    India India - Pakistan Relations

    Punjab seems to provide bulk of them. Mirpuris tend to shy away from it is what I have heard, they have better financial connections with UK relatives etc as % of population....so they dont fall as much prey to the usual types handling this stuff compared to larger swathes of population in...

    Defence Q&A Which country has the best units in each category?

    Fair enough, but why the admiral gorskhov for frigate? Explain. Speaking of which, I'd like to hear what @Anmdt has for some of his favourites, esp the naval stuff.

    TR Attack & Utility Helicopter Programs

    Export to philippines proceeded under Trump, no obstacle there. Export to BD if Trump won 2nd term would have been similar. As US has no big issue with BD (in fact they are improving relations more). The issue was with US-Pakistan regarding that one, Turkey got caught in middle.

    US threatens to ban Chinese firms' trading in 2024 over market regulations

    It would punish PRC whole lot more if you look at the investment routes it is reliant on (esp. otherwise*), combined with its continued heavy dependence on USD (debt printing and all) for forseeable future. US market cap can take a whole lot of trillions lost past "2" tbh since its just...
