बीजेपी सरकार में दिल्ली का दम घुट रहा है।

[Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson]

Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.

Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.

To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.

The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.

And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.

We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.

Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.

They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.

One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.

#Imp: As much as the right-wing trolls would love to see a controversy here and mislead people, Justice Kaul is right:

1. This was at a private function.

2. Justice Kaul was a private citizen, having retired two years before that.

3. No question of mentoring—I’ve been in touch with 100s of lawyers, judges, and ex-judges since my reporting years.

4. “Taper it down” is an advice I have gotten from literally EVERYONE who loves and/or supports my work lol. Justice Kaul was kind enough to also speak his mind with me. And that is exactly how it should be!

5. The issue here is not about who was photographed with whom. The issue here is the grave revelations by Justice Kaul that paint a very dark and dangerous state of our judiciary, proving institutional capture. Rest is all a DISTRACTION.

जिसने पंजाब में 736 करोड़ रुपए का नशा बेचकर वो पैसे अपने बैंकों में जमा करवाये, अमित शाह जी उसके साथ गठबंधन करके पंजाब को फिर से नशे में डुबोने की तैयारी कर रहे हैं। क्या अब गुजरात के रास्ते नशा लाकर पंजाब में बेचा जाएगा? पंजाबी ये बिल्कुल नहीं होने देंगे।

First, the frame. The petition rests on an investigation by @IndianExpress revealing 14 objections by Election Commissioners Vivek Joshi and Sukhbir Singh Sandhu, recorded over 10 months, objecting to decisions taken in the Commission’s name without their knowledge.

The affidavit doesn’t dispute a single note. It only says that the Commission “has neither released nor authorised the release” of them.

@LiveLawIndia Wrong, 6 core should be given to him.. Shame on UP police

[Live Law @LiveLawIndia]

#BREAKING #SupremeCourt directs the State of Uttar Pradesh to pay Rs 6 lakh compensation to a man who was kept as an undertrial prisoner for 6 years in a murder-kidnapping case without any evidence.

6 Years was erased from the man's life on the basis of a concocted story, the Court says, noting that the UP Police did not carry out "even a rudimentary investigation".

The Court directs the State Police to educate its officers on the process of investigation, and directs that the copy of the order be forwarded to the DGP.

If Prasar Bharati can spend ₹15 crore a year on a DD News show featuring a star anchor, while the ISRO Chairman’s basic pay is about ₹27 lakh a year, shouldn’t we rethink our priorities? If India wants to conquer space and attract our finest scientific minds, our rewards must match our ambitions.

The PMLA was passed to win the 2024 elections, resulting in sitting CM Kejriwal spending six months in jail, Sanjay Singh six months, sitting CM Hemant Soren six months, and Sisodia almost two years. Now you can see how the system was manipulated by modi to finish opposition.
