My understanding is that PM Sharif's approval rating is very high. Why would anyone that politically popular resign?

Exactly, which is why the idea that governments have voted for, taxed and supplied forces for, participate in, and depended on, an alliance they have no intention of fulfilling obligations to, has little basis in reality. Whether it's Oslo, Paris, Berlin, or Rome, those governments know that...

Off topic but I really like the full dress uniform of PAF. Very classy, much more professional looking than the USAF three button "country club blazer".

So Muslims make up over 14% of India's population, one of the largest Muslim populations in the world, and Sikhs make up only 1.8% of the population but ISI is targeting.....Sikhs for recruitment? That does seem a bit "fishy". o_O

It is a fact and the problem of terrorism that is related to Islam can only be solved by Muslims. We Westerners have only had limited success in fighting it and have done much to make things worse. We cant solve it.

Then she should have never voted to defend them. You keep missing the point...or ignoring it. No one is saying that Italy has to do anything. But she voted to defend that "shithole", meaning Italy does expect that "shithole's" soldiers to defend her, while you disparage them and think you...

I can totally understand your needing to deflect to another topic. That says all that is needed.

No, I'm trying to tell you that that is what ITALY pledged to do when she voted to admit Latvia to NATO! What YOU are telling me is that Italy's word is no good. She has no honour and lies in her actions and commitments. She cannot be trusted. She is perfectly willing when she joined the...

Then Italy should NOT have voted to admit them to NATO which pledges Italy to their defence! You keep talking about Italy's sovereignty which I have never questioned. I'm questioning whether anyone can trust Italy's actions or her word of honour when you are telling me specifically.....one can't.

Really? The latest articles that I've seen are like these... India's Rafale deal in trouble over offsets and cost | IHS Jane's 360 With Rafale deal in limbo, India may buy American F/A-18 fighter jets | Zee News

It appears that no such deal is going to happen.

I don't really see the benefits of a swept forward wing outweighing the difficulties and cost of them. I will be surprised if this ever enters service.

Yup, NYC is where I went to one Pakistani restaurant, London was the other. We have an Indian-Punjabi style restaurant about 1.2 hours from where I live that is pretty good. I've tried making my own roti with wheat flour but it only turned out just OK. You really can't make naan without...

No one forced Italy into joining NATO. If Italy feels as you feel, fine. Then she needs to do the honourable thing and withdraw from the alliance and all it's benefits rather than lie to other members and the world about her commitment to the central principle of NATO when she has no intention...

I live in Idaho, in a small town on the Snake River. Very beautiful around here! I actually make my own version of lamb saag which turns out pretty delicious! Basmati rice is easy to find but I have to use good flower tortillas for the bread as there is no place to buy it and you just can't...

I think you might find that Indonesia has more in common with Western 'traditional conservatism' than with 'classical liberalism'. Tradition and Muslim views of natural law seem more compatible with Islamic societies than Lockien liberalism. Being a conservative myself, I think all states need...

Clearly, you are actually an American teenage boy. :lol:

I have although there are far more Indian restaurants here. They generally serve meat dishes though and I think most are based on Punjabi cuisine, and are similar to what I have found in the couple of Pakistani restaurants I have gone to. I love the cuisine, my favourites being dishes like...

I hope you are wrong but as I said, if you are not, then that means Italy's actions and her word can no longer be trusted. Belonging to NATO by definition, entails automation and Italy is fully aware of that. The central principle of NATO is, "An attack against one, is an attack against all."

Great, between this and your wedding thread, I am now starving.
