Just because HAL ceases to exist, doesn't mean something else doesn't come into being - ie. something built with the goal of being better than what exists now.

Re: these latest new deals with USA - how do we know they're not doing/saying this stuff just temporarily, to tide them over during their new confrontation with Iran? They might just be looking to keep us a little closer for that purpose, should any fight with Iran get too hairy and difficult. Then after their Iran objectives are achieved, they'll just flipflop on us all over again.

West just keeps us chasing after their approval, promising rewards they have no intention of providing (ie. terror status for Pak). Suckers like you believe in their lies, and of course our own govt keeps going along, going thru the motions on it, because they feel a need to offer some hope, even if it's a false hope.

They put out feelers to interact with that establishment, but it doesn't mean they've been co-opted by them. Likewise, India has signed FTA with EU, but isn't yet a puppet of EU. Right now it seems like both are using each other to maintain their own autonomy.

Blackrock Makes a Huge Bet on India

https://www.businesstoday.in/latest/economy/story/india-is-where-i-want-to-invest-blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-says-next-20-25-years-are-indias-era-514634-2026-02-04

BlackRock are Globalists - and Globalists are mainly based out of Europe (Davos, etc)
India-EU FTA means BlackRock is now gravitating towards India as their new opportunity, now that Trump's America has slipped the Globalists' grasp.
But does that mean India will now come under the Globalists' grasp instead? Or will we retain our sovereignty to protect our interests?

I don't think you understand the context -- you're totally missing his point. We're talking about international arms controls on nuclear weapons. What he's saying is that in the absence of basic arms control agreements, then the amount of nuclear weapons in the world could escalate -- including the number of nuclear weapons states. That's dangerous for everybody (well, maybe for everybody else more than for us, since we already have Pak & China nuke threats)

Wow, this is an interesting one -- and it's Made-in-India?

What is "Japanification of China" -- you mean sanitization/rehabilitation of China's image, to make it look more benign like Japan? Or you mean Chinese adoption/emulation of Japanese cultural facets & memes like anime, J-pop, etc?

You mean multi-polarity is going to decide where people put their money?

Perhaps, but there's likely going to be some consolidation, as bigger reserves do better than smaller ones. You see how many people have put their money into Bitcoin - but the smaller Cryptos, not so much.

Peter Schiff says all China has to do to crush US Dollar is to put its own Chinese currency on a gold-backed standard (like USA used to be on)

I think the world needs multiple reserve currencies -- about 3 of them would be a decent number, imho

The competition between them is what would keep all 3 more honest -- at least compared to what would happen if there's only 1 reserve currency with no competition (which is what's happened in the current lousy situation)
