Maybe they are just out of money. Losing a trade war against China and an actual war against Russia while fending off another economic war with the US isn't cheap.
They’re also going to lose ASML market, they have two years tops before China eats their lunch.


one day, the image of the weights on the nose of the F-35 will be in textbooks as a clear sign of American decline and Soviet unionisation.

Sadly there is zero political motivacion from the Modi Government to solve the problem because that means an economic sacrifice and they think that will bad for the polls, also the wealthy elite is going to lobby against any measure that cut their profits.

It’s not that building infrastructure will be bad for polls, it’s there is no profit in it.

Infrastructure is a classic example of a public good with positive externalities, meaning the public gets extra benefits from its provision that the provider cannot profit from.

Also, India has achieved the unenviable distinction of having achieved western late-capitalist stages of economic intangibility and asset inflation without the economic fundamentals to fall back on.

So building infrastructure actually costs them western prices instead of developing nation prices.

Exhibit 2308716 of why I do not rate India at all as a threat to China.

There was no point in Soviet (or even Russian) history when a fighter had to use weights in lieu of a radar. What the US is facing is far beyond late USSR in many fields.
USSR did screw up bad but they never sacrificed their fundamentals in return for greater profit, thus they were able to bounce back despite taking a while. The USA has almost completely sacrificed most of its fundamentals in return for greater profit, arrogantly believing that the world will give them all the resources its wants on the cheap for ever. Once the world decided that they want nothing to do with that crap, they suddenly found themselves completely lacking in almost all areas and its stock pile in critical levels. This kind of crap is so bad that they decided to pretend they are ok when most countries would furiously pull back and do every thing to restore its fundamentals no matter how hard it is to do. Also they seem to have a thing for rewarding the idiots who got them in this mess when most rational people will have them executed painfully as a consequence of such an epic failure. The USA is quite frankly done at this rate. Why both Ukraine and Israel are trying to suck the USA dry is beyond me because if the USA is out of power and resources, both nations are next on the chopping block because they need them to survive even a few days.
