TRUMP'S BOARD OF PEACE / LT GEN PR SHANKAR / #GunnerShot https://www.youtube.com/live/0x9EBM-I_qQ?si=X7am1Qb2nFHqLmgW via @YouTube #PresidentTrump has invited #PMModi to be part of the #BoardOfPeace . On first look many feel that it is an outlandish proposal. However one has to analyze it against the #UNSC which is ineffective and failing. #XiJinping 's #GlobalGovernanceInitiative is also in the same bandwidth. Hence there is a requirement to analyze this proposal against the larger canvas and take a balanced position and view on it.

INDIA USA RELATIONSHIP : IS THERE A WAY FORWARD? / A #GunnersShot Analysis https://www.youtube.com/live/7FoKpNTYV84?si=afDGG-sHcnXurF57 via @YouTube The #IndiaUSA relationship has been derailed badly since #OpSindoor . Reactionary rhetoric and emotion on both sides does not help. Convergences and binders in this relationship are strong as much as there are huge divergences. However both countries are indispensable to each other. Every global event indicates so. Hence, the need is to find a way forward.

Internal troubles in China are now well documented. They are here for the long term. However, the needle is moving away from China externally. It has lost influence in Latin America post the Usa action in Venezuela. There is a ripple effect in Columbia and Panama. Cuba and Peru are also in line. Its relationship with Iran is on the block. The most significant indicator of China losing its grip is indicated in Cambodia which is also looking to USA hedge its dependence. Interesting days ahead.

Maj Gen Rajiv Narayanan (R) brings his personal experiential knowledge when analysing India Bangladesh Relations. He presents a different perspective of looking at how things are likely to evolve in Bangladesh and how we need to handle the situation. A normal approach will not work. Need to use our politico-economic-cultural-diplomatic leverages to handle Bangladesh which is yet again entering into another torturous phase of its turbulent existence. The internal security grid in areas bordering Bangladesh needs to be tightened to prevent a spill over/ infusion of unwanted hybrid strains emanating from ISI.
