India Prefers Russia Over America As Military Partner

Turkey is not the only one to invite the US wrath as much as India is as it agreed to by the S-400 missile system from Russia last year. Soon, the US had threatened India with sanctions for choosing its arch rival over itself for military sales. But India will receive its first shipment of the missile systems in 2021 at the cost of rubbing Washington the wrong way.

India has made a purchase deal of $5 billion in 2018. Speaking at the Defense Expo that concluded in India recently, Deputy Director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC), Vladimir Drozhzhov has confirmed that “The contract is being implemented on schedule. The first shipment is due by the end of 2021.”

In November 2019 as well, the same agency cited the general director of Russian state arms exporter Rosoboronexport, Alexander Mikheev, as saying deliveries would start in September 2021.

Turkey also went and changed course when it shook hands with Russia over a similar deal in July 2019. As Ankara moved closer to sign off the deal with Moscow, Washington withdrew its joint F-35 stealth fighter jet programme after realizing Turkey was keener to do business with Russia than its long standing ally the United States.
 America acted like a spoilt child who didn’t know how to get its way with Turkey. Russia was then an opportunist and offered its Sukhoi  Su-35 fighter jets as well.

While Trump is busy gaining brownie points over what good he has done for the American economy, his diplomacy and relations with other nations has been of arm twisting economic politics, showing only semblance of leadership, completely lacking any in reality.

“Iraq is Utilizing What They Have Right Now”

Here’s something good that I want to share with what I read today. It’s about  how Iraq utilizes a decentralized arrangement of administration, the Gulf countries and their organizations can investigate such financial possibilities with different individual Iraqi governorates, directed by the national government. This can likewise make a sound rivalry among Iraqi governorates to offer better costs and more good arrangements with Gulf organizations, as the two sides advantage. For me, Iraq needs huge monetary and monetary support. Monetary guide bundles can just reduce some tension on the present moment. Aside from Iran, there is insignificant territorial interest in Iraq's private area. Tehran's interest in Iraq has not given remarkable monetary advantages, for the most part because of authorizations. Inlet countries ought to investigate Iraq as a feasible competitor for their business ventures, and they can even use Jordan as a middle person to shape a solid financial ternio...
