Trump’s last hit on Turkey and warning to India


45 days before he leaves the White House, President of United States Donald Trump takes crucial decision on Turkey. United States took decision on unilateral sanctions against Turkey, for acquisition of Russian S-400 air defense systems. 

Russia called US sanctions as arrogance and Italy deny US sanctions on Turkey. Greece welcomes US action against Turkey. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited on November 16th along with his wife. He didn’t meet any official during his secret visit and a month later US imposed sanctions on Turkey.


It may be recalled that the ground-to-air defenses system was acquired by Turkey from Russia in mid-2019. Turkey is NATO member and this defense collaboration with Russia is unacceptable. US consider defense deal between Russia and Turkey is ‘Incompatible as per NATO policies. How these sanctions turned as warning to India? India has also inked similar deal with Russia and is set to receive S-400 air defense system from Moscow in 2021.


But the acquisition of S-400 system is very important for India to counter attacks in a two-front war. The sanctions imposed by the US on Turkey have made India cautious and New Delhi is closely monitoring the decision taken by US administration. Donald Trump has maintained very health relations with India and the country are expects the similar from new President Joe Biden. It is likely that Biden would continue with the stand taken by Trump as far as S-400 deal is concerned but it may happen that the new president may change his stand over new deals.

Who killed cricket in Pakistan?

Pakistan won the 1992 WC under the leadership of one of the greatest all-rounders in the world Imran Khan. Now, he is leading the country as Prime Minister of Pakistan. Every cricket lover in the country wants to see the glory in the gentleman game after Imran became PM for Pakistan. But his leadership can’t give any assurance to other nations to play the game in Pakistan. New Zealand abandoned the historic Pakistan tour just a few minutes after the first ball was to be bowled in the first ODI in Rawalpindi. Both teams have considered this series as preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup. Kiwis cites ‘Security threat’ to its players in Pakistan.
