Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"If India and the United States work together successfully, we're going to see a 21st century that is prosperous and peaceful," Vance told an audience of a few hundred students, traders, government officials and politicians in Jaipur.

"But I also believe that if we fail to work together successfully, the 21st century could be a very dark time for all of humanity."

India will pursue its own self interest as it always has. It has no interest in interdependency on the US and the irony of the US stabbing everyone in the face, while then begging for help shows how irrational they are. They are at best an unreliable trade partner.

No one can partner with stupidity and chaos.

They will accept direct foreign investment and will gladly climb the manufacturing capabilities ladder as the Chinese have done so successfully. But they will trust the US as much as the trust China. I.e. not at all.

Yes I agree “21st century could be a very dark time for all of humanity.” until these idiots running the US is finally removed. A clueless & weak administration.

Whenever I don’t get what I want that runs counter to America without offering any concession on my side will lead to DARK TIMES!!!

Incredible that Thiel and his ilk see this cynical, uncharismatic sack of door knobs as the future dictator of Neo Feudalist America.

Very Dark Time for us here in the US maybe.

China said fuck you and your 14%. Now he's kissing India's ass.
