Well, isn't this a coincidence? So, um, how you doing? You're busy, I know and I don't want to distract you, please, don't let me interrupt you.

Kasparov (and I apologize if you knew this already) is a major spokesman for Russian Democracy and hates Putin with a goddamn passion (and rightfully so). So actually a great guy to have on.

Awesome on setting it up in the office. Please let us know how people react! Funny enough the first time I noticed India Today was sitting next to a dude on a train and I was thinking, "what is this crazy news?" Well I found out eventually.

Interesting, I didn't know that about Kasparov.

So far, introduced a couple of co-workers to India Today already :) Gonna just leave it on 24/7 unless someone complains. I have the volume real low and captioning on so it's not so intrusive.

So by low volume you mean what would be CNN at normal volume, right? ;)

Yep, Kasparov been firmly committed to advocate for Russian to be an open society with transparency and corruption free government for a while now.

You know they’re back at the war room and I have to be honest I was kind of wondering if I’ve ever chatted with any of these guys on Twitter. I’ve actually come across a few retired admirals generals and air marshals on Twitter and they’re always cool for a discussion on Indian defense policy and generally nice dudes along with casual followers too. I had a really good discussion on Indian submarine development about me feeling they need to expand for a larger nuclear powered force than to keep getting diesels. I got a lot of interesting information from the Indian side of things about Indian naval development.

Also for fun follow a bunch of Indian defense officials policymakers and news channels and check your Twitter l late night eastern standard time. It just lights up with Indian news coverage because of what time it is locally.

You know mad respect to India Today for their discussion of the Holocaust in Ukraine. Well done, respectful, and good use of images from the US Holocaust museum. It’s part of a segment discussing the previous occupation of the Ukraine in World War II. Honestly like I said very surprised to see this, but also very happy to see this coverage.

My supervisor watched that with me and he recounted an Iraq (1990s) war story about a marine in his platoon kicking one because he thought it was a ball.

Luckily he only lost his foot.

Holy poo poo, poor dude. One would think there’d be at least a PowerPoint on how cluster bombs look for people who are actively going to see them.

Honestly, India is one of the few places that someone can get away with hair styles that may have peaked with British Officer Corps in the first half of the 20th century...and still look make it look awesome.
