kepler37b Posted March 31 Author Posted March 31 Arab leaders know about their useless citizens. if they attack iran, they will risk a jihadi uprising. Hence they very prudently egging in america and israel from behind to finish their enemies off. Got to say it is an intelligent tactic @singhvivek141 @coffee_rules coffee_rules and singhvivek141 2

Houthis will launch severe attacks on them if they step in directly into Iran. Thats why Saudis need Pooks to come in front and fight for them, but Pooks are top class cowards and they themselves are shitting in their bed due to fear from Iran.
singhvivek141 Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Within the Sunni world as well, there is a severe competition between Saudi & Turkiye. Both want each other to join the fight directly against Iran and risk their energy infrastructure.

Everyone is pulling the dollars coz they fear the collapse in US. Exporting what? We are not even Vietnam and Mexico level when it comes to exports. Those achhe din in 2014 were all jumla

MechEng Posted March 31 Posted March 31 2 hours ago, singhvivek141 said: US actually learnt a lot from Vietnam. They understood the requirement of psuedo guerilla warfare, used the tacts just years later in Afghanistan and buried Soviets. US is evil, no doubt. But they're good tactically as well. Indian state has to learn from these wars on how to cripple the enemy. I'm not talking from military tactic point of view but from the brutality of the massacres they conducted at that time. You want to free Iran and bring democracy but at the same time destroy their livelihoods by bombing factories, cutting off electricity with powerplant destruction and cutting off drinking water with destruction of desalination plants?

randomGuy Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) 27 minutes ago, rkt.india said: More than exports, focus should be on reducing import of basic stuff from China. Good point, Trade deficit with China is huge. But China se important saaman bhi aata hai including raw material n intermediate material. Indians as a national duty, should not spend on foreign education, tourism and investments (property, simple money transfers etc.), i mentioned it earlier as well. Annual data of outflows Foreign Education - $50 Billion – $75 Billion Tourism - $23 Billion – $42 Billion Investments $12 Billion – $17 Billion (including corporate) Basically everytime Indians go for foreign vacation, education etc. it puts pressure on INR.

In terms of export ratio comparing to GDP, India China are not too dissimilar. China 3.7 trillion export for a 20 trillion economy. Ours is 790 billion for a 4 trillion economy.

mishra Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) Again, look at it in terms of pillars and factions . Iran, turkey, Saudi. They are and will continue to play games for supremacy over each other. Even now too, they are divided into how the Iran conflict should end. Anyone who thinks one faction (say Turkey) is more right just need to see Tirkish reaction and savagery when it comes to Kurds. Islam and religion is just a tool and nothing more to each of them. Going by history and actions of Masoud Pezeskian, You can easily make out he is anti Saud and pro Turkey. Just google. Turks simply want temporary alignment with Iran to screw Sauds Edited March 31 by mishra singhvivek141 1
mishra Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Iran is playing tactical game as they got limited resources. in stage 1 it was Iran. In 2 it became Iran + Hezbollah. In 3, Houthis joined. In 4 iraqi Shia Al Shabab will join.
Lone Wolf Posted March 31 Posted March 31 12 minutes ago, rkt.india said: I mean we need to manufacture them in India. Technical know how is simply not there yet .. India as of now is more about "assemble in India" and "Service in India". Afaik companies like Xiaomi are slowly moving beyond assembly to actually producing actual components like displays for lower models in India. This is a positive for us when it comes to electronics manufacturing. Always remember China took actual advantage of globalisation period and Western countries outsourced their production. India went with IT and took some advantage in service sector like TCS, Infosys, now countries are lot more suspicious and won't allow outsourcing and manufacturing that easily. We missed the bus. singhvivek141 and mishra 2

Those achhe din in 2014 were all jumla We have to become. We are already exporting mobile assemblies, textiles, refined crude oil in large numbers...just that our imports, specially with regards to oil and energy needs is extremely high as we are expanding out infra. Once our Nuclear and Rare earth market expands, we will see an eventual decline on the oil imports. Just hoping that something comes up in A&N islands.

There won’t be any uprising if Saudi Arabia attacks, Iran, But in this war, they’re not attacking because they don’t want to be seen fighting for a Jew/Israel and attack fellow Muslim, he even if they are mainly Shia. They will look like a.quom ka facker if they joined hands with Israel to attack Iran.

Just like Iranians, US and Israelis too , would have planned step 2 and step 3 and/or when to bring Pakistani army in picture. Favourite Field Marshal is in the plan, just that he may or may not know. Thats why its civilian government of Pakistan which is trying so hard or seen to be trying so hard to stop war in so called Unmah. Right now pulverisation of Iran and capture of land up to Lebnons Litani river is going on Edited March 31 by mishra
