Thanks Deansji, another good post as usual. Ukraine has lost more than 50% of its tank and artillery :eek: One hopes our own DGArty and DGMF take lessons and learn the importance of using indigenous systems, but one can only dream.. Btw Deansji what do you think of the 7011 number from Trump mention...

Ok so science, literature and medicine prizes are given by Swedish institutes but the Peace prize is by Norwegians…

Pappu is butt hurt by the response from Election Commission it would seem. He now wants to impeach the CEC. Not even hiding his intent anymore…

Good luck with the impeachment I say!

Isnt Nobel prize from Sweden and not Norway?

Tanaji

EC has called out Pappu publicly and asked him to file the affidavit as per the rules.

Pallu has already scooted as usual

Tanaji

A week! He must have gotten the timeline wrong.
7011 is an awfully specific number though…

@Deans, One of the interesting things that came out of the Alaska summit was the Trump conference with reporters across AF1. Ignoring the usual tripe about “stop the killing” he mentioned that Ukraine lost 7011 people mostly soldiers in one month. That’s quite a specific number to mention for his br...

Yes MUTUwani is Neo Shalab Kumar. VT is right Logan Act wont apply to her as she is not representing India. There are a group of individuals in DC and Silicon Valley who think they can browbeat India for their success. And they are well connected in India and in US. How is Motwani well connected in...

Over the past few days, some reputable outlets have floated a troubling possibility: during or around the Trump–Putin summit in Alaska, rare earth elements (REEs) from Alaska—and even from Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine—may have been discussed as bargaining chips. The Telegraph report that kicke...

Interesting article on electricity generation in China. The quote about one province equaling entire Indian output is impressive.

I think the next target will be the Indian pharma industry - this will be under guise of India not respecting patents and a demand that India outlaw forced patenting (even though it has been rarely used). Does Indian pharma industry make any basic chemicals that have dual use like for drugs and &qu...

Given Failed Marshalls statements, I think the time has come for India to seriously start putting in funds into researching kinetic bombardment technologies. We have the capability to lift decent mass into LEO. We also have the capability to build large satellites. We also have mastered satellite bu...

I don't buy American cheese. I only eat European made cheese which these days has gotten quite expensive. Interestingly in most grocery stores American "cheese" like kraft or whatever are in a separate area from imported cheese . A lot of American cheese would not be legally called cheese...

Ricky saab, There are 2 levels to this. GoI has been rightly focusing on poverty alleviation - and in this it has seen more success than failure. One could argue this is because of the huge amount of social security spending that we so in form of MNREGA or housing or medical insurance or Ladki Bahin...

I don’t get it: the oil demand doesn’t go away magically by putting in tariffs. If EU joins in, doesn’t crude just become more expensive for everyone including EU? Indian crude consumption is not insignificant… What does India do if EU do decide to join in? I wonder if they would have so many exempt...

Bolton is a nobody now and largely irrelevant. The Trump - Putin talks are unlikely to yield anything significant. There are good chances that Trump will further raise duties to make an example - largely irrelevant as beyond a point there is no impact of the increase. But it will provide enjoyment f...

The BCCI is a golden goose that has a budget in thousands of crores. Historically, whoever is in Centre controls the BCCI as well for obvious reasons. The BCCI does not want people prying into its affairs - again due to the deep political connections and money related matters, especially since it de...

Any direct action in the form of BMs or air launched missiles is improbable. Pakis are pigs but not stupid, they know the retribution will be severe and unrestricted as they will have attacked a civilian target. No, the more probable option is a multi drone attack launched from close to Sriharikota ...

It is amazing how much the world can change in such a short period of time. US Americans have always boasted how distrust of the government is ingrained into them and that an authoritarian government was impossible. People have guns we were told and they would use it to resist an unjust government…....

The nuclear tech is probably mature but the means for lifting the mass into orbit is less so. As a pointer, the current plan for a moon landing envisages the Starship to refuel in orbit which has yet to be demonstrated. No doubt SpaceX will get there eventually.

Deep state or not is irrelevant.

Action by whom? By the current US Administration?! @Tanaji ji, in case they do act against Indian H1Bs only, their employers will sue WHOTUS in every jurisdiction.

Tanaji

At this point its just based on vibes of Donald.

Otherwise there is no reason why India and Brazil have 50% and China has 30%. That and his hatred for BRICS.

There is no going back from this though. No Indian government will ever buy an American jet fighter again.

Tanaji

US has hit India with an extra 25% tariff on all goods. This makes it 50%.

There is a even a bigger problem. Deal is just the starting of series of problems and issues down the road. Better could be a no-deal.

What power/influence can India bring to the table in this fight? Its a genuine question, not a rhetorical one. I dont think we have any cards. The slightest action against NRIs and H1Bs will cause them to vocally protest against GoI and this will be amplified by our own politicians to bring the curr...

Trump sees tariffs as a fine paid by the exporter country. The higher the tariff, the more the fine. Apart from not realizing that tariff is paid by the importer, Trump does not realize that once the tariff he imposes is high enough to make some goods uncompetitive in the American market, further i...
