Kraut's series on mexico is really good if you haven't seen it yet. I have to finish the last part still.

Yes I agree completely, this is exactly what I mean. There is much larger world outside of politics and geopolitics (these latter two tend to disproportionately wield larger control over media spotlight/narratives compared to their actual relevance in the end) As with everything, it didn't...

Thanks for the long reply bro. Agree with you overall. Nadeem was somewhat unlucky to medal in the final, he would have gotten there if he repeated his qualification throw distance more or less.... and gotten bronze I believe. Pressure of final gets to people in the end sometimes, especially...

To some degree I agree about the 1914 style powder keg polarisation taking ship geopolitcally in Europe (and world at large). But key thing we have now unlike 1914 is hindsight of what 1914 eventually meant and did in that first half of 20th century. 1914+ it had yet to happen....the...

Forgot to tag @VCheng for this thread perusal.

The source of the "oh no no no" contagious laugh:

Heres a part of an earlier thread that speaks to that in deep way beyond words: https://defencehub.live/threads/combat-analysis-war-history.488/#post-4739 It is good thread to explore/post in if you like military history stuff btw.

Another launch is coming up @Cabatli_53 @Gessler @Anmdt @Combat-Master @guest12 et al. Hopefully we get to pre-covid schedule ASAP. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/india-to-get-advanced-eye-in-the-sky-ahead-of-i-day-with-gisat-1-launch-on-aug-12/articleshow/85142272.cms NEW DELHI...

Since this does bear out in connection to AFG war (in relying on top down perspective and assertion to make as close to black and white binary a possible...on top of the US intervention itself)....here goes: Giving such commentary (and qualifying with "mostly") requires one takes a genuine step...

Regardless these humble folk (rising by their own effort and hardwork solely) prove the sparks and embers are there, ready to turn into fire. Pakistan has to find way to take these embers to generate fire....rather than throw them to the wind and see if they stay lit. This ember nurturing was...

It used to be more the case before....its changing now...slowly, but slow is better than nothing. Take just wrestling for example. I was looking at India in formative time I grew up in.....and they would send like a cpl of guys and come back with zilch. They got next to no coverage on...

Those bois at china lake are always up to something...

It wasn't Tirkey. It was another fella, less well known....Marathi iirc. Think literally just had couple years at most on the team. I forgot his name....might try look for it later. It's real simple, sports ecosystem cannot succeed without statist intervention. No one else will pick up the...
