CV and mad panic behaviour

Did they make you stick around for a while after getting the jab?

Yes, you have to wait for 15 minutes and they check on you before you can leave.

The Indians are doing pretty darn well with this....

But heck, too much egg on people's faces, let alone criminal negligence claims, if the powers that be in western nations were to roll over and say heck, we had a fix all along.....

Is this me being Schadenfreude?

Of course, he could be referring to American Indians! :o

The situation in India is tragic and a little terrifying.

When the health system is taxed beyond capacity, death rates will shoot up

It's scary as hell, a shot across the bow of every nation state not taking this situation seriously.

Further, the very last thing we need are nuclear powers damaged and desperate for political and economic survival.

What a lot of drivel.

Put up some data smart alec.

India's death rate  from CV19 is 140 per million.....

#119 in the ranking for most deaths per million....

The claim is 2k folk are dying from CV19 a day in India.

No mention of comorbidities of course....

Did you know, on average, circa 28,000 die EACH and EVERY day in India?

But heck, let's ramp up the MSM hysteria.....it was PNG's turn a month ago (with all of 10 deaths per million).

Now it's India's...

The US has responded poorly to the Indian crisis. Leaving aside the humanitarian aspects, geopolitical considerations should see the US exporting  a considerable proportion of its vaccine production to India, along with medical supplies.

The US is trying to stave off a challenge from China. Obama sought to solidify a bloc of Pacific nations united by the Trans-Pacific Partnership. By offering Asian countries economic incentives, those countries would have an economic reason to join a political union to resist China. But the dumbasses in the US were outraged it didn’t exploit those countries, using the economic power of the US to extract rents that were the privilege of colonial powers. Then Trump made this explicit with his America First agenda. That provided an opening for the Chinese Belt & Road program.

Fortunately, Xi has alienated neighbours with his preference for exercising hard rather than soft power. India had been trying to play both sides of the fence but has been angered by border skirmishes with the Chinese military. It had responded by organising naval exercises in its waters with US & Japanese forces. The Covid crisis in India presents a perfect opportunity to draw India further into a bloc resisting Chinese aggression.

And such an investment would hardly be a wasteful use of US resources when compared to the history of the US putting money into the pockets of dictators. It would be the right thing to do for humanitarian reasons and would benefit the US and the world in the mission to control Covid.

Covid aside, India and China hate each other intensely.

India isn't exactly on my christmas card list either.  Going to India to get married, FFS,  really!?!

I’m not sure love and hate mean much when it comes to geopolitics. The Russia-Germany Non-aggression Pact was a shock given those 2 countries hated each other. Yes, no doubt both countries had their fingers crossed when it was signed and Hitler broke it when he wanted to, but it allowed them to divide up Poland and allowed Germany to take out France and almost Great Britain too. And then 2 obvious enemies, Russia and the US, became allies for the rest of the war.

All true, but reports from the border skirmishes between these two suggest they were particularly vicious.
