China wants to do two things: 1) get the world to build AI models on Chinese propaganda, and 2) flood the global information ecosystem with manipulated data so that even Western models automatically churn out CCP propaganda. nytimes.com/2026/08/17/world…

The U.S. Department of Justice's resolution in the case involving Adani Enterprise brings closure to the ongoing legal matter, which has been a distraction to the otherwise strong US-India economic partnership.
.@AdaniOnline’s commitment to invest $10 billion builds on Ambassador Sergio Gor's recent announcement that Indian companies plan to invest more than $20.5 billion across various sectors in the United States.
At USISPF, we firmly believe these investments underpin Indian companies' desire to be strong partners in the United States. They will build on existing collaboration, further advance job creation, strengthen infrastructure, and boost long-term bilateral economic growth.

Serious escalation on NATO's eastern flank.
Three russian MiG-31 fighters (heavy interceptors capable of being equipped with hypersonic Kinzhal missiles) violated Estonian airspace and approached the capital, Tallinn, to within approximately 5 nautical miles (approximately 9 km).
The aircraft circled there for approximately 12 minutes without a flight plan, transponder, or radio contact.
This was not a mere "overflight," but a provocative approach to a NATO member, which can be interpreted as a test of the Alliance's responsiveness.
NATO responded promptly: Italian F-35A stealth fighters were placed on alert from the Ämari base in Estonia and deployed to counter the attack. However, there was no exchange of fire—the russian jets withdrew as soon as the F-35s were within range.
Three russian MiG-31 fighter jets illegally entered Estonian airspace and remained there for a total of twelve minutes, according to the media.
Protest?
Condemnation?
Harsh condemnation?

In my latest article for @IndiasWorld_mag, I outline "Nine Elements of India’s Emerging Strategy Against Terrorism" which I term "Deterrence by Exhaustion".
1. Assured conventional retaliation against sub-conventional attacks.
This strategy involves publicly declaring a conventional military response to Pakistan, unlike 2016, when actions were unannounced and only acknowledged afterwards, and then following through on these commitments. Through the new approach, which entails openly communicating its intentions to Pakistan and the international community, India aims to establish a well-publicised tripwire strategy, which may deter Pakistan from crossing certain red lines. India not only wants to take punitive action but also wants to be seen as doing so openly and visibly. Setting public redlines for the adversary to enhance deterrence is the objective here.

#WATCH | Delhi: US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan says, "This is likely the last trip overseas that I will lead as NSA and I cannot think of a better way to end my tenure in the White House, visiting India on my final overseas trip to mark the advances that we have made together over the past four years. This is a shared and historic achievement...I have every reason to believe that within the next decade, we will see American and Indian firms working together to build the next generation of semiconductor technologies, American and Indian astronauts conducting cutting-edge research and space exploration together..."
