Serious interlocutors but no serious guarantees against future actions, that's the reason a serious country like India or players have kept themselves away from negotiations. Secondly, for other countries, at this time, it's very important for them to secure their energy interests and food interests (yes, that's intertwined with the energy industry) and make it risk proof and that's exactly what India, China and other energy dependent countries are doing. But yes these countries should definitely convey a message to global disruptors that are fully aware of what's right and what's not and at any given time domestic interests would be prioritised before anything else.
A well calculated western effort to increase the cost of logistics and transportation to cause further distribution down the supply chain. So far, India has resisted it but beyond a point it would not be feasible for state refineries to withstand the crisis.
History has a strange sense of irony. Mayawati, once associated with anti–uppercaste politics, now articulates concern over rising hostility towards Brahmins, while the guardians of their interests hesitate to respond and have subtly sanctioned it. Knowing what to say, when to say and at the same time sounding sensitive enough is also an art of politics which unfortunately many aren't aware of.
Probably Tharoor ji still doesn't know or at least pretends that he doesn't know the fact that the relevant stakeholders in Pakistan aren't interested in any sort of meaningful, 'beneficial to both nations' types of dialogues with India. Pakistan was born because they hated India and it is sustaining because they hate India and India means Hindus.
Once a most wanted terrorist, now president of the Syrian republic, has not arrived in Moscow to reset ties with Russia. One of the key demands are extradition of Assad & that's not going to be entertained. They will also talk about Russian assets in Syria & military bases maybe.
Ready for a blueprint that redefines the future of Bharat? Swami Vigyananand's 'The Hindu Manifesto' is more than a book—it's a call to civilizational awakening. Don't just read, awaken.

More NAFO than original NAFOS.
The conflict in Georgia arose for specific reasons. It is not that Russia sought to invade Georgia; rather, the deployment of missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads poses a threat to Russian security interests, and Russia is justified in taking preemptive measures. Georgia received multiple warnings regarding this matter, yet the leadership believed that George Bush would provide assistance, which ultimately did not materialize. Most importantly, in 2007, the entire international community was urged to recognize Russia's red lines.
Just in case, after the US decided to declassify the documents. Here's the root cause of it. Secondly, if the Baltic countries give assurance to Russia that they will not host NATO missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads, Russia isn't interested in conquering them because a) they don't intend to b) they don't have resources. Disliking Russia is absolutely okay but propaganda isn't okay.
Looks like Zelensky isn’t reading the room. I feel sorry for Ukraine. This joker will get asylum in Europe and access to the millions he’s embezzled & as much cocaine as he wants. Unfortunately ordinary Ukrainians will pay the price.
What people don't understand is that Zelensky, his wife, and his henchmen are surviving and have been able to afford their luxurious and grand lifestyle only because of this war. This man came to power promising peace, and he was one of the prominent Ukrainian faces who actually spoke Russian, gave media interviews in the Russian language, and said that language shouldn't be the reason for ethnic divide. Now, the people who were responsible for the Decommunization law of Ukraine, the entire machinery that helped the Azov battalion integrate into the armed forces of Ukraine, and the radicals who drove the war from 2014 onward; they all are able to afford luxury mansions, foreign trips, and nonstop access to European financial, diplomatic, and industrial resources only because there is a war. As long as the war continues, there will be martial law in Ukraine, and the entire ecosystem will enjoy unlimited power, and they don't want to give up this luxurious lifestyle. Hence, the war will continue.
There wasn't a damn thing they could have done before, and there's not a single damn thing they can do now. Just as Zelensky has brainwashed the last of the European cokeheads into believing that if they don't keep backing the war, Russia will storm through Europe—utterly ludicrous! You're deluding yourself just as badly by thinking that Europe's support for this cokehead would have changed a damn thing. It's an epic, unrivaled hallucination!
There's a reason I called India the biggest oil smuggler. Imagine surpassing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as Europe's top oil supplier.
Europe’s refined oil imports from India are predicted to exceed 360,000 barrels per day, due to new Western sanctions on Russian oil.
