The world is more dangerous and complex. And dubious cognition.

"Sly insinuations that Democrats are deliberately 'importing' immigrants from the 'Third World' to engineer Republican defeat in elections is going mainstream amid a continuing migrant crisis on the Southern border and racial tensions in the United States," mocked Chidanand Rajghatta, a virulent anti-Republican. Rajghatta is unaware of the problems of unchecked immigration ignored by the Congress party in India. Hindus have been cleansed from Malda and Murshidabad districts of West Bengal so that they have now become Muslim majority districts. Only about 8% of Muslims ever vote for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of Prime Minister Narendra Modi because they see it as a Hindu party, reported BBC. Hindus feel threatened as they are attacked by Muslim mobs,  as happened in the Kaliachak area of Malda in 2016. It is because of this that the BJP has been increasing its footprint in Bengal and could win the ongoing assembly election. Journalists regularly deride views they do not agree with as 'conspiracy theory' or as 'bizarre rant', even if true. Kamala Harris is Vice President to Joe Biden who was Vice President to Barack Obama and is trying to revive the same policies. Since coming to office Biden has concentrated on cancelling all of Donald Trump's policies, showing how petty and vindictive he is. "President Joe Biden says he believes Russian leader Vladimir Putin is a killer with no soul -- and vowed that Putin soon 'will pay a price' for interfering in the 2020 US election and trying to boost the re-election chances of then -President Donald Trump," "Vladimir Putin was reportedly so angered when President Joe Biden called him a 'killer' in his first sit down interview after taking office, the Russian president left his quarantine, got a COVID vaccination and moved 28,000 troops to the border with Ukraine," reported Fox News. Russia warned the US against sending warships to the Black Sea and to stay away from Crimea "for their own good", CBS News. "The United States has cancelled the deployment of two warships to the Black Sea, Turkish diplomatic sources said on Wednesday, amid concerns over a Russian military build-up on Ukraine's' borders," Reuters. Biden's stupid remark could end up dividing Ukraine into two countries. Ukrainians will pay, not Putin. "The story begins in 2014, when Russia suffered the twin shock of a plunge in oil prices, and Western sanctions levelled to punish the Kremlin for invading Crimes," wrote Ruchir Sharma. "After 2014, Putin turned even more defensive on economic policy, focussed on turning Russia into a financial fortress invulnerable to external pressure, including from sanctions. To a surprising extent he has succeeded." "It came as a rude awakening for India when a US warship sailed into India's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) near the Lakshadweep to assert its navigation rights keeping in mind the doctrine of a free and open Indo-Pacific," Outlook. The US Navy defended its action as its right to challenge India's "excessive maritime claims" which was "consistent with international law". That this was done so soon after naval exercises between the two nations could be Biden's stupid vengeance for Modi saying "abki baar Trump sarkar", meaning 'Trump government this time', at Houston in 2019. Naturally, China is delighted at India's loss of face at the hands of the US. To show how tough he is on China, Biden has sent an unofficial delegation to Taiwan which China claims as its province. "The world already seems more dangerous and complex than when Joe Biden took office three months ago," wrote ardent supporter CNN. Living in the US, Rajghatta should forget about 'conspiracy theories' and worry about Biden's cognitive abilities. He has the nuclear button.
