The clearest acknowledgement yet from the vanguards of wokery NYT and FT that Western attempts to sanction and isolate Russia have not only failed but also backfired badly. In believing their own propaganda about Russia's economy being tiny (as denominated in worthless Western Fiat) and vulnerable, the West has not only accelerated the demise of its economic model- essentially printing money, producing nothing but 'knowledge' and consuming endlessly in the belief that the rest of the world owed it a living- but also condemned it's population to years of extreme economic hardship.

It is tiny, they however have valuable resources like farmland, fertilizer production plants, minerals, metals( including gold ), oil, natural gas, a domestic defence industry, and an autocratic govt.
It is better to have all these rather than being on (((right side of history))) and control of (((global finance))).

It is tiny as denominated in $ but, as we are all now finding out, its impact on the global economy is much larger than its $ based GDP would predict- I think we are witnessing a reappraisal of economic value, away from measuring it by the amount of lattes sold by Starbucks and similar parasitic economic activity, to counting what countries actually produce or, in Russia's case, dig up and sell. Part of this is the consequence of post 2008 expansionary monetary policies pursued by the West resulting in misallocation of capital, asset bubbles across unproductive asset classes leading to the debasement of money and undermining of confidence in the 'capitalist' system more generally. US attempts to weaponise the dollar, confiscate Russian currency reserves, force it into a sovereign default etc have merely confirmed the lack of trust and accelerated this process.

Something I had posted earlier:

When people pretend that Russia's economy is smaller than Texas, smaller than Italy, etc., the crux of the matter lies in how they are measuring. A service-based FIRE economy (Finance, Insurance, Real-Estate), is grossly over-valued in official measurements of GDP.

A production-based economy like Russia and China is under-valued. In reality, Russia's real GDP is bigger than Germany, and China's is twice that of the USA.

Add to this:

1. Debt and QE in the US is counted in GDP - so, another few trillion dollars printed by the FED increases the US GDP. But is does nothing for the real economy, other than undermine it further and increase inflation and the size of the pop when the bubble bursts. It's now impossible to increase interest rates in the US and most of the West.

2. GDP is denominated in US$ which is a meaningless metric and only reflects manipulated exchange rates, not the real value of money.

Add to that that the EU, the US and criminal governments of countries striving to join Titanic called the EU in their GDP include profits from illegal activities - anything from prostitution, to child rape snuff movies to illegal drug and human-organ trafficking.

The GDP of a service-based economy can be measured in any arbitrary ways, as the US has constantly been doing, inventing creative ways to inflate the nominal size of its economy. In the US, even if you live in a house that you own, you would still contribute to the size of GDP by the so-called imputed rent, i.e., the rent such a housing would command in a market.

This contributes about 10% of its GDP. Chinese GDP does not count such as GDP, even if it largely follows the UN definition of GDP sanctioned by the West--apparently the Chinese government doesn't feel comfortable to use such arbitrary and fanciful measures in national accounting.

The US GDP is also buffeted by dollar's reserve currency status. Should it lose that status, the nominal GDP will likely lose 20-30% of its value.

Me simple man
Me see gold, fertilizer, farmland, weapons, minerals
Me see value
Me see green paper
Me see jewish scam

Jokes apart, Roosi has put the focus back on stuff of real value.
And also on supply chain dependence.
Like EUrof*g dependence of Roosi oil and gas.

I really wish our country also had mineral, metal and fossil fuel wealth :/

I have read that USSR's Lenin literally bartered Russia's natural resources wealth with the western euro countries in exchange for machines tools/capital goods to build russian industry.

At this rate, Xi can just walk into Taiwan, if LITERALLY HITLER like Russia is able to fuck them back so well.
There won't even be condemnations, sanctions door ki baat hai.

Medieval Shinto adopting and acknowledging various Brahmanvaadi principles to create a form of Japan's own Hinduism . @GaudaNaresh makes all valid points.

In Shingon text this Japan is considered a part of Jambudvipa. Also the Japanese Imperial Dynasty is called a "Chakravartin" and BHARAT is considered the center of the world.

Hirata Atsutante the greatest scholars of the Edo era also a Shinto nativist praises the "Ancient Brahmanvaadi traditions" and says the buddhists have copied Brahmanvaadi stories/myths and falsely attributed them to the Buddha.

Amaterasu is associated with Maheshvara or more often Brahma. The Keiranshuyoshu says the divine descendants of Amaterasu are the descendants of Maheshvara.

Whatever,the reality of the acceptance of homosexuality was in Hinduism,In the practical world outsiders cannot be trusted as we can see what is happening in the west.most outsiders will always love their own tribe over the new nation.

It is advised that outsiders never be trusted or incorporated into the voting and decision making and demographics of our country.maybe include certain highly skilled people if they are willing to strictly behave.only thing we need to get and incorporate from the outside is knowledge to make our stuff and weapons.

India has literally one million bigger priorities and concerns than what to do with foreign born 'citizens'. because its a drop in the bucket for India and 99.99% of indian citizens who are foreign born are indian citizens via marriage.

outsider vs insider is all about personal perspective. in the west, some see citizenship/nationality as outsider vs insider, some see race ( white people == insider, everyone else == outsider). the only thing that matters, is values and ideology. someone who practices dharma and resides in India, is an insider, even if that person is born on the International space station to a man from guadaloupe and a woman from kamchatka.

:creepy:
For a guy with based marg-bar-amrika views, you seem to be pretty much a leftie globohomo with all references to leftism replaced with "Dharma"
Tomorrow Bharat becomes strong and prosperous, you will be probably happy with hordes of n!ggers( or any foreign tribe ) migrating here and "becoming Hindu" and "following the dharma" for materialist benefits
:creepy:

As it is tribes who are legit Indic like the Nepalis and Lankans are hostile towards us, and you are having fantasies of "dharmic brathahood" with assorted foreign tribes
