@Jackdaws @Paro @Indos @crixus @Rajaraja Chola et al. When you have some time these 30 minutes are well spent watching this..... as Indian economy context, current and future are summarised quite eloquently (with strong evidence) by this gentleman. It summarises many hours and days of reading...

You have fairly good read on Pakistan's history. However Zia's admin did not happen overnight, there was a ticking time bomb effect prior to it. Some salient parts chronologically: 1) Objective resolution (w.r.t constitution) that was passed in the way it was (against much dissent by...

Avoid starting new thread for twitter based unofficial content etc. Use existing archive. New threads need an official news article etc.

Archiving completed to Early January 2022. February greetings to all members.

Yes the lyric that stands out most to me is "is liye suno ye kahani". More than any other descriptor....India is a story...of many stories. It is with heavy heart we say farewell to Lataji who has accompanied us for her part in it...in that indescribable way she did with her voice.

Seems we have talked about this before heh.... Indeed the "why" almost singularly originates from their patrician class being unable to directly deal any defeat+revenge to Japan and IJA/IJN. The whole resolution of that came only by the foreigner's action on Japan. Specifically how they...

@HTurk any follow up or further questions you have? Before I bring old friend here to give his 2 cents on it maybe.

Yes one look at world map of US bases locations and also other countries between them that can be asked/pressured to allow onshored US logistical chain says the story easily. This is massive significant strategic advantage US enjoys on world theatre.

You have mentioned this before, have you got a source for this?

Issue is the cost of mobilisation...the mobilisation economic cost might be what Russia is trying to do. Ukraine with its allies must try plan an optimal long term strategy of maximum damage on any Russian attack and also Russian economy. It might not involve a counter-mobilisation at this...

loans* Pakistan has added PRC as big part of its circular loan issue. They are not able to increase their savings (and thus investment) level.

Good move. Kudos to govt on this front. Pranab dada did damage to IN economy under UPA by that silly stunt. If you look at the prospective revenue amounts involved (compared to investment choking that would arise), it didnt make sense even with basic CBA....unless you really wanted to claw...

You are talking about no fatigue limit for S-N curve right? (Unlike that which steel has below a certain experienced stress) It is true but a secondary issue more or less as you can take this into account (it is how we use aluminium alloys in several mainstream aerospace load bearing...

Here was some NATO and Swedish ISR UAV activity (from 18th to 30th January I believe): Credit to: ORION_INT and Ameliairheart (in watermark) and https://southfront.org/

I believe they are a networked bunch of fellas ("defence enthusiasts" they call themselves)....that search + compile stuff at http://fullafterburner.weebly.com/ A few of them might be in DRDO et al. itself....but I am unsure, and certainly not required to be given the archives around. I would...

Please avoid posting of anything that can be deemed as spreading propaganda of such groups. It is advised to post regarding the current neighbouring country events....from only official news articles and tweets with plain information/announcements only. Use shoe on the other foot approach for...

I hope you read some of the longer replies I gave here for now and reflect on them. I will join back again later tomorrow perhaps to see how conversation might have progressed. Jackdaws tagged Joe already, and it would be interesting to see if he pops by later to give his take on the matter...

Hmmm, you seem to have waded into this a bit far now. Can I have some names of these "Hindu leaders" that have been promoting genocide "for decades" (I am assuming prior to partition)? Since you bring up genocide, please state the genocides that happened in South Asia in 20th century to begin...
