The US had almost a $500 billion trade deficit in 2013 and is still hovering around $80-90 billion. Again, a trade surplus is not the be all and end all of good economics. I feel like some articles on how balance of trade works across a wider spectrum might be helpful for everyone here...

Told you that he should've been killed.

I confused SDF with Assad's forces proper (though with the current relationship, the lines are really getting blurred). Syria has been a failure. No matter which way you look at it, USA's primary goal was to have Assad gone and he isn't. ISIS was a miscalculation to destabilize the region that...

I would like to point out that if the only way you can get Turkish companies to invest in domestic stuff and reduce reliability on imports is to crash the economy so hard that everything becomes dirt-cheap, you are missing the problem - which is that domestic production is not of a sufficiently...

Jewish-American liberals and Israeli Jews are two different things. For example, letting the SDF get stronger is against Israeli interests in the long-term. So why is JINSA so interested in it? Because this is about establishing a stronger US footprint in Syria. Hence the emphasis on keeping...

I'm confused, if it's a live power line then why the hell was the police officer trying to grab the guy and drag him to the ground? And how the hell did he not electrocute both of them in the process after his feet touched ground while holding the guy's legs?

I am aware but it seems like even though you acknowledge the problems with the current approach you still think it's OK to keep proceeding on the same path instead of possibly calling a halt and allowing for some recovery first.

So you admit that millions of people will likely die because of this insane policy but still believe that the government shouldn't do anything to fix this insanity, like say, letting the currency's value increase again? Bruh, I don't wanna be insulting or anything but you sound borderline...

Most of it is foreign-purchased but we do produce some stuff like the Istiglal sniper rifle.

Didn't know about this issue of military personnel posting selfies on social media.

Always good to see more co-operation between us and Bosnia.

November 4, 2021 The member of the Presidency of our country, Sefik Dzaferovic, who met yesterday with the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev at the Global Forum in that country, gave an interview.One of the key messages is that Azerbaijan is ready to help Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) with...

Bob Menendez, that cancerous wart on the ass of US politics. Would like to point out he was being investigated for corruption for many years but the case was conveniently dropped just before he was going to be charged. Latinos are pretty cool (used to date a girl from Colombia, very beautiful...

I don't think so. Early on, there were reports that the AN-2s were modified for remote control but later reports said that they were manned, it's just that the pilots were jumping out just before the planes reached Armenian lines. I could be wrong and they were altered bur those planes are...

With a sufficiently long time frame, anything can be cracked. Relying on security by obscurity is always a losing proposition. Plus, do you really think the Tigray rebels are fighting alone? These operations began conveniently around the same time the dam issue with Egypt flared up again.

Generally yes. AN-2s being used as bait was a risky endeavour because pilots had to get them right up near the enemy zone and then parachute out. With a cheap drone, you don't even need to endanger your pilots.

Not surprised, Ethiopia has been getting flattened by the rebels and need any edge they can get at this point.

Putin and most of the Russian elite have their offspring settled in the US. Never really been any serious competition between the two since the Soviet Union fell or more specifically, since Stalin died. In the 90s it was even more obvious since the US was involved in rigging the elections in...

I think this is an old proposition. I heard about Turkish F-35s being sold to Greece all the way back in 2019.

Friend, wind is not like oil or diamonds. It's quite literally infinite until the planet itself dies, what you are saying is the equivalent of saying that using a water wheel is stealing flow from nature. And the Sun loses more energy to the endless void of space than ever reaches Earth. It has...
