It’s not the roads. It’s the selfish animals driving on them. Most drivers see a traffic jam. Germans see a moral responsibility. This is the Rettungsgasse. Under German and Austrian law, you don’t wait for the ambulance to appear in your rearview mirror. You don't wait for the screaming sirens. The very second traffic slows down, the "emergency corridor" must open. The left lane hugs the left. Everyone else moves right. Failure to do this isn’t just a "mistake." It’s a €320 fine and an immediate license suspension. But the law isn't the point, the culture is. They understand that the "center" of the road doesn't belong to them. It belongs to the person who is currently fighting for their last breath. It’s a 40% increase in survival rates because paramedics don't have to fight through a wall of selfish steel.

Important video. Explains how the Iranian establishment has drawn lessons from history where crashing plane have been the preferred means of assassination. @AGDugin @amit14668 @bushrakhanum86 @SatyaHindi @sanfunhindu @RomeshNadir @bkum2000 @NavitaSrikant @jacksonhinklle @amritabhinder @amrit_palsingh

On April 7, APLN Members Gareth Evans and @manpreetsethi01 spoke at an event hosted by the @pnndglobal on proposals for No First Use #NFU policies and their potential role in advancing nuclear risk reduction and #disarmament. Watch the recording ⤵️ youtu.be/_4COBFgNFTA?si…

Looks like Netanyahu is politically finished after Iran’s victory, truly David versus Goliath story. Comparably to 1905 Russia-Japan war. Is Iran the new hegemon in the region? Is the rise and rise of multipolarity. Has Brics found a formidable partner? Smita Sharma and I grapple many such game changing questions @amit14668 @Z_DauletSingh @subtleandloud @amritabhinder @amrit_palsingh

Finally!! Great news. Yet again India's cautious and steady approach ensures sure footing on a road less traveled.

Army Chief of Staff fired: THIS IS VERY BIG. Firing the Army Chief now, and replacing him with a loyalist, is preparation for orders the previous leadership might have slow-walked or resisted. When you fire a service chief mid-war with no stated cause, the real reason is almost certainly doctrinal disagreement — how the war is being fought. It should be noted that the US started bombing Iranian civilian infrastructure today (Iran's largest bridge). A career infantry officer like George, who ran the Army's transformation initiative, would have serious institutional opinions about the feasibility and cost of a ground operation in Iran. If he was pushing back — even through internal channels — that's exactly the kind of friction Hegseth would remove. The likely replacement is Gen. Christopher LaNeve, formerly Hegseth's own military aide — meaning Hegseth is installing a loyalist at the top of the Army during active combat operations against Iran. Hegseth has now fired over a dozen senior military officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. C.Q. Brown, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti, Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Slife, and the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse. Bottom line: This is escalatory. The civilian leadership is systematically removing any institutional brake on military options — this is what the entire purge has been building toward. The George ouster happening simultaneously with Trump's "stone ages" speech is not coincidence. Expect the next two weeks to be the most kinetically intense phase of the war so far.

Had an engaging conversation with friend Ashutosh on the fog of war surrounding Iran. Is Trump bluffing when he talks about quick withdrawal? youtube.com/watch?v=BXRgK4… @amit14668 @Rajeev1421 @Smita_Sharma @sanfunhindu @abhinavpandya @AmbTrigunayat @NavitaSrikant @ASHWINAHMAD3 @rahulkumarindia @Bahut_baloch

China & Pakistan propose five point formulae for restoring peace and stability in the Gulf: #iran #israel I. Immediate Cessation of Hostilities II. Start of peace talks as soon as possible III. Security of nonmilitary targets IV. Security of shipping lanes V. Primacy of the United Nations Charter

Interesting to see how an Iranian professor clinically dismantles Pakistan's duplicity by holding these sham talks in Islamabad. @ashutosh83B @Smita_Sharma @amit14668 @dineshgotti @Namasteankit @NeilClark66

Trump on Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince MBS today: “He didn’t think he would be kissing my ass. He really didn’t. And now he has to be nice to me. He better be nice to me.” This is how the President of the United States describes America’s most important Gulf ally. The same Saudi Arabia that: — Cut oil production by 6.7 million barrels — Whose energy infrastructure Iran threatened to destroy — Who the US needs to keep oil markets stable — Who Trump is asking to join the Iran war Diplomatic relationships are built over decades. Trump just described the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia as someone kissing his body parts — on camera — while asking him for military cooperation. France got an 8 out of 10. Japan got Pearl Harbor. Saudi Arabia got this. The isolation of America is not just a policy failure. It is a daily practice.

"Trump, the Mar-a-Lago golfer, is the only bull in the world who walks around with his own china shop. When a clown takes over the Palace, he doesn't become King. It's the Palace that becomes a circus" French senator Claude Malhuret once again nails it. You won't hear a better indictment of Trump and his Gulf war than this.

This is the world we live in. Trump tightens the noose around Cuba, blackouts kill hospital patients, and the world looks away. Meanwhile, his “favorite field marshal,” Pakistan’s Asim Munir, is feted as Washington’s conduit to Tehran — after ordering an airstrike on a Kabul rehab hospital that killed hundreds. nytimes.com/2026/03/26/wor…

Larry Johnson ex-CIA appears to be spot on. Trump likely to make dramatic announcement on Iran after markets close on 4 PM Friday. Trump has cancelled his some of his major engagements for the weekend--a clear tell tale sign that something major is cooking. @Smita_Sharma @amit14668 @jacksonhinklle @AnkitAneja17 @Ateet_Sharma @CS_Joshii @amrit_palsingh

Is Israel trying to ignite war in Eurasia by targeting Iranian navy in the Caspian jolting Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan? Caspian is the heart of the International North South Tansport Corridor. Iran is already striking Haifa, a major node of IMEC.
