Russia and China have already allowed a SCO member to be beaten up in front of the whole world, without consequences. And not only to beat up, but also to squeeze a healthy piece of territory and organize ethnic cleansing on it. Do you know Nagorno-Karabakh?

They allowed, of course, not the United States and Israel, but Azerbaijan, which is much inferior to them in capabilities. This, in general, showed the real value of the SCO.
Do you know which countries are a members of the SCO?

By your logic, the US allowed Russia to still occupied Georgia land from 2008, and Russia is much weaker than the west according to you. So ... really shows the value of being a US ally. A bit hypocritical for you to judge.

The issue is that it seems the US has control of the time and place the conflict would happen. Eg. They have more control over Taiwan's political system and thus influence when Taiwan will declare independence. They have more informed over chinas external security environment than the other way around.

That needs to change. China needs to prepare even more so than the US so that when the US is prepared, china would have been prepared much longer.

If the US accuses china of weaponizing space, china should immediately throw the accusation at the US and start weaponizing space right away. Otherwise China will always be just responding and not taking the initiative.

I hope China is doing these things already and are just keeping it under wraps. But China cannot let the US dictate when and where the conflict occurs.
There is a tiny little problem, Taiwan is so close to China that is basically indefensible, is it at range to even the shortests range Chinese ammunitions. China can also makes life difficult to US in other areas, like for example, Israel, which is more important for US than Taiwan or the Baltics in Europe, China and Russia could help Iran to get nuclear weapons faster, making sure that Israel existence is threatened or Russia take over the Baltics. In order to maintain its primacy the US has to project power all over the world, China has only to project all of their power in a island that is on its front door and once they started they are not going to stop.

So much Jai Hind jealousy. Russia's most important friend is China, not India. No amount of ranting and copium is gonna change that.

It may be in New Delhi’s long-term interest that Russia that distances itself from China. Currently, India may not have the geopolitical heft to achieve the same, but it is growing rapidly. Moscow would also need New Delhi to counterbalance Beijing.
Moscow doesn't need anyone to counterbalance Beijing. Both have earned their mutual trust. If your ultimate aim is to separate Beijing and Moscow, then you're taking Russia as a pawn, not a true friend. You Jai Hinds demand that Russia should give your Supapowar India exclusive loyalty. Yet you Jai Hinds two-time with the West. Lol, you loincloth imperialists!

Continued engagement between Indian and Russian leaders suggests a mutual recognition of each other’s importance. Narendra Modi and Vladimir Putin are meeting frequently and coordinating closely.
Russia is treating you like how Russia treats its other "normal friends". Supapowar India is not Russia's bro. China is. Modi's hugs are not exclusive to Putin only, so that does not count as "special treatment". Putin is not flipping pancakes with Modi, or had gifted him ice cream. So, both of them are still not bros.

India’s growing power could position it as a key mediator in future negotiations involving Russia and Ukraine – it is currently among the best placed global players to bring Moscow and Kiev to the negotiating table.
Lol! What have India done to bring Moscow and Kiev to the negotiating table? G20? Modi hugging Zelensky? What has been achieved so far? Nothing!

Wait and watch with maturity, and play your cards wisely is the mantra for India.
WTF? LoL! India had been doing the exact opposite of this mantra. Proclaiming Supapowardom, Akhand Bharat, loincloth imperialism, overseas assassination, boasting about nuking a NATO member, Brahmin genetics, the list goes on. India is already talking about taking over the world when it is still behind Germany in economics, and has a military that could not intimidate Pakistan.

How does one man with a knife cause so much damage?

8 killed and 17 injured?!? At some point, I would he thought a group of people would be able to subdue him!

I saw some aftermath video. If i remember correctly , tt wasn't like a busy city road near a mass of shops, more like campus area where he ambushed people. The reddit advice is to run from a knifer if you have no real weapon since you will get stabbed.

What does Nagorno-Karabakh have anything to do with SCO? Neither Azerbaijan nor Armenia are members of SCO.

Also remember NK invaded SK in 1950s, China did not agree. NK got beaten south of 38 line, China did not intervene. China intervened only after US crossed 38 line. This is similar to how SCO works, big powers will intervene when they see fit, but not being hijacked by other member's act that they don't agree. It is wrong in your thinking that Russia and China will not respond to what US going to do to Iran.

Next is Pakistan with a sizable Shia population that is very pro-Iran. This isn't like landlocked Syria and Iraq; here you have an enemy with it's entire eastern and northern region completely out of your control, major allies next door, a huge pool of fighters to employ.
I'm sorry, what did you mean about Syria and Iraq being landlocked? You want to be taken seriously?

Stabbing Attack on Chinese College Campus Leaves 8 Dead, 17 Injured

Eight people were killed and 17 others wounded in a knife attack at Wuxi Vocational Institute of Arts and Technology in Yixing, eastern China, on Saturday evening, according to local police.

The incident occurred at approximately 6:30 p.m. on November 16, 2024. Police apprehended the suspect at the scene.

Authorities identified the suspect as a recent graduate who was reportedly motivated by frustrations over "failing an exam, not receiving a graduation certificate, and dissatisfaction with internship compensation."

An investigation into the attack is ongoing.

Look like a copycat attack and one of the reason why the media should stop glorifying mass murderers.

That makes a lot more sense then. Sad. They should suppress the news a bit to avoid copycat attacks. That's what's recommended.

I doubt its just Goa. Its actually also all of India. Goa is just a microcosm of the state of tourism for the whole nation.

Russians and Brits who used to visit annually have opted for Sri Lanka instead,”

.

Mukherjee also referenced the “exploitation of tourists” and said even Indian tourists would soon “ditch” Goa in favor of cheaper destinations.
When Indians tourists are no longer as interested in coming to Goa, then it is a crisis.

The biggest complaint was around taxis. Goa had banned Uber and India-based cab aggregator Ola after pressure from local taxi operators. Tourists complained of being charged exorbitant rates by cab drivers.

Visitors on social media also said that Goa lacked cleanliness as the beaches were littered with garbage and lacked order, especially when compared to the beaches in Maldives or Thailand.
Cheating taxis and dirty environment. Not a problem exclusive to Goa as we have seen in numerous travel vlogs.

Responding to the fall in tourist numbers, Goa Tourism shared its ongoing efforts to boost tourism and improve visitor experience.

Goa highlighted the ‘Pink Force’ initiative in place for the safety of female travelers,

, along with its Beach Vigil App that allows citizens and tourists to report illegal activities.
India is a dangerous place for female tourists. More dangerous than even places like Afghanistan. This is the failure of the Indian Police and Indian rule of law. This "Pink Force" is yet another one of those empty talks that doesn't solve anything. Why should women tourists come to India, when India is not serious at all in dealing with its own women safety crisis?

It also said that comparing Goa to other destinations would be unfair as “Goa is a state within India,” whereas Sri Lanka, which Goa is being compared to, “is a country.”
LoL! Goa is still Supapowar India! Shouldn't it be embarrassing for the Supapowar to lose to smaller nations like Sri Lanka in attracting tourists? If Goa had been doing better than Sri Lanka, the Jai Hinds would be boasting about India>Sri Lanka and Akhand Bharat to no end.
