Love you to the moon and back While I'm happy for India, I feel regret that we have been conditioned not to aspire for much, let alone for the moon. Congratulations are definitely in order.

Possibility that it’s a high value target/ drugs depot/ paki drone c&c eliminated is much greater than it being an accidental mizzyle phyrr. If the former it is a HUGE departure from our past strategy and hence cannot assume that’s what happened here with conviction.

It will be good to split this up into two broad ideas. (1) Strategic Autonomy and (2) Inter-dependencies. From a trade and mercantilism perspective, building up inter-dependencies is more beneficial than trying to close yourself off into a self-contained economy. Hypothetically, if it were China inv...

The ceasefire in the border was probably agreed to, in return for not pushing in infiltrators and keeping a leash on jihadis. This probably will be used to get out of FATF.
