    Well ISRO budget is about 2 billion USD. Total govt expenditure in latest (ongoing) year is projected about 940 billion USD. So its not anywhere close to 5%. This is off-topic. ================================================ Simply with TF-X we let time pass and see how things go in the...

    Live Conflict Afghanistan - United States War(2001- 2021)

    There is lot more pragmatic+utilitarian dimension to the relationship (past asserted ideology etc)....esp given the heavy factionalism on both political sides. So when that utility recedes, the old issues come to forefront. No one in AFG can seriously accept durrand line imposed by British...

    TR Foreign Policy & Geopolitics

    The point I was trying to make is I do not understand why you have to put any country on some pedestal (just because you perceive them to have said so). Simply treat every and any country as regular as any other (tribalist-default foreign policy) and it all makes much more sense. You have to...

    India was never part of NATO, in fact for large part of cold war it was closer to USSR. US sent a CBG to threaten us in 1971 (among other things it did before and after...that simply it has not done with NATO partners)....and we always keep that in mind and US knows this. You can only make...

    In local language where I am from, we tend to say something along lines of : "some weathervanes are so close to politician rear and the gas/farts"... :LOL: Honestly, decent+educated+rational members should just ignore one-liner weathervane spam-agitators. They will be jumping for joy when TL...

    Russia lacks the offensive capacity to invade Ukraine.

    Well it is not just the offensive capacity, but the long term plan and costs associated with even a best case scenario of invasion of another country. What next, and how do you fund that occupation....of a now large even more hostile population to your forces/people? Or you just want to do...
