QM: also I want to address one point the anon raised here
>>6317880Offering emerging economies like Indonesia or India etc advanced technologies to bargain for international support / coalition type inducement etc. I thought this was a very interesting strategy but let me give my reasons for why a country like India or Indonesia might NOT accept this. A historical example can be seen from 2018 when Mark Zuckerberg and facebook offered India essentially "free internet" through what they called the "Free Basics" program,
internet.org which they described as affordable internet as a human right etc
Part of this Facebook free internet for India program would have required the space launch/leasing of Eutelsat Ka-band geosynchronous satellites, to provide the gigabit throughput coverage and availability in remote internet access areas across India etc
But in the end India rejected it and Indian regulators banned the service purportedly on grounds of net neutrality but also likely because they recognised the undue influence this exchange would exert upon both the development / nurturing of their own industry, as well as the anti-competitive effect / dependency it might produce.
In the nuclear domain, a real world example we see is how the UK is part of US nuclear sharing (sharing basically means vassalage) , yet France even as a NATO member does not participate in the US / UK, NATO nuclear planning process and retains its own independent air and submarine launch capability.
https://www.chathamhouse.org/2025/03/france-should-join-natos-nuclear-sharing-arrangements-strengthen-european-deterrence>"By contrast, fellow NATO member France has always reserved its nuclear weapons for national protection. Its nuclear enterprise is also completely independent from the US, producing all components required domestically" (...)So these examples furnish my mental rationale for why India or say Indonesia might reject what seems like a very generous tech offer from another international entity, I don't really know if this makes sense, is believable or realistic, maybe it should be more like Master Of Orion 2 style tech trade "You get... I get..." lol but it is the reasoning in my head for that decision
ok let me get back to preparing the next scenario lol, hold on...
