China has effectively colonized australia economically for all practical purposes -- Australian politics is heavily left-wing, and as is typical of "liberal left wing" parties like demicrats in the USA, shivering in expensive armani suits is the reaction of choice when it comes to the topi...

Pro-China op-ed warning that US is not a dependable australian ally On page 46 it states that territorial disputes in the South China Sea are a “major fault line” of the region. Yet on November 10 the US President gave a speech at the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation Summit in Da Nang in which he...

shyamd, Yes it's about basic etiquette and debating skills (you just proved my point that you have no shame and have no idea what basic etiquette is....I'm sorry its taken someone on BR to explain this to you...).. Bite me, your lordship. Fine etiquette is beside the point here, if you are going to...

shyamd: Look sh!t head, why don't you quote the 'drivel' and the bit where I said GoI accepted anything... rather than throw insults - Have you no shame? clearly you haven't been taught basic etiquette. etiquette? :rotfl: why all this anger, your lordship? Unhappy at your stupid nonsense being call...

periaswamy

shtyamd: The fact that some of this has got you all so upset is probably why it's not in public domain. Not upset. Just amused that you write drivel because you think your "source" is a fount of truth, when the story is self-contradictory, when considered against other evidence. Why would...

vips: My post was the SC members would have been exposed in further voting during the conference method that was proposed by UK. yes, indeed that was what I was trying to point out earlier, but then UK "withdrawing" from the contest was just to save face to avoid the inevitable. The only ...

periaswamy

Suraj: You speak repeatedly of 'power'. There's notional power and what one can exercise. Veto arguably has been reduced to something only 1-2 P5 members can use in any real manner. For PRC, UK and France, veto is just a 'bullet proof vest', i.e. it's a defensive protection but not something they c...

periaswamy

vips: They would have bluntly told UK that it could not antagonise India. But, as Suraj has explained, the only danger for the UNSC (and others) was the open vote which would have revealed which parties claimed they would support one side or the other, but did not do so in actual voting. The UNSC a...

periaswamy

suraj: Your argument is like ‘yes Modi won but what about becoming a developed country ? What about disappearance of corruption ?’ In short, this was a specific action against a specific UNSC P5 power that India was able to take on successfully . It was not quite definite until today that we would ...

periaswamy

Suraj: It has always been their privilege that any challenger to an ICJ seat one of the 5 needed, would step aside. Until today. Considering their privilege has been demonstrably removed, what more is there to show ? But that is just one of the many privileges of the UNSC, no? The other, more usefu...

periaswamy

Suraj: How has H&D been saved ? Quite the opposite - their privilege has now been eroded. I just meant that If the matter had been pushed to its logical conclusion, then the UNSC's weakness would have been demonstrated, specifically that the UNSC's members enjoy a privilege well beyond their wo...

periaswamy

Given that China supplies 90% of NoKo's economic needs, these international economic sanctions sound less than worthless.

periaswamy

UK has saved the H&D of the UNSC by "taking one for the team", but this action continues to lend legitimacy to a decrepit UNSC that needs to be torn down and rooted out and its veto powers removed. I am afraid it just looks like a tactical victory for India.

Why is India still trading with the Pakis? What are the upsides to keeping the pipeline open, except maybe for humint.

SSridhar: India is not the 'sole' arbitrator of who should or should not be part of the 'alliance' I say 'alliance' and not Quad because if there is no perceptible improvement in the security situation in the region soon enough, we may see South Korea also joining it (in spite of Japan's presence) ...

cosmo_r: Could you be more specific on what 'cards' we hold? And, whether there is more than only one way to play them? For example, would we consider aligning with China against Japan and the US? India holds the "geography" card, given that India straddles all of the Indian Ocean, which ...

Mort Walker: But milk, meat and vegetables are not taxed. Why should ghee, butter, cream and yogurt? those products (ghee, butter, cream and yogurt) require significant processing of raw materials at an industrial scale, so they are not quite in the same category as milk or vegetables, since the &q...

It is quite alright to put a political spin on economic events if that pays your bills as a political operator, but it gets tiresome when "intellectuals" of the Pratap Bhanu Mehta and Mihir Sharma get all gleeful when Indian economy does poorly, and nothing good to say when things actually...

From the above article: Mugabe "took the land without paying for it" by his own admission, exactly like the Sri Lanka case. Mugabe’s hard stance was more a reaction to growing political opposition and waning voter support. He blamed the white farmers for betraying his benevolence and threa...

Not totally related, but Northern Rhodesia, a.k.a., Zambia, because it had less resources and less farm land that the white settlers cared for, did not get a fraction of the attention and the money that Zimbabwe got when the white settlers left.

Not making any moral judgements.

Chinese own a lot of institutions and have their claws in the australian economy -- so the horse has already bolted as far as keeping them away from China, one would think. If China has a tight grip on Oz economy, and Oz leans against China militarily by joining the Quad, what is the incentive for O...

On second thought, CPEC is useless to china even as a military supply line -- no reason why the Pakis will not do to China, what they have done to the USA, i.e., start extracting rent/blackmailing China if it becomes dependent on CPEC as a military supply line. This marriage between these tall and d...
