Empathy is not hatred. Lacking empathy is apathy. Why are you apathetic to the have-nots whose lives have been shattered just to paint a pretty picture for a 3-day event?

At least 25 shantytowns and multiple night shelters for the homeless were razed to the ground and turned into parks, the report said, adding that the government failed to provide alternative shelters or places for the newly homeless.

This is a failure of the govt and the admin to follow the law and provide alternative shelters for the people made homeless.

Do you prettify your house for guests by kicking out family members and stopping daily-wage family members from earning their living?

Some routes being blocked is not the same as shutting down the capital city of a country. Shutting down the city genuinely distresses people.

Devi, whose home was demolished in one of the drives, said authorities refused to consider documents she showed as proof that her family had lived in the same house for nearly 100 years.

“Everyone is behaving as if they are blind,” Devi said. “In the name of the G20 event, the farmers, workers and the poor are suffering.”

Neither Modi nor his bhakts care a jot for the people of India.

The city will also be put in lockdown for the 3 days of the summit. Schools, colleges, govt and private offices will be shut. Daily-wage labourers, vegetable vendors, and street hawkers will have to go hungry because Modi wants to present a Delhi that doesn't exist. What will happen to anyone needing urgent medical care or an ambulance in the city is anyone's guess.

G20 world leaders travelling to Delhi will be supporting this charade, this curtailing of people's rights, to pander to the Hindu supremacist dictator.

Ukrainians have done the impossible. Their grit and courag have broken the Surovikin line, a defense Russia considered impossible to breach.
Ukraine's freedom from Russian terror and the end of Russia's illegal war on them is nearer now.

Fuck Putin. may the Russians gadaffi him.

AFU are doing the impossible and still making progress.

Slava Ukrayini!

Theres no bending-the-knee in them, no wonder Putin's getting his ass kicked.

At no point have I endorsed poverty.

you absolutely have. read your own comments. you've advocated using Indians to do low-skill (and therefore low-wage) jobs and be used as cannon fodder.

Population is a strength regardless of education. Large populations can vastly cut manufacturing costs for simple goods that do not require technical skills. Large populations can utilize a meat grinder approach to conflicts that smaller nations cannot easily adopt.

Uneducated Indians as cannon-fodder is your idea of 'bulwark against PRC'?

That is not just endorsing poverty, it's godamned racist. and you're lecturing me on being ignorant about 'recent history regarding economic development'??! because I called you out?

I keep trying to give you the benefit of the doubt but you're just too nasty. I'm blocking you

Are they going to try and shoot a missile up Putin's ass?

thanks, I needed that laugh.

Putin's war will come back to bite the Russians who supported it.

Only after their plan to include Russia, Belarus, and Iran in this year's ceremony backfired badly. The Nobel committee has to be made up of right-wingrs or their sympathizers. or people so open-minded their brains have fallen out.

Ukraine has been relentless. Well done, AFU!

She was taken into custody at the home of Jodi Hildebrandt, who owns a counseling business that she says teaches people to improve their lives by being honest, responsible and humble.

Prosecutors allege Franke and Hildebrandt either caused or allowed someone to torture Franke’s 12-year-old son and injure her 10-year-old daughter. Both children were starved and harmed emotionally, prosecutors said.

Umm...

The same things that Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Hungarians, Czech people, and Japanese people made as their economies developed?

how far back was that? how technologically advanced was the world then compared to now? What sort of an ally would such a population be to any developed country? except as slave labour or as the cannon fodder like you had envisaged? Such a people will be a "bulwark against the PRC"?

The same things that Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Hungarians, Czech people, and Japanese people made as their economies developed?

You have some wierd romanticized view of mass poverty. Both you and Modi might be pleased to push Indians back to a stone age ruled by Brahminism and superstitions, but that's not good for my people or my country. Mass poverty is a recipe for misery, ruined lives, crime, oppression, and bonded slavery. So, no thanks. if you like it so much, wish it on your country.

I will repeat myself here, population is only a strength when they're educated, are employed, have buying power in a booming economy else it's a poor country with runaway inflation & the large malnourished majority surviving on subsidised food.

It seems to me that you're arguing for the sake of arguingand have no clue to what you'e talking about, so I'll be ending this here.
