#ConcertOfDemocracies πŸ‘πŸΌ: By definition a genuine "Coalition of Democracies" must give weight to one human one vote principle. A coalition led by USA (300-350 people) is a contradiction in terms. A true #Concert of #Democracies must be jointly led by a #Trioka(#USA, #EU, #India)
2/cod Why troika? India's economic power is a fraction of that of the USA and EU, but it's population is 4x. A troika leadership is good compromise between the reality of economic power and the principle of democracy, that must apply to any #concert of #democracies for crediblity
3/cw But the same logic suggests that any organized & economic-technology grouping (w/o "democracy" as a principle) would be led by US-EU and any organized & effective military-strategic grouping wld b led by USA, whose military power is equal to that of all democracies combined
4/cw India can in principle join any military grouping which, is (1) Directed against India's primary threat(s), (2) Which is NOT directed against Russia, and allows India the freedom to treat Russia as a military partner! That's the bottom line on "strategic autonomy" in 2020

16/tariff Steel, Aluminium & Dairy products.
US import weighted tariff are already the highest in the world; how much higher can they go.
Ans: If exchange rate appreciates they can keep going up, but not if it depreciates for other reasons (than tariffs) Image
17/tariff 😎
18/tariff Effective Tariff on China is only 37%. Its only real economic competitor is being threatened with 50% tariff. IncredibleπŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« way to challenge a rival, who is determined to dominate the Indo-Pacific! πŸ₯΄

#Hinduphobia is not defined in English dictionary so it doesn't exist. Only #Islamophobia & #AntiSemitism are real!
2/HP πŸ‰πŸ‰πŸ‰"Data/facts are irrelevant! We recognise Islamophobia when we see it!"
3/HP "Western Woke intellectuals, media and politicians (πŸ‰πŸ‰πŸ‰) exaggerated random lynchings and over-generalized from few hate speeches; we should not follow their despicable example"

#PIP asks: β€œIs ISI eliminating the Jehadis it has created and nurtured for 50 years, who are internationally known to have committed terrorist crimes, as a prelude to re-entering SAARC (w/o publicly announcing its toning down cross-border terrorism)”

Upside potential & downside risks have been more or less equal since the start of the financial year (in April 2023) ecoti.in/u6n-Ub
2/IndEc A ringing endorsementπŸ‘πŸΌ for FDI into India by US & EU(+UK) MNCs, by four professors, in the Harvard Business Review (#HBR) πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ hbr.org/2023/06/does-y…
3/IndEc The more that US business, entrepreneurs & professionals learn about Indian infrastructure, digital economy, financial system and Green ambitions, the more #FDI will flow into manufacturing.

One should be inured to the pro-China, anti-India, bias of the Anglo Saxon world, & its subalterns [ jstor.org/stable/30030642 ], but sadly after 50 yrs, one is still not!
2/ir #India’s #rise is causing deep disquiet in the #Anglo #Saxon #World and among its subalterns. #Information #War will intensify in next 3 years, and won’t subside till India becomes the third largest economy in (current) USD.
3/ir Great slogan for the #Information #War on India

As a National Security Strategist * find it a little difficult to interpret such statements by Senior officers of the US armed forces, in the broader context of the PRC threat!
2/nss Sweet spot for PLA aggression: #Elections in raucous democracies. => Lesson: Armed forces in threatened countries, should have more operational autonomy during election period.
3/nss Post script: #India’s general election is also in 2024
