A rare, realistic perspective on the Russia-Ukraine war in a Western portal. Curiously, it's from the loathsome Niall Ferguson (who believes, among other things, that British colonialism was a favour to India). https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-03-22/niall-ferguson-putin-and-biden-misu...

I was thinking the same thing, except they looked like Jedis to me. No visible armament except a dagger. Headgear that restricts field of view. Long robes with long sleeves that would make quick, precise reaction difficult (let alone running or fighting). Are these fellows supposed to be providing s...

RIC having each other's back means C will claim I's territory for itself while R makes sanctimonious noises about the need for solidarity. Especially given all we know about Xi Jinping having elevated himself to nearly Mao-like status, India would have to be fantastically stupid to trust the Chinese...

Mort, with all due respect to your Mrs, I must differ with her observations. I am here in Mumbai (have been for a month) and there is a diversity of viewpoints here. Almost nobody sees Putin as having done a good thing by invading a country without obvious provocation, true. Many are angry at the ef...

Zelenskyy need not be 'overthrown' in some Maidan/Tahrir Square type drama. For all practical purposes he no longer governs a functioning state. People will give him leeway upto a point, as a war leader, but how much and for how long? Putin figures that there is an attritive function at work here. T...

So assuming that all Col. McGregor has said is true, what is the endgame for Putin? 1- He definitely wants to wipe out the hardcore nationalist, Russophobic Ukrainian military and paramilitary formations. Azov Brigade, etc. That's what he meant by "de-Nazification". 2- He wants to severely...

Lei's Real Talk (a YouTube channel featuring fairly balanced commentary about PRC) seems to think Xi will continue finding ways to support Putin economically while putting up the appearance of adhering to most Western sanctions.

^^Interesting that the name Lavanya has been completely, utterly, scrubbed from the article. All we are left with is a faceless, nameless, "17-year-old student in Thanjavur". A statistic that has been effectively dehumanized. There is power in the public repetition of a name, specifically ...

The West is not going to be happy with Russia calling off the attack and pulling back its troops based on some 'face saving' commitments from Ukraine. The West-- especially the current administration in the US, which is 100% aligned with Permanent Washington-- is determined to use this opportunity t...

It's really simple. Russia wants (A) China and (B) Islamists on its side. The former for financial support, the latter as terrorists/cannon-fodder. USA wants (A) China and (B) Islamists on its side. The former to make Wall Street happy and isolate Russia, the latter as terrorists/cannon-fodder. Both...

India also abstained from the U.N. vote condemning Russia. Modi has the same ethno-nationalist justification for claiming Kashmir as Putin does for Ukraine, which is why he’s a Pooty Pal https://twitter.com/AshaRangappa_/status/1503363593886130178?s=20&t=pDb_GGMS6wtbQkgf8aDyFw Here is the truly...

The edict of Milan was also inspired by Helena. In Rome no one paid any attention to "Christians" prior to Nicean Council and the edict was about tolerating the renegades . This is an often-repeated narrative by Christian historians, in which everything was black or white. Until the day t...

Rudradev

By 313 CE, Christian political influence in Rome was massive enough to convince Constantine to impose the Edict of Milan, which essentially decreed Jesus Christ as the official deity of the Roman legions. So there were quite a lot of Christians even in Europe by then. Christianity spread in Asia Min...

The Gypsies are originally Rajputs from India who were taken as slaves and sold off in Central Asia. From there they spread all over Europe but have always been treated as outcasts. If you read their history it is truly horrific how they were periodically massacred just for entertainment. Not slave...

Nope we should double down it, more Indians in Western countries the better. Not advisable unless we can prevent them from turning into social justice zombies. We don't need to worry about that.

Big picture: the Indian opposition is not crushed beyond hope, but is completely fragmented. Any fragment viable or dominant in state X is virtually nonexistent in state Y. AND would have to fight multiple, better-established rivals in order to compete in any given state Y. What we see is a constell...

All this triumphalism is misplaced (or at least, premature). The INC may lose Punjab tomorrow (or, in fact, they may end up providing crucial outside support to a minority AAP government in Punjab). Regardless, INC is poised to pick up two new states that have been BJP-ruled thus far: Goa and Uttara...

It's extremely ambitious. Ukraine will suffer tremendously before any of that materializes. IMO, Ukraine is getting smashed because of their own foolishness. The key is that the West is perfectly happy to have Ukrainian people suffer, get smashed & humiliated, and brew centuries of bitter resen...

US Deep State are very confident in their ability to mount a successful colour revolution in Russia itself, in the short to medium term.

It would be good if AAP grows more in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh & Madhya Pradesh to ensure decimation of Congress in all future elections. Wherever AAP grows, congress shrinks. Need a Congress-mukt Bharat. For a principal opposition party in India, I would any day prefer a Maino/Vadra-mukt Congre...

Ah but that can happen only if US lawmakers and corporates haven't sold themselves out to Chinese money and they will do an honest assessment of the situation. What is the chance of that? Difficult to say. For all that China's lobbyists wield outsize influence in Washington and on Wall Street, ther...

Meanwhile, just as the Russians have proved to be less than formidable as a conventional military force, the West has found itself much less successful than expected in terms of diplomatic influence and soft power. The US-led camp are making loud claims about how devastating their sanctions against ...

... One being the Russians could not or did not do adequate SEAD and Ukraine's Buk/Tor/S300's are mostly still alive so flying high is dangerous. And second which I believe more likely is a lack of enough PGM's and PGM capable platforms. I mean they are probably the only major airforce which does n...

I'm not kidding about Punjab. The plan is to make it into a Ukraine for India. Look at the multiple lines of convergent attack that have focused on it. 1) "Farmers' Protest" was promoted by a professionally-designed propaganda toolkit distributed worldwide. People like Greta Thunberg, Meen...

AAP's full colours will be revealed in PJ - they will now have the Police under their control for the first time. Delhi/NCR police is under home ministry.

On that note, just imagine what our views about Russia-Ukraine-NATO (as expressed on this forum) must have exposed us NRI/PIOs to in terms of surveillance from our respective government agencies. Cheers!

Zelenskiy support is perceived to be sky high due to carefully created media images of him taking selfies and running around in army fatigues. Not to mention the constant barrage of articles in western media lauding his leadership and being a role model. The truth is probably in between. https://mo...
