If you look at a city like Karachi. Its not able to get autonomy and really take off because the corrupt sindh government wants to siphon its resources parasitically. There no longer being a centralized sindh government would partially solve that problem. The areas of the country that want to...

It is important to sufficiently devolve powers away from the corrupt and disconnected, to the actual stakeholders of resource allocations. Localizing governance, "subsidiarity", could actually be a helpful means to that. Its not a debate of localization vs competence/repsonsiveness. Those two...

We have the gold standard of municipal governance and autonomy, and special economic zones right across the border in China. However the feudal lords have had too much power for too long, and no interest in anything positive. Just petty thieves. There is a need for a strong technocratic...

This one looks pretty wild:

If the agreement requires Saudi Arabia to shift its defence arrangements completely from the US to Turkiye/Pakistan, then it could make sense. If Saudi Arabia will continue to host US troops / equipment, and allow them to operate from their soil, the agreement is strategically incoherent in...

I'd say with the US's difficulty replenishing interceptors, and the difficulty maintaining the injections of oil reserves, both sides are in a bind.

It's all theatre directed mainly towards the domestic American audience. They are trying to portray Israel as being having less influence and control than it does. Note that he's speaking on Fox News. From the statement by Trump, to this media outing by Netenyahu, you should assume that it is...

Just because Zionists demonize something, like Islamist groups, doesn't mean they actually find it undesirable or un-preferable. It is a very common tactic to create the conditions to justify your own intervention. You can observe this throughout imperial/hegemonic histories. Simply put, they...

The cars seem to be good quality, and they are significantly more affordable than western-made EV's. They will probably do well when they come to Canada. There's a bit of noise in that article I think in terms of the reasons provided, I don't think the decision is political having to do with...

What is your take on this speech by Selcuk Bayraktar? I thought it was quite well spoken. (apologies if this has already been posted, havent caught it yet)

The complete degradation of this thread, is the mutual responsibility of this derailment agent 500 and those who indulge him. It is obvious as daylight he has no intention towards objectivity or truth, but someone like this can only exert influence through others buying into that false promise...

Honestly I don't think this guy is just a cook, this is deliberate conditioning for the arrival of the actual anti-christ. This guy is just a Temu pre-antichrist who functions as a harbinger to the real thing.

you cant make this stuff up in the parent tweet:

This is crazy if true:

You are missing nuclear enrichment, basically the war will resume no matter what. Unless Iran decides to concede and become Libya 2.0. As for your coalition statement, no countries beforehand demonstrated the will to hop on to the crazy train with the US, nothing has changed materially for...

Iran will need to recoup the costs of war firstly, if a consortium of the countries which participated in the aggression against Iran can re-constitute their damages (this would include the UK which provided basing), then that would be a start.

The spiritual connection between Turks and cats remains undefeated.

pure insanity

In Türkiye, a dangerous trend glorifies the 1990s I just read this article on Daily Sabah, and it was such a striking example of a status quo trying to suppress mass criticism of its economics. It seems neoliberalism looks and acts the same wherever you find it.
