It seems to me Andrew is optimistic about 2025 :-) Happy New Year.

I suspect the situation in South Asia can worsen from a social-economic perspective. Foreign interventions have many historical roots and practical inevitability, but the ground must be fertile enough for the foreign interventions to seep in. From the west side of Bangladesh to the South China Sea, the ground surface is highly broken and covered mostly by jungle. The five major river valleys and deltas are rich agriculturally but overloaded with population already. The mountainous areas produce less and hence are overloaded even more. All the natural, social, and economic conditions favor small tribal groups concentrated in one area, then overflow into the areas of other tribes to cause problems.

Mr. Modi is unlikely to serve much longer as the Prime Minister given his age. My shallow knowledge about India blinds me from seeing any other viable candidate who can master the delicate balancing act as well as Mr. Modi. If India loses its internal balance or its external "multi-alignment", things can easily go worse.

Two Questions for shitty US state media:

1. Biden had two scull surgeries in 1988 for brain aneurism (often accelerates dementia). In 2019 his mental decline become very noticeable. By 2021 he was no longer there – “English muffin”. Who ruled and rules now US??

• It is now evident -- Klein, Zientz and Blinken, the cabal who took over senile Biden to rule US and are all – rabid Zionists. Let that sink in….

2. In 2020 Biden got 81M+ votes – a mystery from where 3-4M extra votes came?? Trump got ~79M in a landslide

3. A bonus question: Why Trump has not “noticed” Biden’s genocide in Gaza yet…?
