🇮🇳🇲🇲 People have repeatedly questioned India's foreign policy and national-security approach towards Myanmar, claiming that India has access only to the Junta, while China has built contacts with almost every major armed group inside the country. 📍The reality is, - India is in talks with the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) regarding access to rare-earth minerals in Kachin State. - At the same time, India has channels with Chin groups along the India–Myanmar border and the Arakan Army in Rakhine. - The fact is, India generally does not try to interfere in every country's internal political structure or decide who should rule them, Unlike Chinese. - India looks at what directly affects its national security and national interest, and works with whoever is relevant to that interest.

🦚 On Krishna Janmashtami, remember that Lord Krishna was not only a symbol of faith, he was also a master of strategy, diplomacy, intelligence and warfare. Krishna understood something geopolitics still teaches us today: wars are not won only on the battlefield. They are won through strategy, alliances, information and knowing when to act. 🙏 Happy Krishna Janmashtami! 🦚🇮🇳 Follow: @SouthBlocReports

Talks with Libya from June, 2026 https://t.me/southblocreports/342

🇮🇳⛽ 🇮🇳 India is quietly diversifying its energy sources, after expanding purchases from Algeria, India is now also looking more seriously towards Libya. India is not replacing Russian oil. India is making sure that Russia is never India's only option. Follow: @SouthBlocReports

🇺🇸🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳 According to sources, Donald Trump has already prepared a few draft social-media posts targeting the upcoming BRICS Summit in India Honestly, someone should probably take social media away from Trump for a while.

Just As We Said - 🇮🇳🇺🇦🇷🇺 : India's FM Jaishankar to Ukraine foreign minister Andrii Sybiha in Kyiv "Ukraine side has its perspective, which we respect, & we have ours, which I would expect others to also respect". This is called absolute "realism in geopolitics" Follow: @SouthBlocReports

🇮🇳 This is exactly why India needs a permanent seat at the UN Security Council: U.S.-designated terrorists such as Saifullah Kasuri and Faisal Nadeem can travel to countries like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, because a U.S. designation does not automatically create a global travel ban. But a UN sanction can make international travel much more difficult. India needs a permanent UNSC seat and greater influence to ensure Pakistani terrorists are not just designated on paper, but face real international restrictions. Follow: @SouthBlocReports

📍And honestly, Indians also do something similar when travelling. We often go to particular tourist destinations, build communities around familiar restaurants, food and businesses, and prefer places where people from our own community stay 📍The same standard should apply to everyone. Foreign nationals from different countries have been arrested in India for visa violations, drug offences and other crimes.

📍A foreign community having its own restaurants and social spaces is not automatically illegal or suspicious. 📍India itself has long-established Jewish communities, including historic Jewish settlements and neighbourhoods in places such as Kerala.

📍But there is another problem with the way this issue is being presented. The nationality of a few individuals cannot automatically become a case against every Israeli visitor.

🇮🇳🇮🇱 There is currently a controversy over Israeli tourists and former or serving soldiers visiting certain areas of Dharamkot and Kasol and the Parvati Valley 📍Just because India and Israel have a long standing strategic and defence relationship. That does not mean any Israeli citizen should receive immunity if they break Indian law. 📍Some people are claiming that they have turned the area into their own town, are preventing Indians from entering, and are using drugs and organising parties. If anyone is illegally preventing Indians from entering public spaces or violating Indian law, that is a serious matter and authorities should take strict action—regardless.

🇮🇳🇪🇪 Estonian Defense Minister Resigns Over €70 Million Ammunition Deal Linked to Indian Company 📍​Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur resigned on September 2, 2026, taking political responsibility after a damning state audit exposed major procurement failures in buying artillery shells for Ukraine. 📍To source ammunition quickly, Estonia's defense agency transferred nearly €70 million in advance payments to Datasel S.R.L., an Italian-registered firm owned by the Indian defense group Neco Defense Munitions. 📍However, neither Datasel nor its Indian parent firm had ever successfully manufactured or sold artillery shells before. 📍With Estonia now forced into international arbitration to recover the €70 million in taxpayer funds, the scandal compounded led directly to the minister stepping down.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡Perhaps the biggest failure of US policy towards Iran is that, 📍US kept treating Iran as a problem to manage for the next few years, while Iran spent decades building for the next generation.

🇺🇸⚡ ​According to CDC - Firearm deaths in the U.S. average 40,000 to 48,000 per year. 📍Roughly 15,000 to 19,500 civilians are killed in shooting homicides each year. 📍About 24,000 to 27,000 deaths annually are firearm suicides 📍Roughly 400 to 500 civilians die every year from accidental gun discharges. 📍50 to 73 law enforcement officers are killed by gunfire every year in the U.S. Follow: @SouthBlocReports

🇺🇸📍The primary reason MQ-9 Reapers are being shot down in increasing numbers is because its reputation was built during the post-9/11 era, which had an environment with zero air defense threats. 📍Against systems equipped with modern Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAMs) and radar, the Reaper is born-to-be vulnerable plus it has no stealth features. 📍​The US military continues to deploy MQ-9s over contested regions despite these losses because it is an acceptable risk trade-off. 📍At roughly $30 million per unit, losing a drone carries no human cost and remains significantly cheaper than risking a $100+ million manned stealth aircraft or a human pilot over heavily armed territory.

🇩🇪⚡ Third Sabotage Strikes Germany 📍On the evening of September 1, 2026, perpetrators targeted the Amprion high-voltage substation in Bergheim-Rheidt, North Rhine-Westphalia. 📍The facility acts as a switching hub linking energy transmission lines from the Niederaussem and Neurath coal-fired power plants to the regional grids. 📍Substation equipment suffered a severe short circuit and ground fault following deliberate external interference. 📍The facility was forced to temporarily disconnect five coal fired power units totaling 4,200 MW of generation capacity, though public blackouts were prevented. 📍German federal authorities and Essen police are investigating potential links to the simultaneous attack in Brandenburg.
