#SanctionMania
America & Americans are nuts..
* First, NATO, EU, USA keep pushing Russia to a corner, till it attacks Ukraine.

* American think-tankers like John Mearsheimer predicted & cautioned America OF THIS CONFLICT 6 YEARS AGO.

m.economictimes.com/industry/energ…
* From February till now Europe has been guzzling Russian gas & oil. No sanctions.

* Iran is already under sanctions. Now US wants to pose secondary sanctions.

* Why should India & its people suffer for American stupidity?
If America feels so strongly, why not use its troops to fight Russia directly, instead of using Ukraine as a pawn and propping up its defence industries with American & European taxpayers money? Nuclear Armaggedon? What guarantee that a cornered Putin doesn't set off a bang now?

#LegalisedCorruption

Whether you like @ShekharGupta or not, listen to what he has to say on #ElectoralBonds

* Root of political corruption in India is Electoral Funding.

* This corruption was legalized on 1st April 2017.

HOW?
* Through anonymous Electoral Bonds which also effectively amended Representation of People's Act, Foreign Contribution Regulation Act etc very quietly.

* The challenge to this is listed for hearing on 19th September I.e.TOMORROW.
* In 2019, a 3 Judge Bench of the Supreme Court passed an Interim Order.3 1/2 years has passed since then.

* In the interests of 'transparency', paradoxically each party was to provide a list of donations received to the Election Commission of India..in a sealed envelope!

#Illiberals
The word 'liberal' means "accepting different opinions or kinds of behaviour; tolerant".

In this case, where 3 persons were not even ready to listen to @shaziailmi, much less accept what she had to say, THEY ARE ACTUALLY "ILLIBERALS".

opindia.com/2022/09/libera…
The idiot @AatishTaseer also doesn't know the meaning of liberal. HE SAYS

“These people who are appearing from the New York side who are liberals would never be caught dead with these [BJP] people. So it’s a really, really insidious & sly thing that the JLF leaders have done.”
@shaziailmi spelt it out “And if they are against freedom of expression, of others, or dissenting voices, a voice that is different from theirs [then] they must take a deep, hard look at themselves and examine the hatred and the bias that they have within themselves
