Blair is the last person on earth anybody should listen to about war, given his role in the illegal invasion of Iraq. That caused devastation across the Middle East and left our country less safe. Truly learning the lessons means refusing any support for Trump’s war on Iran.

I was in Tehran in May 2025 and was surprised by what Iran looks like, after being indoctrinated with anti-Iranian propaganda over the decades (this was not recorded by me; I think it was Max Blumenthal) - US/Israeli bombing and mass murder are not the path to social reform.

The Iranians are granting visas for CNN to come in and film. Israel is threatening 5 years in jail for anyone who posts footage of the devastation in Israel. Judge for yourself how this war is going...

When unemployment rises, we discover two kinds of politicians—those who call policymakers to develop new policies, & those who call statisticians to develop new statistics.

#OneNationOneElection is a remedy worse than the disease. 🎯 #ONOE reverses the logic of parliamentary democracy, treating dissolution as an administrative inconvenience and subtly shifting India toward a quasi presidential model that weakens legislative accountability. 🎯 It

Nobody is telling you what's ACTUALLY about to break the U.S. economy. And it's not oil. It's the Gulf states pulling their MONEY out of America. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, and Qatar are reviewing EVERY financial agreement with Washington. All of them. At the same time.

Sharp Tongue, Weak Knees This is the only way one can sum up the speeches by EAM S Jaishankar and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri at Raisina Dialogues. Their statements and the Modi government’s record over the past year are completely at odds. I explain in the following
m.thewire.in
S. Jaishankar and Vikram Misri were imbued with Nehruvian ideals and eloquent expression, when they declared strategic autonomy and civilisational pride at the Raisina Dialogue. However, the past...

"Readers add context: _<<similar_ images have been debunked by fact-checkers.>>" This is fraudspeak for: there is no evidence that this particular image is indeed fake, and the U.S.-Israeli side is obviously not going to admit the shooting down.

Hey I know that children are being slaughtered around the clock in Iran but have you considered focusing on the Mayor’s wife’s imaginary reaction to an imaginary crime that I am an imaginary victim of?

Here is Modi's former Finance Secretary revealing the truth, and yet we'll get semi-educated or uninformed Andh Bhakts abusing him + me and our 26 generations!
New GDP series revealed bad news (nominal GDP down by Rs. 12 trillion, >3%). Why did it shrink so badly? Was it knowingly done in 23-24? Worst is 25-26 GDP contracting to $3.8 trillion, making it impossible for India to become 3rd largest economy by 2029.

If India helped USA in any manner to sink without warning an Iranian ship leaving our India-invited naval exercise (as is alleged in this article in The Week) it is a gross violation of norms as the "host country". If true, it's an utter sellout to a murderous duo! We all —
Indian media reporting that the U.S. may have used its cooperative access to secure Indian communications to locate the Iranian ship, which was indeed observing “peace protocols,” which mean it was effectively defenseless https://t.co/eCYM1LqOQx.

‘We Did The Right Thing’: EAM Jaishankar On India Allowing Iran's IRIS Lavan To Dock At Kochi. Congratulations for discovering India's spine & self esteem! India may stay away from this war (though Modi surely backs Israel) but this gesture is great. https://t.co/k8oIfT9WMk
