Without verifying the validity of this, go look where the Barents Sea is in relation to the UK. I guess if true thatonly leaves us the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the Celtic Sea... oh and the entire f*cking Atlantic Ocean.
Meanwhile Russia can't even access the Baltic Sea and is rapidly losing ships in the Black Sea. And for the record, the Barents Sea is probably covered in ice this time of year anyway.

The number of "affluent" Indians - people with annual income of $10,000 (about ₹8.3 lakh) or more - has grown 12 times faster than the population in the past four years and is set to become 100 million by 2027, according to a Goldman Sachs report released on Friday.
About 4% of the working age population qualifies to be called "affluent", the report said.
So, with 60 million today considered affluent at $10,000, to grow to 100 million by 2027, it still means even the poorest in France are as rich as the average "affluent" Indian. This is what I meant by the West overestimating India's wealth and the global responsibility expected out of it.
The reason why India is being overestimated is because it's like coming face-to-face with a 20-year-old Elon Musk while knowing what his future will be like. But he would still be a nobody at 20 years old.
It's this 60 million that's keeping India afloat. We need that number to change to 300-400 million, pretty much 10-15 years away.
India's consumption growth is set to accelerate as Goldman predicts 'affluent' Indians to nearly double
Around 100 million people in India will earn an income of more than $10,000 a year by 2027, according to Goldman Sachs.
About 4% of the working age population qualifies to be called "affluent", the report said.

It's a problem for importing high-tech goods, because for these goods it's the official rate that counts, but for everyday life in India, $10,000 doesn't make you poor, because there it's the PPP that counts.@Herciv @Amarante @Picdelamirand-oil @Bon Plan @A Person

$10,000 is decent for a middle class life in a city. But it doesn't translate very well into power outside the country.
The average salary is $42000 in France for 68 million people. The govt can take some of that in the form of taxes, and when it's spent outside, the effect is greater.
For India to be able to do the same, ie, match France, we need at least a doubling of the per capita income across double the people. So $20,000 for 68x2 = 136 million people. This is 10-15 years away.
And that's only for matching France, not the US or China, which will be another 10-15 years away.
If there was no necessity then why even have an agreement with russia for fishing in barents sea in the first place ?Without verifying the validity of this, go look where the Barents Sea is in relation to the UK. I guess if true thatonly leaves us the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the Celtic Sea... oh and the entire f*cking Atlantic Ocean.
No idea, but it's 2,000km away and covered in f8cking this time of year. It's a nothing burger and isn't going to maintain Russian water pipes in winter.If there was no necessity then why even have an agreement with russia for fishing in barents sea in the first place ?
