Re: Nepal and Bhutan News and discussion

So who is behind this? Is there a positive side for India in this? Regime change with street violence getting uncontrollable is typical unkill weapon. The Chinese can pump money and honey insidiously, but they themselves are scared of such regime change at home. Given Bharat US ties are pretty shak...

If all or even several countries off load the dollar at once then the dollar would lose value very quickly. Like in any market sell off, the first ones to offload will benefit at the expense of the rest.
