No, you are right. It's a declaration of war. It means the UK must declare war on Russia immediately. It also means that you need to be the first out on the front line. Less tweeting, and more fighting!

It is not a "social media ban for under 16s" : government knows that is impossible to enforce as VPNs will bypass it. It is an anonymity ban for over 16s, meaning the real target are whistleblowers & journalists who are in danger of arrest for exposing government corruption.

UK is a police state

The Indian desperation to feel acknowledged by the US is the dominant driver here. It's like a little boy who just wants his big brother to play with him too, or when my dog gets jealous of me petting the other dog. Pathetic.

I received several reactions to the discussion I hosted about how nuclear weapons may be used against Europe to restore deterrence. To be clear, this is not a normative argument about what I think should happen or what I think is just. My argument is what I think will happen. European leaders have become so deeply involved in the attacks on Russia that the Kremlin is under great pressure to restore its deterrence. Once Russia retaliates with conventional weapons against European targets (weapons facilities, logistics centres), the Europeans will more forcefully attack Russia. At this point, I believe that it is more likely than not that Russia could launch a limited nuclear strike (with tactical nuclear weapons, not strategic). This should not be a controversial prediction. NATO countries are doing the war planning; their intelligence agencies are doing the targeting; their contractors are pulling the trigger; they are supplying the long-range weapons; and they are also using NATO territory to strike Russia. This will only escalate as the Europeans are talking about mass-producing long-range weapons for "Ukraine" to strike deeper and deeper inside Russia, and are setting dates for when Europe will directly attack. Our political leaders are obsessed with defeating the world's largest nuclear power, which considers itself to be fighting in a war for its existence. It should worry us that our political leaders did not define what a NATO victory looks like in this scenario, and we should also be worried that our political leaders have incrementally become so directly involved in attacks on Russia and still pretend it is merely a war between Russia and Ukraine. Our political leaders sabotaged both the Minsk peace agreement and the Istanbul agreement, and then shut down all diplomacy for more than 4 years while declaring that "weapons are the path to peace". It is obligatory in Europe to pretend this is about "helping Ukraine", but this is dangerous self-delusion. Where exactly did we think this was heading? Is nuclear war not the obvious end? Can anyone imagine it ending in any different ways if we had done this during the Cold War or if Russia were now similarly attacking the US through a proxy? Biden once said that sending F-16s meant World War 3, yet now it has become controversial to point out that NATO clearly crossing the line between proxy war and direct war will trigger a nuclear war. I see no morality in such self-delusion. NATO escalations are now out of control, we are heading to war, and that war will not be limited to conventional weapons. The fact that this is dismissed as a "pro-Russian" argument demonstrates how completely lost we have become in mindless war propaganda. youtu.be/Q8PT0jiemKc

I'm sure the denizens of the 80 nations that have been couped, bombed, invaded & destabilized by the US are really looking forward to another century of the American-led world order.

I checked PM Modi’s timeline expecting at least a word of sympathy for the three Indians killed in a U.S. military strike. There is none. Not a condolence message. Not a public expression of grief. Instead, the timeline is dominated by replies to world leaders congratulating him on becoming India’s longest-serving Prime Minister.

It is a new form of digital colonialism. Foreign accounts use India as rage-bait/validation-bait to farm data & ad-dollars from Indian citizens. Because India has the cheapest mobile data on the planet & 900M internet users, the volume of traffic an Indian audience can generate is completely unmatched. A Western page can post about the GDP of Germany/Japan & it will get standard, predictable engagement from the audience. But if that same page slaps "INDIA" in the headline, especially with a polarizing, provocative comparison, the X algo detects a massive spike. Anyway, the person who made this post does not understand basic economics. They are comparing a Stock (Market cap) to a Flow (GDP). Comparing Nvidia's market cap to India’s GDP is like comparing the estimated resale value of a tech company's stock to the entire physical food & manufacturing output of a subcontinent. Nvidia's actual revenue (~$130B in FY2025) is a tiny fraction of India's economy. If Nvidia had to actually liquidate & turn its valuation into hard cash tomorrow, its value would collapse instantly. We have seen this script play out before in economic history: During the Dot-Com boom of 1999, Cisco Systems became the most valuable company on Earth, surpassing the GDPs of entire developed European nations.Once the speculative market corrected, Cisco's stock crashed by ~90% :)) Also, every time global media mentions India, they automatically pull the stock photo of the Taj Mahal. They completely ignore the architectural & civil engineering marvels of the Kailasa Temple/Hampi/Konark. Sometimes I think if India could impose a "Metric Tax" on global content creators & financial pages, the treasury would be overflowing within a week.

If Indian companies are sanctioned we should reject the sanctions and retaliate by sanctioning European companies doing business with Pakistan, for instance, if the EU doesn’t step back. If we don’t the EU will free to sanction more and more Indian companies. These EU sanctions are illegal under international law.

An Indian Billionaire Was Targeted by Trump. Then He Poured Money Into a Startup Secretly Backed by Donald Trump Jr. propublica.org/article/trump…

Its a massive victory for R&AW chief Parag Jain who spearheaded the ban starlink proposal! India was offered Starlink and sadly some top politicians started getting way too excited about it. R&AW chief Parag Jain who is a technocrat himself had to step in and present a report to the Prime Minister’s Office @PMOIndia highlighting the repercussions and strategic paralysis Starlink could bring along with it. The report underlined how Ukraine’s drone strikes deep inside Russia have changed the way modern warfare works. Smart low-flying drones linked through Starlink can quietly glide past radar and hit deep inside enemy lines. These drones use simple glide technology and AI to fly low, stay hidden, and make last-second target corrections using real-time Starlink feeds. With thousands of satellites in low orbit, Starlink provides fast, jam-resistant connections that even advanced Russian systems struggle to block. The result is drones that act like guided missiles, silent, precise, and hard to intercept. But the same technology that gives Ukraine an edge can also be turned around. Russia has already tested Starlink-style systems on its own Shahed drones. That shows how relying on a foreign satellite network is risky because a single software lock or policy change can cut off entire defense operations overnight. For India, this is not paranoia, it is preparedness. If Starlink becomes the main satellite network here, it could also become a potential backdoor for hybrid warfare. India’s move to build its own secure satellite internet, like through Jio’s upcoming space projects, is the right step. Controlling the signal means controlling the battlefield. Banning Starlink in India is not fearmongering, it is common sense in an age where wars are fought through data, drones, and digital skies.

I had asked about this horrific crime by Israel — using drones to broadcast recordings of crying children so they could shoot Palestinians who were lured — when I first saw it reported in Gaza in 2024. The Biden admin spokesperson saw no evil. The Trump spokesperson hasn’t had a briefing in almost a year. Now Israel is reportedly doing it in Lebanon. Video by @decensorednews

Israeli values are Western values. This is one of the toughest pills to swallow because it demands introspection. It can be too disillusioning even for those critical of colonialism & Zionism. Our countries have monstrous histories and Israel could only have come from the West
