F1s and the Exocets were enough to cause mayhem in the Persian Gulf shipping lanes, even leading to the accidental destruction of USS Stark from a misfired Exocet. You can't fly F-1s for 8 years into the war and keep firing exocets (Stark was in 1988) without fresh missiles and continued...

How is it that a year ago, all the intel for mobilizing against Ukraine was coming from US and UK intelligence. But now, its Ukraine thats saying the on-set of the new offensive from Russia, with the same intel agencies (by virture of their countries) generally being quiet. Is it they are...

Fair enough: it was Saddam that attacked Iran, hoping that a sanctioned Iran in 1980 and cut off from western weapons would be easy take. It didn't work out that way of course. So Iraq , or rather Saddam, the Putin of Iraq, also engaged in expansion unprovoked then. ANd then 11 years later...

These are tech deals but under certain assumptions that Saudi Arabia will spend an amount thats a LOT more than $9BN (if they don't do already) over the next 5-10 years. None of these companies invest in a country from their own coffer. Its always recycling some of the funding that comes to...

I am not in favor of this war nor the global consequences. That said, you and others need to stop taking the Iran blame game as if Iran is on some inferior morale ground by supplying Russia. Thats neither relevant nor does it matter just because it does not fit yours and other NATO-centric...

Stop playing the India victim guard like Adhani. Has no problem taking money western investors but when somebody shorts based on real data (it happens to US listed companies all the time) all of a sudden its ganging up against the victim. There is no cancel culture: a likely Presidential...

whats the conclusion: its a known fact that rich countries will grow GDP at low single digits. Thats why money and FTI chases emerging markets because economic growth bigger there. And in the context this thread: where is Russia or Ukraine?

This is the funniest post I have seen. I blocked his nonsense 6 months ago because it wasn't worth the eyeball movements or scroll movement to get past the out of context sentences he was posting. Didn't realize that it bothered somebody enough to start a campaign :)

Still shots and nothing else. This is what the Chinese paid former US Marine and RAF pilots (who now will go to jail) to taxi on a carrier. Show a strike group recovering at night then you have made your case and I will gladly except that I learned something. Till then stop posting BS that...

Voluntary consumption for Gas down in Europe (source Financial Times). These are decent numbers: optimizing industrial processes, and not heating pools as much does add up. With increased sources of supply and reduced demand, this economic decoupling from Russia is complete. Even if it gas is...

Russian Foreign Minister was first happy that a normal country (not Iran, N. Korea, not Syria) is now coming into a neutral orbit and visiting him. Two minutes before this the advisers told the FM that btw, Pakistan is on verge of default and a serious problem. Russian FM is digesting that news...

This was to be expected: cannibalization of aircraft for spares and relaxation of safety standards. . This is an indicator of what Russia's oil industry will go through with majority of the oil services companies and technology being western. With companies like Schlumberger out, exploring new...

Russian Defence industry is struggling with its human capital issue: Those that work in the factory will get deferment from military service. But that also is not sufficient: they are getting prisoners to work there. I will exercise my own principle to say I am not sure how much the prison...

Laziest person are the ones trolling random twitter handles . For you the sole source of information are losers on twitter, Fox and Sun. Please work to sound more credible. You are also missing the bigger point which what prompted this discussion: you asserted an 8:1 kill advantage and yet...

Look up your sources. In another post you mentioned the Sun. Just because the guy has an american accent does not mean he has credibility or knows any inside information. He is a washed out Colonel that even Trump could not get through to an appointment either as ambassador to Germany or the...

The conspiracy theorist in me said that Putin fell into a CIA/MI6 laid trap. Boosted by ego, fake economic intelligence, exagerrated sense of military strength, fake political intel on loyalties in Ukaraine, and a boost by doing a few successful military ops in Syria against the opposition to...

Post the Sun article instead of somebody that claims to have seen it. I call BS. If NATO was not afraid of losing Javelin and area denial weapons such as HIMARS, who the heck will give a flying F about dumbass Challenger 2. I call BS. Btw, Sun in UK is considered a trashy gossip paper. Not...

Do you have any source of information from any credible source (even Russian media) vs. just pasting Twitter or YouTube? For everyone you post here there is an opposing YouTube interview so its worthless. What you are stating is Russians are really more pathetic than originally thought: for 8:1...

Certainly let’s start by having tribunals for Muslims killing tens of thousands to 100s of thousands just in the last 40 years and then also against US. Saudi Arabia in Yemen, Iraq and Iran. The reason Muslims (I am one) get picked off is because we set the precedence through our own killings...

I am willing to go with your estimate since its as good as the other people. Infact this war is now being fought in metaverse. All Ukrainians have disappeared and in western countries. You are quite sympathetic to the Ukrainian plight and what they have done to the population. The Ukrainians...
