The Trudeau regime, in cahoots with nameless, faceless Democrats, are now ratcheting up the pressure in response. Kicking away an off-ramp means the gloves are off.

They will always support the largest populations in the world. The US is abundant in fossil fuels which effectively makes it mostly energy independent. China generally extracts more natural resources - coal, oil and metals - from its land than India does. Yet, it remains a major importer. Food security is a major concern for Beijing so significant resources have been deployed through the BRI in Africa and Latin America to secure farm produce. India has an edge in agriculture but remains energy dependent. One of the biggest revolutions India can witness is in the resources space. If it expands onshore and EEZ offshore mining while securing offtakes from overseas, it can to secure the requirements for its labor and industries.

But knowing what to adapt and what to leave pure is essential for building a better society. The anchor here must be objective truths. Should the anchor be adaptability itself, we would look like the US.

https://twitter.com/brittanikollar/status/1587099393999659014US media is not independent. The “fact checking” industry is an extension of the state.
