Japan had head start in three key ways over Turkiye: A) Meiji reform era started in 1868 versus Turkish republic founding in 1923 (i.e 50 years difference) and what this means for various institutional building + reform that was done in this period of time that Ottomans did not address due to...

LOL. Way back me and my buddy used to play another game together online and we were really good as team and get on teamspeak etc to cooperate well and chat. Most of the time we would win as we got really good.....but when we did lose he always used to perfectly mimic "game over man, game over"...

The DSR-SAR satellite tech was acquired by Singapore from Israel @Jacop

BTW @Ripley , the Terran dropship was based pretty much fully on the dropship and the pilot chick here heh: In the pipe, 5 by 5.... (One of the game quotes I remember the best in the game, I loved using dropship to drop siege tanks/marines on the enemy harvesting line far from frontlines lol)...

Launch of 7 Singaporean satellites was successful

Loved Istanbul while I was there. Such great city, real nice people and atmosphere. Will visit again for sure. Wherever you have trade deficit with some country today, you got to look at the investment story of the last 10, 20 , 30 years in those sectors between the two countries. Production...

Yah its why I bring up the Israeli one in my earlier post already. Precedence set already, and now its broken for this war selectively. Also as I said earlier than that, if Europe has its PR squared away to leverage more of its "lagging" members w.r.t support to Ukraine (France, Spain, Italy...

Turkiye is doing pretty well compared to Thailand actually. Thailand has a whole host of challenges and problems somewhat unique to it that is very long topic to get into (I lived in many parts of south east asia overall and seen certain things firsthand myself). Manufacturing value added in...

She is well within her rights to refuse a handshake....or boycott in first place. I have no issue with her decision. I would likely do the same if my country were in a war with another and the other athlete/competitor had kin involved in the war that has spilled blood of my countryfolk in...

OK, then the Ukrainian competitor has a point here from her standpoint (and I sympathise with her). i.e Neutral flag is just used as flag of convenience here by Russian athlete. I still don't like IOC making exception here....as then it has to make exceptions on same basis consistently with...

If there is qualitative transfer of technology on it past what DRDO has accomplished....then it makes sense. India has to further rationalise and prioritise its RnD at least 5 times more intensely than what it does now to push through a number of things vertically....so where Israel aids in...

Yes its unfortunate the arrogance in political realm, expressed to level of throwing the baby away with the bathwater (now overnight found to be deficient). You know what I think about Indian political scene as well. Its a conundrum we share, the intensities vary (and I can show the numbers I...

I don't get it, the Russian athlete was competing as a neutral to begin with. So how is a determination made by another that she is fully onboard with her country's actions in Ukraine?...to not handshake?...even by their own logic. That logic would need the other athlete to be officially...

Thats great. The India - Israel defence relationship goes from strength to strength over time.

For we shall win through, NO MATTER the cost

At current juncture, UCC is bad idea. If it was to be done, the hard work should have been done in the 50s while there was fresh beginning and conducive atmosphere for such a thing to be done in relative good faith (and identity politics free way)....after the good job (all things considered in...
