India's To Be or Not to Be Aircraft Carrier

[Hamlet @IACTwo]

Carrier critics: Aircraft Carriers (which move) are "sitting ducks" in today's ISR saturated, precision strike environment

Also carrier critics: Shore-based air (which operates from static airfields) is the solution.

Weird. There are imp unanswered questions on GoI conduct in the leadup, during and after Sindoor but INC did not press them at the right time and right now when focus is rightly on Pradhan invoking this...

[Congress @INCIndia]

हमारी फ़ौज ऑपरेशन सिंदूर में पाकिस्तान से लड़ी।

इस बारे में डोनाल्ड ट्रंप ने कई बार खुलकर कहा है कि मैंने नरेंद्र मोदी को फोन कर युद्ध बंद करने को कहा था। इसके जवाब में नरेंद्र मोदी ने उससे कहा- Yes Sir .. और फिर युद्ध रुक गया।

अब सवाल है- अगर ये सेनाओं के साथ धोखा नहीं तो फिर क्या है?

INC tribe showing its true colors. Different messiah, different brand of populism.

Same disregard for national interest.

[Kaushik Raj @kaushikrj6]

I find this argument absurd that CJP will hurt the opposition. Everybody has the right to organise. By this logic, anyone who is not Congress, will be termed "anti-opposition". Doesn't make sense. Protest by Congress & CJP, both are good for democracy. Why not see them as one?

[U.S. Naval Institute @NavalInstitute]

#OTD in 1996, the Japanese destroyer Yugiri accidentally shot down a U.S. Navy A-6E Intruder with a Phalanx CIWS during a training exercise. The Intruder crew from VA-115 ejected and were recovered. It was the first foreign plane shot down by Japanese forces since 1945.

Good, but the legislature and citizenry failed to prevent the war in the first place.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

BREAKING: President Trump suffered a rare defeat in the House after Democrats and a handful of Republicans voted to sharply curb his war powers in Iran.

Lawmakers voted 215-208 to withdraw troops from using military force against Iran absent congressional authorization.

All Democrats present backed the measure, joined by Reps. Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Tom Barrett — the only Republicans to break with the president.

The vote is largely symbolic for now. Trump is expected to veto the resolution, and supporters do not have the votes needed to override it. But the bipartisan rebuke highlights growing divisions on Capitol Hill over U.S. involvement in Iran.

[Hamlet @IACTwo]

The Kejriwal bootlickers that kicked you, your father and others out of AAP could also have used this narrative against you. That you were holding him to some impossible high standard?

RaGa doesn't meet the baseline needed to lead 1.4 billion, esp at a time of global churn,

“Soon after the 2024 general elections, I chanced upon a political scientist in Vienna. He remarked that the true tragedy of modern Indian liberalism is its penchant for perfectionism in an age of existential crisis”
That is Ram Guha’s critique of Rahul G https://t.co/Vxo0YDYd15

[Hamlet @IACTwo]

The current clownshow in power led by 56-inch and its zombie supoort base are of course prime culprits. But it will be your undoing if you don't subject the others esp INC to tough scrutiny as well.

We will see.

🚨#Announcement

I am thrilled to join the Cockroach Janta Party as its Chief Spokesperson. There comes a moment when the young of a nation realise they are angry because they were promised a future, and then mocked, moralised, and treated as disposables for asking where that future went. That moment has arrived. And it is time we change that.

Ab hum bolenge.

Ab hum desh ka bhavishya khud likhenge!

[Hamlet @IACTwo]

Yeah, you aren't exactly a great advertisement for your gender in politics either...

Repeated failures, chaos, all OK as long as citizenry (re) discovers its mojo and keeps at it.

We'll see how smug you are feeling when Karma catches up with an opportunist like you.

[Priyanka Chaturvedi🇮🇳 @priyankac19]

So Cockroach Janta Party begins with a 100% male representation as founder, co-founder and spokespersons.
Okay, can’t wait for more to unravel :-)

RBI issued this clarification to refute Bloomberg's hypothesis that it may have sold some gold.

The clarification breaks down and raises more questions than it answers.
1/5🧵

[Hamlet @IACTwo]

The comments section is interesting...

[PIB Fact Check @PIBFactCheck]

A news report published by @Bloomberg states that RBI may have sold gold amounting to approximately USD 12 billion.

#PIBFactCheck

❌ This claim is FAKE

✔️ According to @RBI, the share of gold in India's foreign exchange reserves rose from 13.92% at end-September 2025 to 16.70% on March 31, 2026, and further to 16.85% as of May 22, 2026.

▶️ The physical stock of gold is also disclosed by RBI in its Monthly Bulletin. The latest edition is available on the RBI website at: https://t.co/ygyDJLIBvH, the status of which remains unchanged as on date.

[Subramanian Swamy @Swamy39]

India’s declining economy. Since year 2020 it has been losing strength. A collapse this year in October may happen if strict economic reforms are not introduced. Modi is clueless and Finance Ministry is bewildered. Our Nation may soon be seen internationally as being led of economist clowns. Time for our patriotic scholars to suggest the way out.

[Hamlet @IACTwo]

So you want Ram Guha to write another piece where

Kejriwal is blamed for being an autocratic tyrant
Didi is blamed for the same and continuing a tradition of political violence
UDT is blamed for dynasty

The "soul of the republic" has been hollow since 1950, Nehru at fault too

[M K Venu @mkvenu1]

Blaming only RG is reducing "existential struggle for the soul of the Republic to a critique of the personal failings of a single individual, unwittingly validating the very playbook designed by Narendra Modi and Amit Shah."
