Why foreign pipples cutting jokes about how we are telling like that only?
No doubt one foreigner putting up in Amsterdam itself, having a desi missus who has learnt him about how we are doing gupshup, put it on social media like a bullet to cut jokes about us for timepass.
Mind it, we can also cut jokes about foreign pipples. Like Britishers, who are not knowing even to call themselves Britishers, which is their good name, but call themselves British, which everyone knows is only a country that we call Bilayat. What to tell? If we were Britishers our heads would be eating circles and circles.
This foreign mister with desi missus has made listi of what we are telling. Starting starting, the listi has 'Do one thing'. Too very true. We are always telling, 'Do one thing'. If we were to tell 'Do two things', reply would come, 'Why I do two things? You do one thing, I do one thing.' Scientists telling it is division of labour.
Next to next on listi is, 'There is too less salt in food'. It is right to say there is too less salt in food, because all are knowing that food having not too less salt is bad for BP, which will make you admit to hospital.
But why on listi there is item, 'He is my real brother'? Should we tell 'He is not my real brother but fake brother, a fraudster, who by order of higher-ups, and big-big officers should be put under digital arrest today itself'. So what goes it of anyone's father if we tell, he is my real brother?
Last to last on listi, it is telling that we are too much telling 'In India, I can get it for 100 rupees'. We are not mad, okay? Which is also on listi. Why for we are to tell, I can get this for 100 rupees in India? Just goes to showing that these foreign pipples even having desi missus are having too less sense. They are not knowing about one thing called inflation.
Oof, oh! What we are telling is I can get this in India for two hundred rupees only…

UK defence review acknowledges India's role on global stage and Indian Ocean
Britain is developing the bilateral defence relationship with India, including in the Indian Ocean region, in view of the latter's role on the global stage, according to the UK government's radical defence overhaul to meet new challenges and threats. The UK's Strategic Defence Review 2025, unveiled late on Monday, sets out the growing threats faced by Britain, including from China, which the report said is 'increasingly leveraging its economic, technological, and military capabilities' to establish dominance in the Indo-Pacific and erode US influence. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has pledged the largest sustained increase in defence spending since the end of the Cold War, commissioned the defence review soon after he was elected last July in order to formulate a plan for the next 10 years. 'Recognising the role that India plays on the global stage, the UK continues to develop the bilateral defence relationship across a range of shared interests, including in the Indian Ocean region and through capability cooperation,' the report said in its section on the UK's global partners. Also Read: UK announces major military, nuclear revamp for 'war-fighting readiness' | All about the new defence plan The announcement of the UK-India Defence Partnership in February 2025 'represents an important next step for bilateral defence cooperation, focusing on next-generation weapons in the critical area of air defence'. Defence and security cooperation is one of the five pillars of the India-UK 2030 Vision that was finalised in May 2021 and envisages the two countries working together to strengthen efforts to tackle cyber, space, crime and terrorist threats and develop a free, open and secure Indo-Pacific. The 2030 Vision also envisages enhanced maritime cooperation and joint exercises, and defence industry collaboration to develop new capabilities and technologies. The UK's defence review made a passing mention of the relationship with Pakistan, describing it as 'historic' and 'with a shared focus on security objectives'. The defence review acknowledged the challenge posed to Britain by China, saying that it is 'increasingly leveraging its economic, technological, and military capabilities, seeking to establish dominance in the Indo-Pacific, erode US influence, and put pressure on the rules-based international order'. China has 'embarked on large-scale, extraordinarily rapid military modernisation', including a 'vast increase in advanced platforms and weapons systems, such as space warfare capabilities', an unprecedented diversification and growth of its conventional and nuclear missile forces, with missiles that can reach the UK and Europe, and more types and 'greater numbers of nuclear weapons than ever before, with its arsenal expected to double to 1,000 nuclear warheads by 2030'. In the context of the Indo-Pacific region, the defence review said that 'growing Chinese assertiveness is a key driver of regional and global instability'. China's military exercises around Taiwan 'risk dangerous escalation in the Taiwan Strait', while its 'aggressive actions are fuelling tension in the South China Sea'. Chinese technology and its proliferation to other countries was described as a 'leading challenge for the UK', with the country's defence 'likely to face Chinese technology wherever and with whomever it fights'. China is also 'likely to continue seeking advantage through espionage and cyber-attacks, and through securing cutting-edge Intellectual Property through legitimate and illegitimate means', the defence review said. The defence review also described the growing links between Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea as a factor that complicates 'calculations of deterrence and escalation management across regions'.

Who is Nicolas Aujula, whose chilling prediction for 2025 has left everyone in shock
A 38-year-old hypnotherapist and spiritual advisor named Nicolas Aujula, who lives in London, is gaining attention around the world. That's because some of the predictions he made earlier have actually come true, three of them, to be exact. Now, he has made a bold prediction for the year 2025, and it's causing quite a stir globally. While there is no scientific proof behind his visions, Nicolas says he gets these insights through intuition. His latest and most alarming prediction is that a third world war could break out in 2025. He even warned that the UK would not be spared from its effects. Interestingly, a real-world event seems to reflect part of what he foresaw. A Russian Lieutenant General, Yaroslav Moskalik, was recently killed in a car bomb explosion in Moscow. The Kremlin blamed Ukraine for the attack, but Russian media started directing anger toward Britain. They accused British intelligence of supplying explosives for the attack and called for revenge. This turn of events has led many people to believe that Nicolas's warning might not be far off. The year 2025 'is a year where there is a lack of compassion in the world, where we will see horrific acts of human evil and violence towards each other in the name of religion and nationalism,' the Daily Mirror quoted Nicolas as saying. Third world war might be coming Nicolas Aujula has warned that the world could witness horrifying violence by the middle of 2025 the kind that would deeply shame humanity. With the way global tensions are rising right now, his predictions are starting to worry people across the world. Recently, a conflict broke out between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack which made India launch Operation Sindoor. Interestingly, countries like China and Turkey quietly supported Pakistan from behind the scenes. Meanwhile, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war is heating up again. With all these developments, Nicolas's warning about global war is becoming hard to ignore. More Predictions for 2025 For 2025, Nicolas has also spoken of major natural disasters that could hit different parts of the world. He even predicted the rise of new diseases. Given the recent emergence of new COVID-19 variants, his prediction seems to be aligning with real events. Nicolas has also voiced concern about the growing impact of climate change. He believes its effects will become even more obvious and intense in the coming year. He has predicted the political downfall of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer paired with a worldwide surge in inflation. Amid the turmoil, however, he also foresees a moment of reconciliation between Britain's Prince William and Prince Harry. In the US, he believes that President Trump will enjoy a successful year despite legal battles, negative press, and a resurgence of traditional values. In terms of medical advancements, he anticipates progress in lab-grown organs. Why people are taking Nicolas seriously Nicolas Aujula is being taken seriously across the world because many of his past predictions have come true. For example, he had predicted that Donald Trump would make a political comeback in 2024, something that actually happened. He also spoke about the rising influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which we are clearly seeing everywhere today. In the past, he had also foreseen major global events like the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the massive fire at the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement. Since so many of his earlier predictions proved to be accurate, people are now more concerned about what he's said for 2025.

Putin's sickening statistic: 1m Russian casualties in Ukraine
JUNE IS turning into an ill-fated month for Russia's armed forces. It started with a daring Ukrainian drone attack on airfields stretching from Siberia in the east to Murmansk in the north that Ukraine claims destroyed 41 large planes, or about one-third of Russia's strategic bomber fleet. But another, more momentous, statistic looms. Before the month ends Russia will probably suffer its millionth casualty since its full scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, based on current trends of about 1,000 soldiers killed or injured per day. Russia's staggering losses—which far exceed those it suffered in all its wars since the second world war—are a testament to Ukraine's stubborn defence against a far stronger power. Yet Russia's ability to shrug them off and to keep recruiting men to throw into meat-grinder attacks ought to also pose sobering questions for NATO's European members: how can democracies that value the individual deter an adversary so unconcerned about the lives of its soldiers that it will sacrifice them, year after year, in a punishing war of attrition? Russia's human-wave attacks are 'largely useless, grinding stuff" says Sir Lawrence Freedman, a leading British strategist. 'But there are no signs of exhaustion, they are just carrying on." The grim tally of losses comes from figures compiled by the Ukrainian general staff, leaving it open to question. But the number is not far out of line with estimates by Western intelligence services. It also roughly tallies with attempts by Russian independent media, such as Meduza and Mediazona, to count the bodies. By this time last year, Meduza reckoned that between 106,000-140,000 Russian soldiers had died. Much of their analysis was based on inheritance records and obituaries on social media and in other outlets. An estimate of excess mortality among Russian men based on probate records gave a figure of 165,000 by the end of 2024 with 90,000 having been added in the previous six months. Given the intensity of Russian operations for much of the past year it would not be hard to reach a figure of about 250,000 killed by now. The ratio of severely wounded to killed is thought to be about four to one, a reflection both of the severity of injuries in Ukraine and the low priority Russia gives to medical evacuation and the prompt field hospital treatment that saves lives. Another reason to attach relative fidelity to the casualty figures is that, to an unusual degree, they are attributable to those sustained by soldiers in action. In most wars, a high proportion of deaths, even among combatants, are the result of disease, famine, accidents and deliberate persecution of people in occupied territories, which inherently defy the best attempts at statistical accuracy. A good example is the Second Congo War from 1998 to 2003. By far the most lethal conflict of the 21st century, it is believed to have been responsible for 5.4m deaths, most of which were from disease and hunger. In the second world war, out of the nearly 27m Russians who died, some 6.3m were killed in action or died from their wounds. Ukraine does not publish its own combat losses in any detail. However, in December last year, Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, said that 43,000 have been killed and 370,000 wounded since the invasion. That is probably an underestimate. But the relatively smaller number of Ukrainian deaths compared with their enemy reflects a number of different factors. Apart from its ill-fated counter-offensive two years ago, Ukraine has been fighting a largely defensive war. Advances in drone technology have thus far favoured defence over offence. Racing drones packed with explosives, known as First Person View (FPV) drones, that are flown into tanks or soldiers, are playing a similar role to the machinegun in the first world war. That innovation made infantry attacks so costly that neither side could break the stalemate of trench warfare until the development of new tactics and the invention of tanks. FPV drones have made these vulnerable, too. Russia has lost nearly 11,000 tanks and almost 23,000 armoured infantry vehicles since the war began. Now it depends largely on infantry attacks by small groups of men, sometimes on foot, sometimes on motorcycles. Another reason why Russia's casualties are much higher than Ukraine's is that the latter is a democracy and has only about a quarter as many people to draw upon. Thus it has to be seen to be concerned for the welfare of its troops. Its ratio of wounded to killed is thought to be about eight to one. When Ukraine's army has appeared to be indifferent to its troops, its struggles with mobilisation have intensified. Even so, it is remarkable how Russia continues to absorb such staggering losses (it needs to recruit 30,000-40,000 new soldiers each month to fill the lines). To put them into context, Russia's losses to date are on a par with the entirety of Britain's losses in the second world war. They are approaching America's losses in the same conflict, when its population was a similar size to Russia's today. The numbers killed in Ukraine are probably more than four times those suffered by America in the eight years of its direct involvement in the Vietnam war, a toll that led to mass protests. Russia's losses are also about ten times higher than the total number of casualties suffered by the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Whereas Ukraine is fighting a war of national survival, Vladimir Putin, Russia's president has choices. Yet he appears to be under little domestic pressure to call it a day. Having lost most of the mainly professional army that set out to defeat Ukraine over three years ago, the Kremlin has come up with an almost entirely novel way of replenishing manpower at the front without risking social destabilisation. It combines the ideological militarisation of society, by convincing most Russians that they are engaged in a war against an imperialistic NATO and that there is glory in death, with increasingly lavish contracts for those willing to sign up. 'Putin believes that the Afghan War is one of the main reasons that the Soviet Union collapsed," says Aleksandr Golts of the Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies. 'He has come up with a revolution in Russian military thinking. I call it 'market mobilisation', others have called it 'deathonomics.'" The sums being paid to soldiers, the majority of whom come from poorer provincial towns and are in their thirties and forties, are genuinely life-changing for many families. By the end of last year, according to Elena Racheva, a Russian former journalist who is now a researcher at Oxford University, the signing on bonus had reached 1.19m roubles ($15,000), while the average annual pay for a contract soldier was between 3.5m and 5.2m roubles, or up to five times the average salary. If a contract soldier is killed, his family will receive between 11m and 19m roubles. According to a survey last October by the Levada Centre, an independent polling organisation, 40% of Russians would approve of a family member or close friend signing up. Reporting by another journalist, Olesya Gerasimenko, from a recruiting centre in Moscow last summer found that many middle-aged fathers were accompanied by their wives and children when they came to sign on, determined to improve their family's fortunes. Mr Golts says that the impact can be seen in small towns across Russia where recruitment has been most brisk. New houses are being built, smarter cars are turning up on the streets, and nail bars and gyms are opening. For now, believes Ms Racheva, Russian society accepts that the system is an alternative to full mobilisation. There is 88% approval of contract soldiers receiving money and benefits for going to war 'instead of us". For the families of the dead and injured, huge payouts 'alleviate…their grief, such as feelings of injustice … and allow society to avoid moral responsibility for the casualties and injuries they endure," Ms Racheva wrote. In other words, the contract is not just between the soldier and the state. The question which nobody can answer is how long that contract will hold.
