#Exclusive | Months after a power tussle emerged within the Afghan embassy in Delhi, a new crisis hit the mission when staff were sacked on Fri due to “lack of funds”.

Amb Mamundzay also denied claims of corruption against him.

I miss @LukeShaw23 so much. This is a game he’d have owned #BAYMUN

[KP Esq. @Chop__Stick]

How is it one day these players look like heroes but for most of the year they create the situations we find ourselves in?! #UCL #BAYMUN

[KP Esq. @Chop__Stick]

72 mil € for a “good leap”. This is absurd #BAYMUN

[KP Esq. @Chop__Stick]

@ManUtd No shit Sherlock. With a team that is an embarrassment to the shirt

[KP Esq. @Chop__Stick]

How sad is it that our best player rn on the pitch is a Spurs outcast who by all metrics had a terrible last season? #BAYMUN

[KP Esq. @Chop__Stick]

Garnacho is still not a finished product. Bring on @Sanchooo10 #TOTMUN

[KP Esq. @Chop__Stick]

Did United forget how to midfield? No closing down, huge gaps, no energy. Truly low energy. #TOTMUN

[VRS @azizdopleganger]

With the new game week of PL beginning, I just hope for one thing. Same energy from every pundit and commentator when the next GK smashes into a forward after ball is played. If not, never open your mouth about united again.

[KP Esq. @Chop__Stick]

Unchanged from last weekend. Wonder how Ten Hag has solved United’s lack of an engine room. I hope he isn’t expecting Mount or Fernandes do something they aren’t good at #TOTMUN

[KP Esq. @Chop__Stick]

Jadon Sancho has been our best player on the pitch and he’s been on less than ten mins #MUNWOL

We had a meeting last week with the FA. They recommended from the referees new decisions and rules.

From the managers and players, we have shared our concerns for many years now that there are too many games, the schedule is overcrowded, and it’s at a dangerous level for players physical and mental well-being.

Despite our previous feedbacks, they have now recommended for next season: longer games, more intensity, and less emotions to be shown by players. We just want to be in good condition on the pitch to give 100% to our club and fans. Why are our opinions not being heard?

As a player I feel very privileged to do the job I love every day but I feel these changes are damaging our game. We want to be at our maximum level, the best we can be and put on amazing performances for fans to celebrate every week.

I believe it is important that we, players and managers, highlight these important issues as we want to protect the game we love and give the fans our best.

I write on the evolution of the US-China relationship from focusing on economics to help move China on to the path of democracy to becoming ideological rivals today. Was able to do this thanks some interesting expert comments from @Sri_Kondapalli @Sriparnapathak & @Gunjsingh01.

The Southern European countries—Spain, Italy, Greece, etc—must understand that their future depends on spearheading a movement for radical eco-social transformation within the EU.

Southern Europe has a strong revolutionary tradition and it's time to revive it for this end.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

The ecological crisis cannot be solved by capitalism. Capital simply won’t mobilise the necessary production (public transit, renewable energy, insulation, regeneration, etc) because it is not profitable to do so. We need to mobilise public works directly or we’re in trouble.

Chinese Foreign Ministry claimed that PM Modi and President Xi reached a 'consensus' during the G20 Bali summit. This is a first eight months after the two leaders publicly exchanged greetings. Read more on this 👇

An absolutely engaging interview on why India is making part payments to Russia in the yuan and the larger shift to the global digital order with Dr. @swasrao. Watch the interview 👇

Read my article on Lithuania's diplomatic tussle with China and its new Indo-Pacific strategy. Was also able to hear from the Lithuanian Ambassador to India @DMickeviciene on all of the above topics.

With @D_DeGea leaving, @ManUtd are truly at the end of an era. For me DDG will always be one of our best in the last decade.
