What will Turkey do with the zones it has captured eventually? They are now full of SNA troops & relocated people such as Afrin, will they just be handed to Assad in a few years?
If the US continued to push Turkey away, and Europe, while declining in influence, still deals unfairly with Turkey constantly, how do you see Turkey going after Erdogan? I think Turkey could be quite independent & influential and Istanbul a natural centre of finance & trade for Eastern Europe &...
That’s true, I think a lot of people don’t realise just how Westernised a lot of Russian youth is & the middle classes aren’t big fans of Putin either. I studied with some Russian students and they really weren’t interested in global alliances or going to war for Putin. I think if the West...
No one can trust the US anymore, that is clear from the latest moves and actually since 2001.
They ruined Iraq, Syria, Libya and now even their supposed allies like Saudi are just treated as mere cash machines.
I think the US has a declining future here at least for the next century, it will...
I agree with you especially on Dubai. I know so many who regularly travel there and invest there over the years, but UAE makes no statement on Kashmir or Indian abuses. I would much rather go to Kuala Lumpur
You need to do more research. They didn’t ‘pick Diwali date’. The 27th October is a day of protest every year because that is date of Indian army in Kashmir. That’s it, don’t be so sensitive. And if you are worried about secularism you should talk to your BJP & RSS comrades about what they are...
They never admit that someone did wrong in the lynching or riots. You hear them justify Gujarat ‘because the Muslims started it’ or the cow lynchings because ‘they deserved it because they were moving cattle at night’.
And every Kashmir clampdown & siege is replied with ‘what about Kashmiri...
Well then ban all marches because a handful of people out of thousands did that. We may as well just ignore the other protests going on around the World. Indians really dislike free expression unless they agree with it. Some of you defend your own rioters and lynchings because the victim...
What hooliganism? A few people getting a bit shouty is hardly comparable with a state sponsored lynching, they could just move the march a street away from the building,
If you take sides you have to have some depth when the upset party goes against you at some point. Due to our under-developed economy you don’t have the luxury of taking sides as you wish
But our nationals are at risk there if it gets inflamed. The UAE & rest of Gulf probably don’t realise how the Indian media is whipping up division & riot.
They really should think of banning the broadcast of these channels
Because the article says that this is spilling out over into surrounding countries like the UAE, where these propaganda news channels also broadcast.
‘There are concerns that this kind of toxicity can potentially cause social fissures in countries like the UAE also.

What? That is a very strange argument. US has always been a melting pot. If race was the case pure white Soviet Union would have won the Cold War.
If anyone is in decline it is European Nato countries. Just look at Britain today compared to 100 years back
Interesting map, I didn’t realise the extent of Indonesian islands was spread as wide as Continental US. A lot of potential for Indonesia, it will be great to see it prosper and take a bigger role in world affairs.
Smash them to bits in response. They target civilians on purpose because Modi’s sick tactic is to target their properties & houses as they are soft targets.
