Re: Understanding the United States of America (USA) - III
Trump knows that economy is in a real mess. He has been saying that there will be a massive recession, but stopped talking about it during second part of the campaign. But he surely has plans, and following is my guess: 1. Increase interest rate, he realizes that low interest rate created dangerous ...

Re: Perspectives on the global economic changes
I don't think it is a good idea to peg one's currency to anything whose value it can not control (even gold). If you peg, a wild fluctuation in that (strengthening or weakening) will affect your currency and hence your economy, and you have no way to control that. If you really want to link it with,...

What is the urgency for Modi to talk now? As of now he is not the PM of India, and is not even a MP. That disqualifies him from talking about bilateral issues. If he has to talk, that must be limited to Gujarat and its business relations with America.

Looks like you didn't get JEM's point. The escalation will spread to non-consular things, as they have disassociated Embassy from American Embassy School. Then US will start showing rule book to TCS, INFY etc. It will take a different path altogether.
