Biden's Global Achievements:

- Leave Afghanistan to the dogs and destruction
- Do the same with Ukraine
- Prove to the world that giving up nuclear weapons is a BAD, BAD idea. Have more people scurrying for procuring them.
- Upend Europe's stability and economy

- Reinitiate Cold War (Yes, you'll blame it on Putin, but Putin was around when Trump was there too?)
- Get Russia firmly in China's quadrant
- Get China more confident about taking Taiwan
- With a Quad still nascent, put India is the horns of dilemma

- Leave Israel, UAE & KSA shaky wrt Iran
- Legitimise Iran's ambitions
- Have North Korea shooting missiles daily
- Now South Korea will be seeking nuclear weapons too
- All the above makes China look weaker? Or the opposite?
- Be it Afghanistan, Ukraine...

globally establish US' unreliability

All this in barely a year in office. Nearly 3 more to go.
Now that Putin is the painted Devil, it will be easy to give Biden a miss. But, I wonder how many will realise how much Biden's contributions have been?

they have been beaten and kicked.

Angel, a Malayali student, can be heard saying on a video that she and her friend were pushed and beaten. Adding that the police tried to ram their vehicles into the group of students, Angel said that they Ukrainian soldiers did not care that

students fell.“This is too bad, this is not the way that the Ukraine govt or military should treat foreign citizens. This is not how we expect help,"she said.

Other images and videos showed a sea of students waiting at the border of Ukraine-Poland to cross over into the country.

50 years ago, this week in 1971, the USA threatened India to stop the 1971 war. An alarmed India sent a SOS to the Soviet Union. A story that has been nearly erased from Indian history books.

When Pakistan's defeat in the 1971 war seemed imminent,

Kissinger spurred Nixon to send the US 7th Fleet’s Task Force, led by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, to the Bay of Bengal.

The USS Enterprise, at 75k ton, was the world's largest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the 70s with more than 70 fighter aircraft

A monster. The Indian Navy’s fleet was led by the 20,000-ton aircraft carrier, Vikrant, with 20 light fighter aircraft.

Many nationalists off-late feel that Modi administration is either too slow or not taking any action on dissenters with vicious agenda. Also on political forces abetting anti-India & break India elements within the country because of which, they, they all, have become emboldened.

This thought, I suppose, although looks credible for want of 'visible' action on them despite voluminous evidences of their blatant wrong doings, is purely speculative. I say it is speculative since we do not really know as to what is happening behind scenes.
