Phuntsog Tsering lives a tough life, herding yaks at 5,000m in the Himalayas.

Not much has changed since ancestors used to walk the Silk Road in Ladakh in India.

Young people seek an easier life and he’s now just one of a handful of shepherds left in the village.

    I think it is a bit premature of his kids leaving their ancestral lifestyle to become porters ( coolie ). This is a harsh life that not many modern people like us can survive on, but given the uncertainty of the modern world and its sustainability due to its pollution, war, pandemics, global warming, etc it might be argued that there is a higher chance that him and his kind of people would survive in a collapse of modern civilization. They do not depend on electricity, modern medicine, modern farming practice. We do, and we won't survive if any of these fails. He and his peaple will survive all that as they have doing since ancient times.

    These shepherds (in Ladakh) and people in Baltistan PAK (I am one of them) speak the same language, BALTI. It is very hard for me to understand this purest accent which my Grandparents had spoken. Unfortunately, I speak (could not write & read) Urdusied Englishized Balti. I wish to visit these lands, meet these people and understand this unadulterated language. Only distinguish words like WINTER, WATER, 16, SNOW, DISTANCES, SLEEP, NIGHT etc.

    With a marketing guru the last shepherds could have a properous end. It's interesting that they have no protective herd dogs.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.

President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.
