@subhavsamarth The Chidambarams ( Père et fils ) close friends of this Gem of a Veeramani. You gotta hand it to them from fake note factory in Pakistan to this - numerous crimes and misdemanors.
@TheRightGhose Journalism in India is but a whoring profession, as e.g., @nramind, @virsanghvi , @BDUTT and that Vinod Khanna of outlook fame. Shoba De called him a bore. That Khanna dude kowtowed (and fell off) to Musharaff in Agra like Van Braam kowtowing to the Qianlong emperor in 1795.
@harshmadhusudan Lot of talk that China is buying gold instead of US treasuries; at least UST gives a yield but not gold. PBOC would go functionally bankrupt trying to pay interest on sterilization bonds without any income from its gold reserves. Not happening (Gold instead of US Ts).
@harshmadhusudan Else, if RMB appreciates significantly against the U.S. dollar, or if domestic interest rates eventually rise above the yields earned on its foreign assets, the PBOC will suffer catastrophic quasi-fiscal losses. The paradox: if RMB doubles, a 40T$ econ with catastrophe!
@fayyaz_motani@CI_CT_IO "Peer enemy"? You are a pussy. We will do Nur Khan to Karachi. Fatima Bhutto will be running naked like that "Napalm Girl" photograph was taken in the village of Trảng Bàng, South Vietnam. The temerity of cousin-fucking beards drunk on some desert cult.
@dravirmani Under him Albright said they were "indispensable power" and started poking the Russian bear. And now, 30 years thence they want India to stop buying Russian oil so that "there is peace in Ukraine". Foggy bottom is one fucking joke. @RichardHaass
@somnath1978 One of things about the Chinese is that, they are the not the sentimental type. India's policymakers and strategists could learn that from them. But alas, we have Hamid Ansaris ...
@HNadim87 It is always good for India to see Pakistan believing its own lies and living it. We have nothing to fear, even if the Chinese give you their very own nukes.
@DaganLauren Pakis salivate for Israeli Mil-tech to annihilate India. Sometimes stupidity has no bounds. In 1979, had the Ayatollah continued to be friends with Israel, Iran would be a great power now. India is blessed with Pak stupidity - heaven forbid if Pakis decided to be pals with Israel
@DaganLauren The UN is on its death throes. Formed after Yalta. Like the previous inflection point of Congress of Vienna 1815, Versailles 1919 etc. 105 years Waterloo to Versailles. Expect something new by 2050. US will still be numero uno but will include a new posse of core powers.
