Open Thread –

Formerly Brown asked me to post this:

1. Six Ukrainians and one US citizen have been arrested by india while crossing over from Myanmar.  Apparently they were helping to create trouble in Myanmar,  an eventually trying for a Christian state there. Sheikh hasina had sounded about US interests in such a venture.

2. Tamilnadu elections might be closer than expected. Side show: seeman’s Tamil party is attracting Brahmins!! who are opposed to Dravidians.

3. LDF might pop UDF once again in Kerala.  Ironically both fronts are accusing each other of being B team of BJP,  who have 1 seat currently!!!

4. Indian lokasabha is to add 215 more seats reserved exclusively  for women by the 2029 polls. Modi has changed india for ever.

Thank you very much.

On the first point. HM shah has said that these guys are not a threat to India. Looks like wheels with in wheels.

Excerpts from article

According to local media reports, they were tasked with training Indian-designated terrorist groups in Myanmar in drone warfare, which readers can learn more about here.

This is followed by Bangladesh’s post-Hasina “Pakistanization” after its US-backed coup in summer 2024 and then the latest round of Myanmar’s civil war in which the US is suspected of backing anti-government groups but also wants critical minerals from the junta too.

Most Bangladeshis that I know of in the US, Canada and the ones I’ve met in the gulf have been vehemently anti-Haseena, she was viewed as a civilian dictator and puppet of the Delhi establishment. There is still a lot of resentment among Bangladeshis towards her for the killing of student activists and peaceful protestors. I think calling it a “US-backed coup” isn’t accurate and a disservice to the many Bangladeshis who lost their lives and livelihoods to protest and overthrow a corrupt regime that been maintaining its grip on power through stolen mandates and police brutality. Did the Bangladeshi opposition and/or military receive some support from other countries to remove her from power? Perhaps but that’s the norm in geopolitics, it’s also how they gained independence. The 15-years of Haseena/Awaami league rule has been viewed by Bangladeshis as a Delhi-imposed regime.

I know this blog leans openly and heavily towards India, which is fine as its the admins right but the fact remains Haseena was a tyrant to most Bangladeshis and remains incredibly unpopular and most Bangladeshis feel like they can’t heal until she’s been brought to justice for her actions.

An excerpt from a longer article.
The writer is Alon Mizrahi and ex IDF soldier

Iran is not waging a defensive war anymore. But again, this is hard for us to see, and I’m going to repeat this many times until we get this. It is hard for us to see for all our racist stereotypes. Iran is now actively working to reshape West Asia and recreate it in its image, in the image of freedom and independence and decolonization. And what this means is Iran has a plan in place to get rid, listen to what I’m telling you, to get rid of the House of Saud. to get rid of the Gulf monarchies of the UAE and Bahrain and Kuwait.

And Iran’s plan, they will exist not much longer. Iran is not going to stop the war. When these countries, these regimes, which are owned and run and controlled by the US, by Iran’s enemies Iran is not going to be patient and allow them to exist anymore…ordan will also not be allowed to continue existing. This is it. The age of treachery is ending.
