Can’t Even Keep the Lights On: India & Her Supposed ‘Global Power’ Status

First it was corruption of staggering proportions, then an ill-conceived tax to claw back capital gains from foreign companies; that was followed by slowing growth and a swooning rupee. Now a power blackout in India has left 700 million people without electricity.

India has fallen a long way from 2009 when Hillary Clinton, on a visit to New Delhi, declared unequivocally
that “India is not just a regional power, but
a global power.”

    What a lesson, learned waaay too late but a lesson nevertheless, for the people of India. Their government spent hundreds of billions of dollars and huge amounts of brainpower and labor, to get into the "nuclear club". Their "leaders", like most "leaders" around the world, don't give a crap about their people (the serfs). Instead of infrastructure, they spent it on weapons and bragging rights. Hundreds of millions of Indians don't even have a toilet. How are their people now? They can blow up Pakistan, but can't use their refrigerator. Brilliant leadership, as usual.

    A regional power , without power.
    A 3rd world country , still a 3rd world country as is the entire middle east and all of Africa.

    Hilary Clinton has no clue what day it is or where Bill is either. She and Nancy Pelosi would do good living with each other. Not enough brains between the two of them to make a logical statement on anything.
