You are looking at the wrong end of the pipe, watch out for @AgnikulCosmos @SkyrootA @Digantarahq @VyomIC_Space @GalaxEye @QOSMIC__Space @inspecity @astrobase_space and many more @INSPACeIND @isro Thanks in a small way to the US too, for closing the immigration pathway and pushing back so much talent to India! Unfortunately the way SpaceX capabilities have been weaponized makes it a suspect company. India and the business landscape here has many problems with the so-called oligarchs and conglomerates, but SpaceX cribbing about being blocked from India because of them is the least of our concerns! We remember the nefarious and infamous “Free Basics” pushed by Facebook and other patronizing, new colonization efforts by US Big Tech. India is not falling for it! You won’t be able to turn Indians against Indians like the British did. But surely it is a great thing for Indian citizens and consumers if some Indian conglomerates are pushing back against SpaceX with the Indian government’s blessings. 🚀 🇮🇳
Unfortunately, we are being blocked by certain oligarchs in order to maintain their monopolistic chokehold on the Indian people. You can guess who they are … This is a crime against the people of India!

The strongest section of Kemi Badenoch's speech so far: "To those who say “unite the right”... we are not uniting with THAT. I don’t want to live in a country run by people who threaten journalists, call veterans traitors and debate whether my mixed-race children are English. "I don’t want to explain to my son, when we’re watching our brilliant England team play football, that some people don’t think our black players are English. "I remember back in the day when Ian Wright and John Barnes were playing - nobody was questioning whether they were English. We certainly didn’t have sitting MPs questioning whether they were English. "We must not let these people take us backwards. That is not the country we are. I don’t know whether you’ve noticed, but I am black. I am British. I’m proud of my country, I’m proud of our history."

And to think, there are still people who support this mad woman's appeal against her suspension from being a doctor in the NHS. They are just as warped as she is.
Until very recently, this dangerous woman was working in the NHS. She’s been suspended for antisemitism. Antisemitism is extremism.

I think Pakistan has turned over a new leaf. That's positive for the region, but the historical revionism turns my stomach.
Pakistan as a source of solidarity & solutions is certainly one way to read history. Another is to recall that the 9/11 Commission described Pakistan’s pre-9/11 relationship with the Taliban as significant and documented U.S. efforts to end its support. Osama bin Laden was later found and killed in Abbottabad in 2011. U.S. and other officials also repeatedly accused Pakistan of providing safe haven or support to Taliban and Haqqani-linked figures claims Islamabad denied or contested. The contradiction became especially clear when the Financial Action Task Force placed Pakistan under increased monitoring in June 2018. Pakistan remained on the list until October 2022. Afghans know this “solidarity” well. After decades in which Afghanistan was shaped by policies associated with “strategic depth,”. Pakistan has carried out large-scale returns and expulsions of Afghans. UNHCR recorded approximately 705,400 returns from Pakistan by 12 September 2026, including about 66,100 deportations. The deepest irony is that ordinary Pakistanis have suffered enormously from militant violence and policies that, critics argue, distinguished between useful and dangerous militants. Authorities report more than 90,000 terrorism-related deaths among civilians and security personnel. So yes, Mr. Secretary-General @antonioguterres the resilience of the Pakistani people deserves admiration. They have endured enormously. But praising the people should not require rewriting the record of the state. Perhaps Pakistan’s greatest contribution to “solutions” would be to stop pursuing policies that help create the problems it later offers to solve.

Saudi Arabia has activated its Mecca Pact defence arrangements. There's a history of Pakistani forces going to the kingdom but this planned Turkish move is something new

Tories have landed a couple of big hitters this conference
“It’s not alarmist to say we may be on the path to another world war”, warns Professor Niall Ferguson, recently on the same train as Boris Johnson which narrowly missed a Russian attack. He says he’s never been to a political party conference before but the Tories are “the only responsible national party when it comes to defence”.

Four years ago today, we were preparing for a normalization conference in Israel. The state department briefed us that the prospects of a Saudi-Israeli agreement was 50%. We had members of congress, investors, and experts from Arab and Islamic nations. Hamas destroyed everything

BrahMos Exports Are About to Cross $600 Million 🇮🇳 Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh says BrahMos exports are headed past $600 million. Growing demand from Southeast Asia is driving this. The Philippines signed first in 2022. India has already delivered around $330 million worth of BrahMos to its Marine Corps. Vietnam followed in May 2026 with a deal worth about $100 million. Indonesia came next in July 2026. That deal is worth $200 million and covers both BrahMos and Astra missiles. The UAE and more than half a dozen other countries are reportedly interested too. 🇮🇳

À bord de la frégate multi-missions Auvergne, j'ai assisté au premier tir du nouveau missile balistique M51.3 depuis le sous-marin nucléaire lanceur d'engins Le Vigilant. Très peu de nations disposent d'un tel savoir-faire. Félicitations à tous les acteurs de cette réussite exceptionnelle : DGA, CEA, Ariane Group, Naval Group et Marine nationale. Votre professionnalisme, votre rigueur et votre maîtrise technique sont la fierté de la France. Ce succès technique est une nouvelle démonstration de la crédibilité de notre dissuasion, dont la pérennité est assurée. Pour être libre, il faut être craint. Et pour être craint, il faut être puissant. Pour protéger les Français dans la durée face aux menaces, j'ai engagé dès 2017 le renouvellement de nos moyens pour les décennies à venir. En dix ans, le budget de nos armées aura doublé. Nos futurs sous-marins stratégiques sont actuellement en chantier. Le programme de missiles stratégiques hypersoniques et manœuvrants, qui équiperont notre composante aérienne de dissuasion, a été lancé cette année. Notre dissuasion nucléaire nous protège et continuera à nous protéger. Vive la République et vive la France.
