I would not be surprised if the terrorists had connections to #Afghanistan 🇦🇫 as the government has yet to bring the entire territory fully under their control.

But I would be surprised if #India 🇮🇳 was somehow directly involved as the latter has a military, special forces & nukes. Also, such actions would easily trigger another war, which neither side wants.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art announced today its plans to return three sculptures to the Government of India, following rigorous provenance research that documented that the sculptures had been removed illegally from temple settings.

Your move, British Museum. You may not have anything left after you return everything you stole

A new long-awaited (and long negotiated) trade deal between India & the EU looks to have been pushed over the finish line by the antics of the Tangerine Tyrant.

Its yet one more example of the acceleration of moves to de-centre the USA from many countries' (and blocks') strategic trade plans.

Its not so much these are new moves, but the finalisation of treaties & agreements represents a response that diverts trade away from the USA & will unlikely reverse.
