@AliceTalksFooty Accurate review! Nobody looks dangerous near the box - not the @ManUtd way. We attack, attack, attack!

[Nandan Gururaj @Nandan_G22]

💯agree with everything below. The fact that we had just 3 shots on target against a 10-men team says a lot about the tactics. Something is definitely missing, and a big spark is required to overturn this situation - @carras16 needs help!

[Alice @AliceTalksFooty]

Full time review:
- We played worse vs 10 men
- Outrageous from VAR, Enzo clearly interfering with play
- Mainoo best outfield player by a mile
- Tielemans sub was bad, we lost control in the middle when he came off
- Dorgu & Dalot embarrassing today
- Front line overthinking every action and something isn’t clicking
- Man City won because of their mentality
- United players weak mentality, and let City get in our head!
- Our attack isn’t seeming to click, we need to go back to basics

Game should be 0-0 because that VAR decision was scandalous but the fact we can’t score against 10 men is embarrassing! I’m fuming!

[Nandan Gururaj @Nandan_G22]

@Im_pritam18 Absolutely loved this - deeply meaningful; a must listen..this is an eye-opener!

[Nandan Gururaj @Nandan_G22]

I hope the investigation continues on #SSR case as well, and justice must prevail.

#JusticeForSSR #JusticeforDishaSalian

[Nandan Gururaj @Nandan_G22]

The Bombay HC exposing massive gaps in the #DishaSalian case is a test of institutional integrity. Because the #CBI operates under the Central Government, the current govt is fully accountable for ensuring a fair, untainted investigation. Justice delayed will be their failure.

@RekhaS1990 @Toxic_themovie @TheNameIsYash @GeetuMohandas @KvnProductions Yes. Unpack this - He killed his mother because he didn't want his sister to become a prostitute, but he wants every woman around him to be a prostitute for him😭

[Nandan Gururaj @Nandan_G22]

@mysorevivekmv @vigilant_777 Exactly!

[Nandan Gururaj @Nandan_G22]

Yash put the Kannada Film Industry on the global map with KGF, but #Toxic is an absolute misfire. No story, mindless violence repetitive metaphorical dialogues and terrible VFX. Imagine how brilliant Geetu Mohandas’ raw direction would be without these forced commercial cliches!

Pakistan is not just receiving cargo.
China and Turkey are landing military giants there.
And something much bigger is being prepared.

For 60 hours.
Pakistan’s skies stayed busy.

Chinese Y-20s.
Landed in Nur Khan and Masroor.

Then Türkiye.
A400M.

Tracked towards Murid.
Pakistan’s drone centre.

These machines aren't built for tourism.

What was the secret consignment?

Drones.
Vehicles.
Radar modules.
Air-defence parts.
Munitions.
Command systems.

But why does Pakistan suddenly need muscle?

That's where we need to look at India's new revised Doctrine.

Another major terror attack on India Soil.
Terrorists and state sponsors won't be treated separately.

Operation Sindoor changed the equation.
Pakistan expected surgical strikes.

India went deep.
India busted Pakistan’s Nuclear Bluff.

India's air-defence grid shocked not just Pakistan.
But the world.

Pakistan saw the message.
Its nuclear shadow was not enough.
It needed a stronger shield.

Then came August 7.
The Makkah Defence Agreement.

Saudi Arabia.
Türkiye.
Pakistan.

Allegedly backchanneled by China and America.

Look around Pakistan.

Baloch insurgency.
PoK unrest.
TTP pressure.
Iran on the west.
India on the east.
RAW is working overtime.

Saudi Arabia needs Pakistan stable.
Türkiye needs Pakistan strong.
China needs Pakistan useful.
America needs it stable too.

Saudi brings money.
Türkiye brings military technology.
Pakistan brings manpower.

Pakistan keeps India looking west.

India is rising.

An India hard to pressure is inconvenient to many powers.

Information warfare.
Psychological warfare.

But what if they fail?

Then comes the darker scenario.

One major terror attack.
India invokes its doctrine.
Pakistan retaliates.

The conflict stretches.
Weeks become months.

Money burns.
Military assets get locked.
Growth gets distracted.

Think Ukraine.
Not the same war.
The same strategic trap.

Keep a rising power occupied.
Then negotiate with a tired one.

Ask one question.

Who benefits if the board moves that way?

Pakistan is being strengthened.
Not because everyone loves Pakistan.
Because several need it useful.
To keep a check on Powerful Bharat.

The next three months matter.
Watch the borders.
Watch Kashmir.
Watch the cargo.

The fire has not started.

But the board is being set.

This has just got me excited 🤌🏽👏🏽⚽️

@lennysan Couple things: I have to tell a story when we want to brush his teeth - else, he won’t brush well or skip. Second, when we go biking, no matter how ahead I get, I need to wait until he overtakes me and moves ahead 😁

PS: he’s 3.8

The only man on this planet that's got bigger balls than Jake Lang is President Trump

You wanna hear passion... watch this video

It made me wanna stand up and start singing the National Anthem while I was driving this rig

71 hours into Operation Sindoor, Pakistan fired a Fateh-II missile towards Delhi

The missile, aimed at New Delhi, was intercepted and neutralised over Sirsa by India’s air-defence system

Pakistan then faced the Indian response.

India unleashed BrahMos strikes on Pakistani military airbases, including Nur Khan, with several other airbases and military installations hit across the western front.

And by morning, Pakistan’s DGMO was on the hotline, pleading with India to stop the strikes and agree to a ceasefire.

A Fateh-II aimed at India was stopped in the sky.
BrahMos then reached Pakistan’s military targets.

This was Operation Sindoor - India defending itself, retaliating with precision, and forcing Pakistan to ask for the firing to stop 🇮🇳

@shushant_l Lol..if people subscribe to all these and start reading, it will take them a minimum of 5-6 hours to read and understand (to become any useful); so, when do you expect them to do actual work?

@AliceTalksFooty Can’t agree more. Carrick defo needs this to compete at the highest level! #GGMU

[Dr. Brahma Chellaney @Chellaney]

Seven years after the abrogation of Article 370, the trajectories of India's Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan-held Jammu and Kashmir have diverged in striking ways.

In Indian Jammu & Kashmir, the post-2019 transition has increasingly been defined by democratic restoration and economic integration. An elected government is in office. Once-routine hartals, stone-pelting and separatist shutdowns have disappeared, while counterterrorism operations have become more targeted and civilian life more stable.

Record tourist arrivals, major infrastructure projects (including the Chenab Rail Bridge and new highway corridors) and rising investment have injected fresh momentum into the economy. The constitutional changes have extended full political rights to previously marginalized communities, even as demands for the restoration of full statehood and greater powers for the territory's elected government remain unresolved.

Across the Line of Control, the picture is markedly different. Pakistan-held Kashmir has been convulsed by recurring mass protests, which have been met with police shootings, mobile and internet shutdowns, and sweeping state repression, including the arbitrary detention of protesters under anti-terror laws. The protests have been fueled by grassroots resentment over Pakistan profiting from the region's natural resources while leaving local people to bear mounting economic hardship. Political discontent has deepened over governance, accountability and electoral representation.

The contrast is difficult to ignore.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Seven years ago, on this day, Articles 370 and 35(A) became history, marking a decisive new chapter in the journey of Jammu and Kashmir as well as Ladakh.

Since then, the lives of the people of J&K and Ladakh have witnessed wide-ranging transformation. Infrastructure has expanded, opportunities in areas such as education, healthcare, entrepreneurship and sports have grown. Be it the women or the marginalised communities, those who were denied their basic constitutional rights for decades have been empowered thanks to the full application of the Constitution of India.

5th August this year assumes even greater significance as this is the year our nation commemorates the 125th birth anniversary of Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee. His lifelong commitment to national unity continues to inspire generations. What he envisioned decades ago found historic fulfilment on 5th August 2019.

We reaffirm our commitment to the progress of Jammu and Kashmir as well as Ladakh and to ensure that every citizen has the opportunity to dream big, achieve and contribute to the making of a Viksit Bharat.
