Like I get that, but given the basic geographic diktat and realpolitik, keep that stuff personal and to yourself if your literally the PM.
i.e (when so small and landlocked +history and your occupation/agenda/instability in the area + context etc..):
Step 1: keep Russia as happy as can be and...
Yes we air them out and give them coverage (as to their agenda, manner, methods etc) so we can show our people why they are a bad idea, be they the naxalites or other insurgencies.
I mean what's next...the PKK exists and thus Turkey is less stable than Pakistan too? You want to open that can of...
Dude literally is new kind of incompetent. Why announce that out loud (even if its true)?
You are peeving off the country that is literally guaranteeing the peace deal and N-K status w.r.t Armenia....not to mention guaranteeing your own security too in the CSTO mutual defense treaty.
There is...
Singapore Changi always hosting a bunch of USN from time to time right now. I don't think its overall a huge change (in Jakarta thinking)

India has no record in modern formation with half its country (in fact near 60% of population) splitting away.

It is literally one vote away here on out from being...
True, but then again Singapore only has about 4 million + 1 million (expats and foreign labour) to work with.
Korea and Taiwan actually have far larger populations (and space for lot more kinds of industries and services),
They cannot afford to be so govt-corporate model in this day and age...
It does the job... barak8 is really the key for defense of indian naval platforms.
CIWS they are all fairly the same bang for buck (IMO), very last hail-mary resort stuff....I don't think a huge deal separates their performances.
BRI is different, CPEC especially so. Those are just loan-driven infra for peacetime commerce (and CPEC wont even be that tbh given Pakistan economy).
One can do the basic math on what feasibly can be transported on these routes (basic numbers, esp where pipelines dont exist and you have to use...
