Basic Comparison (illustrative only) between BRICS+ countries & the EU-North America more developed countries.
BRICS+ as the slime-ball amalgamation with probable Chinese exception, and Russia as a second world European state.

I næste måned skal jeg vidne mod den kendte muslimske debattør Mohamed Abdi Kahn.
Årsagen er, at han sidste år kom med trusler mod mig og min daværende arbejdsplads, B.T.
Truslerne kom i kølvandet på, at jeg havde skrevet en afslørende artikel om en topfigur i Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Det fik Mohamed Abdi Kahn til i en kommentar på Facebook at anklage mig og B.T. for at “krænke” og “angribe” det, han kaldte “vores brødre og søstre”.
“Muslimske brødre i DK skal faktisk komme sammen, lave en plan og bekæmpe dem. Vi kan stoppe dem, og det skal vi gøre på den hårde og smertefulde måde,” fortsatte han.
I en anden kommentar skrev Mohamed Abdi Kahn, at “nu søger vi deres personlige informationer og adresser, så vores muslimske brødre kan bruge det”.
“Vi har nu personlige informationer om Claes Kirkeby Theilgaard og de bliver snart offentliggjort til relevante personer,” skrev han kort herefter.
De kommentarer har nu ført til, at Mohamed Abdi Kahn er tiltalt for offentlig tilskyndelse til forbrydelse efter straffelovens paragraf 136, stk. 1.
Retssagen finder sted den 27. oktober, og anklagemyndigheden går efter fængselsstraf.
Men uanset hvad retten måtte nå frem til, er jeg glad for at leve i et land, hvor myndighederne tager den her slags sager alvorligt.
Desværre er Mohamed Abdi Kahns trussel blot en ud af flere, jeg har modtaget som følge af mit journalistiske arbejde.
Personligt har jeg for længe siden besluttet mig for, at jeg ikke vil lade mig kue.
Derfor fortsætter jeg også ufortrødent.
Jeg håber, at du vil følge med! #dkpol #dkmedier
The "administrative penalties" go towards marking China's transition towards a rule-based governance that isn't whimsical, arbitrary and based upon some official or politician's personal fiat/decry or the often "Harem-Bedroom extensions in public life" common to 3rd-4th worlds.
The transactional President of US may help in chipping off the "bought" soft-power of US & getting manipulated by all & sundry. Despite strong US cultural influence ("We want to dance with the wolf" statement by a Chinese entrepreneur in Mexico #FlatWorld)
Takaichi bought her way into seeing Trump in New York on the sidelines of her UN address and two days before Xi's meeting.
Taiwan is likely to be a key focus of both Trump’s talks with Takaichi and Xi.
Trump questioned the point of U.S. troops “travelling 9,500 miles to fight a war” and said he saw the $14 billion arms deal for Taiwan as a way to pressure Xi, calling it “a very good negotiating chip.”
These shocking comments about backing Taiwan after his May meeting with Xi in Beijing have Tokyo worried.
Indians, when mimicking multi-party Parliamentary system of representative democracy (sans cognition or awareness of what modern politics entails), were largely driven by awe of colonial booty they imagined self-governance gave them a license to loot - at one's convenience.
India is spending far more on infrastructure, yet private investment has not followed as strongly as expected.
A newly built overbridge in Bhopal has a dangerous 90-degree turn. In Mumbai, a rebuilt bridge ended with a six-foot gap between its new section and the flyover it was meant to meet. These sound like engineering jokes, yet they show how easily project completion can become detached from actual usefulness.
This does not make India’s infrastructure push a failure. China faced its own “tofu-dreg project” crisis during the construction boom of the 1990s. It gradually strengthened supervision and introduced lifetime responsibility, allowing officials and engineers to be pursued even after retirement or transfer. Serious quality problems can appear when construction expands faster than the institutions governing it.
That comparison brings us back to India’s central contradiction. The government has demonstrated an impressive capacity to mobilise money and launch large projects, while weak accountability limits their wider economic effect. When failed contractors continue to receive work and inauguration dates dictate construction schedules, higher public spending may struggle to create the reliable infrastructure that encourages firms to invest. India’s infrastructure boom is real. Its political returns arrive at the opening ceremony. its economic returns depend on how the project performs for years afterwards.

A political map of Bharat given the semantics under the Hingoo Tawa would help everyone. Reminder Alert: Kautilya or Chanakya, the author of ArthaShastra was from Taxila, Pakistan.
France has always been the fly in the soup. Possibly the colonial era thrashings it received made it more stubborn & wretched that WWII drilled in, and the Marshall Aid Plan helped cement. It is typically low-life & incapable but then aligns with Shudraism as its but (in French).
American alliances have survived ugly crises before. But Suez, the Nixon shock or France’s break with NATO command all happened inside a system Washington still wanted to run. Today, the bargain itself is being repriced, how much America owes its allies, and how much it is still willing to pay to maintain the order.
The proposed answer is “allied scale”, allies should become stronger and do more.The contradiction goes deeper. Washington cannot make the old order less reliable, ask its friends to pay more to keep it running, and still expect them to treat American leadership as the natural price of friendship. If they are paying more for the system, they will eventually ask why Washington should still set the terms.
A marriage can survive because of the house, the children and the shared assets. That proves divorce is costly. It tells you much less about what the marriage has become.
The country that once had the strongest incentive to sustain this order is already less willing to bear its costs, yet many still assume that once Trump is gone, the old normal will return. Maybe it will. But a more chaotic world may produce the opposite: the next American president could be even more Trump than Trump. Waiting for the old America to come back may itself be the most dangerous illusion.

Intriguing. Would China invoke the Indus Water Treaty agreement that India lost its case against Pakistan, as a precedent? One doubts if it needs to. Indian state dysfunctionalism overwhelms it inside as it does outside.
Just imagine the reverse scenario. Had India been constructing a 60,000-megawatt super-dam immediately upstream of Chinese territory near a contested frontier, Beijing would almost certainly have mobilized international opinion, emphasized environmental risks, highlighted scientific concerns and portrayed the project as reckless and a direct strategic threat. India has essentially chosen silence where China would choose amplification.
The greatest irony is that India already possesses the evidence needed to reshape the international debate on the super-dam. It does not have to speculate about hidden faults or invent worst-case scenarios. Chinese scientists have documented the active Paizhen Fault, fractured bedrock, weakened foundation capacity, unstable reservoir slopes and seismic history in painstaking technical detail. chellaney.net/2026/09/15/the…

In 2009, The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dived into the sea near Syracuse. He was with his daughter Rosana on the boat. While diving, he felt a light blow on his back.
He turned around and saw a dolphin. He realized that the dolphin didn't want to play but was trying to communicate something. The animal dove down, and Enzo followed. At a depth of about 15 meters, another dolphin was trapped in an abandoned net.
Maiorca quickly asked his daughter for the diving knife. In a few minutes, they managed to free the dolphin, who let out an "almost human cry" as Maiorca described it.
A dolphin can survive underwater for up to 10 minutes before suffocating. After being freed, still dazed, the dolphin, Enzo, Rosana, and the first dolphin resurfaced. Then it turned out to be a female dolphin who gave birth to a baby dolphin shortly afterward.
The dolphin father made a circle, swam to Enzo, touched his face like a kiss, as a gesture of gratitude... and swam away.
After everything that had happened, Enzo said: "Until man learns to respect nature and communicate with the animal world, he will never know his true role on Earth!"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The photograph shows French freediver Jacques Mayol with a dolphin, not Enzo Maiorca. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_M… gettyimages.com/detail/news-ph…

With a Hingoo Tawa regime in place in West Bengal, it will have Hindostani terms & concepts creep in. Except politics, democracy, police, crime, terror, honesty, efficacy, etc. Or socialist, secular, republic, etc. @cpimspeak @cmowbgov but better than @AITCofficial "corruption".

But why was Nepali nationalism equivalent to anti-Indianism to begin with? Not many Indians within Nepal are pro-India to begin with inclu their choice of residence if forced back to India. Like many Indians within India. Intriguing what makes for pro-India & anti-India!

Not really. China merely wants the boundary disputes to be settled to its terms of claims. Jonathan may be merely airing an Indian Five Star recipe smoke contrasted to its street sewer realities. Solve the border dispute & China would be a normal state seeking professional terms.
.@theChinaDude: “Essentially, what Beijing desires is Delhi’s acquiescence to China’s standing as a major power and consequently its regional and global initiatives. India, on the other hand, desires a relationship of equality.”
