Israel Hezbollah Pager Attack.

Exactly what I’m referring to when I mentioned Harley Davidson. You never heard of it?

Ofcourse he’s still going to hardball us but its the same government that dealt with him before and will handle him again. Your point isn’t something I would worry about at all. Because we have to negotiate the same with any government.

It will be more fun to watch how the left leaning governments of say UK & Australia handle him :joyful:

He is a better leader hands down. He keeps his opponents (internal and external) and allies guessing. Since Bush, the CCP have been adminstering the China test. Same applies to Indian army chiefs after VK Singh and on.

The test entails creating a mini crisis and then asessing how either the US president or the Indian army chief of the day handles the crisis.

Trump didn’t get the China test. Instead he gave the CCP the US test :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

CCP and by extension XJP was too scared to give him any test. . He’d bash China on a regular basis. China virus etc. That’s what you want in a US leader

We have the lowest mobile rates in the world. Does it have anything to do GDP per capita? No. So why do you assign it when its mismanagement of the power sector.

We have like seven different power agencies when China has just one. Yeah i can see how that would lead to more effective management.

We need power sector reforms. Don’t think that happened at all after liberalisation. For the simple reason the various escoms are one among other cash cows for the political parties. That is why we pay more.

I don’t buy into it. I advocate it. We will blow away 4, 3, 2 & become 2.

Know why? 4,3,2 are all assisted economies that in addition benefitted from a peace dividend. We had no peace dividend since independence and were sanctioned by the west for several decades.

Yet we still grew. Therefore our growth is unstoppable. I don’t care about GDP per capita. I want to boast & chest thump GDP. If we have a moon or mars program people will still whine about GDP per capita forgetting its only budding superpowers that have such programs to begin with.

At independence we had the highest GDP in Asia and ranked 6th in the world. It took seventy years to get beyond. We’ve had the largest economy in the past making up a third of global GDP at the time. Or equivalent to what the US economy was at the start of the 90s.
