Well you live there so you probably know better than me. But it's hard to say for sure since Apple is no longer confident enough to release sales numbers. People see no need to upgrade, they will be hanging on to their old iPhones instead of buying new ones. There is no technological...

Sorry, I'm not responsible for your lack of comprehension. I never said that North Korea was not under sanctions, it simply never happened. I also said above that other nuclear powers like Russia and China are under US sanctions, what about that genius? Are you talking about the US and...

Didn't Apple recently lose half a trillion dollars off their market capitalization, blaming sales in China for it? Imagine the impact if they didn't ban Huawei in the US? Anyway there is no way to know now, since Apple has stopped releasing sales numbers.

The problem is that the vast majority of smartphone sales in the US happen through carriers. If they allowed Huawei to compete on a even level then Apple would be destroyed.

There is a worry that too much money will be spent on older weapons platforms when new and improved versions are released every few years. Instead of spending more now, if we wait a few years then we can spend that money on much more advanced and futuristic weapons platforms. China doesn't see...

You made a claim that I said something which I never said. Everyone knows North Korea is under sanctions, yet you think this is your own special knowledge which nobody else knows. And by the way, other nuclear powers such as Russia and China are also under US sanctions. The US had already...

https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2019/5/1/18525034/huawei-apple-samsung-smartphone-market-share-idc-2019 The world’s second-largest phone maker is now Huawei, and it has the top spot in its sights. IDC and Strategy Analytics have released their latest smartphone shipment numbers, and...

I never said that North Korea was not under sanctions, everyone knows they are under sanctions. It's not my fault that you can't read. If the Iranian government had nuclear weapons, they could ensure that their enemies die with them. That is pretty good deterrence to ensure that their...

Britain was the original source of the Anglo-Saxon worldview, and they say Huawei is fine to use in their 5G network? :P China has great relations with Europe, who also don't see any problems with using Huawei in their 5G networks. Aren't these places (Britain and Europe) the core and origin...

"Implies" means that I did not say it. Obviously North Korea is under sanctions, that is not a secret to anyone. The Iranian Government faces two choices, either collapse or build nukes. The obvious choice is to build nukes. If someone is about to destroy you, the best deterrence is to make...

When did I say North Korea was not under sanctions? I clearly never said that. Trump has made it so that Iran has no other way to escape other than by building nuclear weapons.

Fair enough, I was just using the terminology I saw elsewhere. I'll rephrase and say the Iranian Government that chose to make a deal with the US. Iran does not want to play second fiddle to any other power, and they have deliberately kept themselves out of the Chinese/Russian camps for this...

Exactly right. :enjoy: The use of force should be the absolute last resort though. China has the largest population in the world, we should have an armed forces that is commensurate with that. Yet we are only spending 1.3% of GDP on the military, this is a situation which can't continue...

LOL, China only spends 1.3% of GDP on the military budget. When China really starts to ramp up military production, then we'll talk about it. Meanwhile, Taiwan is wondering why no one is even willing to give them basic diplomatic recognition. In politics, words are cheap, yet they can't even...

After reading your post I couldn't help thinking that you were talking about Donald Trump. If this kind of behaviour can make you the President of the USA it's gotta be good right? :P

Lesson for the world from the USA: If you develop nukes like North Korea, Trump will bend over and kiss your *** all day. They'll even pay for medical treatment for US citizens that die from interrogation in North Korea. On the other hand, if you DON'T develop nukes like Iran, prepare to be...

Now that is quite the coincidence. :enjoy: Maybe instead of trying to break the Sino-Pakistani strategic relationship, these Indians should get themselves a backbone. They were already defeated handily by the Pakistani Airforce for the whole world to see, and then immediately surrendered to the...

You guys are right, check the post history of the OP, he is clearly an Indian trying to stir things up. They are ashamed to use their Indian flags because of how India recently bowed down to the USA and agreed to stop buying all Iranian oil, and gave up their strategic interest in Chabahar...

I think he meant to say Indian.

A Current Account Deficit has little to do with trade policy, it is fundamentally about an imbalance between domestic savings and domestic investment. It has to do with domestic economic policies, where Governments love to increase spending (to get more votes), which leads to a reduction in...
