Among the many events in Ukraine, the one that is the most concerning is the report on ethnic Hungarians, from the Zakarpattia Oblast, selectively being sent to the front. There has always been concern that Hungary would reclaim that region. Now the Ukrainians **seem** to be diluting the population.



Poland has increased the number of people called up for war games: some say to 400,000. IF Poland decides to invade western Ukraine, then these guys will come in handy.

Painful listening to his arguments.

However, in 3/4 years we should see a short, sharp WW3. Economies will collapse (markets and housing will be 20-30% of prices when UKR conflict started). Unemployment would be between 25-40%. IM estimation.

That's true! Sad but true. American (neocon) hubris is a clear and present danger to world peace at this time. It seems to me there is a realistic non-trivial possibility of this Ukraine conflict triggering direct war between NATO and Russia -- and all this caused by NATO.

1) 2019 or 20 the West had conducted a coup in Belarus, after which a neutral president turned completely towards Russia.

2) There is a Russian government in exile in Poland. Has been there for a long time

3) Keep an eye on South America.

Victoria Nuland during the visit to India intends to convince India to limit the purchase of weapons from Russia
"In the case of the oil price ceiling, in relation to which India was previously quite skeptical, it is now the main beneficiary, since the oil it buys from Russia is much cheaper. And we are now working with them on how to get away from Russian weapons," Nuland said.
I think this is another trip to warn Modi, et al.

‘I’ve never seen this kind of madness!’ — Croatian president slams German foreign minister’s ‘We are at war with Russia’ remark
Croatian President Zoran Milanović has scolded Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock for claiming Europe is now at war with Russia, calling her remarks a “kind of madness.”

During a visit to the port city of Split, Milanović claimed Europe’s apparent declaration of war on Russia was news to him and confirmed that Croatia would in “no way” be dragged into what he referred to as a “proxy war” between NATO and Russia.

The Croatian president then wished Germany, tongue in cheek, better luck this time around following its previous attempt to defeat the Soviet Union in World War II.

“The German foreign minister says we must be united, because I quote, we are at war with Russia. I didn’t know that,” Milanović said. “Maybe Germany is at war with Russia, but then, good luck. Maybe this time it turns out better than 70-odd years ago,” he quipped.

The Croatian president expressed his surprise at Baerbock’s comments, claiming the foreign minister is the leader of a German Green party that used to promote pacifism; he then questioned whether her inflammatory remarks were an attempt to undermine Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

“If we are at war with Russia, then let’s see what we need to do. But we won’t ask Germany for its opinion,” Milanović said.

“Let them figure out who is the actual chancellor over there. I’ve been in politics for a long time, and our country has been through a lot, but I’ve never seen this kind of madness before,” he added.

Milanović has been highly critical of the approach taken by Western allies during the Ukrainian conflict, calling sanctions against Russia “absurd” and vowing not to be a “slave to America” by complying with the typical response of many other NATO members.

In his most recent remarks, the Croatian president claimed the provision of Western battle tanks to Kyiv will only prolong the war.

“Russian or American, they burn just the same,” Milanović said of the tanks. “Those tanks may burn, or they may reach Crimea, but Croatia will have nothing to do with it,” he added.

Milanovic’s attitude to the remarks by the German foreign minister was echoed in Hungary with Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó telling reporters on Thursday, “We are not at war with anybody, we do not want to be at war with anybody.

“We want to stay out of this war, and the security of Hungary and the Hungarian people is the most important thing for us.”

I am noticing that the average intelligence of US population is going down day by day and the collective political decision making is getting stupider. Victoria Nuland, Blinken, neocons, Biden and Annalena Baerbock have committed a huge blunder aided by sheer arrogance and dim witted thinking. Time to stop the fighting, no more tanks, missiles, artillery and other weapons of war. Sit down with the Russians and reach a compromise (yes, need to capitulate to Putin). Ukraine is a broken entity and the world has to live with the fact.

Coming up with a reliable alternative to SWIFT is more important. Common currency has way too many implications for each country and generates complexity at many levels as we have seen with the Euro. Countries that have vastly different economies and growth trajectories cannot fit into a common currency system. And its not required for dethroning the USD.

I think they do have alternatives. However, the alts are not used as broadly - yet.

However, I do not see a good reason for BRICS nation to have a common currency. My biggest complaint would be is that it would kill multipolarity.

The idea behind a common currency is to allow these nations to build their foreign reserves in a currency other than the dollar or the euro. IF these countries share a common currency only for the purposes of maintaining foreign reserves and peg their own national currency to that common currency (which is basically non tradable to the common man, only between central banks and lending institutions for settling current account deficits and trade etc., it could be workable.

Jan 26, 2023 :: Economist :: The state of the Bundeswehr is more dismal than ever
“The bundeswehr, the army that I am allowed to lead, is more or less depleted,” wrote General Alfons Mais, chief of the German army, on the day Russia attacked Ukraine, in an emotional post on social media. “We all saw it coming and were not able to get through with our arguments, and draw and implement conclusions from the annexation of Crimea. It doesn’t feel good! I am fed up!”

Croatia is taking a strange position.

They were allied with the Germans in WW2.

The current national flag is the same flag under which they fought the WW2.

Taking this position seems to a break with the historical trends of the nation.

You are right about the Croats being pro Nazi during WW2 . So were many Bosnians ; there were Croat and Muslim (ie Bosniak) brigades serving with the Wehrmacht in Russia.

However, don't overlook the fact that many Ukrainians also collaborated with the Nazis. Many of them enlisted in the Wehrmacht and worked as prison guards in concentration camps. Look up John Demjanjuk for example. Some of them claimed it was Stalin they were against after the Holodomor in the 1930s. In the UK, another charge laid against Churchill is that he returned many Ukrainians, who had claimed refuge in the west, to the Soviets. Stalin reportedly had them executed. Another grudge for the Ukraine. All this is probably what Putin is alluding to when he says that Ukraine is sheltering Nazis.

US, India ramp up strategic tech engagement amid growing mistrust of China
TNN | Jan 31, 2023, 10.16 PM IST

WASHINGTON: In June 2008, amid giddy talk of US-India nuclear cooperation and strategic alignment, a district court in Washington DC sentenced Parthasarathy Sudarshan, CEO of an electronics firm with offices in South Carolina, Singapore, and Bangalore, to 35 months in prison for conspiring to illegally export 500 i960 microprocessors to aid in the development of India' ballistic missiles, space launch vehicles, and fighter jets, including Tejas.
Aside from the fact that the i960 chips were so basic that more advanced microprocessors could be bought in a store, the incident came even as China was laughing its way to parity with the US, easily circumventing American export restrictions while Washington slept at the wheel, to the extent of purloining classified information relating to Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) and nuclear weapons designs.

Need to help India find alternatives to Russian military equipment: Biden admin tells lawmakers

Washington finally appears to have woken up to the Chinese threat and its misplaced mistrust of India that goes back generations. In an unprecedented engagement, top officials from the two sides are meeting this week to advance the US-India Initiative on Critical and Emerging Technologies (iCET) aimed at overcoming residual wrinkles and developing an eco-system driven by mutual trust. Following up on the decision taken by President Biden and Prime Minister in May 2022, a delegation of top Indian strategic and scientific heads are meeting their US counterparts in Washington today to put ties on the next level.

The composition of the Indian delegation itself offers a clue to what is on the table. Led by National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, it includes ISRO Chairman S Somnath, Principal Scientific Advisor to the Prime Minister, Ajay Kumar Sood; Scientific Advisor to the Defense Minister, G Satheesh Reddy; Department of Telecom Secretary K Rajaram and Director General of Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) Samir Kamat.

In support of the iCET, the US Chamber of Commerce on Monday held a roundtable with industry executives across the spectrum of advanced technologies, including semiconductor design and manufacturing, commercial electronics, advanced telecommunications, commercial space, aerospace and defense, and information technology services. With US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in attendance, officials and executives "discussed opportunities to promote development of critical and emerging technologies such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence," the US India Business Council, which hosted the roundtable, said.
US science delegation in India to seek deeper ties in space, AI emergency techs, energy

A key theme throughout the roundtable was how both governments could facilitate deeper alignment on technology issues, including encouraging semiconductor supply chain resilience. “iCET is about much more than technology cooperation, it's a platform to accelerate our strategic convergence and policy alignment, ” US NSA Sullivan said, adding that Washington and New Delhi “want to establish a list of 'firsts',” -- "firsts in removing barriers—on both sides—to enable greater ambition by all of you."

According to the USIBC statement, NSA Ajit Doval and India's Ambassador to the US Taranjit Sandhu highlighted India’s remarkable capacity for technology development and absorption, and emphasized India’s use of technology not only as an enabler of economic growth but as an instrument of social inclusion. Both officials spoke of the "natural complementary strengths of the Indian and American economies and the growing strategic convergence between both nations. They also emphasized India’s growing role a trusted supply chain partner and contributor in the global technology value chain, and underlined the importance of easing export control measures to facilitate technology access, co-production, and co-development between India and US.

India's new policy is non-alignment with a big twist

Much of the growing engagement is of course driven by the dazzling heights the techies and executives of Indian origin have attained in the US, including heading storied tech companies such as Microsoft and Google. In one of the sessions, the roundtable discussed microchips as a critical technology and the important role the US-India relationship could play in building a reliable semiconductor supply chain, even as Washington has become leery of China.

“It is promising to see the US and India prioritize the necessary discussions and investments that will enable greater semiconductor leadership within and among partner economies. The US Chamber of Commerce, as a major advocate for the CHIPS and Science Act and now the host of the US-India iCET dialogue, is creating compelling opportunities for public-private partnership that will ultimately strengthen our economies. Micron looks forward to continuing to work with both governments, the Chamber, and industry as part of this key forum.” Sanjay Mehrotra, President and CEO of Micron Technology told the meeting.
Big carrots are being dangled in front of India in Washington while Nuland presents us the bill for the same in Delhi.

Victoria Nuland, arguably, is the most influential person in the Western hemisphere. It is not an accident that she is in India and not Blinken. And, the last time Biden spoke of India he said India was "shaky". (The one and only) Pepe referred to her as "Victoria “F**k the EU” Nuland" - she has owned EU and NATO. Single-handedly. For about a decade now. It is pretty much her message that the CIA head delivered to Zelensky on his visit to Kyiv.

She owns the sub-national department in the State Department.

And, comes from a very powerful family and has the support of many others on both sides of the political aisle.

I would not underestimate her. There are many decades of work behind her. Will require a post of its own on that subject matter.

I have asked this question earlier too (k_sachin?): Which "US"?

Very broadly speaking, outside of the extremely sensitive topic of "multipolar world order" (where IMO there is an extremely close overlap between India and Russia) there is a lot of overlap between India and the US - most of all investments, and China.

Most of us think of the US or even the EU as some monolithic entities - they simply are not.

However, today, Victoria Nuland holds all the keys and she does not care for anyone out there (ref to Pepe's comment). As a result, there is little others can do. Politicians, across the world, have a file with the US intel agencies - so they are trapped. The one and only Macron opened his mouth (on a solution in UKR) and shut it much faster - news papers reported his role in a French deal and that was that.

The only "file" the US or anyone can have on Modi is whatever was in the "BBC Report". Nothing scandalous for most of his ministers especially those in key positions now. Gujarat riots cartridge was fired via BBC and became a dud. Recent Hindenburg Adani saga might also be a weak attempt to get to Modi indirectly, looks like thats going to be a dud too.

US regime change strategy which has been employed by Nuland in several countries works only when there is a corrupt head of state and coterie which is perceived as being corrupt by the people and there is discontent brewing due to misgovernance.

Modi is immune to any corruption allegations as is his group of ministers, and in popular opinion he is definitely perceived as CLEAN by a vast majority. His governance gets high marks and his track record is way too impressive by Indian and global standards. Modi's silken image offers no purchase.

Nuland can meet all the Pappus she wants and pleasure herself with sub-national stimulations, but she will be forced to eat humble pie if she attempts any of her shenanigans against India. Already her jingoism against Russia is failing spectacularly. One more misstep and she will be out of her job.

There are many more that can be manufactured courtesy Nuland. Indias fault lines are many. Plus there is always Kejriwal around….
