India needs to get a backbone. Stop bowing down to the bullies.

Despite all his stroking Trump, Modi still lands India in a ditch.

First they treated our people badly and now sanctions.

How does sanctions work? Does the U.S seize the funds for the company and individuals? Isn't it illegal?

Trump and all of his key Cabinet members seem to govern by fucking Twitter.
