Washingtons Russia Hypocrisy Exposed: India Faces Oil Tariffs, But US Keeps Russian Uranium Waivers
Washington is threatening India and China with tariffs of up to 100% for buying Russian crude, calling it unacceptable funding for Russia's war machine. But buried in the same US sanctions bill is a carve-out for Russian uranium used in American nuclear reactors an exemption running through January 2028, covering roughly 12% of US nuclear fuel needs. India's Ministry of External Affairs has called this out directly, pointing to America's continued imports of Russian uranium and palladium even while pressuring Delhi over oil. This video breaks down the sanctions bill, the nuclear exemption hiding in its fine print, and why India argues energy security applies to both countries equally not just the one issuing ultimatums. Is this really about Ukraine, or about who gets to make exceptions and who doesn't?
Tejas, HTT-40, Dhruv: HAL's Triple Handover A Win On Paper, Hides Bigger Indian Air Force Problem
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited has completed three key handovers in Bengaluru. It delivered two Tejas FOC twin-seat trainers and the first HTT-40 basic trainer to the Indian Air Force.

This video explains why the three handovers matter, what each aircraft does, and why the Mk1A delay matters for Indias fighter squadron strength. It also examines HALs production capacity, foreign engine dependence and the larger challenge of turning indigenous design into reliable combat power on schedule for the IAF, security and strategic autonomy in Indias changing region today and beyond.
