It is matter of them realising the losses sustained (esp in response to art 370 scrapping) was taking way larger impact on them than us. Hence they will buy some time again with a ceeasfire (fine by us too, why not, lives saved on our side is always good). I don't see any serious movement on...

Hard assets + hard investment for currency is better (for basis + seigniorage) than cyclic loans and speculation? What a revolutionary way of thinking.

Another example of clear evidence of what is going on in a very short span of time.

Well Energy density of jet fuel is far higher than the best batteries available, so I doubt it (for every kg or L on the platform). Li-ion (at best) is roughly 0.9 MJ/kg or 2.43 MJ/L Kerosene is roughly 43 MJ/kg or 35 MJ/L Employing total efficiencies of .75 and .3 respectively, jet fuel is...

Issue is western trade and investment with Burma is extremely limited, so there is only so much sanctions scope/impact to begin with. Burma is mostly driven by trade and investment from other Asian countries, especially China. China can also replace anything that might reduce from more pro-west...

Since 90s, CCP civil leadership+bureaucracy has quite successfully delineated itself away from the PLA/CMC etc in the eyes of the Chinese people and even lot of people around world....they have entrenched this phenomenon more with the substantial wealth generated during the last few decades...

Well if its capex driven low-income housing, there is merit to the thing...as construction sector can bring lot of jobs and creates hard assets in valuable areas of a country. Theoretically if you attract lot of sound money in productive industries or investment funds directly, you can create a...

Word over....politicians are thuggish hypocrites and dopes? Shocked, utterly shocked.

What an inept weak PM we have. 😡

Tbh, imho, I have always said this was way overpriced, time-costing of a thing to do, taking an SSN and turning it into an SSK. Australia should have, IMO, gone for something far more expedited and cost-friendly....yet capable.
