#trump has reached the stone age! This post shows the level of frustration he is in, from his failure at the hands of #Iran.
If he is going to attempt those barbaric war crimes of destroying civilian infrastructures, it will create havoc around Persian gulf and the world over.
American citizens; if you have an iota of self respect and humanity left in you, it's high time to throw this retarded president of you into a cellar and lock him up, to save the world!
One good thing #trump has done with his #Venezuela attack and taking #Maduro into prison and with the #Iran attack now is that he just tore off the typical American mask of promoting democracy, human rights etc, which is what the other US presidents, media and liberals always used, and made it crystal clear that it's the oil that is behind all their imperialist attacks on other countries. No more ambiguity!
Government shelves periodic web logout for chat apps, extends SIM binding to December 31However whatsapp is known to have sim binding code already in their app and had been testing it is eventually going to comply with any draconian dictat the government would put in front of them, as India is one of their largest market and the have rolled out the monetization through ads already.
In spite of this delay in implementing this requirement, this should be considered as an opportunity to switch out of whatsapp to more privacy focused platforms like signal.

this is a good interview in #TheHindu on the ongoing US-Israel attack on #Iran, and this part is very interesting. This is becoming a total defeat for #trump & the #US. US removed sanctions on both Russian and Iranian oils. The Strait of Hormuz was open and Iran was not controlling it before the start of this attack and now, #Hormuz is closed and opening it back has become the primary objective of this war!.. Even if Iran opens it, they are going to keep it under control and going to charge a #toll on the ships passing through the #strait. A total defeat for US!
they(Iran)’re selling more oil than they did before at a higher price. Prior to the war, they sold about 1.1 million barrels at $65 with an $18 discount because of the sanctions, meaning $47. Now, at least as of three days ago, they were selling at $110 with a $2 to $4 discount. They’re making more money than they were before as a result of this.www.thehindu.com/news/international/trita-parsi-interview-us-israel-iran-conflict-war-complexities/article70799394.ece
#Trump's Director for National conterterrorism center, Joe Kent, resigns, with this tweet!
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.x.com/joekent16jan19/status/2033897242986209689
Resistance to this atrocious attack on #Iran has started showing its repercussions in the US security agencies. Hopefully the US military will understand the stupidity and audacity of this war and stop from participating in this mindless killing spree.

Tributes to the great mind, who's writings keeps inspiring millions of people around the world and makes them dream of an equitable society.
U.S. offers $10 million reward for information on Iran's supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, senior officials#Trump has no clue why he got in to this war, except he was towing behind #Bibi. Now he is escalating this big time and going to fail miserably. Problem is along with his failure, he is taking the whole world and global economy with him.

This is an excellent article in #TheHindu on the proposed One Nation , One Election process in #India. I had been saying that this is a way of transforming India into a presidential democracy from the current parliamentary system to help concentrate the powers on one man (One nation, one leader!). Something similar to what happened in Turkiye.
This article echos my views.
Articles 75 and 164 establish the collective responsibility of the executive to the legislature. Articles 83 and 172 prescribe only a maximum tenure of five years for legislatures, not a guaranteed term. Early dissolution is, therefore, not a defect but a democratic safeguard, allowing voters to renew the mandate when confidence collapses. ONOE reverses this logic, treating dissolution as an administrative inconvenience and subtly shifting India toward a quasi-presidential model that weakens legislative accountability.www.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/one-nation-one-election-remedy-worse-than-disease/article70719321.ece

The brutality of war measured in children’s lives as hostilities escalate in Iran#UNICEF statement on the killing of 160+ school children in #Iran.
Not that #UN and its associated organsiations has any major influence on the International order anymore. Nevertheless UN organisations taking a moral stand on the atrocities of #US and #Israel is still a ray of hope.
