    TR Economy & Updates

    I can tell you why too. Data pertaining to the PPP multiplier is only sampled once every 3 or so years by the ICP study....in best case scenario schedule. This means effectively 6 year lag (now evolving into a 9 year lag given covid) as it takes another 3 years to prepare that data into the...

    TR Economy & Updates

    There is also the market cap aspect, where TR has similarly stagnated for a decade or more (its apex was somewhere between 2007 - 2012 at ~ 300 billion USD in those dollars) It is now at ~ 240 billion USD in todays dollars. If you pay attention to the video below, you will notice what is the...

    TR Economy & Updates

    PPP to begin with has limited utility as an estimate (based on another estimate) when you have: - persistent double and maybe even triple digit inflation (as you have mentioned) - imports make up a third or more of GDP (this relates to the above too by import inelasticity) - have increasing...

    Korea Foreign Defence Cooperation

    Yes, but his reasoning is the wording used by UK Def Min lately regarding "interim" artillery capability need ....and the expedience regarding that now exacerbated by AS90 being sent to Ukraine. i.e K9 is pretty much only one with available stocks at short notice implied by UK Def Min. If...

    Korea Foreign Defence Cooperation

    UK defence contact of mine was telling me earlier that this will likely be addressed by UK by purchasing K9 from Korean stocks. Stay tuned and I guess lets see.

    TR Casual Discussion Çay Bahçesi

    Some Turks here keep going to the unemployed-clown-forum to engage with especially one loser (unemployed) Greek troll there. He literally won the suck-up marathon by far to prove he is "Greek" and not Indian to the ugly wretches there. There is also a crypto-Armenian Pakistani that hates...

    India Coffee House

    I don't pay much attention to it. BBC to begin with never came clean about its role in the Savile cover up. Or its propaganda role during the Iraq War under Blair admin...and culpability there (given number of deaths, especially of civilians). So selective highlight reels from such hypocrites...

    TR Navy Naval Programs

    Yes if you look at where PN would expect to fight nearly all its battles, it would be the northern 1/3rd - half of the Arabian Sea....fairly close to their coastline and harbours. Thus the pugilist assets they have make more sense to be front-loaded in sensing and punching power relative to...

    Bangladesh Opinion Let’s talk the talk: Confronting Bangladesh’s national security threats

    Agree with all of this broadly. Last part very true....it is common psyche to South Asia in general. Frank Zappa said (about US)...the govt is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex....heh. In our part of world (and maybe developing world more broadly) I feel we have a...

    Bangladesh Opinion Let’s talk the talk: Confronting Bangladesh’s national security threats

    Reality doesn't really care about "good" or "bad enough". It just is what it is, and you either understand and work to address it better...or you wish it away and suffer later. Now if BD as a whole seeks to respond to that more effectively, it will have to gauge the moving pieces regarding this...

    Bangladesh Opinion Let’s talk the talk: Confronting Bangladesh’s national security threats

    It is not an excuse, its a reality. Myanmar doesn't have to work through the conventional forex system (based on human labour + productivity for most developing countries) as simply it has something like 100 - 200 times its yearly consumption (of gas) in proven gas reserves alone. So simply it...

    Bangladesh Opinion Let’s talk the talk: Confronting Bangladesh’s national security threats

    Yeah well Morocco and BD both have about 30 billion USD in Forex....but Morocco population is like 4 - 5 times less. That dictates how much fiscal room there is for import-heavy spending in the end...compared to GDP % (since GDP is estimate-sensitive in the end compared to say cold forex)...
