Thanks for that. You made a good case. Prabowo seems like a curate's egg i.e. trying to live up to his election promises to provide free meals program and cost-cutting elsewhere. Seems more like incompetence or/and economic illiteracy.

Just looked up bits of his bio. Early tour of duty in East Timor .. ahem. Trained in Fort Bragg .. double ahem (btw watched the Katie show you posted, after reading the book). Etc.

What I find puzzling is that although he is clearly septic oriented/friendly is that he has led Indonesia into BRICS. It doesn't make sense.
