Five countries' premier level procession is going to be held in Kuala Lumpur. According to media sources, firstly it was three countries process but later on, it is converted into five members’ conference. The member countries include Turkey, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Qatar. 

It is unveiled that Mr. Mahathir Muhammad is the prominent architect of this conference. According to Mr. Mahathir, a remarkable meeting was organized with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan the president of Turkey, and The Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan during his visit to New York in the previous month, and a scheme was formulated to organize the said conference. 

Mr. Mahathir also affirmed that Pakistan, Turkey, and Malaysia will soon start a joint TV channel that will start its broadcast at a time from the said three countries.

A Report Declares USA Losing War in Afghanistan

The Washington Post has prepared a report regarding the US security output in the prolonged war in Afghanistan. The said report is consisting of 2000 pages, 600 interviews, and multiple layered questions. It shows that USA officials’ claims about wining war in Afghanistan are deceptive. In fact, Washington lacks an absolute objective likely to be achieved in the bleeding and lingering on two decades of war. Various objectives have been disclosed: sometimes the reshaping of Afghan culture is maintained as the war objective whereas turning Afghanistan into democracy is proclaimed in another remark. Similarly, redistribution of the balance of power among Pakistan, Iran, Russia, and India is also a focused objective that the US administration seeks to achieve.

According to the report, ISIS, Al-Al-Qaida, Warlords, international non-state actors have remained also a puzzle on the pages of US security policy. However, the said war has been badly lost instead of burning trillions of trillions USD.

 Turkey Russia Reviewed Aspirations for S-400

It shows another gesture of security alignment likely to take place in Europe which is at par with the US lead bloc at the continent. As a matter of in-depth reality, the disclosed conclusion of the pact between Ankara and Moscow is another blow to the already strained relations between Turkey and the USA.

 Prior to the deterioration in friendly engagements, Turkey was a level five contributor to the renowned F-35 JSF in its development and production. However, the Turkish tilt towards acquiring air and missile defense system from Russia and the ripening strategic proximity between the two has derailed the atmosphere of trust and closeness between Ankara and Washington.

The regional and extra-extra-regional politics and the respective involvement of the concerned stakeholders are remarkable ardent which does not allow the regional stability and tranquillity to grip their grounds for even a short term span. Therefore, the ongoing incidents and events taking place time and again cannot be ignored and the responsible shoulders of the national prowess are accurately deemed to devise their due mechanisms according to the forthcoming circumstances.

The intense relations between Moscow and Washington DC are worsening day by day. Russia has threatened to detonate nuclear weapons against US forces. The USA has also mobilized its strategic assets against Russia.

Mis-perceptions: Hot spots regarding the USA

The agony of the international system is that it is based on the creeping of misperceptions. In the international system, currently, the USA is still a stakeholder in spite of the prevalence of the challenging scenarios. Today in this brief, I would review the very recent developments that accentuate the consequent misperceptions. 

Actually, one phenomenon relates to the US domestic affairs whereas the remaining three concern with the international engagements which can be viewed as under: 

A. the Portland city is stuffed with the protests rendered by the Afro-American citizens. 

B. Russia dismissed accusations purposed by the USA and UK against Russian Endeavor to test anti-satellite system as propaganda against it.

C. Iran has filed a protest against the USA to the United Nations Organizations that on Syria, US F-15 Fighter sparked panic on an Iranian passenger plane. It holds the right to avert such panic in the future if it takes place again as disclosed by Iran. 

D. China asks the US to shut down the consulate in Chengdu. It is a part of the response that China made in the wake of the US Endeavor to shutter a Chinese mission in the United State of America. It shows the misperception in full swing between the two countries. 

E. Another misperception has improved and turned into optimism as the US body has confessed that Pakistan has ensured its safety and security measures to expunge any threat to the attack on its nuclear assets or accidents whatever to them. 

Accordingly, the misperception that is the reality of the international system is evident.
