Do you really think the funding agencies for social sciences in the west have no political positions? By your logic, western interpretation of the history of regions outside the west is all ground truth, since they supposedly have no skin in the game.
What is orientalism?

That doesn't follow at all, because there are many regions and issues that are politically laden for western academics operating within institutions having particular biases, funding for research in certain directions, etc. The question of the Proto-Indo-European homeland and the broader question of how India was populated is not one of those issues. If you disagree then you should explain where the bias or conflict of interest lies and how it translates to favouring one hypothesis for the Proto-Indo-European homeland over another.

It's Russia's own fault, their inconclusive stance between Jaihind and China will cost them dearly, at least I hope Lavrov thinks about the relationship Jaihind and Russia have with a more sober mind after this embarassement.

when you look at twitter feed. every one has connection to West in these events. you hardly see any one from countries that are critical of West. Lavrov is i think Armenian decent so he perfectly understand such audience. Putin use his him for trolling often as too many Armenian in western liberal circles.

Russians should fully know Indians are not as reliable nor trustworthy as Chinese as a strategic partner. Indians laughing at Sergey Lavrov comments.

It strikes me that Russian leadership exhibited a lot of wishful thinking and failing to account for the machinations of the anglos, for instance they calculated correctly that Ukraine would negotiate after the SMO but failed to account for Anglo sabotage and desire to see Slavs murdering and weakening each other.

Similarly, Moscow perhaps hopes that India can be trusted (if only as a counterweight to China) but failed to account for the spiritual usurpation of the Indian soul towards to anglos: Indian elites send their families to the Five Eyes, have their investments and monies in the Five Eyes.
India is compromised and wishful thinking does not serve Russia now nor for its very national survival.

Regarding the east Palestine disaster, why would the free market liberal democratic United stages be doing a very Soviet Chernobyl obfuscation of truth by refusing to trust for dioxin? The same dioxins that WILL result in birth defects like eyeless, armless American babies?

About this Argentine move:
Its an Argentinian stunt. They are rightfully going to be clowned. Let me explain, first you prepare, and then you reveal your fangs to take action. Now, is Argentine prepared?

  • JF-17 order in limbo. And even if they had it, its in too low numbers and probably even then they need something more advanced.
  • Where is their anti-ship weaponry? Air and land based.
  • Argentine is in the IMF's door. And as you know, IMF is West's playground
  • Connected with the previous point, Argentine's economy is dogsht. They should hole up for a minimum of 5 (ideally 10), before they make a real move on the Falklands
What Argentine is doing now is crazy. If you don't have the military and the economy, then don't start going around provoking troubles otherwise you are going to expose yourself as a clown in the world stage. China has Argentine's back on this, but China is also on the other side of the world.

This whole thing stings of politicians trying to win brownie points instead of actually doing real work (JF-17 order and fixing the economy)

Japan isn't a vassal. Japan is an imperial territory.

Whereas vassals might play some games and could be instigated to rebel, imperial territory is more or less the US itself. Asking Japan to rebel against the US is like asking the US to rebel against itself, its impossible

To be honest, US rebeling against itself is possible. We saw it happen in 1861, and we are seeing it happening again. But you are right, Japan rebelling against US is practically impossible IMO unless US rebels against itself first.

Japan is an odd case of a seemingly ultra-stable society. I have not seen another instance of an effective single party state that could survive 40 years of economic stagnation, technological obsolescence, and population crisis. Governments have been tossed out for much less. Just looks at what a single decade of steadly decreasing standard of living had done to the US, not to mention the same caused USSR to completely collapse. It's even more interesting to think that Japan was the polar opposite of that prior to WWII, in a state where far right coups were the norm.

I wonder if affirmative action is banned, can they still know your race/background by your last name? Supreme Court should make admissions as blinded to names, or identifiers of cultural origin.

They already do apply different standards for Asians based on surname. For example, a Chinese surname is much more heavily penalized in admissions than Vietnamese or Filipino surnames.
