While the United States spends billions bombing Iran and the world watches oil prices crash, China just published the most consequential economic document of the decade. Nobody is paying attention. That is the point. The 15th Five-Year Plan, unveiled at the National People’s Congress on 5th March, is 141 pages. It mentions artificial intelligence over 50 times. It targets 70% AI penetration across the Chinese economy by 2027 and 90% by 2030. It designates humanoid robotics as a core pillar industry with output doubling over five years. It commits to space-Earth quantum communication networks, nuclear fusion timelines, and brain-computer interfaces. It sets AI-related industries at a target value exceeding 10 trillion yuan, approximately $1.38 trillion. And it declares “extraordinary measures” for rare earths and semiconductor self-reliance. This is not an economic plan. It is a war plan for a war the United States is not fighting because it is too busy fighting the wrong one. The US response to Chinese technological competition is the CHIPS and Science Act, signed in 2022. It appropriated $52.7 billion for semiconductor manufacturing, including $39 billion in direct grants and a 25% investment tax credit that expires this year. It has spurred over $640 billion in private investment across 140 projects in 30 states. It created half a million jobs. By any measure, it is the most significant US industrial policy in a generation. And it covers exactly one sector of an economy-wide technological competition. China’s plan covers every sector. AI across the entire economy. Robotics as industrial backbone. Space infrastructure. Quantum computing. Rare earth processing dominance maintained and strengthened. The CHIPS Act is a rifle. The 15th Five-Year Plan is an arsenal. The rare earth dimension is where the plans intersect with the war. China controls 90% of global rare earth processing. Every F-35 joint strike fighter requires 920 pounds of rare earth materials. Every Patriot missile battery, every THAAD interceptor, every guided munition being expended over Iran at a rate of thousands per week depends on materials that China processes. The “extraordinary measures” in the Five-Year Plan are not defensive. They are the tightening of a supply chain that the US military cannot function without. In April 2025, China imposed export controls on all 17 rare earth elements. The January 2027 DFARS deadline requires the Pentagon to eliminate Chinese rare earth dependency from defence procurement. That leaves a 10-to-15-year vulnerability window during which the United States is simultaneously waging a war that consumes rare-earth-dependent munitions at historic rates and attempting to build alternative supply chains that do not yet exist. The Iran war is consuming the interceptors. China is tightening the supply chain that builds the interceptors. The Five-Year Plan is the document that formalises the tightening into national strategy. Trump posted “Death, Fire, and Fury” on Truth Social. Xi Jinping published a 141-page plan to ensure that the materials required to deliver that fire and fury remain under Chinese control for the next fifteen years. One leader is fighting a war. The other is winning the peace. And the 141 pages that will determine which strategy prevails were published the same week the bombs started falling.

🚨 Telangana Govt reportedly allocated 2,500 sq yards in Shaikpet for a Muslim graveyard through the Waqf Board. — But the Indian Army intervened, claiming the land as Defence property, HALTING the plan.

You will never speak negative again after this short video‼️‼️

Petal Gehlot's excellent narrative description in India's right to reply at the UNGA after the Pak PM's speech is the stuff India should be repeating at 500 interactions across the world, with media, with think tanks and with strategic communities. We need to do this all the time

The vehicle owner asked to fill the car tank. Capacity was 70 litres but 77 litres poured. Upon investigation it was 57 litres only. भारत एक ठगों का देश है। ऐसे नहीं पढ़े लिखे, अमीर, cricketrs, actors, singers, businessman, engineers, entrepreneurs देश से भाग रहे हैं।

Stop writing 5,000-word op-eds dissecting Trump’s policies. There aren’t any. Not in any coherent, ideological sense. What we’re witnessing isn’t governance—it’s raw power as personal gratification, and until we grasp this, we miss the forest for the trees. Trump enters his second term with something close to an absolute mandate, not because Americans embraced his vision, but because they recoiled from what progressive Democrats tried to do to the country. Their attempts to reimagine institutions—from open borders and replacing equality with equity, to criminalizing majoritarian identities—sparked a backlash so strong Trump now rides it like a tsunami. The result? He is, for all practical purposes, king. Republicans prostrate themselves before him. Corporate titans arrive bearing gifts like medieval supplicants. Nations debase themselves to curry favor. This isn’t hyperbole—it’s American politics in 2025. Trump’s “policy” is his pathology: an insatiable hunger for dominance. Born into wealth, luxury lost its thrill early. Money was never the drug—submission was. In youth and middle age, power came through beautiful women throwing themselves at him or allowing him to grab them. The rush wasn’t sexual—it was the cocaine hit of “look how powerful I am.” When that faded, it became financial schemes. The thrill was fleecing others, knowing his presence could separate them from money. Reality TV was the next stage. Firing people on camera, watching adults beg for approval, celebrities competing for attention—power distilled and broadcast for millions. Now comes the final evolution: making nations kneel. Every Republican governor, senator, and media personality speaks the supplicant’s tongue. Tech titans bring golden offerings, praise carefully crafted like medieval court tributes. Internationally, the full scope emerges. Countries that once dealt with America as equals now calculate how to feed Trump’s ego alongside their interests. Pakistan is a case study—a nation whose foreign policy is high art in shoe-sniffing American power. Pakistan formally recommended Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize..They sign deals with Trump-backed crypto companies. This isn’t diplomacy—it’s performance art stroking Trump’s ego while hoping to avoid wrath. The Pakistan playbook spreads. Nations learn the path to American favor runs through Trump’s validation: recommend him for prizes he craves, publicly praise his wisdom, buy into his businesses. Traditional diplomacy—state departments, embassies, international law—are replaced by one chokepoint: one man’s need to be ubermensch. Trump’s arsenal isn’t military might or traditional economic leverage. It’s the presidency wielded as a personal instrument of revenge and reward: prosecute rivals who refuse to bend the knee, impose crushing tariffs on those who don’t genuflect, weaponize government to enforce submission. This is why policy analysts fails. They look for chess when Trump plays a different game—the schoolyard bully. So here’s the question for every nation, especially India: do you bend the knee? The temptation is enormous. Pakistan’s rewards show submission’s lure. Play the game, feed the ego, avoid Trump’s wrath. But this is a test of national character. Some things are worth more than temporary advantage. Some prices are too high—even for peace. The moment will pass. Presidents change, political movements exhaust themselves, pendulums swing back. But national dignity, once surrendered, is nearly impossible to reclaim. The muscle memory of subservience becomes a permanent disability. India must resist the parade of supplicants. Not because Trump lacks power—he clearly has it—but because feeding that power’s hunger costs far more than any short-term gain. Better to weather the storm with dignity than kneel for shelter. The world watches who remembers who they are—and who becomes anyone for the right price.

The rogues @BBCWorld

Hindus it's high time to stand with Sharmishta before it's too late 🙏🏻 #ReleaseSharmistha

Kolkata Police arrested @Sharmishta__19 even after she deleted the video and apologised unconditionally. Hopefully nothing will happen to her because everyone from our side is trying to bail her out. Kolkata Police should be renamed as TMC police. They are doing everything to contribute in Mamata Banerjee's appeasement politics. Shame on TMC!!

I'm never eating Oreos again after watching this

I love it! :D
