1. There are 2 conflicting realities exposed by @DisinfoEU:

- Pakistan's valid security concerns are often dismissed as conspiratorial & those who share them derided as hacks.

- #IndianChronicles deliberately chose themes that were believable due to realities inside Pakistan. https://twitter.com/AdamNoahWho/status/1336788300665909250
3. Why did #IndianChronicles focus on women's rights, ethnic minorities, & terrorism in Pakistan? The same reason Russia focused on racism in America. Disinformation works best when it is rooted in reality. The target provides the ammunition for the disinformation campaign.
4. Pakistan can choose to focus on the disinformation campaign directly to little avail--Indian-sponsored disinformation won't end & international audiences don't care. Or it can work to disarm the campaign by improving conditions inside Pakistan.
5. Using the disinformation campaign as proof that minority & human rights causes inside Pakistan are invalid is a logical fallacy & it plays directly into the hands of #IndianChronicles. The campaign wants Pakistan to react this way. It proves their point.
6. In the end, it is Pakistan's actual behavior that most shapes the views of EU diplomats and the international public--not a disinformation campaign that was primarily consumed by South Asians in the first place.
7. The Pakistani state & media incorrectly calculates that Indian human rights violations in Kashmir, legislation like CAA, & racist statements made by BJP officials elevates the status of Pakistan. This is not true. Pakistan & India are not a seesaw.
