What is quite concerning is Turkey has lost about 10 billion dollars in forex reserve in last 2 months (I assume some portion of this to defend the Lira and another portion the increasing debt repayments).
TR. Total forex incl gold. (USD):
July = 90 billion
August = 84 billion
September = 80...
I think Pakistan is more than capable of solving the issue peacefully even right now. The ingredients are all there, the recipe is no big secret, the best cooks can all be found....but they at the top just need to be willing to have the good soup be made and served.
It is the one thing about...
Will you suggest one for Eastern Turkey?
If not, then I fail to see how "peace of mind" argument applies anywhere else.
How a country comes into being, the process is very important, the constitution is extremely important in what the scopes it sets out legally...including referenda.

If issue is full control over a river....Pakistan could have made it clear by not entering into any negotiation for this river system....much less signing a treaty....and making it very clear complete physical territorial control of a river(s) was the only position they could accept.

65k troops is not 2 full divisions. It would be about 4 full divisions or maybe 3 full divisions with a lot of independent brigades.

14th
16th
36th (this was just 93rd brigade though it seems)
39th
There was an independent...
There have been no new reports of Canadian diplomats coming down with mysterious symptoms of what’s become known as “Havana Syndrome” in nearly two years — and no answers for those affected.
That’s despite new reports from the New York Times and GQ Magazine that American intelligence sources...
It was my misunderstanding. It is much clearer to me now the manner you approach this thread, which I have learned much from reading (earlier I just skimmed through and missed a bunch) and am in your debt again on this topic.
I will hopefully have to revisit the thread again (hit all the likes...
Its platitude in the end. Cold war era jargon is useful for it (while you maintain/need economic relations), but really in the end it will be seen by how/what Indonesia acquires in its hard power domain this decade and what cooperation it does officially and also unofficially....as to which...
As a whole and in general, Canada is very used to piggybacking off USA for major geopolitical threat like China now (and USSR during coldwar).
This is why this cost exercise is even being done with an eye to reduce the total cost by half from 60 billion to 30 billion...and why even type 31 is...
Yeah they were aiming initially for 2022 start date for construction (given that would mean less cost for the shipbuilder and program in the end as it would not have to layoff people when deWolf contract is completed in 2022 there) but I have a nagging suspicion it will slip into 2023 given this...
