Amid wild fluctuations in stocks and range-bound trading in bonds this week, the U.S. dollar marched ever higher.
The currency is set to finish another week stronger, which would mark 12-straight weeks of gains, the longest winning streak ever.
And pros say though the move has been sharp, the uptrend is still firmly intact.

Clearly, you are talking about some imaginary India that does not suffer from religious and ethnic violence, corruption and overwhelming poverty.

Speaking of currency manipulation.
I do find it hilarious that you are incapable of giving an informed answer instead of your typical deflection.
By all means though p[lease provide your evidence and sources of currency manipulation. I would have figured you would have included it with your dismissal but I will give you the benefit of the doubt in that you forgot to include it.

or the fact there are almost 400 million people in India who do not have access to electricity. To counter that issue the new PM is pushing a program of building nuclear power plants (thorium as well) to change that. That would in effect reduce their reliance on China or Russia for energy needs.
Sanctions work both ways and with winter on its way the folks in Europe might find it a little cold if Russia stops selling them gas and then they might rise up and tell the USA occupation force to sling its hook.
Putin is not the criminal here and it is high time after the truth about 9/11 was revelaed that Americans do a bit more to clear up the mess at home before allowing the criminals to piss Russia off and get you all killed
"What USA occupation force"
The one that has hundreds of US military bases all over Europe and not a single foriegn base on its home turf.
The one that uses bribes and blackmail behind closed doors.
The one that does a Dr Kelly if it does not get it's own way.

Putin has violated the sovereignty of its neighbors. Pointing your finger at other wrong doers does not make it right. Ultimately, Putin's actions will be disastrous for the Russian people; that is all that matters.

I have told you Putin does not matter. Russia will stay steadfast even if Putin is replaced.
The issue is too fundamental to Russia than something Putin's fancy.
If you think Russia will allow killing and looting of Russian speaking people in Ukraine, you are dreaming.
