    India was never part of NATO, in fact for large part of cold war it was closer to USSR. US sent a CBG to threaten us in 1971 (among other things it did before and after...that simply it has not done with NATO partners)....and we always keep that in mind and US knows this. You can only make...

    In local language where I am from, we tend to say something along lines of : "some weathervanes are so close to politician rear and the gas/farts"... :LOL: Honestly, decent+educated+rational members should just ignore one-liner weathervane spam-agitators. They will be jumping for joy when TL...

    Yield is essentially interest rate in reverse direction (since you are lending to govt bank). The govt pays you (original bond holder) that extra each year and then face value back at maturity....agreed upon when it issued the bond. The higher the bond rate, the more it can sell (and borrow)...

    Russia lacks the offensive capacity to invade Ukraine.

    Well it is not just the offensive capacity, but the long term plan and costs associated with even a best case scenario of invasion of another country. What next, and how do you fund that occupation....of a now large even more hostile population to your forces/people? Or you just want to do...

    Yah ticking time bomb effect like I described....you build up pressure for later by plugging a cpl things (to help with election tactic)....but keep continuing/adding to the pressure so those plugs eventually wear out too. You gamble it will happen later rather than sooner. I guess in a way we...

    They first have to make up their mind if a low number or high number is good for TL vs USD/Euro. Or what range is best....and how that range is to be decided (activities/decisions of many millions of people, or just a few that "know"). Just some pages back, all kind of people were saying...

    There are couple more things he might do after new years. More extreme capital flight controls and such. Big sledgehammer stuff is always there, depends if you feel desperate enough to use them. Depends how things go first...have to let some weeks play out....or at least a month. Then it...

    TR Economy & Updates

    Yup, because markets simply ask where is the underlying compensation coming from....i.e who pays for it. Turkish people (mid and long term wise especially)....that's who. New kind of bond/instrument and subsidy policy (to TL relative to forex) to patch over things is largely election driven...

    It is almost kind of a COTS add on (for customer). Embargo relates to the system as Turkey buys and integrates etc (from the countries that formerly sold them to Turkey). So now Turkey simply leaves it up to customer... Literally its same standardised set of data and power jack. If Germany...

    The core fundamentals are not addressed. This is (domestic) capital assurance move (involving likely last amounts of govt seignioriage, trust and subsidy levers to try assuage depositors and savers). It is not as drastic as capital flight prevention move (which may still come next year)....but...

    It is good to see Kidambi in form again, though he came 2nd best in end of tourney for silver: 2021 has been overall quite a good sporting year for India.
