I find the US think-tank 'Council on Foreign Relations' (CFR) to be more assertive, this think-tank also influences most of US foreign policies.

Its quarterly magazine 'Foreign Affairs' is a top notch magazine for studying International Relations and US foreign policy.
They do have a heavy neolib bent though.

I always chuckle when people state BRICS can rival US or even become anything against US/ Dollar hegemony

Atleast 3/5 countries in BRICS are economic basket cases :smash:

South Africa and Brazil are affixed in BRICS its more token presence. Real deal is if Russia China and India can work in tandem, but unfortunately its never gonna happen. Having said that west supremacy is never returning looking into present situation. I don't know if they have a magic wand where they can teleport us back to colonial era.

Jinka khud ka dharam arabs aur yahudiyon ki dain hove.
Jinki khud ki sanskriti ka koi naam pata nai, jinki sanskriti to bas fertile crescent ke logon ki di hui hai
Ab wo loug kahenge ki santan dharam white men ke dwara diya gaya tha?
Aise log chor aur kapati hote hain jo aapni sacchai jaante hain isiliye dusron ki sabhyata churate hain aur kya

@Blademaster what is this about??
Something related to extra legislation to consider caste discrimination in USA. Possibly lead to reservations in the future or some thing like SC/ST law. SC/ST law might not happen, not before white/black race based law anyways. But reservations is a very high possibility IMO considering Harvard and such schools already do such reservations.
Eyo, apparently, it is an SC/ST law. Check at 9:13 in the below video. Basically there will be a presumption of discrimination and the accused will have to disprove it. This will apply to only "South Asians". It's over bros.

India Americans have enough money to handle such stuff, so why don't they put their money where their mouth is.
If they themselves are not serious, it means they are ready for the repercussions also, if any.

China killed BRICS, it was handled by Brazil-India for a long time. It resulted in some good tangible outcomes, like NDB where all 5 have equal share. Then China launched AIIB to kill NDB.
China has never been interested in BRICS until recently, when it started hyping it as it got increasingly cornered by the west.
Now it wants to add more chini-phile countries to the group and make it fully into a Chinese camp, only for political reasons against G7, G20 et al. India would surely resist that.
Don't see any future for BRICS except being one more talk shop from where we will hear more brainfarts.
West is declining for sure, but the hegemony is not going soon.

HAF is becoming a joke. They are not hard hitting for my taste.

Look at the bright side.

Bright meritorious Hindus will have another reason to not migrate to the US. The aware ones would either move to other countries or move their wealth eventually back to India.

The woke ones there are so far gone that they will only create more disasters.

NDTV sought a response from the Congress on Alexander Nix's alleged meetings with Rahul Gandhi, Jairam Ramesh, and P Chidambaram but received no answer from their offices. A response did come from the party's data analytics head Praveen Chakravarthy. "The Congress party has not engaged Cambridge Analytica or any of its subsidiaries for any election campaigns. This has been re-iterated multiple times in the past," he said.

he said.

Cambridge Analytica's proposal last year to the Congress party promised a "data driven campaign"

"There is simply no need for the Congress party to obfuscate on this matter. It is plain and simple - the party has not worked with the said firm. As regards receiving proposals, the Congress party, by virtue of its standing as a strong national party, receives many proposals from many firms regularly, pitching their services," said Mr Chakravarthy.

Cambridge Analytica has been accused of mining data of millions of Facebook users to manipulate elections in countries including India.

The BJP has accused the Congress of using its services and has asked Rahul Gandhi to "apologise". A whistleblower who exposed the scandal revealed in a tweet that not just the Congress, several other Indian parties may have used its services.

If our boys are really sending them spies, then my respect for BJP skyrockets.

BC, learn from China and Russia. Russia hacks US and its vassals. China sends drugs, steals IP and hacks. They both know US is the enemy and reply to US' subversions in their own way.

What has India done? "Oh, but our trad—" China's trade with US is $1 Trillion. Get over it. We can trade and launch an offense at the same time.
