Isha PoddarJuly 19, 20220

President Joe Biden vowed to support Ukraine "as long as it takes". His administration has spent about $8bn on military aid. In May, Congress passed a $40bn supplemental budget—more than Mr Biden had expected and more than the annual defence financial blueprint of most European allies—to assist Ukraine and deal with the global outcome of the dispute. But after nearly six months of involvement in the fight, with the hope of a long war, even Mr Biden's closest allies are seeking whether America might soon tire of the pressure. The president is more detested even than Donald Trump was at this point in his presidency. Inflation and excessive fuel prices are weakening Americans' spending power. And Republicans are set to make significant gains in mid-term elections in November: they are look...

Sayani ChakrabortyJuly 19, 20220

The biggest democracy in the world, India, boasts of its democratic framework and the system of elections that assures the preservation of the people's right to pick a government of their choosing.

Vikas DeshwalJuly 18, 20220

US Introduces New Legislation To Settle China-Tibet Dispute

Vikas DeshwalJuly 16, 20220

 The "encouraging a bill to the Tibet-China Conflict Act," introduced on July 13, favours the Tibetan people's right to self-determination. It looks to build up "the long-standing, bilateral US policy of encouraging conversion by ensuring that US policy is based on the ideology of international laws and reflects the nature of the dispute between Tibet and the PRC. It may be noted that no formal conversion between the Beijing side and the Dalai Lama's representatives has happened since 2010. "The Chinese Communist Party's capturing of Tibet in 1950 and its suppression of Tibetans ever since set the period for the CCP's ongoing territorial antagonism and human rights cruelty," said Representative McCaul. The Bill Is Divided Into Two Parts: One, "it builds up the basis for USA support fo
