Was an average diplomat & is a useless foreign minister.
Today, India is isolated in its neighbourhood, is geopolitically irrelevant in west Asia & Eurasia, lacks normal ties with China, has hostile relations with Pakistan, is close to Europe whose economy is headed towards recession, has uncertain ties with Russia, claims leadership of Global South whose vision of the New World Order he does not understand, has put all eggs in the American basket & has deep brotherly ties with Israel which unapologetically is a terrorist state!

- Infinite scale
- Strong consistency
- High availability
- Low cost

“We’ve amassed enough firepower to end the world 1,000 times over, but we can’t summon the will to guarantee healthcare and pre-K.”
“I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark, dangerous, and cruel as this one threatens to become. When Eva asks why I let it happen, I’m determined to answer truthfully: I didn’t.”
