A high-powered cross-party UK delegation to India led by the Commons Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, and his deputy has been called off at the last minute in a sign of a growing rift over India’s refusal to distance itself from the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

India s facing off against China. The USA at one time was willing to step in to supply india arms and intelligence. The Quad was formed.
All that is in question now with Biden’s idiotic sanctions policies. Dumb man doing dumb things gets bad outcomes.
Hunter Biden DID help secure millions in funding for US contractor in Ukraine specializing in deadly pathogen research, laptop emails reveal, raising more questions about the disgraced son of then vice president
Just put a fork into it already.
Democrat Candidates for President
Joe Biden: No: Senile and crooked
Kamala: No: Stupidest VP evah
Hillary: Maybe: She said no: Chances are poor due to age and baggage.
Cory Booker: As in Gillum for president but without the scandal
Buttigieg: He likes to ride trains
Andrew Cuomo: IDK: Nursing home scandal and ongoing Democrat blood feud
Schumer: Possible: It is weak field so he might dip his toe in. If Democrats get routed in midterms it might be more fun to run.
Have to wait and see about other governors and senators.
The field will be 20 to 40.
