To point out again, the American outfit with a $500 million MoU with Pakistan on minerals has an annual revenue of $6 million or so. A declared revenue of $6 million for tax purposes perhaps? No reason to think that a Trump-Witkoff venture would employ anything other than Roy Cohn book-keeping tech...

Continuing from the above https://forums.bharat-rakshak.com/viewtopic.php?p=2661536#p2661536 After Israel's airstrike on Hamas leaders in Qatar, Trump has signed an executive order warning Israel that "any attack on Qatar shall be construed an attack on the US". Many ways to look at this. ...

Chetak Saar, That's why they are called eurotards! Despite all the hooman rights blabber, most Europeans have no special love for heathen India.

What we are hearing a LOT less of these days, from all the usual Soros/Ford/Templeton-funded megaphones, is the banal repetition of nonsense about India's "democratic backsliding", "political repression" and so forth. No more Press Freedom Index, V-Dem Rating, or any of that garb...

I don't think India need be nervous even now. In terms of engineering political destabilization in India and its neighbourhood, there is very little Trump can do over and above what Biden's minders were already doing. Is Trump hindering India's economic trajectory? Sure-- but given the rate at which...

Sonam Wangchuk should not have been locked up.

Also, internal security agencies must develop the unfailing capacity to make sudden deaths appear accidental beyond all doubt. This will solve a lot of problems very quickly and effectively. Practice makes perfect.

Speaking of Hollywood, here is a good metaphor for how Modi is handling the tariff threat from Chump and company:

Rudradev

This is going to go over REAL well in Hollywood. Not to mention that most box-office receipts for Hollywood movies seen in theatres come from overseas markets-- China in particular, so much so that PRC has effective vetoes on content, casting etc. I hope Chump doesn't imagine they aren't going to re...

People should watch the David Mamet play (it's also a movie) "Glengarry Glen Ross". It's about salesmen for a NY real estate scheme. Gives a solid impression about what types of people & culture dominate Trump's inner circle. Of note, they complain bitterly (and with many racist slurs)...

100%. And very mid-20th century sales mode too. Chump's formative years in NYC were probably spent surrounded by the company of people like him.

When it comes to this whole idea of Regime Change, I don't disagree that Bharat needs to be extra vigilant at all times.

Why would Unkil SF— if siding with the Jamaatis— help the Arakan Army? AA is anti-Rohingya and some even claim (given its maneuvering to threaten SE Bangladesh shortly after the coup) that it is a long arm of RAA in the region.

Assurances have obviously been given to Chump by Asim Munir to the effect that Pakistan will guarantee and facilitate secure American access to the Bagram airbase via its territory.

Not on behalf of India, on their own behalf. They have invested $65B in Pakistan over the past 12 years.
