Hits me very close as always with this topic in general:

Regd. "tradingeconomics" numbers: Total external debt for Turkey = 440 billion USD Nominal GDP = 742 billion USD 440/742 = 59% Very different to 33%, last time it was 33% for Turkey was around 2010. Also using 59%, if you think "hey look at countries at 100%+ or 200%"...please understand...

Till I see a critical mass of muslim leaders and populations starting boycott moves against China to the commensurate scale given the precedence set with France here ... I am not going to find the issue approach consistent and credible. Why I bring up the geopolitics side of it is exactly to...

Like I said I know how politicians in India think. Some also aren't too against having extremism-provider so there is some prevalence of extremism on the ground for their political purpose....so the issue can linger and score points and wedges on. Too many times "ends justify the means" have...

Yes with thorium and even plutonium, things get a bit more complicated compared to well established Uranium (that is also the starting process governing India's program). Let me try explain a bit for the interested reader here (this will be all you need to know to impress someone on the topic)...

Essentially the private sector and private consumers are being squeezed w.r.t their borrowing and credit needs....to try finance the commitments for the borrowing Turkey govt made. Private sector and private consumers run their affairs far more efficiently and optimally given there are so many...

Disclaimer: Potential NSFW pics and account testimony at the link I read about the bravery of one of the victims (she managed to flee but succumbed to injuries) @Vergennes ...may this brave woman rest in peace...

You are correct debt is being held at relatively the same level (thus ratio drop given GDP growth): http://datatopics.worldbank.org/debt/ids/countryanalytical/TUR Barring the spike at 2016/17 which saw increase from 400 billion level of the period 2013-2016 to about 450 billion which is the...

Got a fiery gas leak? Soviet solution: Nuke it

Some movement happening on the fast breeder (PFBR) project: https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-nadu/2020/oct/30/indias-first-prototype-fast-breeder-reactor-in-final-stages-of-commissioning-2217153.html The picture in the article is incorrect, that is the VVER reactor at Kundankulam...

My friend, you mean well and this is long conversation I could have with you...we will agree on a lot. But real world is very different, I know how most politicians think and what they will ignore...and what they would rather focus on. Same with lot of regular people (who have same attitudes...

RIP, it looks like the perp was arrested, we will know more with time. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54766208 At least two people have been stabbed to death in the Canadian city of Quebec by a man armed with a sword and dressed in medieval clothing, police say. Five other people...

I wish it was so simple...but it never is. The human mind, too much of it is greedy and doesn't think in deeper terms. So Saudi oil money talks ....and the influence + strings attached are not well understood till much later. When that happens, then removing/countering the extremist strain...

It is my thought on the issue too. The production line will not be restarted...that much is very clear. Don't know where some are getting the idea that it will be and even have costings lol...if you know what mothballed capacity w.r.t secctor looks like at this length. What may happen...

It is long complicated story and history. The main issue is how one identity ultimately rests with other ones an individual has....compared to how its done in other societies (especially ones that see themselves as having transitioned into a more enlightened rational approach on it). For...

@Paro I agree, but I think PKS was just keeping things focused on the Abhinandan side of things evidence related etc...as there is ton of things before and later that also matter in significance on top of other things going on (that you mention) during the actual critical engagement etc. None...

I think they will be coming with time in the same channels...not sure what the hold up. I see China, Japan, Brazil also missing, some others too.

Turkey being Rambo, reminded me of the old early youtube days of Turkish Rambo: RPG phuump! sound effect (y) EDIT: this is the one with the RPG sound lmao:

RIP :( ...my favourite of the Bonds. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-54761824

Problem with the logic here (Army must bare fangs and get job done) is: a) Pakistan is not founded on secularism like Turkish republic b) No mass literacy (and other progressive nationalist development) like done by Ataturk...that too on secular principles c) Thus the army is not staunchly...
