Reminder for folks who might be living through their first South Asian crisis: there’ll be a tremendous amount of disinfo, claims of targets being hit/not hit, and it’ll take a while to sort through what actually happened. In 2019, it took us about 3-4 days after the strikes to get a clear sense.

now up to 28 dead; a massacre. major crisis brewing - likely pressure on India to hit Pakistan like in 2019 after Pulwama.

Indian accounts plugged into BJP on other site saying possibly ~25 dead. very very much TBD, but targeting of tourists, possible death toll, Vance visit, relative calm prior all suggest a potential crisis moment:

Potentially big news coming out of Kashmir:

Yes, a crucial moment. Especially given active authoritarian learning. Today's moment had some prep work though.

1. Multiple court cases used to delegitimize İmamoğlu AND test public response
2. 150+ pro-Kurdish mayors replaced/jailed

In advance of Pakistan's elections tomorrow, I asked four of the sharpest Pakistan watchers to lend me their expertise. Thanks to Sarah Khan, Zoha Waseem, Yasser Kureshi, and Asfandyar Mir for helping me prepare for tomorrow's results and drama. goodauthority.org/news/pakista...
