  Three Warmongers of the World are Leading us into World War Three very peace-loving leaders are in fact warmongers. They lead the economically powerful nations (US and China) or technical proficient and resource rich nation of Russia with the power at their disposal enough to annihilate the other two and in the process get annihilated.  The world is on brink of a nuclear war today because US cannot give up its desire to dominate Europe and the rest of the world with its money power and influence. That is unacceptable to Russia and China. This has led to war in Europe with Russia and the United States pitted against each other. It has led to global instability with oil shortages, food shortages, economic chaos and inflation reaching a forty-year high. These economic problems will worsen as the war progresses. Not only in Europe, where the war clouds have gathered, China is doing its best to start a new war in the East with a threat to invade Taiwan. It will invite US re...

 What does economic and political instability leads to in Pakistan With economic and political stability at the bottom of the barrel and floods ravaging southern Pakistan, one can always begin to speculate on what will happen in Pakistan. It probably is getting ready for a the military take over once again. Currently, foreign policy is run by the army. Pretty soon the economy will be in the hands of the military too. All they need is an excuse or an instability that develops with the failure of the civil government or the outcome of the next election, and so on. All the foreign policy changes which came to light with Pakistani Army providing co-ordinates for Zawahiri killing, US right away approving $450 million F-16 upgrade to Old and out of date Pakistani airforce, US voting to allow $6 billion IMF loan, US Ambassador’s visit to occupied Kashmir, two US coast guard vessel visiting Pakistani ports after a lapse of 6 years, Pakistani Army Chief given red carpet welcome at Pentagon ...

 Europe in the Middle of Energy Muddle Did you say that Europe is in the middle of a Gas squeeze, then I agree?  About 24% of the Europe’s Energy requirement is met with Gas piped from Russia to Germany and other central distribution points. Another 34% of Europe’s energy requirement is met by oil, 13% by Nuclear and remaining 30% is met by Coal and renewable sources. Overall, around 58% of the EU's energy needs originate from outside sources. Of this, 24% of gas is made available by Russia in a good commercial arrangement. Over the last 15 to 20 years, gas has reached the EU on multiple pipelines. Prior to Ukraine war, it was a good buddy-buddy arrangement.  The US/NATO never factored Gas supply interruption when they escalated tension in Europe, by trying to Get Ukraine into NATO. The Russian invasion of Ukraine during the spring of this year worsened the situation. If the war was a quick job and the Ukraine was forced to cease & desist from Joining NATO, then today...

 India and the Western Media. The Western media are profoundly anti-Indian. First, we imagined that it is the work of local reporters posted in India; but now it is becoming clear that the media reporters write what they are told to write by higher ups e.g. the Chief Diplomatic Correspondent of opinion maker media outlets of The New York Times or the Washington Post etc. They in fact are in touch with their governments. The same is true of all the British media outlets like the BBC, the Economist, the Guardian etc. All these media outlets have local representatives who are tasked to concentrate more on the negative aspect of India’s rapid economic advancement and or all negative aspects of India’s diversity and ethnicity. It has gone on 75 years since the British were ejected and India became neutral in international affairs. At that time, India was economically weak and the West was making fun of India’s low rate of progress. A real effort to improve relations with the West was ma...
