    Live Conflict Afghanistan - United States War(2001- 2021)

    There is whole bunch of off topic spam and trolling again. I will wait to see what remains of it a few days later for a better reply and use of time then.

    India Historical Indian War History Thread

    Take it easy guys. Think of bigger picture when handling arguments. AFG war thread is a complete troll-spam fest, lets not bring the issues of that one here.

    Remember govt (net) spending only addresses demand side. Excess demand (and lagging supply) = inflation. I would assume they ran into lot of supply chokepoints and thus created inflation (known to them, but not reported that much) with the spending in lot of areas. Hence the easy step is to...

    China’s ‘Carrier-Killer’ Missiles, J-20 Jets Gives Beijing A Decisive Edge Over The US In Indo-Pacific: US Experts

    You will now get automated repies involving strawmens like "what are they waiting for?" (hypocritically not applied for PRC) and the typical complete misunderstanding of what particular simulations even involve (and what they are done for).

    TR Turkic- Military culture thread

    Well the underlying population then would have been the turkic population today. The genetic distinctions in central asia have been blurry for quite long time....as to iranic + turkic lineages of the population themselves. Though I will admit I have not looked into it at the depth required.

    TR Turkic- Military culture thread

    Yes but these wars were not of the same depopulative style genocide the mongols carried out in their first expansive phases.

    Live Conflict Afghanistan - United States War(2001- 2021)

    The mission in brutal terms was largely punitive one in relation to 9/11. i.e to both punish as many of the perpetrators (ASAP) and then reduce as far as possible AFG's (and relevant neighbours too given abbotabad) potential to harbour elements that could plan and project such terrorist attacks...

    TR Turkic- Military culture thread

    @Nein2.0(Nomad) Nein I would be careful in associating too strongly in the turkic-mongolic (steppe/altaic) connection. The mongols inflicted some of the worst atrocities at scale (on mankind) on turkic areas in central asia (and they would do so on persians, chinese, arabs and russians as...

    This is precisely why Taiwan needs to invest in SSM saturation capability of Chinese harbour infrastructure in the opening blitz of any war. PLA and PLAN logistics are heavily dependent on it for amphibious invasion (Staging and execution)....so that is where ROC needs to step up its game to...

    Yeah they are off their rockers if they think lira depreciation will buy heavy growth. There is no relevant direct investment number (over last 5 years etc) to back it for starters.
