In today’s episode from Blue Newsroom, we cover three major stories shaping politics and security:

Top Story: India vs China military parades

Are military parades real measures of power or just grand spectacles? We analyze India’s 77th Republic Day parade, compare it with China’s Tiananmen displays, and explore what these events really signal to Pakistan, the U.S., and the world. Style or substance—which defines true strength in South Asia?

In the Spotlight: US–Iran tensions

Tensions rise as the U.S. deploys the USS Abraham Lincoln near Iran, sparking fears of conflict. What does this mean for Pakistan’s borders, Gulf trade, and regional security? We break down the situation and explore Pakistan’s potential role as a mediator.

What’s Trending: Shehbaz speed and modern politics

From viral snow-clearing videos in New York to Pakistan’s “Shehbaz Speed,” modern politics is increasingly about perception, performance, and trending moments. We explore how leadership optics are shaping narratives in Pakistan and beyond.
