Modi is screwing putin so bad it’s funny. He buys oil in rupees at a steep discount that putin can’t covert to another currency so putin has to then purchase Indian goods and services to get any return. In the rest of the world this is rightly deemed to be idiotic on putins part. No wonder modi is all smiles as he drains Russia dry and putin destroys his military and demonstrates just what a paper tiger Russia is. Putin is killing Russia ... shame. Putin lacks the ability to think strategically and thinks he a grand master. Stay tuned for the next dumbass move by putin you won’t have to wait long
India has a Deep State, too.
And Modi doesn’t run it.
ICE can begin to visit every hotel in Americas to round up all the illegal Indians. The Hotel franchise business will be in serious trouble when deprived of cheap on sit4e living labor.

You seem like the life of the party! What do you do for fun, yell at the neighborhood kids to get off your lawn?
Trump’s had time to remonstrate with Putin since re-assuming the office of POTUS. And so, by now, Trump is surely getting down to brass tacks with the guy. Even maybe calling Putin out personally for things he has said to him that turned out, in time, to be BS.
What do you think Trump is thinking about Putin at this point? Trump has to hate it when people end up wasting his time. Is Putin wasting Trump’s time?
Might be another pic out there with Asif Ali Zardari and Xi doing same
Those 600,000 are the ones that are already here, are they not?
I must admit that I am surprised by the events as depicted. I had thought that Modi was intent on changing the Indian policy that is Brazil like in opposing imports.
I am thus plagued with the belief that Modi is basically a fence sitter. He is unable to move forward because of an intense strong grasp on the past. I’m want to believe that there are powerful internal conservative forces antithical to Modi’s efforts to become a leader in world trade.
India does have very strong businesses and industries that are unable to achieve full potential as a result of internal political opposition.
I believe thqt Modi was just putting on a show. Compared to India, Russia is trivial in potential power on the world stage.
President Trump is a very creative thinker more patient and strategic then probably most give him credit for. His push to end the war Russia started has shown him to be man seeking peace. His bombing iran shows he will also mess you up. I think he starts going after anything that produces income for putin. Hence trying to get the price of oil down and removing Venezuela from the Russian side of the ledger. India probably about to get a lot of h1b holders back.
I don’t think,he specifically said.
From the article:
According to the IIE’s Open Doors data, there were 277,398 Chinese students in this country in 2023-2024, down from a peak of 372,532 in 2019-2020, before the pandemic. Enrollment has been steadily declining in recent years due to deteriorating U.S.-China relations, China’s shrinking youth population, and restrictions imposed during Trump’s first term.
So let’s say there are currently 3000.000 Chinese students in the U.S.already.
Wouldn’t President Trump have to bring 300.000 more students from China to get to his 600.000 goal ?
India is a fundamentally low IQ country, unlike China or Russia.
India is a fundamentally low IQ country, unlike China.

Saying someone is just dumb prevents us from seeing the world through their eyes. Only if you can see the world as they see do we have an opportunity to gain their cooperation.
Finally, the weed smokers got their wish....and peace for the world STILL did not result.
