thing that one can not confirm, but it is there just to add some imputes into the thought... Instead of spending time here, Go ask them to write decent balanced pieces.
Since then, ties between the two countries have unraveled further with unnamed US officials recently suggesting that the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI poisoned the CIA's Islamabad chief to retaliate among other things for the Abbbottabad raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
This again has no basis in this news report, unless it is written just to bring everything negative and throw it in one place. Sorry if you are not used to dissecting news and swallowing it whole, but maybe with time you learn something about how to condition minds to hate....

4)we are not interfering in you're internal matter. How can we?? We are just expressing our thought that's all we can do here
Ever do that positively, go look at senior posters from our side and look at your side... Bar a few on this forum, all the Indians look for is to bad mouth us, and we do know who likes the extremist Pakistani hating views. Maybe try doing that less....

And yes we are fixing our nation since long, that's why we are in better position compared to past. Hope you people do the same instead of threatening every now and then to Nuke us or any other
that is funny coming from you guys who threaten war... War is bad... keep that stand... not war which India benefits or can win with numbers is okay, but the ones it loses are bad. WAR is bad... keep repeating that till it sinks in... War is bad...
