Ms. Collins, what you posted is not "news" to anyone. Should we be infatuated with your daily routine as a journalist at a party graced by the president? I guess we must conclude your calendar IS the daily news.
Say hello for the sake of my true AL father-in-law at those shindigs to fellow Alabama Inferiority Syndromers like Howell Raines and Rick Bragg, alums of your buddies at the NYT.
India has to transform her thinking to embrace China in cooperation because the long-term competitor is the "United" States, which will never tire of crushing the aspirations of Indian people wherever they exist. The tiny sliver of success stories in the diaspora have exemplified the depth of Indian sycophancy, pure slavery. Good at math now instead of planting opium.
How exciting to get to be there! Coupled with the misery of the invasion of Afghanistan, trouble that brewed in the five "stans" of "Turkestan" under the Soviet Union were probably a bigger contributor to Russian isolationism than Reagan "outspending" them into submission.
Born here as most Americans, I don't know much about the wars between Iranians and Russia where Central Asia was the battleground. Love your posts.
@kaitlancollins Is this what growing up in the renovated 'burbs of Birmingham, AL gets us? More Alabama Inferiority Syndrome. Reposting Trump's Truth Social announcements about the end of EyeRainian Civilization? And going to fundraisers and DC balls vain in your status as a "journalist". lol
@Chellaney Punjabi macho man of 1914, you were not just a poet, you commanded a lost "Genre" of poetry. I think that is a French word? O wicked Germany indeed.
@Chellaney India can declare that about half of British deaths in WWI were Indian mercenary troops. As a run up to British instigated WWI, India's slave ruling class spread "O Wicked Germany" poetry across all of Punjab, decrying the German invasion of innocent Belgium. Go get 'em Punjabi!
@Chellaney Only achievement of Hague is bold-faced headlines on Bloomberg's Asia news. India can dump the Hague, the ICC, the U.N. short of imminent addition to the Permanent Security Council. India can dump the U.N. altogether if she is too timid to risk anything close to a black eye.
@Teluguraaya Oral tradition defined nearly all of the ancient world. Writing did not become ubiquitous for millenia. The use of writing to "prove" a fact or it's absence to deny a fact was ushered very much by Anglo-Protestants.
@Teluguraaya Tamadu, important to understand that the British mantra, "if it is not written, it did not happen", is designed by and for enforcers of British Common Law.
There is no British objection to a 300 year written absence of the alleged birth of Christ to becoming Christian Rome.
@MarioNawfal I would ask instead. In the face of footage of such a natural disaster, what mentality would choose to focus on possible theft or looting?
Doesn't morally judging everyone and everything all of the time ever get boring?
@Chellaney India better stop whining about "alarm bells". There is no "Bangla" "desh", place of Bengali people. All of Bengal must be reunited. It's impossible for a nation to allow 100s of millions of people in its borders whose sole identity is Hindu-hating. If they refuse? The End.
@WhiskyThaFox Your 12,000 pound elephant has been whipped in nearly every war, including your beloved Canada. Have some pride. And make Quebec a free nation. Dad came to Montreal first and then to the US. Kick the British out. Get a clue.
@WhiskyThaFox CA women: respect your men. We have enough problems with our dingbat women in the lower 48.Montreal or Detroit. CA women: respect your men. We have enough problems with our dingbat women in the lower 48.
@dhume The British set up Mumbai. The future trading hubs of South Asia, by necessity, will be on the eastern shore, the Bay of Bengal. The future is where it had always been. To heck with Arabs, Jews and Europeans. Their flush toilets and running water do not dazzle us anymore.
@Chellaney India must follow Japan's model of development in the 2nd half of the 19th century and Germany's design too. India's exhausted its potential to advance into the modern world begging and praying the US to "rub off" on our people. Our ruling class is slavish, deceitful & cruel.
@Chellaney The transfer of power from England to New England also transferred to relationship between England's triumvirate of the Church of England, Bank of England and House of Lords to their Anglo-Protestant caretakers in the U.S.
The Mecca "alliance" is a nonsensical publicity stunt.
