expectations from life are so high that they’re scared they won’t be able to fulfill their family’s needs, and rather than working hard for the same; having no kids is what your whole generation’s combine response is” this man is making sense and i lowkey hate that

I don’t understand the widespread outrage among many Indians over America’s indifferent reaction to the killing of three Indian sailors on a foreign ship. The same voices were recently celebrating India’s deliberate low-key welcome and send-off for Marco Rubio. As if “putting him in his place” was some kind of diplomatic victory that would send a strong message to the United States. It did send a message, just not the one we intended. Marco Rubio is not a junior minister from a minor country. He is the United States Secretary of State, the second most powerful figure in the U.S. administration after the President. There are smarter, more effective ways to register displeasure than a public diplomatic snub broadcast for the world to see. Rubio and his colleagues said nothing at the time. They simply waited for the opportune moment. Some Indian “experts” were even urging Prime Minister Modi to skip meeting Rubio altogether. That would have sent an extraordinary signal to the Trump administration. The hard reality is this: unless you are as powerful as the United States or China, you cannot set your own rules and expect others to simply accept them. You might do so in your own backyard, but not on the global stage. Pretending otherwise is living in a fool’s paradise. Chest-thumping works in election rallies, not when dealing with powers far stronger than you. I’m no admirer of American foreign policy. I never have been. At the same time, I cannot help but envy their brazenness: the ability to send Marines into another country, kidnap a president, and walk away with a clear message that says: “Go fuck yourself. We are the United States. Try and stop us.” The fact that nobody has the guts to stop them explains exactly why they behave this way. Diplomacy is not about feelings or optics for domestic consumption. It is about protecting national interests with clarity, dignity, and realism. You play the game with discipline, communicate firmly but preferably privately, and avoid unnecessary public humiliation. Leave the jingoism and chest-thumping to the general public. I can say what I want because I have no skin in the game. Keyboard warriors can rant freely. But policymakers and those who claim to have the government’s ear cannot afford the same luxury. When dealing with the world’s most powerful country, a dose of cold pragmatism is essential. Publicly embarrassing the Secretary of State was always likely to invite a response. If you want to play in the big leagues, you must learn to absorb a few punches without whining, and worrying about the optics because of your vote bank. And if we think tearing down posters of the U.S. President on the back of auto-rickshaws or burning his effigies will actually send a message to “evil America,” then we are no different from our immediate neighbours to the east and west. Wake up and smell the coffee.

They spent 12 years demanding PM Modi should go soft on Naxalites & Pakistan They are now demanding PM Modi to declare war on the US! You know why? Because they know India can defeat Naxals and Pakistan But they know India would lose to the US They only want India to lose.

The US has had the blockade of Iran in place for a while and has attacked ships that attempted to thwart it. Just because some shady Indian ship owners attempted to make a risky profit doesn't mean the US is going to let them succeed just because India is a friendly nation.

This makes the disproportionate use of force by US Navy and the loss of Indian seafarers ten times worse. Terrible.

Marco Rubio’s remarks widely criticised in India as Delhi-Washington DC ties face worst phase in decades in the aftermath of US attacks on vessels off Oman coast that killed 3 Indian sailors.

BREAKING: America refuses to apologise for U.S. Navy strikes that killed 3 Indian sailors “The Secretary stressed that all commercial vessels should immediately comply with orders from U.S. forces..Violations of the U.S. blockade and illicit transport of Iranian oil with not be tolerated”

🚨 Fox Sports showed a graphic during the match vs Paraguay claiming the United States have 9 wins, 8 draws, and 0 losses in World Cup history. If they're supposedly undefeated at the World Cup, how exactly do they still have 0 World Cup trophies? 🤔🏆

I know this is a stupid American take... but every time I watch soccer, I cannot figure out the limited substitutions rule. Look how tired these players are. Just let them substitute. Think of how slow basketball would be if the same players had to play 48 minutes straight.

The Indian National Congress announces the first phase of a nationwide campaign against paper leaks, exam irregularities, unemployment, and the systematic betrayal of India’s youth by the Modi government. Here is the statement by Congress General Secretary (Org.) Shri @kcvenugopalmp. 👇

If you need to prepare for it, the program is not for you.

yami gautam's cameo in dhurandhar 2 has to be the most forced and unnecessary cameo ever

If this had happened in India after a cricket or football match, we would already be trending worldwide for all the wrong reasons. When it happens elsewhere, it's called "passion," "atmosphere," and "football culture." The double standards are truly remarkable 🤡

Such low hype for the Women's T20 World Cup
