As Parminder Kaur spoke into Google Translate at the Russian army social centre, she broke down and was comforted by the women in the room. The Russians softened at this and fast-tracked her work.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte Thursday suggested that Trump’s tariffs on India led to New Delhi pressuring the Russian President to explain his plan on Ukraine.
This conflict is becoming more dangerous day by day, and the chances of its conclusion seem very low. It has raised a high level of uncertainty in the global market.
The reported destruction of Russia’s strategic bombers isn't just a staggering financial loss but also a profound blow to Russia's military prestige and operational readiness.
Zelenskyy was bold in standing up against a superpower knowing bigger stakes needed bigger bargains and he seemingly fell flat on that front. But there are no free lunches.
Young boys who should be sweating about schoolwork are learning how to corner women. Are we now supposed to add children to the list of people we need to protect ourselves from?
ThePrint’s analysis of all budgets from 1999-2026 shows the years with highest capex as total share of defence budget was the highest under UPA I & II. Multifold jump in pension outlays.
The key to fighting a war successfully, or even launching it, is a clear objective. That’s an entirely political call. It isn’t emotional or purely military.
Is this writer suggesting, Zelenskey should have agreed to the unfair deal on minerals without any guarranty from USA?
He must consult his European leaders & his own people.
A childish headline on a silly argument.
A completely wrong approach is suggestef in this article. Trump is a bully. The way Trump and J D Vance berated Zelensky, it would have been completely abnonormal if Zelensky did not respond the way he did. And the author is really foolish to suggest that India’s dealing with Trump when Modi visited there is good, because it was the most cowardice thing. Modi and India were mocked, insulted, forced to buy useless F35 during the trip and Modi meekly accepted everything. This visit is the worst failure of India’s foreign policy.
Zelensky has been played by the European Union. The EU leaders egged him on to fight the Russians instead of seeking a diplomatic solution. Once the war started, EU turned to the USA for help. It became clear that the EU had neither the financial nor the military strength to take on the mighty Russians. All along, the EU had been bluffing – thanks to the NATO alliance with USA. Now that the war had started, EU thought the Americans would be rushing in to help “liberate” Ukraine – just like they did in WW-II.
Unfortunately for the EU, President Trump had seen through the trickery and mischief-mongering of the EU nations during his first tenure. The American taxpayer has wisened over the years and now, refuses to shoulder the financial burden of the Ukraine war. Neither is the US willing to risk it’s soldiers in the conflict.
Having made tall promises to Zelensky, the EU nations must now walk the talk. They should fund the war effort out of their own tax collections and also send their own troops to the frontline to fight the Russians. The world will now get to know exactly how strong the EU nations (all of them loudmouths) are.
There is nothing bold about his performance. Two giant egos clashing. But Zelensky doesn’t hold any cards. And he made the mistake of subtly threatening Trump.
As for the EU, what role can they play? Their economy is sinking, manufacturing is declining, and can barely muster up a fighting force. They are wholly dependent on the US.
If the EU decides to go all in on Project Ukraine then that will be the end of both groups. And whatever remains of the EU afterwards will be picked apart by the US and China (economic wise).
