I am looking to raze this city to the ground. India needs to raise karachi and lahore. Pakistan will collapse into itself. Both cities combine represent 50% of pakistan gdp. In contrast mumbai + delhi are only 13% of indian gdp. Start with Karachi, that's the lifeline of Pakistan. Heavily guarded as well so it will offer immense resistance. Ports like Pasni or Gwadar have tough geographies, even if Pak uses it, it will hardly serve 20-30% of their purpose. G_B_ 1

Again lack of killer Instinct of establishment. It's not as simple as it looks. Remember, till May 11th US/Trump were perceived to be very pro-India, hence the decision to honour their request and agree to ceasefire. Trump did total 180 degree turn and put India under the bus completely after the ceasefire. Now, we need to gradually start to pivot away from America and create our own path. It will take time and disciplined commitment to achieve the same. Even China after becoming so powerful is not completely free to do things the way they want to. Only after the above is achieved, we will be in the position to do our thing without being concerned about the worldview.

No point in targeting the crowded Takes roughly 10-12 conventional Brahmos to completely destroy an airbase alone. The warhead and missile design is built that way. Anyways Brahmos will be Tactically used like it is supposed to be. Once AD and SAM systems are gone.. cheaper subsonic ballistic Missiles like Pralay and Nirbhay and even older Prithvi variants will be enough for mass assualt. Once the mechanised columns reach the outskirts.. the Pinaka rockets and shorter ranged Missiles will destroy the infrastructure and stuff. Brahmos, Rudram will do the early damage when proceedings begin. Rudram 3 will be game changer on Pak front especially.

Rare earth monopoly switch stops every modern Plant/Factory. They told world, Just like Covid and post Covid, You can not decouple. Parallely they are making financial system (TBH its lot fairer then current one) for Internationational trade to happen. Chinese have forced Trump nicknamed to TACO. Unless US gets unfrettered access to every asset and Capital of West, I think its only a matter of when for USA to be done and dusted.

If we prioritize being in good books of Americans, then we must drop the idea of setting any deterrence to Pakistan. US will always back Pakistan given it's geo-strategic importance, they will make sure that the army always stays in power. This is irrespective of whether Democrats or Republicans are in power.

That is the game though. At some point of time India is bound to unsettle the military balance. Right now Pakistan has somehow kept the minimum credible deterrence factor going but it isn't sustainable with its fragile economy and India is going to be insurmountable in next decade even in defence. US has strategic interests in Pakistan for good reason it's upto India how to break the deadlock and find a window to deal with them. With China around and gradually increasing its military presence in Pacific and Southern Indian Ocean... US has bigger fishes to fry. They are bound to be distracted. India is kinda lucky as well in that regard. Geopolitics is never straightforward.

Except India everyone is on board Verbally Yes, Everyone is on board with US except India. But data is different. Trading in Yuan has increased. China just replaced US as biggest bilateral trader with Germany and India. The day, China or Russia or both decide to send a ship to protect any latin American nation like Venezuela, That day will be officially recorded as date on which American hegemony officially ended. Now how far are we from that? I think a a few year post end of Ukraine war. ravishingravi 1

MK55 Posted October 28, 2025 Posted October 28, 2025 By this time market has realized that this tariff thing / rare material blah blah is just noise. China basically does not want to be single handedly cornered with AI restrictions and hence this bargaining chip. Anyways, the only thing that can drive down this rally are the fundamental / traditional things - earnings, inflation, rate trajectory etc. mishra 1

Physical jobs will survive until robotics & world models evolve then they will also be on the chopping block, anything left will be niche jobs that most people aren't cut out to do. the future seems to be feudal or universal basic income.
