Dear USA president @elonmusk ji –
We Indians consider our national security and sovereignty paramount. No business interest, billionaire, or foreign corporation can be above the laws and policies of our country.
India welcomes foreign investment and advanced technology, but if you want to do business here, respecting our laws, regulatory framework, and national security requirements should not be a problem.
Competition is welcome, but not at the cost of national security. Every company operating in India must comply with the rules established by the Indian government. These are not unreasonable demands; they are the sovereign rights of an independent nation.
If you are unwilling to operate within India's regulatory framework, that is entirely your choice. We Indians will continue using the internet services currently available to us.
India is open for business, not open to compromise on national security. Our country, our laws, our rules. If you want to do business here, respect them. Otherwise, your internet is yours to keep, and we are perfectly entitled to be satisfied with our existing services.
India is open to business, not to pressure. Our country, our laws, our security, and our decisions. No billionaire is bigger than India.
How long is the stench of the “sham” going to corrode the meaning, worth, and very essence of the Premier League?
Listening to commentary about Manchester City’s players matching the defiance of their ownership and triumphing in adversity.
Listening to fans chorusing the names of the men running the club, wearing masks or displaying banners of their faces and jibing: “We’re Man City, we’ll cheat when we want.”
Victory being framed as “a lovely moment,” a show of togetherness as though some grave injustice has been imposed on City, rather than their hierarchy being found by an independent commission to have orchestrated financial doping on an industrial scale.
Their opponents and the rest of us wondering if any of this actually matters now and how much of it ever did?
There can be no business as usual pretence. We need a full stop to the absurdity.
It's a victory that is likely to mean absolutely nothing in a couple of months when City get their punishment for nearly a decade of cheating. What a mess the Premier League is in.
Anyone who didn’t watch this match and just sees the result will think City battered Liverpool
Liverpool were literally the better team until the red card😭
Sorry, but this is a total farce.
Manchester City players, and fans, celebrating wildly like nothing has happened - despite the club being exposed as the worst cheats in football history.
What happens if they win the title again this season? That could ruin the Premier League.
لم يكن الفنان الدومينيكاني ( بولين 47 ) يتوقع أن يتحول لقاء عابر في أحد شوارع دولة إسبانيا إلى لحظة فارقة تزيد من شهرته وتكسبه محبة ملايين الأشخاص ! 🇪🇸
بدأت القصة عندما كان صانع المحتوى ( كيفن واي ) يستوقف المارة ويشغّل إيقاعات موسيقى الديمبو عبر مكبر صوت صغير، محاولاً دفعهم إلى الغناء والإرتجال معه. بعض الفنانين كانوا يتجاهلونه ويواصلون طريقهم، بينما كان آخرون يكتفون بإبتسامة عابرة دون مشاركة حقيقية، لكن ( بولين 47 ) إختار أن يتصرف بطريقة مختلفة تماماً؛ إذ توقف وتفاعل مع الشاب بحماس، وبدأ يغني ويرتجل ويرقص معه، دون تكبّر أو شعور بأنه أكبر من هذه اللحظة العفوية.
تحول اللقاء إلى ظاهرة إجتاحت مواقع التواصل، وتجاوز المقطع الأصلي 65 مليون مشاهدة خلال أيام قليلة. ولم يتوقف الأمر عند الإنتشار الواسع، بل إستثمر ( بولين 47 وكيفن ) نجاحهما والكيمياء التي ظهرت بينهما في إصدار أغنية رسمية، ليحوّلا إرتجالاً عفوياً في الشارع إلى تعاون موسيقي حقيقي. وربما لم يكن ( بولين 47 ) يحظى قبل هذه الواقعة بالقدر نفسه من الإنتشار الذي حققه بعدها، لكن تفاعله الطبيعي وتواضعه جعلا جمهوراً أكبر يكتشفه ويتعرف على فنه وشخصيته. 🎤🎵
واللافت في هذه القصة أن الفرق لم يكن في الموسيقى أو الكاميرا، بل في طريقة تعامل كل شخص مع الموقف نفسه؛ فبينما تجاهل البعض ( كيفن ) ومنحه آخرون إبتسامة سريعة، إختار ( بولين 47 ) أن يتوقف ويشاركه الغناء بكل عفوية، فكانت النتيجة إنتشاراً عالمياً ومحبة جماهيرية متزايدة.
وهنا تظهر العبرة الحقيقية : التواضع قد يكون باباً للشهرة، والإنسانية قد تمنحك ما لا تستطيع الأموال شراءه.
Hamas and the Houthis share the same pathological creed.
It is the creed common to all radical Islamist organizations: hatred of Jews, the centrality of violence, and the terrorizing of neighbors to achieve political ends.
Now imagine a Houthi-like state established on the border of any other Arab state.
The danger it would pose is immediate and obvious. This is precisely why a Palestinian state run by Hamas or like-minded organizations is a genuine threat to the entire Middle East.
Hamas had its chance to show what a Palestinian state could look like in 2005. It turned its money into tunnels, rockets, and a launchpad against Israel.
That was the prelude. The Houthis extend the same example. Another Palestinian state should enter people's minds as another Houthi state.
The Palestinians deserve to live in dignity, side by side with Israel. But for that to happen, a Palestinian leadership that does not share the Hamas-Houthi mindset must be in charge, and I am skeptical of seeing such a leadership on the near horizon.
Until we have that leadership, the responsibility is solely Palestinian, and only then can we talk about other options for peace.
As of now, the danger of another Houthi state must be eliminated, and its acceptance must be absolutely out of the question.

🔴 Interesting fact ahead of the weekend:
Jurgen Klopp led Liverpool to the two highest non-fraudulent points totals in Premier League history!
99 points in 2020 and 97 points in 2019. Klopp's also the only manager to reach 90+ points three times without cheating
A true legend of the game
