Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023

2 aircraft carriers in the region. Russia sees threat to them from those carriers. So, they are nervous.

This whole thing has set off a chain of actions and reactions. It is building up to be a powder keg and wrong move or miscalculation or intentions will blow this up in no time.

Re: India - Canada - News and Discussion. (2018)

Since US and UK have both supported Canada in opposing the expulsion of 41 diplomats, I can only assume that this lot contained intel operatives and it'd adversely affect the five eyes intel gathering in India. Otherwise, why would they care ? Yes, next india needs to watch out these rise in activi...

The west is not trying to take Russian barrels out of the market altogether. If they do that, India will have to buy from OPEC and drive up the “international” oil price further, which will also hurt western consumers. What the West is trying to do is reduce Russia’s revenues from selling its oil. ...
