Syria and Iran finally had had enough of the Russians colluding with Israelis in attacking hezbollah and Iranians. So they decided to shoot down a helpless Russian plane to teach the russkies a lesson. Russia should come clear on its Israel policy and if it condones Israeli attacks on Syria rather t...

India is "backstabbing" Iran for the same reasons Russia has backstabbed Syria in the past by not giving it S-300. Basically Russia doesnt want to spoil its ties with West and Israel. Those roos-lovers who propose that india oppose US everywhere should first ask Russia to do the same. We c...

For almost half of last century, Roos loving-socialists ran the country. Indian population suffered with low economic growth and India stayed bracketed with Pakistan. Dependent on Russian weapons.

I just love our EAM. Since the days she became a young minister in the Morarji Desai government, she has done the nation proud. I disagree. This attitude is fine at a personal level, not at a national level. This is not what Chanakya taught us. This is the same "goody two shoes" that lost...

In fact the gas is so pure, Modi will be renaming the PMUY scheme to Putin Mitron Ujwala Yojana.

India had initially tried to placate Trump.
He had talked about 100% duty on Harley Davidson in his first speech to Congress. Indian govt first reduced it to 75 and then 50. Trump continued to rant.

By 'naturally fit', I picture someone like Kapil Dev who played continuously wi...

Srikanth and Sindhu did the right thing by skipping the meet. Depth in the team is needed rather than blaming a couple of players for skipping Thomas cup.

US backstabbed others. Countries like Pakistan counter-backstab them by supporting haqqanis.
