#1 I very much doubt this. UK is falling apart now. The new PM is performing badly. His rich family connections in India did not prepare him for treachery and the maladjusted in UK. His wife's father as I recall is the richest man in India.I have a high regard for the intelligence of the many of India I have met.

#3 ^ very good there Mr. B. "For a moment, Jindal appeared to be the future of Republican politics: he was young, diverse, sharp, and hawkish on both foreign policy and the social safety net. But after Donald Trump won in 2016, Jindal seemed to disappear. We now rarely see Jindal in the news unless he’s written an op-ed on healthcare or health policy reform. So where has the Republican wunderkind gone? And what is his legacy?" A great talent asleep at this time.

#4 I think that time when he gave the republican response on TV to some donk thing or another, he cut such a nerdy, unforceful figure that the party power brokers dropped him.

#6 From Wikipedia:

In 2017, Jindal took a position as an operating adviser for Ares Management, a global investment firm based in Los Angeles.[87]

He is also active writing op-eds, joining in Republican festivities at Mar-a-Lago, speaking and consulting on various political issues, and posting on social media.

#14 Since Russian maintenance of their weapons appears to be worse then the Muslim standards... What happens when one of Putin's big nukes self destructs?
