President Dhristrashtra Bows Out, Vice President Gandhari to Step In, Kauravas to Run Amok

Biden is bowing out of the presidential race, and has endorsed Kamala as his replacement.

Very predictably, NeoCon Never-Trumpers who'd supported Nikki Haley are now throwing their money behind Kamala, who is Trump's next remaining opponent

Nikki, as a Republican, has endorsed Trump who is the duly designated party nominee.

But the Never-Trumpers who funded her -- and who are now choosing to throw their money at Kamala -- would not be similarly bound.

The Never-Trumpers are the hardcore NeoCons who play outside normal rules. If there's any political faction I'd suspect of trying to assassinate Trump, it's those people.

Nikki herself is not those people, she's just been a useful tool and a beneficiary of their money, just like Kamala now will be.

NeoCons will want to use idiot Kamala the same way they used senile Biden, to rubberstamp them in their pursuit of more war, death, and destruction.

President Dhritarashtra is now bowing out.

Will Kamala be a blindfolded Gandhari who allows more war?

Will their Kauravas continue to run amok?

US Wants Multi-Polar India (Divide-&-Rule)

My previous post was about how Russia & India both want a Multi-Polar World, which would be good for both countries.

But it seems that the natural counter-strategy of hegemon US is to want a Multi-Polar India (aka. Divide-and-Rule):

Moscow-Delhi Axis and the Multi-Polar World

Alexander Dugin is considered to be the father of modern Russian political and strategic thought. His words for India are worth pondering:

Alexander Dugin on Moscow Delhi axis

"Alexander Dugin argues that the Moscow-Delhi axis is one of the most crucial supporting frameworks of a multipolar world order.

Modi and Putin are currently defining the structure of the Moscow-Delhi axis, one of the most crucial pillars of a multipolar world order. Bharat (also known as India) is a state-civilization. Russia-Eurasia is another state-civilization. Clarifying their relations in terms of geopolitics, economics, and culture is fundamental.

We are all now learning to think in multipolar terms, which is a nonlinear system.

Empirically, I have developed a hypothesis: for the stability of a multipolar system, each pole should have no more than one main opponent. If our main opponent is the West, all other poles should be allies. This principle should guide all others in forming their alliances. Only those who aim to be global hegemons and seek to establish a unipolar dominance can afford to have more than one opponent. However, this will ultimately lead to their downfall.

From a pragmatic standpoint, it is crucial for the hegemon to ensure that other poles have more than one opponent, preferably excluding the West. This strategy makes it easier to control such poles.

India has issues with China and, to a lesser extent, with the Islamic world (mainly through Pakistan, but not exclusively). This drives India closer to the West, with which it also has historical grievances (such as colonialism). Therefore, India needs to understand the logic of multipolarity more clearly, and Russia, with which India has no conflicts, can greatly assist in this.

Russia is currently on the front line of the conflict with the hegemon, making the construction of multipolarity and the promotion of its philosophy our natural mission.

  The reality of "Muslim Brotherhood": Syrians in Turkey face deportation into an unknown future. "You could tell that Turkey wanted to get rid of us Syrians". "Turkey has always used Syrian refugees as a political pawn, whether through its EU-Turkey deal and the billions of euros associated with it, or to exert influence on the reorganization of Syria if the regime were to fall".
