    Hmmm yah I missed that news, I assumed Turk Central bank already increase to 19% from 17% earlier in year....because of this reform package that was released: "Price stability" ...."targets inflation" I thought some sense was arriving....it was just deception smoke and mirrors in the end. I...

    Is Turkey turning into the next Iran?

    To get comparable equivalencies for comparison, you need some similar initial conditions and major perturbations of note. Ataturk's system w.r.t Turkey has faced ups and downs (incl current one, whatever your perspective is on it)....but it has persevered aligned to the aegis of that setup...

    India India - Pakistan Relations

    There is definitely a military/tactical angle to it driving it...especially in the short term. I am just operating with assumption that any notable diminishment of that noise/surface waves succeeds for sake of argument....so both populations (esp the much smaller one) can take a gander at the...

    China has world's strongest military; India at number four: Military Direct's study

    With larger populations come (arguably exponentially) larger historical inertias....somewhat hard to gauge at first (esp removed) glance. Like to project 1.2 billion on yourself also would need context of such things as scaled size of taiping civil war to that population (upstream) too (and all...

    Insult to injury is the 10% overnight depreciation happened without any interest rate change (or policy change) at all. This is all latency in the underlying trust acting for nothing and for "free" at the 19% interest setting....essentially an early advance for expected interest rate decreases...

    A simple track of what was supposed to be delivered by now, compared to what has happened already says it own story. Then there is also the fundamental question of what is the validity of the two models: A) Build factories first with what you have and what you can save (to earn forex and...

    A-darter missile for JF-17?

    It has long been gamed into our threat analysis as far back as the 90s itself with the darter (BVR) offered by RSA to what was then known as the "super - 7" project....and integrated now I believe. So the WVR darter would have been analysed around that period since RSA made itself known as...

    They really haven't tbh. (Since its stuff that produces that matters the most i.e factories, rather than white elephant infra brochures). Its projected loans...90% or more of it (given low factory commitment since China is unsure how long it needs to hold onto these for its own people). That is...

    China has world's strongest military; India at number four: Military Direct's study

    LOL some of the replies here (and other places) crack me up now tbh. Some noobs simply don't even read what US said about various wargames it did with USSR force projections either. US MIC always wants to be well financed....they got (non-military) people controlling their funding. They will...

    India India - Pakistan Relations

    Say hypothetically India flatlines in major (unforseen) way for 10 years and Pakistan on other hand gets nearly everything projected in CPEC MOU brochures (incl the promised transfer of low tier factories). 10 years thus would be the (lower threshold) time is takes for Pakistan to catch up on...

    Short term look tbh. AZ would want Turkey to be as strong and economically powerful as possible...and any payment pressure for AZ (w.r.t goods, military or not) is handled by appropriate mechanism from Turkish side (specific long term loans etc). Weak Turkish economy (by weak TL and thus...

    China has world's strongest military; India at number four: Military Direct's study

    Not surprising, they have been doing this sheep + parrot routine in media for quite some time now....in rush for clickbait alarmism...and excuse inertia of "trusted" sources. Credible objective 101 journalism (got a legit source???...what/where was the original one? etc.) is really on decline.

    India India - Pakistan Relations

    This is far into the future and needs Pakistan to produce some concrete deliverables to India to show they actually mean business....as opposed to the last 3 years of their drama grandstanding....and last 3 decades of atrocious behaviour on this matter. Otherwise this will just be filed in the...

    If it were so simple, why does China have very high and good credit rating from same agencies? Similarly many more pro-US countries have far worse credit ratings than China. They (China) are far greater of a threat to west/US, yet that stuff is kept to political paradigm/theatre...with no...

    https://firestarter.substack.com/p/akash-ng In Jan 2021, India tested its brand new Akash NG (New Generation) program. Name apart, this is a radically new system which overhauls the entire Akash architecture and has little resemblance to its predecessor. It offers the IAF a totally Indian...
