    There was a coup in Myanmar

    When a junta decides to lay in the boots, any excuse will do. Yeah, cancers do that.

    None of my posts above show any bitterness or animus, but are simple statements based on verifiable facts. Unlike your openly biased and indeed racist posts, I have the ability to see and call things in a fair manner, always. Please note that I will not be responding to your personal attacks any...

    To summarize, Pakistan will remain desperate to remain relevant, but US policy will no longer afford it the leeway to remain so. In other words, more of the same with no major changes.

    Pakistan Coronavirus and Vaccine Updates

    Don't expect a thanks. After all, this nation happily took in Israeli supplies when it suited General Zia and his cronies. It may be informative for one to look up the portion India contributes to the entire worldwide supply of vaccines. :D

    Historical The biggest strength of Wehrmacht which is rarely mentioned

    Part of that process that played a role in the downfall were Hilter's purges of his top generals, the likes of Rommel et al. The adverse effects rippled throughout Hitler's forces.

    Historical The biggest strength of Wehrmacht which is rarely mentioned

    Good point. Interestingly, the Allies took care of such supplies in conjunction with their operations. Who remembers this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Pluto

    Historical The biggest strength of Wehrmacht which is rarely mentioned

    Some authors argue that the fatal mistake was opening up the second front with Russia, and its brutal winter, and not anything the Allies did.

    Broadsheet Saga. Tale of mega corruption.

    I'll try and remember that the next time someone trots out old "The Army comes from the people so no wonder there is corruption in it" excuse, right after the "hidden economy" claims. :D

    Free speech and threat to security of state.

    There is no immediate fix to universities and education. Fixes take decades and lots of effort and resources if they are to bear any fruit.

    The Truman Show. The present day social media giants will have their day of reckoning in the courts just like their telecom predecessors.

    Broadsheet Saga. Tale of mega corruption.

    Fair enough, let's stay on topic then. Given that ultimately it is the people that are the source of power for any country, they are the ones ultimately responsible for how they are governed. Blaming outside forces is merely an excuse, Pakistan being a case in point. Its ruling powers decided...

    Broadsheet Saga. Tale of mega corruption.

    Long term, India's economy is a far better bet than Pakistan's. We will see increasing international investments over the next few years, having risen 14% or so last year despite the pandemic slowdown.

    Broadsheet Saga. Tale of mega corruption.

    Are you referring to the military dictators as psychopathological liars, or the present setup, or all of them? Getting the A-bomb was no doubt a great achievement, but it is well past time to move on beyond that in a world where nuclear rivals defeat each other economically.
