Actually Pakistan was not in "better economic situation". This is somewhat being established as some conventional wisdom now, but its not the case to be honest (even if you focus on only say industry). For example infant mortality rate from 1960 - 1965: Pakistan = 172 India = 155 A better...

tbh, IN should have gone with Naval LCA to use alongside Mig-29K (given Mig 29 K problems in this high stress environment where it was kind of rammed into without same finesse you get in western platform). This way Mig-29K can be less stressed and their service more comfortably drawn out (by...

It really doesnt seem this war will be resolved soon (despite what Ethiopian central govt says). I wonder if Tigray long term becomes the next Eritrea.

Intro to one of my favourite movies of all time (A real life angel narrated it..."Angel of Arnhem"): Highly recommended movie + story to read up on, if you don't have time for it ....Armchair historian did a good summary of the whole thing:

Will have to come back for further reading. I found the part where he said "two nations, but united in incompetence over Colonel rank"....most delectable hehe.

Yes I have always put Shastri no. 1 too, in fact my whole family generally does (even the Modi fans).

With war you have to force a political result for it to be a win in neutral eyes... Ofc when you know much more than a neutral, invested much more than a neutral ever could be....you know what a win vs lose really is in the end, but it can't really be proven in such quick direct way like a...

What are your thoughts on Art. 370 repeal? There was really too much noise at other place that made discussing it with (esp with other Indians) near impossible there...and I forgot where people lined up on it.

I would still pick 1971, the full breadth of planning and operations involved. There was a clear undisputed victor too. 1965 was a stalemate for both sides...and thus both sides claimed victory too, but in neutral terms nothing was really resolved for a clear win by either side. Indian...

Welcome to all new members! Welcome buddy, time to wean you off your regular futile environment to a more pleasant one here where you can actually accomplish something :P

Yup time to move on, though this discussion is inevitable since a big recent transfer of folks just happened and ppl are wondering about context etc. It will dwindle naturally too as people settle in and better discussion topics establish. So yes time to move on ahead and do something lot...

It wasn't the message per se (wasn't the first or last time some wumao chided Pakistanis on that message), it was the manner and method that stood out to me. The crazed fool was literally saying 180 degree opposite before and afterwards outside of the thread and in no time everyone was gaslit...

It has to do with peculiar situation and context of Canada (w.r.t all other Western nations), it is very unique. Basically, there is a big north south divide of great relevance (for security + defense etc) South of this, you find the Canadian provinces with 99% of economy and population (35...

I enjoyed watching this one....that era when transition to rockets over guns started given the advantages. With further development of sensoring and guidance, we now take such things for granted on modern warships.....but back then the basic innovations and doctrines had to be explored and...

https://www.skiesmag.com/news/canada-air-task-force-romania-rcaf/ The intercept of a Russian Su-27 Flanker by two CF-188 Hornets over the Black Sea on Sept. 23 might have been relatively straightforward, but it was a significant marker and confidence-booster for the Royal Canadian Air Force...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-55111061 Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed says government forces are now "fully in control" of the regional capital of the northern Tigray region. The army earlier entered Mekelle as it stepped up its offensive against the Tigray People's Liberation...
