Is the Ladakh standoff between India and China exaggerated?

-
It is not exaggerated at all !
The Chinese border forces have occupied a strip of Indian territory- 300 x 18 = 5400 sq km in Ladakh so far all along the Line of actual control all the way just east of Daulat Beg Oldi in the North to the southern shore of the Pangong Tso lake.
It is with a great sense of bitterness and unhappiness that I have to inform my fellow Indians that If the situation continues to deteriorate in this manner - we will end up losing the beautiful lake Pangong Tso which was featured in the movie Three - Idiots to China.
No Indian will be able to visit the shores of that splendid lake anymore.

This is a very serious matter as the.Chinese are gradually pushing the Line of Actual Control Westwards - closer and closer to Leh and it could so happen that Siachen Glacier which forms the Northern most region of Indian Kashmir could be cut-off and the Chinese occupied regions of Kashmir will end up bordering Pakistan Occupied Kashmir with no Indian territory separating them.
If the situation does not return to normal and the Chinese do not vacate Indian land they have occupied, then air and artillery strikes will have to be used to dislodge them and take back the land they have occupied in Kargil-style frontal and double pincer assaults although the terrain to be traversed will be much flatter than what our mountain troops had to hazard in Kargil.
Time is running out and some hard decisions will have to be made very quickly.
Our nation needs to be prepared for a Kargil kind of offensive against China but on flatter land.
In other words we need to prepare for a limited war with the Chinese who think they can nibble away at our territory using sheer intimidation and a show of force.
India will have to mobilize close to 50,000 mountain troops supported by several squadrons of the Indian air-force and also Multi-Barrel Rocket launchers and M777 Howitzers by the dozens very soon.

Jacob Rees-Mogg making a mockery of British democracy. Is it true?

-

Yes. Far right politician Jacob Rees Mogg is a minister in Boris Johnson’s government. His smooth and smothering tones conceal his contempt of UK parliamentary process and democracy. His suits and speech suggest who merely views parliamentary a stage for his political costume drama for his own wealthy indulgence. Mr Jacob Rees Mogg advocates the UK’s most abrupt and immediate exit from the single market and customs union. He wants fewer new foreign arrivals. His government supports the economic partition of the UK, with the implementation of the Northern Ireland protocol. In 2013, Mr Rees Mogg dined at event organised by the far right  Traditional Britain Group . In 2017, he met far right US political campaigner Steve Bannon. In April 2019, he used social media to distribute a video by the far right Alternative für Deutschland political party. In Autumn 2019, Mr Rees Mogg wanted to shut down parliament for 5 weeks. At speed, he visited the Queen at Balmoral about this matter, expla...

Even during a pandemic, how does the dollar dominate other currencies?

Dollar will grow in value specially in stress. When businesses are doing great in the rest of the world the money follows. When it's gloomy else where the money goes back to USD. Right now, you don't want to stay invested in equities, do you. Do you find debt safe? No. Are you happy with keeping your money in banks? I don't think so. The safest asset class is Government Securities in India. They will give you a return of 6.2%. But can you really trust the government of India when it has stopped getting Rs 1 lakh crores from GST every month? There is one supreme asset class and that is US Government Sovereign Bonds. They currently give you a return of 0.64%. This is why USD is so much in demand.
