Damn, South Korea and Japan completely suspended their purchases of Iranian crude. I wonder what the Iranian members here think about this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereignty "Sovereignty is the full right and power of a governing body over itself, without any interference from outside...

And who is actually doing something against Myanmar other than talking? They have already pushed a million Bengali Muslims back to Bangladesh, has anyone actually done anything except talk? Now who is going to do something if India and Myanmar blockade Bangladesh and stop the water? Indian...

Did any of these things happen after the "butcher of Gujarat" became the Prime Minister of India? The international community doesn't care, the Indian Muslims don't care. America is leading the world into a new era where countries only care for their own interests.

What will you do if India decides to blockade Bangladesh from land and sea? The only other way out is through Myanmar, and they would probably support India's blockade. China and Pakistan are unlikely to declare war on India for Bangladesh. Donald Trump loves Modi (and he needs defense orders...

Donald Trump knows the secrets of the universe. (That is why he is so fat. His belly is full of forbidden knowledge).

Well imagine yourself as the American President, or a CEO of an American company (basically the same thing nowadays)... how do you explain to your shareholders (or your voter base) that they have to wait for 10 years to see positive results from your policy decisions? (For things like...

Hmm, and so many people seem to think that those Trumpian policies of trillions in tax cuts and massive new spending plans (not to mention the trade war against the entire world), they all come for free right? Or do they come from the Government Budget (government revenue vs government...

As the USA retreats into tariffs and protectionism, the most important economic relationship in the world will be between China and the EU. Bear in mind that when the world laughed at the USA during the last United Nations meeting, it was the Europeans and especially Germany who was laughing...

Moving parts freak me out, like on the Vivo Nex or the Oppo Find X. I drop my phone so much already, what if the camera is extended and I drop it? I'm sure it will survive, the first few drops anyway. But eventually the mechanical motor is going to start groaning. I guess it's fine for...

And what difference are you expecting it to make? According to basic economic theory, how can a trade war (against the whole world no less) reduce the overall trade deficit? And given the relationship of the current account to savings and investment, how does Trump's trillions in tax cuts and...

Trump raises tariffs, China devalues currency. In the end, Chinese goods are more competitive than ever. :partay: The US trade deficit is soaring, the US budget deficit is reaching record highs, the US national debt is ballooning. And the dollar is soaring as well, funny for a country that runs...

Watch and learn what, exactly? By the way, China's trade surplus with the USA has reached (yet another) record high.

Music to my ears. :enjoy: We need to reduce economic contacts with this insane country called America, just like the rest of the world is doing.

They kind of did already. America's steel and aluminium tariffs apply to the entire world, only Australia and Argentina have exceptions.

Sounds about right. Donald Trump isn't really the kind of person who has "friends", he has people who are useful to him, and people who are not useful to him. Right now India is useful to him, whatever sanctions he places to soothe his ego won't have much material impact. They will piss off a...

Basically anywhere except Bangladesh. So Modi supports Myanmar against Bangladesh, and India kills Bangadeshi civilians on the border whenever they feel like it, and Bangladesh has decided to become a vassal state to India. What will you do when India starts pushing their Muslim population...

Firstly, Trump cut trillions in taxes and put through massive spending plans while already having the largest budget deficit, trade deficit and national debt in the world. Where is the money coming from? That's right... endless amounts of borrowing. Secondly, Trump has launched a trade war...

Cancels out what? They have to pay more for imports, and their exports are going down because they are being hit by tariffs from all over the world. That's a double whammy.

Also, China accepted hundreds of thousands of ethnic Chinese refugees from Southeast Asia back in the 1980's when China was much poorer than today's Bangladesh in terms of per capita income, not to mention the fact that we had another billion people to feed, and we didn't have countries like...

China solved the Kokang dilemma by keeping it a bilateral issue and resolving it without pushing Myanmar into a corner from which they could not back down without losing face. Which is how you handle these sorts of situations. We also tried to achieve the same success with the Rohingya...
