They’re always the first to demean India & flatter the West, hoping for a nickel or two. Pathetic lot.

You just can't negotiate a good deal unless you are ready to walk away. Yes you can bluff, and get away, but that is not a strategy. That is a prayer. If your bluff is called out, your credibility maybe in tatters for many other negotiations. India must be ready to walk away

The West’s dishonest political & media establishment is in high dudgeon over #Putin’s India visit. Expect ex-colonials who thieved their way to wealth & power to rise in sanctimonious fury.

Russian President Vladimir Putin arrives at 6.30pm for the first India-Russia summit since the #Ukraine war began in 2022. On the table: defence, oil & trade—and a reiteration of India’s strategic autonomy. My @TOIPlus column

You can’t expect honest journalism from @Bloomberg. Look at the quality of their Indian columnists.
The headline of an article by @Bloomberg claims that 'India Clinches $2 Billion Russia Submarine Deal as Putin Visits.' #PIBFactCheck ❌The claim made in this headline is misleading! ✅ No new deal has been signed between India and Russia. ✅ The submarine lease is based on

Trump is driving America to its foundational values: bigotry, war & racism.
The US was once “Third World”: poor, violent & fractured. Trump’s White Christian nationalism echoes America’s foundational values of slave ownership & massacres of Native Americans. My @firstpost column on how those values could return America to its Third World roots

#FPOpinion | White Christian nationalism can return America to its Third World roots For a nation founded on massacres of Native Americans & centuries-long African slave ownership, the lurch towards racism under Trump is not surprising, ✍️@MinhazMerchant

@MinhazMerchant @BorisJohnson @DonaldTrump I think Russophobia has historically been the cause of European animus since the times of Czar Peter in France & UK( the forged will of Peter the great ). The modern Europe needs to get rid of this prejudice for the sake of the future of the future generations of Europe. NATO

Brilliant op-ed by Russian ambassador #DenisAlipov on how Western Europe’s treachery backed by Obama & Biden administrations triggered the #Ukraine war. @BorisJohnson stopped the Istanbul peace deal in 2022. Only @DonaldTrump has read Russia-Ukraine war right.

As usual, govt proposes a bad regulatory idea & is forced to roll it back immediately.#Scindia should have killed pre-installation of #SancharSaathi app mandated by his ministry’s bureaucrats before it was even suggested. The ex-Congress DNA of control, control, control at play?
