Honestly I think every major country fingers are bloodied and have hypocrisy in the end when it comes to foreign affairs and weapons trade and such things. Selling weapons to another, knowing it is to be used on yet another....has millenia of precedent now. Maybe it has become more visceral...

Every country is a hypocrite in foreign relations in the end...especially when it has the sizeable weapons industrial capability. But there are different levels to hypocrisy in general. For argument sake and going to foreign affairs first, let us say France does not sell any kind of weapon to...

The topic is appearing in the news again lately: The Bloc Québécois is demanding that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau apologize on behalf of the federal government for the implementation of the War Measures Act during the October Crisis in 1970 and the detention of hundreds of Quebecers.

Disagree. There is a heavy precedence in French law regarding this (involving especially the main religion i.e Christianity). Macron is on fully secure ground here (and also why every EU country that has spoken backs him too)...there is a huge volume in just the French supreme court to look at...

I suppose they couldn't really account for rise of China and rise of Putin....and of course things like 9/11 and rise of this whole neo-con + neo-lib degeneracy in power and politics. I still remember Russia looked so weak in Yeltsin years...every other day there would be something in the news...

Sad to see her go. I always was fond of empennage-trijet design in general....powerful but keeps the wing nice and clean.

How long now have you gone without using punctuation and sentence spaces? :D

Best wishes to Turkish friends and members here on their republic day. 🇹🇷

Quality control matters folks

Horrific. Nothing else to say. RIP to these innocent victims. Civilised people stand shoulder to shoulder with French nation. 🇫🇷 Best of luck and Godspeed to French intelligence agencies to fully see this through to the extent required. @Vergennes

I saw one of these visiting Canada totally by coincidence just few years back (at CFB Trenton). It was part of Russian military service for open skies arrangement.

https://www.airforce-technology.com/news/boeing-partners-with-five-companies-for-canadas-ffcp/ Boeing has reached partnerships with five Canadian aerospace companies as part of the multi-billion Future Fighter Capability Project (FFCP) of Canada. In August, Canada received three bids for the...

They are related reasons due to ignition and boundary layer effects (too long to get into). My research discipline is combustor based for jet engines...and there is key reason we use annular geometry as the basis....it is related to both navier stokes and surface area maximised by annular. That...

I am not. Why would I be? You can call me anything to your heart's desire. You mean zilch to me...you don't even know me.

A fairly good article on the underlying issue: https://www.ft.com/content/cb70275f-8b7d-453c-9184-6d65815a8b10 No one forced Erdogan admin to choose this policy of loan intake and infra spend (over say RnD and esp export-based factories). This is the main driver in the decline of Lira right...

That's driven mostly by the relative inflation of the currencies...Turkey seem to be around 10% inflation in this stretch of years, CHN around 2%...so 8% difference yearly that compounds when you trade even same set of goods and take same set of loans etc. Poor day by day would be more on PPP...

Quick question (and then my take on this issue and a larger issue beyond that): If a Muslim (in whatever definition...let me go by the basic one that submits to the Quran as his/her central tenet of faith) is offended by these cartoons in some significant way, does that not mean he/she is first...

Welcome bro, from your satrap to the East. :D
