"The Biden administration resumed military aid to Pakistan, though it's home to at least a dozen terrorist organizations and its government is deeply in hock to China. Team Biden restored half a billion dollars to a corrupt United Nations agency that's supposed to help the Palestinian people but in fact covers for deeply anti-Semitic propaganda against our ally Israel," she said.
"As ambassador, I strongly supported President Donald Trump's decision to cut nearly USD 2 billion of military aid to Pakistan because that country supports terrorists who kill American troops. It was a major victory for our troops, our taxpayers and our vital interests, but it didn't go nearly far enough. We've still given them way too much in other aid. As president, I will block every penny," the US presidential candidate further wrote.
The development lender has just started accepting candidate nominations in a process set to run until March 29, with the bank saying that women candidates would be "strongly" encouraged.
The president of the World Bank is typically American, while the leader of the International Monetary Fund is customarily European.
Banga, 63, is Indian-American and currently serving as vice chairman at equity firm General Atlantic.
He was previously chief executive at Mastercard.
Banga has "critical experience mobilizing public-private resources to tackle the most urgent challenges of our time, including climate change," said Biden in a statement.
Last week current World Bank President Malpass -- who was nominated to the post by Biden's predecessor Donald Trump in 2019 -- said he would step down nearly a year early, ending a tenure that was clouded by questions over his climate stance.
His term would originally have ended in 2024.
Banga's nomination comes amid a push for development lenders to revamp and address global problems like environmental issues more effectively.
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen earlier said that lenders' core models, where countries borrow to make specific investments addressing developmental constraints, is "insufficient to meet the moment."
The United States is the World Bank's largest shareholder.
Two Indian cities ranked lowest on a list of ‘The Creative Capitals of the World’. Delhi and Mumbai were both found wanting when it came to creative roles, according to rankings compiled by Business Name Generator, a website that’s part of the performance marketing group Marketzoo.
Business Name Generator analysed a number of metrics to come up with the top 50 creative capitals of the world – a list which Tokyo topped. These metrics included number of creative roles available, the advertised salary for these roles, cost of living as a single person (excluding rent), number of museums and art galleries, access to green spaces, number of classes and workshops and the happiness score of the country.
“Tokyo is the best city in the world for creatives, followed by London and Paris,” the research found. Tokyo, the capital of Japan, scored high on almost every metric and topped the list with an overall score of 8.0. Its overall score far surpassed London, which came second at 5.4.
Meanwhile, Delhi and Mumbai, with a score of 2.8 each, were judged the least ideal cities for creative people.
The research found that New Delhi had 46 green spaces and parks, 75 museums and art galleries, and 9 creative classes and workshops. The cost of living in the national capital, however, is lower than any other city on the list.
Mumbai was judged “slightly better” than Delhi, although it offers even fewer museums, art galleries, creative classes and workshops. “As well as this, India ranks 136th for happiness which is worse than any other country in our ranking,” the research said.
On February 16, the billionaire George Soros launched another attack against India’s Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi. He claimed that Modi is “no democrat” and hoped for a weakened Modi expecting a ..democratic revival in India.
He is notorious for interfering in countries internal affairs attacking their sovereignty, financing anti-government activities and hate for nationalism and nationalists.
Mr Soros is an old, rich opinionated person sitting in New York who still thinks that his views should determine how the entire world works…such people actually invest resources in shaping narratives...
.The billionaire performs his anti-nationalist antics and finances his anti-government activities through, among other avenues, the Open Society Foundation (OSF), which is known to fund political NGOs,...including Israeli NGOs denying Israel’s legitimacy and Palestinian NGOs with ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated terror organisation. In 2015.
The man who broke bank of England & is designated by nation an economic war criminal has now pronounced his desire to break Indian democracy. George Soros an international entrepreneur has declared his ill intention to intervene in the democratic process of India.
However, his attempt to destabilise democratic governments is not limited to the use of political influence. For example, OSF-backed Sherpa Association attempted to attack India’s defence when the the foundation filed a complaint against the India-France Rafale deal. OSF-backed Sherpa Association, in their tweet from November 23, 2018, said, “We filed a complaint with the national financial the foundation filed a complaint with the national financial prosecutor’s office in Paris in order to clarify the conditions surrounding the sale of 36 Rafale plane by #Dassault Aviation to India in 2016,” alleging “possible acts of corruption.”
Earlier, in 2016, the Modi government put the OSF on their watchlist, making it harder for the billionaire to fund anti-nationalist initiatives in India. However, Soros has been successful at
weaponising his giant fortune and cultivating an ecosystem of anti-nationalist media and NGOs that works to meddle in the country’s internal affairs to shape the world in his vision.......
Jaishankar said Soros' comments were typical of a "Euro Atlantic view". He also pointed out that there was "a debate and conversation that we must have on democracy",
including whose values defined democracy as the world rebalanced and became less Euro-Atlantic.....
Soros u have billions of dollars we have billions of aspirations but still I caught u hiding like a common thief behind Hindenburg.
Jai hind
US President Joe Biden on Monday made an unannounced visit to Kyiv, Ukraine ahead of the first anniversary of the full-scale invasion by Russia. Biden said Ukraine will get a new military aid package worth $500 million, which will be announced on Tuesday.

His half age, Chinese wife is going to be present at a Cambridge gathering to be addressed by our Rahul Gandhi. There is a saying in China that any Chinese national out of China is a Chinese listening post. Can we then rule out that China is not involved? At the same time the Director General ISI of Pakistan is also expected to be there in UK. The gathering of these anti India forces in the UK is nothing but planning for one more toolkit attack on Modi. With Soros coming out in the open and so blatantly speaking of ousting Modi is nothing less than a war cry. In every regime change engineered in poor European countries, Soros has been rumored to have had a hand. And you bloody well be sure that Soros will stop at nothing So over the next 15 months we can expect every kind of attack in order to remove Modi. Prior to the Gujarat state elections (which was a landslide BJP victory) Modi himself had stated that he was fighting global power who would stop at nothing less than his death. Post that we had the regime change Clinton cabal members - O Donald, Victoria Nuland and Hillary herself visiting India. In Gujarat close to INR 400 cr of funding via NGO was committed while in Tamil Nadu plans were in works to revive the LTTE. Post this we had NIA pick up several drug lords and terrorists from TN. Until LS2024 (and even beyond) we will see multiple attempts being made to disturb the harmony in India, engineer violence, communal hatred and blaming Modi for this. One question that will crop up in everyone’s mind is why are these so desperate for Modi’s blood? We need to take into consideration the following. 1. If Modi, wins Pakistan will break up. Hence having a sympathetic INC govt is in their interest. 2. Debt of US $34 tr & China $50+ tr is unsustainable. In light of this a strong India is a threat to their global superpower and economic status. 3. A strong economic India means a weakened China. So to sustain this hegemony it in their interest to unseat Modi. What can we do to protect our interest? a. Rally behind Modi no matter what. b. Counter the negative agenda by spreading awareness. c. Don’t indulge in petty anti Modi hatred without reason. If you want to understand imagine how much we achieved economically in just a few days in February. 1. Tatas placed order for 500 aircraft. This going to make India the hub for global air travel, tourism and MRO. 2. UP Global Investors Summit received $350 bn of commitments. 3. The Aero show 2023 is the 3rd largest in its category globally displaying 700+ Indian firms in the aero and defence industry. Imagine if in another Modi led Amritkaal for another 5 years we cross US$ 10 tr GDPThis is surely uncomforting for global powers.
