"Actions speak louder than words" "Speak softly and acquire a bigger stick" Ignore the #DumbExperts who can't even interpret govt policy from its actions and keep asking govt to spell it out for them in words😢: business-standard.com/article/defenc…
2/ The commentariat has difficulty in deriving Govt policy intent from actions, only when the implication is positive, they find it very easy to unambiguously divine Govt's policy intentions from statements of random party people, when the implication is negative!🤓🤡
2/def The 21st C version of #Autonomy: One aspect is to develop mutually beneficial strategic relations directly with US allies, without the intermediation of the USA. This will make them immune from vicissitude of US domestic politics.
3/def With #australia getting on the same page since 2016, India-Australia strategic relations have developed rapidly and will continue to develop at a fast clip. #Japan's hesitancy in adopting this approach, has slowed development of India-Japan bilateral strategic partnership!

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)
18/tariff Effective Tariff on China is only 37%. Its only real economic competitor is being threatened with 50% tariff. Incredible😵💫 way to challenge a rival, who is determined to dominate the Indo-Pacific! 🥴
3/HP "Western Woke intellectuals, media and politicians (🍉🍉🍉) exaggerated random lynchings and over-generalized from few hate speeches; we should not follow their despicable example"
#PIP asks: “Is 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 endorsement👍🏼 for FDI into India by US & EU(+UK) MNCs, by four professors, in the Harvard Business Review (#HBR) 👌🏼 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.
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.
