Therefore all this Trump BS is specifically targeting India. I don’t see how one can draw any other conclusion- but am glad to hear arguments to the contrary. Russian oil which was not an issue till a few weeks back is now a major issue. Steve Witkoff is planning to be in Russia next week on Russia...

Per AI, if Russian oil is eliminated from the world market and other producers increase their production, even in the optimistic scenario the world is short of 3 million barrels a day. This is not about India, it is about Russia and pressure on it to make a deal on Ukraine. India just happens to be...

"India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian Oil, they are then, for much of the Oil purchased, selling it on the Open Market for big profits. They don’t care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the Tar...

Trump is likely making his claims about India-Pakistan deescalation based on what Pakistan told the US. Yawn: “… in the small hours of May 10, a top Pakistan official is said to have informed the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that India’s firing of dual-use missiles was a dangerous escalation a...

the issue with the dairy and agri sector is non monetary tariff, for dairy specifically, india has asked that the milch cows be not fed meat or blood - something that is common in us dairy and this is one of the major sticking points, i see no way that india gives way for this point, the milk that ...

RD: Your call to arms is admirable. I only wish we had some compelling leverage with the other side and we have none, except NAM redux.

I predict that Trump is going to present this as a historic, Nixon Redux rapprochement of the US with China— basically giving PRC whatever they want on a platter while claiming statesmanship points for himself. Part of what the Chinese will demand (and I'm sure Trump will give) is a joint partnersh...

Think there is a unilateral decision made on the US end - no agreement. Beware links to Truth Social!!!

>>So while $/MW might look higher, total cost and deployment time can actually be much lower — and easier to finance. I think this is the ultimate test of SMR. Traditional PWR/PWHR reactors went up the ladder in terms of total output per reactor to amortize the cost per MW per reactor to acceptable ...

Is it likely true/plausible that part of the reason for the air losses is the lack of authority to engage military targets? IOW: Did the IAF not have authority to shoot when fired upon or more optimal nullify likely potential threats on May 7? Gen Sharma seems to allude to such in here after 12 mins...

Bottom line: China has quantity, and China has economic staying power, both of which Pakistan never had. A war that drags on for months, and in which Indian cities, towns, highways etc. are visibly degraded (in the eyes of Indian citizens) while reciprocal damage against China (even if it happens) ...

How so? Our numbers may be less, but our flight duration is higher, detection range is higher and our S-400 system acts as a deterrent from their circa 300 km detection ranges. Again, a 1:1 compare of number of platforms is not a true measure of capability and operations effectiveness. I broadly ag...

Given that Pak has more AWACs and a smaller airspace to defend, they have better visibility of their airspace than we do.
