A decade ago, India was a different country. The lack of basic necessities like electricity, bathrooms, and tap water was a harsh reality for millions of people. The daily struggles of women in Indian villages were unimaginable by Western standards. Waking up before sunrise to bathe in a river, fetching water from afar, and cooking in the blistering heat without modern amenities – this was the harsh reality of life for many.
Then, along comes Narendra Modi, promising change and progress. Under his leadership, India has seen a significant transformation. Access to electricity, bathrooms, and tap water has drastically improved, with over 90% of the population now having access to these basic necessities.… Continue reading

The White House confirming that Ukraine cannot hit Russia with ATACMS missiles is a decision that has left many people scratching their heads. Why provide Ukraine with these weapons if they are not allowed to use them to their full potential in defending themselves against Russian aggression? It feels like a classic case of giving someone a tool but then telling them they can’t actually use it.
The public sentiment is laced with frustration and bewilderment at the seemingly arbitrary restrictions placed on Ukraine’s ability to hit Russian targets. The ongoing conflict is a matter of life and death for Ukrainians, and micromanaging the situation to such an extent only serves to prolong the suffering and loss of life on the ground.… Continue reading
Poland has taken a bold step in allowing Ukraine to use Polish-supplied weapons to strike targets in Russia. This decision is not only a show of solidarity with Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression but also a strategic move to safeguard European security. It is crucial to understand the historical context behind this decision, as Poland and other Eastern European countries have been at the receiving end of Russian expansionist tendencies for far too long.
Russia’s blatant disregard for peace agreements and its aggressive behavior cannot go unchecked. By allowing Ukraine to strike back at Russian targets, Poland is sending a strong message that Russia’s actions will not be tolerated.… Continue reading

A shortage could have serious implications for both farmers and consumers. It’s not just about missing out on our favorite potato dishes; it’s about livelihoods being at stake.… Continue reading

After all the suffering and devastation caused by the aggressions of the Kremlin, it’s only fair that Ukraine gets to defend itself with all the firepower it can muster.
Russian forces have shown no mercy in their attacks on Ukraine, and it’s high time they face the consequences of their actions. If Ukraine wants to bomb the Kremlin directly, well, who could blame them?… Continue reading
It’s time for NATO allies to have a serious discussion about directly shooting down Russian missiles and drones over Ukraine. This debate has been ongoing within the alliance, with some members advocating for a more aggressive approach to protecting Ukraine’s skies. The idea of intercepting Russian missiles and drones has gained traction, especially after the US and allies shot down Iranian drones bound for Israel back in April.
While countries like Poland and Romania are very interested in this proposal, the US and Germany have been resistant to it due to the risk of drawing NATO directly into a conflict with Russia.… Continue reading
Moscow warns of escalation after Ukraine was told it can hit Russia. The audacity of the Kremlin to claim that NATO countries are deliberately provoking Ukraine to continue the war they started is laughable. It’s like the schoolyard bully whining when the smaller kid fights back. Russia threatens nukes, yet cries foul when NATO trains for a potential nuclear strike in return. The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.
The Russian government needs to realize that the only way to de-escalate the situation is to stop attacking Ukraine. The fact that they are admitting that Crimea and other occupied territories are Ukrainian by reacting to Western munitions hitting those areas speaks volumes.… Continue reading
