- This is making the rounds on Indian Twitter.
- The godfather of the Quad and Indo-Pacific. RIP legend.
- Hizbul Mujahideen is not a group of "rebels." It is an Islamist terrorist organization. It has been formally designated a terrorist organization by the US government. As well as the EU and India.Indian troops kill maths teacher-turned-rebel commander in Kashmir in.reuters.com/article/india-…
- "India is non-Western. India is not anti-Western."
- I finally applied for the blue tick. Twitter responded: "Not woke enough, try again later."
- Map of the week.
- You lost credibility to speak on the plight of Muslims, Hitler, and Munich when you failed to utter a single word about the detention of 1 million Uighurs in Chinese concentration camps. But India changing the administrative status of Kashmir is "ethnic cleansing"? C'mon, man.The curfew, crackdown & impending genocide of Kashmiris in IOK is unfolding exactly acc to RSS ideology inspired by Nazi ideology. Attempt is to change demography of Kashmir through ethnic cleansing. Question is: Will the world watch & appease as they did Hitler at Munich?
- If we want India to be a partner on U.S. core interests, we must be a partner to India on its core interests, including terrorism. Otherwise, we will be disappointed. Deservedly so.‘China is trying to dominate Asia. We need strong allies and no one is going to be stronger than India,” says U.S. Congressman Rich McCormick00:00
- Mahathir is on a roll this weekend. 1) Kashmir isn't a country. 2) It hasn't been invaded by India. 3) When your thread decries the treatment of Muslims—Palestinians, Rohingya, Kashmiris—but omits the Uighurs in China, we know it's done for political, not humanitarian, reasons.Replying to @chedetofficialThe helplessness of the world in stopping atrocities inflicted on the Rohingyas in Myanmar had reduced the regard for the resolution of the UN. Now, despite UN resolution on Jammu and Kashmir, the country has been invaded and occupied.
- This visa issue with India is an absurdity. Imagine going to get a tourist visa in New Delhi and being told the next available appointment is in 2025. Unacceptable. We need to do better.
- Hyundai commenting on Kashmir. Ben and Jerrys commenting on war and peace. I'm eager to see Huggies Diapers' review of Fukayama's End of History. And Kleenex has a fresh take on the Battle of the Coral Sea.
- Nice to see so many Pakistani officials and experts reveling in the Taliban's victory and covering themselves in glory. I'll do my best to ensure your substantial contributions to this conflict are not forgotten.
- CNN trying to corner an Indian official with gotcha questions. Predictable results. Have you never witnessed the trench warfare of Indian talk shows? This is a walk in the park.I recommend this highly interesting CNN interview with India's Minister of Petroleum @HardeepSPuri in which he covers many important issues related to Russian oil & green transition. He rightfully points out that without Russian oil, prices will only go up
