    2020 US election and its Impact on India Megathread

    Most Americans are centralists - and that includes most Democrats. Let the situation in the USA settle down. It is too fluid and taking any stand now can backfire. The best is to sit back and watch. India needs to focus on the domestic situation right now. It is very unlikely that HAL Tejas...

    I think the Hindus of California are resourceful enough to handle something like this. We may weaken their case by interfering in it. Diplomacy works best when it is silent. Noisy diplomacy backfires often. I think the Indian diplomats will find a way of working with the new American...

    2020 US election and its Impact on India Megathread

    You speak too soon. The USA foreign policy has much greater continuity than its internal politics. Let's not show so much pessimism. Indian diplomats must be working hard to bridge the gap with the new Administration. It may take a couple of months, not more. Don't expect anything dramatic.

    Available pointers are not good for Trump. He is not doing well in legal challenges. India will have to focus on the domestic industry for weapons and ammo. This is the biggest takeaway. How will that happen with a military mindset preferring imported equipment is hard to see.

    Well guys we need to adjust to Biden as US President. Likely the Indian government will need a lot of diplomacy in Washington DC.

    2020 US election and its Impact on India Megathread

    There are millions of illegal votes polled in the 2020 presidential election. The number of votes is far beyond registered voters in many States which points to only one possibility - fraud. However, the US electoral system has been susceptible to fraud before and both Democrats and Republicans...

    We can live with Google, f**k the maps. We can live with Facebook too. But not Twitter.

    Twitter needs to be banned in India. This platform is highly dangerous to India's national security. All should fight to get Twitter banned.

    2020 US election and its Impact on India Megathread

    The USA is in deep trouble. The legalization of marijuana and even hard drugs in Washington State are very troubling. I think the new generation (young people up to age 35) which is the most productive segment of the economy is highly crippled. I think Biden as President will see a turbulent...

    2020 US election and its Impact on India Megathread

    True. But elections in the USA used to be supervised by both major parties. What is happening now like Republican observers not given access to counting centers is strange. The biggest issue is to detect double voting and illegal voting. I still think this election will get stuck in courts.

    2020 US election and its Impact on India Megathread

    The USA's elections system used to work despite being decentralized. This seems like a segment of Republicans are in with Democrats to defeat Trump. There is ballot stuffing going on which is funny as it is the USA, not Pakistan. It is sad.

    North Korea is a proxy for China. So such a move is interesting.

    2020 US election and its Impact on India Megathread

    Well, we don't know what happens for sure. The USA has weird state-level laws. Each state has its own board of elections which are staffed by mostly political appointees. This US election is basically a rigged election. Rigged due to Trump not liked by a lot of people. Even some Republicans...

    A paper ballot is never the solution. Electronic balloting is the norm all over the world now. Paper ballots are proven to be easy to manipulate. Just look at neighboring Pakistan where every election is hacked.

    Don't worry. Technically Democrats are better for India due to immigration policies. Military cooperation will continue under Democrats also.

    India has a large diplomatic corps to advance India's cause and a large ex-pat community in the USA. India will continue to have cordial relations with the USA no matter who is the President.

    My Twitter account is back after spending a few hours on the blocked group. Twitter impressions statistics have been scrubbed. But tweets can be seen now. Twitter is able to 'downgrade' accounts or stop serving tweets from certain accounts. I have seen it before also. The silicon valley is...

    2020 US election and its Impact on India Megathread

    There is an article in New York Post showing bribes paid by a CCP agent to Hunter Biden, Joe Biden's son for influence peddling. This is causing an earthquake in the USA. Any account on Twitter referring to that article is being blocked. It is funny that a false case of Russian interference in...

    Covid statistics is of little significance. Trump referring to it is just to score brownie points - like we are honest others are not. It is possible that India numbers are slightly lower than actual but difference won't be much. Some deaths specially in poor strata are hard to assign if Covid...
