It appears that Pakistan's prime minister Imran Khan's support for Russia has resulted in a gentle US regime change:

Pakistan’s National Assembly has passed a vote of no-confidence against Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday, with 176 lawmakers out of 342 voting against him. The speaker of the parliament’s lower house Asad Qaisar, who is also a member of Khan’s party, announced his resignation after adjourning the house three times throughout Saturday.
Khan PTI’s party effectively lost its majority in the National Assembly in March when seven MPs from its coalition partner decided to join the opposition’s ranks. The rivals accused the cricket star-turned-politician of mismanaging Pakistan’s economy, battered by the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as mishandling Islamabad’s foreign and internal policy.
Sunday’s motion means that Khan’s five-year term has ended early, much like that of all previous prime ministers of the country.
The opposition will now put forward their own candidate to replace Khan as PM. On March 21, Maryam Nawaz, the vice president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party – the country’s leading opposition force – told journalists that the party had nominated Shehbaz Sharif as its candidate for the office, which was confirmed by Sharif himself on Thursday.
Khan, in turn, had previously claimed that the opposition was doing a foreign power’s bidding, and that an “imported government” would be installed in Pakistan should he be ousted. In his Friday night address, the politician vowed that he would put up a struggle, calling on his supporters to take to the streets.
Khan previously pointed the finger at the US, which he said wanted him gone, for his attempts to carry out an independent foreign policy and his visit to Moscow in late February. The politician claimed to have a recording from the Pakistani ambassador in Washington proving the allegations.
On Monday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova suggested that Washington was trying to “punish an unruly Imran Khan,” describing efforts to remove him from power as “yet another attempt to unashamedly interfere with a sovereign nation’s internal affairs.”
The US State Department has denied claims that it was behind the vote of no-confidence, with spokesperson Jalina Porter describing Khan’s allegations as “absolutely not true.”
That woman is pure evil, I tell ya. She continues her conscience free and spineless actions in the EU.
That's what Imran Khan is saying (which bolsters his cause), but I doubt that is the main reason. Russia in its attempt to bring balance, giving much wanted weapons to many countries including S-400 to Turkey and weapons to Pakistan etc. There are other economic incentives too in it. They also trying to bring Pakistan into Global East fold. This is nothing new and had been going on for few years. Why now?
Imran Khan is known as "selected Prime minister" and had good relation with its army until recently. Without Army's help no body can do any thing in Pakistan and that is why it is called "Army with a Nation". Army helped him in resolving many people issues during his first 2 years. There are many news about he is having issues with Army for his usual dominating approach. It seems to have contributed to fall out with Army. Once fall out with Army happens, its only a matter of time and means when PM is ousted. It happened so many times in the Pakistani history.
Imran Khan says not considering to change Army chief, reports Pak media
As per the Pakistani media, PM Imran Khan has said that he is not considering changing the Army chief amid the ongoing political turmoil.
He says US asked his removal - It may not be in the format he is suggesting. Initially when no-confidence motion came, there is no talk of outside interference and he even boasted saying he has a shocking surprise for the opposition and organized rallies. Whether rallies helped his objective or not is not clear, but he did surprised every body by dissolving the parliament and president approved, though its constitutional validity is doubtful. But, Pakistani supreme court got involved and asked him to prove his majority. So he was forced to prove his majority which he failed today.
I think he is using "Bad US" for his situation because he can't blame his own Army right? Typical South Asian Politics.
Ukrainian militants Telegram channels are very proud of themselves filming their atrocities. Such footages are numerous. For ex., a graphic 18+, posted by a Ukrainian militant.
The message say: "Nova Posta. Future Delivery. The Ukrainians, unlike the Russian command, try to return Putin's soldiers to their families. It is not always possible to return them in their entirety, but nevertheless..."

Ukraine embodies ISIS in the middle of Europe.
