Things are not exactly cool in Myanmar right now especially as the people have got the news that one of the opposition dissidents seems to have been killed by the security forces during interrogation.this only bodes ill for the peace loving people of Myanmar.we have seen how the security people have attacked the unarmed Buddhist monks recently and this killing is only a manifestation of that.most of the World has rightly condemned what is going on in Myanmar right now.but the opinions of the Asian giants,the ones that really matter in Myanmar and the rest of east Asia,the opinions of both Indian and China has been rather muted.
What is more,both countries have been talking to each other and it seems that both the Asian giants as well as Russia will not only not back any moves to sanction Myanmar but will finalise their own policy as far as Myanmar goes.it is in this light that the soon to be held trilateral conference between India,China and Russia should be seen.all the three view Myanmar as their own neighbourhood and the west should well be aware that any move to recreate an Iraq like move will not just be countered with words but with military might of all of the three nations.by the way this is the second such trilateral conference between the three nations.it is not that all the three want the Military Junta to rule Myanmar,it is just that they want a peaceful resolution of matters and a stable handover of power to a democratically elected ruler.the end game is still on!

The India and the U.S tango!

With the nuclear bill now more sure than ever before the tango between the the worlds oldest and the largest democracies has surely began.the United States is now doing its best to wedge open the door to the indian markets for the american companies all in the name of cooperation and the United States for its part is now looking into the tariffs it currently imposes on Indian imports to the United States mainland.so if you are in the United States,you should not be all that surprised if the prices of the curry leaves were to go down.
But the long term goals of the United States is all to clear,with the nuclear deal now almost a certainity,the United States is doing all it can to contain not just Iran[that is a perk rather than a goal] but rather to make sure that not only does it become a very close allay of the next superpower but at the sme time it is making sure that it contains China effectively.almost all thinktanks agree that within the next decade or so,there will be two new superpowers with huge economies far surparssing that of both Europe and the United States,they are both India and China.
the United States is okay with India being a superpower since it is a democracy but when it comes to China,that is a totally different cup of tea.
I am pretty sure that the chinese thinktanks would have come to the same comclusion that it is being contained slowly but effectively by the United States.which is why all of a sudden,China is acting hostile to India vis-a-vis the Indo-china border in Sikkim.just the day before yesterday,the chinese issued a statement of sorts warning the Indians to remove their bunkers or else...that tone itself should convey everything.it seems that the chinese must have got an advance copy of the 123 agreement before the public did and they were none to happy to see that India will become in effect a Nuclear power without all the legal trappings that being a part of the muclear powers club entails initself.of course,China would love to get coasy with India and make sure that the power and the reign that the UniteD States seems to enjoy the world over is brought to a screeching halt.the Russians would like that to happen for their own reasons.the future does hold some intresting times for us,but either way we look at it,the tango between India and the United States is turning into a quatret of sorts with all sorts of bed partners!

34 Killed and 3 UK troops in Iraq dead!

Car bomb blew up 25 odd people to bits at a busy intersection in Baghdad today.the militant attacks are of late targetting the common man.nowdays it is quite risky to even venture to a street corner to just buy vegetables.you never know if the car silently cruising alongside you is a human bomb.i guess as far as Iraq goes,car truly kills.that was not the end of carnage for Iraq today.about 20 beheaded bodies were found floating downstream,the bodies were probably dumped there by the militants.
And to make matters worse,three U.K troops were killed by a roadside bomb.all in all today is certainly just the same like any other day for Iraq.when is the security for the common man going to improve?that certainly seems to be more of a mirage than a reality especially of late!
