Well fact it even comes up (as referendum) and SNP and mrs fish have strong political leverage there is something similar to Canada issue with Quebec. SNP after all argues they would win referendum done now with post-brexit and are working to have one again asap. These are federally...

Yes I referred to this in this post earlier: https://defencehub.live/threads/azerbaijan-and-armenia-clash-over-nagorno-karabakh-region-updates-discussion.1423/page-272#post-25133 The summary of Mr. Gupta's analysis overall was the significance of drone warfare to determine the result on the...

Somewhat true. But also they got specific loans and know how from Japanese (Japanese reasons for doing so I will cover bit later, it has to do with both WW2 and cold war). For example the first integrated steel plant (company later become POSCO), shipbuilding knowhow and a number of other...

Honestly MWF should have been the size to begin with. We likely would have had 10 squadrons or more of MWF built, deployed, integrated and doctrinated by now if the overall project management was set reasonably in the 80s and 90s rather than "has to be within this small size....REEE!" It first...

Well Indian foreign debt and forex levels are about equal. India also maintains and expands appropriate relationship with GCC with their remittance (and general trade esp with UAE) in mind....while strictly giving a flat no to any intrusion into "mullah training" antics they seem to make demands...

I think an alliance can be worked upon. 2 are already in one explicitly (with mutual defense clause) i.e UK and Canada are NATO founding members. It would not be a stretch to expand that to Australia and NZ over time. But I do not see anything past a military alliance forming much less working...

I will start here when I get some time later @Indos I have put it on my to do list for now. Maybe others will also be interested to contribute too.

You ain't seen nothing yet! I think we will hit even better stride in 2021.

Good. India welcomes this. Hopefully the time wont be long till every Pakistani worker/resident is significantly reduced or even totally deported from UAE and that remittance stream is shut down....and given to India and Bangladesh to add to theirs. Then move onto rest of GCC, another welcome...

Forgot to tag @VCheng @Paro @xenon5434 @Deliorman @Dante80 if they are interested to give some input/comments.

Let me give a counter-perspective. I don't see an actual country forming across oceans (colonies from thalassocracy is different era) in the mid term (anything is possible in long term, as long term just depends on how you define that time period heh). Thalassocratic colonial structure...

Best continue that convo here: https://defencehub.live/threads/indian-manufacturing-analysis-debate.2569/page-2#post-28009

Honestly I wouldn't concern too much with BD market for cars...defense or otherwise, esp what 1 or 2 typical sorts think/project/assert on defense forums.... we just get things done there on the ground: Indian Railways loaded 83 pick-up vans 🚚 from Kalamboli in Maharashtra to Benapole in...

@Sinan See, your govt is not silent. Let us wait and see how this goes....I think timing is important to get right.

Didn't see one up yet, so I started this. @Gautam ^^^ we need to get to at least this level of onboard video (SpaceX level etc can be later) for launches ASAP....our quality is subpar and it really is not that difficult imo.

@Yankeestani its funny you brought up walter cronkite actually. It got me thinking a bit....who was the "old school" newsperson/journalist/MSM'er most stuck in my memory for presenting the US side/perspective in my early formative era (90s)....and it would have to be Dan Rather. I forget...

Yes this is true, but large part also comes from sheer size of Indonesia and federal weight built up in institutions (even if you have seized it in absolute way at very top like Suharto). Nearly all Arab countries (and most African countries too) are all much smaller population and are run as...
