Unfortunately, seems to be fake news according to Bloomberg.

If BJP loses next year, there is going to be a systematic attack against all Hindu institutions. We need a political space where the opposition is not so vile and culturally bankrupt.

Raja

This could be start of another major campaign against India. But I am sure that Modi govt. and army is aware of this possibility.

Laughable that the usual Russian fan boys are getting all bent up about a stupid bridge exploding. Russia has razed entire cities and killed thousands of people. Your hero Putin is not a saint. Moderator note: Warning issued for use of inflammatory language vs other forum members and reducing the qu...

Lol and yet, vast majority of Russians would move to Europe if they could.

Raja

Either Putin or Russia will fall. Let's see which one. Hopefully, without the rest of the world (and consequently, India's decade) getting screwed.

Raja

No one is pushing Russia to do anything. Having a hostile Ukraine on its border is not the end of the world. Russia does not have the right to have puppet governments installed in it's neighborhood. We don't go around pointing nukes at our neighbors when they start tilting towards our enemies. No on...

Flood seems to have happened at the right time for Pakistan. It will greatly improve their begging bowl.

Raja

China still blames India for the events (including the death of 20 Jawans). China still holds and claims even more Indian territory as it's own. China still routinely kidnaps Indian nationals in Indian territory and tortures them. China still prevents declaration of known Pakistani terrorists as ter...

Using nuclear weapons, tactical or not, will make the entire world more dangerous and unstable. It will have repurcussions that we can't fully predict. I hope that the Russians have more sense than going down that road.

Raja

If you say so. I can think of many examples of rich families getting a highly educated and smart trophy wife for their sons. After marriage, the wife was expected to host tea parties and join lions club. End result was that the wife was bored out of her mind. In at least two instances, when the coup...

It is a waste of potential for the nation to have otherwise highly educated and qualified women not joining the workforce. In the end it is a choice and if that is what you want and can afford, more power to you. However, more often than not, this wasted potential is due to current cultural norms.

Raja

Let's understand some facts part of Afghanistan held by US after 20 years = 0% part of Iraq held by US after 16 years = 0.001% Part of Syria held by US without even a war = 30% So when Russia is down to 0% of Ukr in 2042, we can then call them failures. Are you comparing controlling countries which...

Jury is very much out on where Russia ends up as a consequence of this war. Temporary strength (or weakness) of rubble does not make (or break) a superpower. We will only see the full impact over the next decade(s).

Raja

That makes zero sense even as a Hollywood movie plot. There is an ongoing shift in US (and even in Europe) across political parties that China is a threat to their hegemony. How exactly to deal with that might differ but the trend is not going to change. American political parties are not that easy ...

I wonder when this stupid war is going to end. The entire world's economy is being held hostage to these warring white factions. Stupidity of the highest degree. Irony of it all is that Asians and Africans are continuously demonized as uncivilized and unsophisticated heathens, when it is the Western...

How can we mandate anything of that sorts when we ourselves follow one china policy?

Raja

How does the relationship between the central govt and the brass work? Can't the govt force the brass to toe it's line? Are we sure that the brass doesn't have a legitimate reason for their actions? It's hard to accept that everyone is corrupted going back decades.

Raja

Only way to avoid the situation to get worse is to shoot down the next time a high profile aircraft does an incursion. Maybe right after all the S-4000 are deployed.

That's the only language Chinese understand.

Raja

China is actually doing what it thinks it needs to do without any verbal diarrhea. Unfortunately, in a democracy, the currency is often verbal diarrhea rather than action. Twitter battles are fought as if they change anything on the ground. That's why China can get away with large scale genocide of ...

Wonder if Ukranians have paused to think why the NATO doors have opened so quickly for Sweden and Finland but they have to pay hell just to stand in the queue !!! But if they had so much brains they would not have become neonazis who sold their mother land to the US. Why do you insist on continuing...

Raja

Stop comparing Kashmir with Ukraine situation or any other. Kashmir is an integral part of India and we have consistently maintained that policy. Your analogy does not stand. Cease and desist from this line of thinking.

Raja

West is not going to let China surpass it without saying anything. If Russia is defeated and regime changed, then there is as much of a chance that in the future it becomes part of the Western hegemony. NATO at Chinese border might just force China to come to it's sense. After all, Russia is also pr...

Mexico, Brazil, Malaysia & Indonesia abstained too.

Russia specifically warned all countries to vote against it. Even abstaining would be considered as hostile. China obliged.

Incorrect. Russians view this as a "special military operation." Saying otherwise in Russia will get you heavily fined.

China voted against. India abstained. GOI has made the strategic decision.

It is amusing that this thread is dominated by pro-Russian slant (as one would expect), yet there are nuggets like "I never thought that there would be so many people falling for Western propaganda." Here is a counterpoint. The only reason US is getting away with cancellation of Russia is ...

Pakistan has been rabid in it's support for Russia. Who knows, maybe S-4000 will make it's way to Islamabad in the future. It is going to be a very different world.

Raja

Any clue why Russia is apparently shelling the nuclear power stations? Seems slightly irresponsible...

Raja

Western propaganda is not the main reason that Ukr is winning the information warfare. We see this time and time again in conflicts between a relatively free democratic society vs. country run by more authoritarian forces that the latter loses the global information warfare. We have seen that in our...

The more time goes this looks worse for Russia. Checking social feeds and speaking to Russian friends it seems the war is not popular. Yes people are standing for their country but they are saying that this war against Slavic brothers was unwarranted. Two of my Russian colleagues who are secretly P...

Putin sems to have already played most of his cards if he is already threatening to play the nuclear card. At this point, things are starting to look pretty bad. Rouble just hit it's lowest against USD and there are talks of bank run. The economic war undid the Soviet Union and it might do the same ...

That is not true. Not that it meant a whole lot, but your statement is categorically false.

Just the news coming from Germany is worth a thread in itself.. Some really dramatic happenings over the past 48 hours showcasing a shift in foreign policy. What you are seeing in Germany, you will see it across the continent. Many EU countries were trending towards German policy with the local pop...

I am not sure why some people are reading a great Russian victory after 3 days. This is not going to be decided in days, weeks or maybe even few years. Whether or not this was a success for Russia will be decided over many years.

Raja

1. China is more or less openly supporting Russia. India is not able to do that. 2. China is building bridge between Pakistan and Russia. 3. China is far more powerful and Russia is going to want it in it's corner over the next years. India's leaders, diplomats and military has its work cut out goin...

Yes, I am afraid that there is a potential for a BIG strategic win for China here. But, lets see how it unfolds. China could also end up as a loser if the Western alliance is rejuvenated and comes out ahead. To be honest, the best outcome I can see for India is Russia falls flat on its face and some...

I don't see any pluses for India from this conflict: 1. Economy faltering from rising oil and other prices --> Good for Cong at elections 2. Possible complications in several major military acquisitions. But, maybe that will push Made In India in the long run, one can hope. 3. China will be watching...

Read a hit job from WaPo which credits the past infection for a milder Omicron wave in India "despite having a low vaccination rate." To support their hypothesis they cite an article from October about the vaccination coverage. Forget about normalizing for the fact that India has a much la...

Is there a reason why India has gone for a 9 month gap to be eligible for a booster? Most other countries seem to require 6 months. I guess it is in sync with the wider gap between the first two doses.
