. Fair play to you for putting up a defence of Harris . But Whatever her intentions, her campaign was horrendous. She could not have read the mood of that nation any worse. And now the world has to contend with Trump.
Hard to argue reasonably against a sociopathic liar.

Not a defence. I’d prefer someone that right wing Yanks and right wing NSC’ers deem as vacuous knowing little about her, than a racist, criminal and proven sex offender. Probably far more important than that Trump borrowed off the Russians to save his failed business, since then he cosy ups to the 21 century Hitler/Stalin, evil Putin waging illegal war with executions and rape in another sovereign state.

Anyone here preferring the Putin-Trump ticket over Kamala has an odd moral compass.
Of course Trump is an awful person.

It is worth getting beyond that and trying to understand why they voted for him anyway. They can’t all be stupid racists.

Unfortunately , politically, a similar thing to what happened in the USA last year is brewing here.

So it’s worth learning from the democrat campaign disaster imo.

The 77m who voted for him out of an adult population of 275m, so 28%:
- Included 39m registered Republicans, til death they could never vote for evil liberals.
- yanks hate taxation, Trump portrayed an image of low taxation, small government.
- migrants. As in wider Europe now, THE big issue.

Finally state by state obstacles are put in place of the poor, uneducated and from ethnic minorities in registering to vote. Disenfranchised.

The economy did well under Biden, but in an age of social media lies every government is under attack 24-7. I said to a nsc friend about 4 years ago that nsc’s Labour diehards enjoying the media/social media attacks on the then government, would see exactly the same against Starmer’s future govenment. It took just weeks last autumn for this to transpire.

Trump will have it resolved by tea time tomorrow.
Excellent article explaining Trump’s nonchalant response and why America is unlikely to intervene (not least because in these days of having a transactional motivated leader in the WH, Kashmir has little to offer)


Worth keeping one eye on what is happening in Kashmir but there’s a long way to go before any nuclear sabre rattling might start.

Meanwhile

Apparently the Indian Air Force dropped 1000 onion bhajis and 500 pakoras on Pakistan. That’s just for starters they said.

Interesting thread about the likelihood of use of nuclear weapons



TL;DR version - low but probably the highest likelihood of any conflict since the end of the Cold War. Which is nice.

Trump saves the day.
Good news but not sure why you are giving Trump the credit?

Trump was no where near this - it was Marco Rubio, Secretary of State and JD Vance along with the G7 Countries who have been engaged in talks but mostly it has been the willingness of Pakistani and India to de-escalate after they both made their point.

Reuters is now reporting that residents in India’s town of Jammu are facing drone attacks just hours after the ceasefire between India and Pakistan was announced.
