China is in a downward spiral, not just economically but socially too. There is a fight between 3 factions - Maoists, Market friendly peeps (Deng faction) and liberals. Liberals have the least clout as they believe in dissolving the CCP. The real fight is between the first two.
CCP Gen. Secy. Jinping is a Maoist and is brutally against the Deng faction which made China what it is today. So under him China is turning into another Cuba, inward looking, opposed to capitalism in both letter and spirit and controlling.
So while most analysts want you to believe that China is set to become the number one superpower in the world, it is actually moving further and further away from it. America sits at that position but it’s story is even worse. That’s in the next tweet.
There are 2 Americas, a democrat America and a republican America and both Americas have nothing in common. This is what leads to complete abandonment of policies whenever the power shifts to the other side. Septuagenarian Biden is clearly a physically and cognitively unfit man.

Every empire has four stages. The last stage is that of decadence, America currently is in that stage. Leftists have taken over the narrative. Its borders are open for all, kids are prepared to be given hormone suppressants, protests are a way of life in America.
America is generating 5.5$ of debt per 1$ of GDP. Its financial institutions are fragile and people restive. The great American story is about to be over, and when I say about to be, I mean a decade and a half, tops. Europe story is already over.
It’s the era of India, a resurgent strong India. An economic powerhouse, a military mega power and a hub of intellect and infinite wisdom. The west has feared that. Communist China has feared that. But some stories happen because they have to happen.
America will crumble under its own weight and China will fall prey to squabbles. India will rise. When something auspicious has to happen, conditions adjust themselves accordingly. Conditions have begun adjusting themselves.

US, Israel and the west had great relations with Iran till it was under the Shah’s rule. After the Ayatollah kicked the Shah out and Iran became an Islamic republic, it became a staunch enemy of the west. Iran went on to become the Shia superpower in the Middle East.
The term Shia is of great importance here because an African American man born to Shia parents was destined to become the President of the United States for two straight terms. Before him, no president thought about normalising relations with Iran.
For the first time Iran was invited to a discussion table causing must chagrin to America’s all weather ally Israel. It even led to Israel’s President give a piece of his mind to the American Congress which was Republican controlled at that time. He got a standing ovation.

Bihar - The El Salvador of India. (A thread)

As I watched an interview of the president of El Salvador with Tucker Carlson on Fox News, I couldn’t help but draw an Indian parallel. It’s Bihar, my home state but I’ll come to it later.
First the background. El Salvador is a poor country in Central America. The economic parameters of the country narrate a sad story of decades of corruption, red tape and an absolute lack of accountability. It is a place where dreams die. But it’s right under the belly of the US.
El Salvadorans have, for decades, dreamed only one dream - get into the US somehow and start a life of prosperity and safety. Most of their families stay in El Salvador itself and they get remittances from the ones who made it.

Joe Biden isn’t exactly a vengeful man, because it takes brains to nurture vengeance. He lost his brains at least 5 years ago mostly due to biological reasons. But his administration is full of vengeful morons. They are trying to “punish” everyone who was “close” to Trump.
Trump was the first non-establishment President of the United States and the threat to the actual establishment i.e. the deep state was real. Like Terrorism is Pakistan’s state policy, encroachment is China’a, starting and continuing wars has been America’s state policy.
What the US establishment can’t afford is Trump2.0, and they are doing everything to prevent the orange man from staging a comeback. And they aren’t just doing that in the US, they are doing it everywhere. Every state head who shared a bond with Trump has a target on his back.

The Red Swastika on the bonnet gleamed proudly.

He was a proud owner of a cute hatchback. He had spent Rs. 8 Lakh for the top variant of the car and another 40K more to give it the accessories it deserved.

“Are Pandit Ji, aap 51 Rs hi le lo na”, he said again.
The ageing Panditji, with a big Vaishnav Teeka on his forehead finished pouring the “jal” near the car from his Tamra-Patra. The process of pleasing the Isht, Gram and Kul Devta was complete.

“Yajman, nayi nayi gaadi khareedi hai, Brahman ko bhi prasann kar do”, he replied.
The man smiled proudly, he was a proud Hindu. He couldn’t help but wonder how beautiful Hinduism is.

“We don’t even discriminate between living and non living things. And every machine is Vishwakarma for us. “, he thought

I’ll use this line on Twitter, he muttered to himself.

Elon Musk a genius. Not a tech genius but a PR genius. Everything he claims, he can do is either a refurbished concept, a failed concept or a concept that’s in the future. But where he really excels is, in marketing himself. He will Outjob Jobs in creating a cultish following.
Meet the Reva, India’s first electric car, its first model released in 2001. Electronic cars have been around for a long time. Musk markets his overpriced EVs as if he invented them. Musk isn’t even the founder of Tesla, he joined one year after the company was founded. Image
Musk markets himself as Tony Stark. Cool guy in a suit working in a high tech lab working on some cool gadget that will save the planet. Most of the people who worship him are millennials purely because he keeps opposing existing ideas while inventing nothing new.

Narendra Modi Stadium and clueless bhakts (A thread).

Remember that Bandhgala suit, that had PM Modi’s name embroidered all over it. Liberals called PM Modi a narcissist, and Modi Bhakts quickly shifted to back-foot. The suit was gifted to PM Modi and he auctioned it for lakhs.
The suit or the auctioning of it were not the take aways from this incident. Bhakts’ almost immediate shifting to back-foot was the net take away from the incident. It was probably for the first time that fans of PM Modi showed how easy it was to shame them into submission.
Most RWs feel the urge to please everyone. Their generous usage of the word “but” is a proof of it.

Okay demonetisation was bad but...
GST caused issues but...
Modi ji may not be the best but...

Sorry “but”, when you’re issuing contradictory statements, you’re pleasing no one.
