People of power/influence fomenting social tension to the point where a partition and ethnic cleanse (in border areas affected) doesn't mean inevitability all along. The same reason why what happened to East Pakistan/Bangladesh in 1971 was not inevitable. Things were manufactured by a precise...

Not just Brazil. Venezuela will invite the ire of India too....many Guyanese are Indo-Guyanese and we have deep relations with the country as result....along with commonwealth connections too (Guyana is traditionally counted as part of the "West Indies", cricket links etc). Venezuela is not in...

We could make this thread the Pakistani "hangout" one @Saiyan0321 , what do you think? This way it follows format of the other large subsections (TR, IND, INA, BD) where each has one thread where non-English content can be shared and discussed etc.

Any interesting updates on the AESA radar (KLJ-7A)? It has been a while since I followed its progress.

Yeah Trent has made some great music as well, and it was very gracious of him to say the song essentially had become Cash's now. Cash has made a number of covers (it makes sense to take excellent songs and "cashify" them), just a few days back I came across his cover of "big iron", which he did...

However factual you feel your sentences are isn't the point. The point is what I've seen from certain Bangladeshis and their discussion reels...often with my own BD friends watching over my shoulder giving me some good context. It wasn't meant towards you personally. Who dares wins. The...

RIP to your uncle. Sad to hear. Will be keeping tabs on what saiyan gives us on these regiments later. Also just saw you are related to "rescueranger" (whom I also remember quite fondly), good stuff.

Countries have various interests. Autocracy is secondary or tertiary concern if a concern at all (since the non-autocrat, pluralist principles apply to your own country, not others, the constitution applies to your nationstate, not others). Take the US cultivated approach to PRC in the 2nd half...

I have a friend who's dad served in the RCN. When I stayed with them a while during a visit, meeting his dad for first time and having lot of conversations in general.....he became very solemn one time when topic of pearl harbour came up (he had also visited the memorial)...still hurts to this...

It is an aside to get into (so maybe best suited elsewhere)....but I will leave this here for a large country ahead of subcontinent in GDP, to just what can get overcounted/conflated etc (by purpose or accident): If there is a steady rubric to apply say Arvind Subramanian "actual correlation"...

Putting a bookmark here and will get to some specific thoughts I have a bit later.

@Maula Jutt , you are a fan of Cash right? He hits a lot of the blues I have on the PDF story, regrets and ways things could have been...

The auto translate feature works nicely on his channel (for our international audience in forum), good stuff. I have enjoyed keeping tabs on his analysis over last cpl years or so.

Its somewhat anecdotal quote (he expressed his concern differently in reality). BTW, have you watched the movie "Tora Tora Tora"? This was movie I watched a lot growing up as it was one of my dad's favourite movies of all time.

Yeah if they got the ambush set up right and the bear is small enough (bears even brown bears vary in size a lot). It wouldnt be worth the risk to take a full sized brown bear head on though (or even a mid sized brown head on). Ambushes on smaller guys are name of the game here for a tiger...

simple solution is to have the people follow what they "virtue signal + vote" for. The street dogs are suffering, no one's benefiting here (people or dogs coming into contact out on streets). So they either go to the pound (screening, adoption and if not possible, euthanise), or you can have...
