Modi’s difficult decision is being made considerably easier by

a) Trump’s tariffs

b) Trump’s cosying up to the current leadership of Pakistan

c) Western recruitment, training and deployment of ISIS-K type thugs to sow chaos around Asia (including apparently Gaza).

Just as Biden brought together Russia and China, now Trump is bringing together India and China. Trump’s achievement is arguably greater, given that India, unlike either Russia or China, was not originally in the crosshairs of any neocon aggression.

Meanwhile, according to Andrei Martyanov, Syria’s (possibly very) interim leadership is now actively seeking a permanent Russian military presence in the country. What will Petraeus say?

Mearsheimer had a good post on just that subject, https://www.lewrockwell.com/2025/10/no_author/ukraine-general-admitted-its-over-the-west-lied-about-victory/

There are dark forces feeding this stuff to the media trying to whip up anti-Russia sentiment.

Trump is mad - we are witnessing in real time a Greek tragedy, of epic proportions and unknown consequences, unfurl on the world. History forewarns us, yet we neglect this ancient wisdom at our peril.

'Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad'

Sophocles

'Woe to those who call evil good

and good evil,

who put darkness for light

and light for darkness,

who put bitter for sweet

and sweet for bitter.'

Isaiah 5:20

Trump is in early stage dementia. No wonder Putin does nothing verbally to provoke him.

You are well informed and reasonable.

However I have to give this a chance because there is no other game in town.

I realize my thinking is wishful, but this does not prevent me from being more hard nosed if called for.

Agree. And time will tell where this all goes.
