IS 80 THE NEW 60?
I certainly hope so.
“Not only has life span increased on average, but also health span has increased,” said Olivia I. Okereke, M.D., associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and associate professor of epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
“As a result, more older people than ever seem to lead healthy lives, engaged in a full range of activities — including in business, science, politics, and cultural and civic life.”

#UkraineRussiaCrisis @RavikanthS_

RUSSIANS MIGHT BE POOR COMPARED TO EUROPEANS, BUT RUSSIA IS RICH.
Russia’s GDP is smaller than India’s . It’s military budget too.
But it is a very rich country with cash, natural resources, mineral wealth and scientific and technologically advanced capabilities.
Russia’s central bank and private sector have almost $1 trillion of liquid wealth, with a much larger share of this held in U.S. dollars than most people realize, even after the country sold all its Treasuries holdings in 2018, Pozsar wrote.

#UkraineRussiaCrisis @RavikanthS_

WHERE NEXT RUSSIA?’
Today, Putin seeks at the very least a two-tier NATO, in which no allied forces are deployed on former Warsaw Pact territory.
The inevitable negotiations over this and other elements of a new European security “architecture” would be conducted with Russian forces poised all along NATO’s eastern borders and therefore amid real uncertainty about NATO’s ability to resist Putin’s demands.
This takes place, moreover, as China threatens to upend the strategic balance in East Asia, perhaps with an attack of some kind against Taiwan.

#UkraineUnderAttack @RavikanthS_ #RussiaUkraineConflict

John Mearsheimer, a professor of international relations and security at the University of Chicago has for years been cautioning American diplomats to stop pressing for Ukraine in NATO.
He argued that it would be akin to Russia setting up military bases in Canada. Would the USA accept it? We saw how the USA was ready to go to war when the Russians placed missiles in Cuba in 1962.
The mistake the West made was to assume that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia had no great power security concerns. Big mistake!

#UkraineRussiaCrisis

Ukraine: Excellent. The West has been asking for this since thirty years, and Ukraine ever since Obama, Biden and Hilary put their fascist stooges in power there through regime change.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, in 1992, Madeline Lewinsky Clinton began to demonize Russia and put Russia under siege while infringing into its space.
He did this because the US needs Russia as a bogey man to (1) give NATo a sense of purpose and keep it together to make the US look much bigger and more powerful than it is, (2) Keep the US-NATO military Industrial complex ticking over and (3) to keep the US pulp fiction hate…

The Leadership Paradigm: By Example, by Empowerment and by Educating.

India awaits a new Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) 75 days after Gen.Bipin Rawat tragically died in a helicopter crash. It would seem the government is unable to decide?
What should we be looking for in the next CDS?

From bees to dolphins to elephants, many wild animals live in cooperative groups ruled by a single leader. And, as is the case in human societies, these rulers take different pathways to power.
In the animal world, pack leadership is by natural selection. You are born an alpha or you fight for leadership. When it comes to groups’ nature has decided that they are better off led by one or a few. What differentiate these groups are the pathways to leadership.
