Nice. Nice. I was more interested in government memorials I.e. people funded memorials. The police memorial is very appropriate. I hope the government erects a nationwide memorial to all terrorism victims in India caused by cross border Pakistani terrorists. The future generation in india and...

HAL would really need to outsource production to privat-public joint companies. HAL cannot run a good production setup. They need to work on designing and just making the prototypes. They should not be doing mass production.

Pakistan needs to build out Railways, especially freight services. But it has no money. So have to rely on roads for now.

Ok then. The issue of lack of purchasing power owing to high poverty levels in pakistan remains. Further fuel prices are out of reach as well. That is why we see a small car market in Pakistan which is further declining. You need solid economies of scale to get good pricing. This actually goes...

While it is all well and good to remember 26/11 terrorist attacks sponsored by Pakistani state, has India even named one monument in Mumbai in remembrance of the martyrs? Even a simple park or statue near india gate dedicated to 26/11 victims memorial would have shown that the people will never...

India’s military plans are getting futuristic not just in name but in implementation as well. This is a big change from the reactive policies that indian armed forces had earlier.

How is car centric infrastructure good in Pakistan? Is there a network of good authorized service centers around the country manned by certified staff from these brands? Do these centers have access to good quality tools, spare parts etc?

Well india is a parliamentary democracy. This means whoever controls the majority in parliament can pass legislations without much effort. This number game in the parliament is what matters - not the percentage voting. There are some constitutional safeguards (supreme court has a lot of power)...

India does appease and show concern for the Muslims in Kashmir. Else they would have done what Turks do to Kurds or Pakistanis do to their Baloch and Pashtun population - that is bomb the shit out of them. Minimal collateral damage operations that Indian armed forces conduct in Kashmir valley...

So how do you explain NATO’s expansion despite assurances to the contrary by the original NATO members, based on which the Russians back then under Gorbachev eliminated the Warsaw Pact (USSRs own version of NATO)? Since this is a fact, can’t Putin and Russians not cite these broken western...

True that timelines matter. But why do you expect Russia to degrade beyond a certain point like the USSR did? Russia is monolithic, bound by Russian orthodox Christianity and has self sufficient resources. True it won’t be as powerful as the USSR, but it is not as powerful as the USSR even...

I seriously think Putin is not underestimating the situation. He knows meddling in Ukraine (44 million population with a decent armed forces and western weapons and economic support) is very dangerous for Russia and a diminished Russia could become China’s lackey forever which is far more...

if Putin thought this was going to be a cake walk, he would be the dumbest leader ever. And would deserve everything that happens to him and his cronies including a public execution at the Red Square. I don’t think Putin is a tinpot dictator. Lol.

Yes. Kargil was a great opportunity for India to take territory and keep Pakistan Army forever in a defensive position.India’s bad political situation combined with a lack of money to hold onto captured territory did India in. I have explained this in a very detailed post in another Kargil...

Well not if you think that Russians do not want western style democracy but a Russian style whatever system it is in Ukraine. I mean we heard propaganda like “Russian soldiers were told it is a training exercise and then they suudenly realized they were lied to and now want to fight a war in...
