After slicing Sidhu's forearm to demonstrate punjab flowing through Sidhu's veins, India's very own intellectual colossus mixes his own blood with soil from Tamilnadu.

Ukrainian Nazis in Zelensky's govt. holding Indian students hostage in Ukraine by refusing to let them board a train out of Ukraine, and these were the humanitarians India was supposed to support in the UN?

Jude Blanchette, a China specialist at C.S.I.S. who hosted the group’s forum, suggested that if Ukraine becomes a quagmire—Putin’s Afghanistan—then it may be more of a deterrent than an incentive to observers in Beijing. “If there’s a prolonged, protracted war, with thousands of body bags heading h...

I think by refusing to put boots on the ground in Ukraine and keeping Zelensky in liquid oxygen regarding membership, they may have changed the mind of Ukrainian leadership, which is probably seeing no upside in the current situation, but then again, hope springs eternal.

I think we need to carefully cultivate this. Agreed mistakes could be made. But we need to step out and make the effort. Cannot disagree with that.

I gotta say that a lot of Turks are totally anti Erdogan and his islamist agenda. Liberal types hate him. And this fella could very well be one such fella.

One question to ask is what is the worst damage someone like this Turkish Guy could cause as head of the airline. Airlines are strategic sectors, going by 9/11 and civilian planes. So if this guy has the capability of getting some joker aboard an AI plane and repeat a 9/11 in another country, it wou...

Russia has the lowest cost of extracting oil so India can stabilize its internal oil prices with Russia as a supplier in addition to friendly Gelf states for diversification. This is probably already in action -- if it is obvious to average amitabh like me, it is for the GoI too.

G2 is all about China being the biggest dog and US ally in Asia, so pushing Russia into the arms of China would take the US one step towards that goal. Regardless, China will now be emboldened to take on India, as everyone here has already pointed out.

Looks like the west is doing to Ukraine what it did to Pakistan, Afghanisthan, Iraq and Syria. Not sure that qualifies as "helping" Ukraine.
