There you have it, a democratic CEO's voice in the sea of Chinese disinformation. La voix de la liberté!
India was just flying random training missions around Kashmir! No combat at all!



This is probably the most unintentionally hilarious thing to say. So it didn't work at all?

It's looking more and more likely that the IAF literally never knew that they were under attack until right before their planes started getting popped. All we need to know is what the hit rate of the PL-15 is and we'll have a good basis for properly learning most of what the May 7 battle has to teach us about modern BVR combat.

I believe that there is no mechanism for kicking members out of these two organizations. Their charters never planned for something like this to happen so they would have to be changed beforehand. It's something that has weakened the potential collective voice these organizations can generate.

I remember having seen a forum member here digging up some clauses in the SCO charter regarding membership revocation. IIRC it requires unanimous consent of all members except the one being kicked out.

For the BRICS I am not sure if it has grown up from being like an informal club to a well organized geopolitical group.

Both BRICS and SCO were Russia led when they started. Russia twisted China's arm to let India in. Now look at what happened.

Russia just don't know how to play to geopoltics right despite dominating chess for decades. They only know how to use physical force not even the other types of forces. China realizes this which is why they are focusing on their "No India or Russia" clubs in ASEAN and Central Asia which we see have paid off more. In fact I would argue it has gained more results dealing with individual EU countries than whatever value BRICS creates.

Its time to let go and move on.

You are blaming China for something that's not its fault.

First of all, China does not own BRICS or SCO. To kick India out, there will be due process all the members have to go through.

Then you should know that India, equally as China, is a founding member of the BRICS. China has no greater organizational power than India.

For SCO, it was widely believed that Russia pulled India in to balance out China's influence. Do you honestly think that China, without Russia's support, would even be able to start the process for revoking India's membership in SCO?

Lastly but not the least, as long as India still wants to stay in BRICS and SCO, it will need to behave, even if pretending, in ways that at the minimum are acceptable to all the other members. That is like having some leashes on India and better than letting it go loose in the wild.

Just let them go loose on the wild, and see how they embarrass themselves for the world to see again.

One reason why Western elites like Nancy Pelosi are drawn to the Dalai Lama is because praise and approval from (a politician posing as) a holy man — who they mistake for a legitimate source of moral authority — make them feel better about themselves and the sins they've committed.

Western elites tend to like and want to see themselves as "one of the good guys," which makes the Dalai Lama a popular pressure valve for all sorts of unpleasant and hypocritical characters looking to indulge in self-deception:

Though the Dalai Lama is also popular with run of the mill (religious) conmen

Hmm, what a nice way of delegitimising the Nobel peace prize if it hasn’t already been delegitimised already. That reward is literally toilet paper in this day and age, why on earth anyone would think this deserves any value is beyond me. Also it seems that the country is rapidly descending into anarchy due to Trumps actions or rather the lack of given his golfing during that Texas disaster. The American people are weak, especially when it comes to forcing those in power that do the wrong thing to be accountable for their actions. Before they used to parrot the line the sick man of the east in regards to China, would the phase dying man of the west be an adequate line to used to describe the current state of the nation now. Even now, Trump and his administration is trying to find someone to blame rather then trying to fix anything
