I get that the cost of living in India is cheaper, that's not what we're discussing. We're discussing that the value of Indian Rupees are more volatile than USD and you have a better chance of your Indian Rupees losing value than the USD.
If the value of the rupee:USD suddenly went from 82:1 to 2000:1, do you think the cost of the jeans in rupees would remain the same?

Your whataboutism isn't welcome here, and is immediately obvious to us. How much are they paying you?

Even a simple google search would tell you its 241% more expensive in the US and you could have saved yourself the embarassment. But fine, here's an easy example your Yank brain should be able to understand.
An Egyptian buying a pair of jeans from the US would spend $46.45 USD or 3,818.48 Rupees which turns out to be 1435.31 Egyptian Pounds.
Buying that same pair of Jeans in India costs $27 USD or 2,219.48 Rupees which would be 834.31 Egyptian Pounds.
If you still don't get that India is cheaper then you're brain damaged or something. Prices are based on what the market is willing and able to support, not what the value of the USD is lmao. Go back to school and learn Economics 101 or something cause "supply and demand" and how the market works is all stuff that we covered in High School.

And not just for drinking water, but water is the 2 main components of rocket fuel. Only need enough fuel and water to get there. Get the rest on the surface.

I guess I do need some explanation of how shopping works, please tell me how something worth 1 USD would also cost 1 Indian Rupee.
You do realize that the price of things in Indian Rupees in India are affected by the value of the US dollar, right?

Again, you've missed the point where none of them want anything from the US lmao They aren't buying stuff from India in US dollars. Nobody cares how much a US dollar is, they don't want a US dollar or anything in US dollars.
You know how money works, right? Do I need to explain how shopping works and how things are bought?

Except all your examples involves buying USD which none of those countries even want so why would they care about that comparison? They don't care about the yank stock market either. These things only have value to people who want to trade with the US.
Egypt needs 3 Egyptian Pounds to buy 1 US Dollar, and less than that to buy 1 Indian Rupee. So going by your logic, its better for Egypt to buy Indian Rupees than USD. They get more bang for their buck in India, just like everyone else does, not to mention all the moral and political value that comes along with undermining the US.

Kiwi here, wish we would drop the stupid non nuclear stance. I agree that nuclear weapons are bad, but they arent going away.
We get no benefit from this stance except to take the moral high ground, to the detriment of our alliances.
Better to be able to use nuclear power if we so choose, especially in the face of fighting climate change.

The reporter Nawal Al-Maghafi has stayed on this story since 2008; I have the utmost respect for her determination to give Martine (the victim) a voice and Martine’s family answers.
