And Russia is on the moon, isn't it? Ukraine has been more with Russia than most modern Western countries even existed. Come on man. You can't make that shit up. :lol: That's funny because the US is not involving Ukraine at all in this entire matter. It has become a NATO vs Russia with 0...

Pakistan does not even recognise Armenia. What was a Pakistani family doing in that country? I am truly as intrigued. Sexual abuse against innocent children should be punishable by capital punishment. No excuses and no exceptions. No kid should suffer such a trauma ever.

Your location is too precious for them, bud. They will never let go of you, even when you declare yourself to be firmly in the Chinese camp. Earlier, the American expectation was to get bases in India. But we don't do that here since it does not serve our interests to jump on a particular...

No thanks. We have a good numbering system which is among the oldest in the world. It is shared by the people across the Subcontinent. Let's keep at it. Maybe you live overseas so processing is difficult. But once you move to India, it is a matter of time you get used to it. It would be better...

Guys, what's the E-bike market for you like? Is there any interest in working towards a complete shift or is there still some hesitation wrt power and charger distribution? I ask this because we are also facing some challenges and am assuming that the challenges would be similar across the border.

What Russia needs is new gas markets. China overwhelmingly buys Russian gas and oil and naturally, it is becoming more and more dependent. EU is willing to commit economic suicide by following the Americans into an abyss of Ukraine-Russia conflict, while the CAR 'stans are themselves gas and oil...

Germany is going to do what the US tells her to do. Period. I was categorical in saying that Germany has full autonomy when it comes to economy and trade and therefore might deviate. But once the missiles start flying, they will follow the US. FYI Ukraine is not a part of EU or NATO. So...

This is not good news for the region's businesses. Much of the UAE relies on transshipment trade and tax-free business investor money. Even if no missiles are able to penetrate Emirati air defenses, they will still be categorized as a "high-risk" conflict zone, evaporating all their funds. I...

It is really sad to see an entire country on the brink of hunger. Kudos to China for sending out humanitarian aid. This entire episode has been a fiasco. Shoddy withdrawal, no planning for contingencies and no information.

As expected. I am glad that we took a rational and neutral stance. Ukraine should be the one deciding their path forward rather than this becoming a USA vs Russia thing. Though I am curious why Gabon and Kenya abstained. Their participation itself was surprising in the first place. They have...

The government has officially announced the development of Digital Rupee as well. This is going to be the future format of the currencies worldwide as more and more countries develop their digital infrastructure. Bitcoin is like an open door; if someone can come in, even we (read Indian...

Iraq was through and through a US-British operation with major involvement only from Turkey. Simply because Turkey is much more aware of the adjoining regions than the Anglophones. Germany was stationed in Afghanistan along with the rest of NATO teams. The simple reason why they are not being...

This is quite the upgrade Nigerians are getting for their air force. They were operating the F-7s for quite some time. Given the Chinese-based architecture in both the systems, it will be easier for the NAF pilots to transition. Somewhat like transitioning from Mirage to Rafales...

Makes perfect sense for Germany then. Since WW2 ended, they are anyway a US outpost. No strategic autonomy beyond civilian trade (like Japan). They are not allowed to have their own strategic missiles, can't develop their own long-range aviation despite having full capability to do so, and has...

That means Germany is almost on board. It remains to be seen whether the US Congress would clear the sales for UAE and Thailand, both of whom are keen for the F-35 (sans the political disagreement).

I am not surprised. Lockheed Martin needs more sales after it has tasted blood in Poland, Finland, and Japan. After failing at the UAE deal due to inter-governmental disagreements, they are naturally looking at a replacement. A nudge to the White House to pressure Germany is almost natural. The...

Business seems to be good. China has mastered the art of trading while ensuring it remains indispensable for the global trade. We may disagree, but this is something we Indians admire in China. You guys are smart in ensuring that your interests are met at all costs.

Looks badass but what excuse will NATO give to fight Russia in a non-NATO country? Also, are your people ready to accept the costs of a war after a pandemic and the other campaigns that the American government wants to close to address internal issues? Just curious about American / NATO...

That is what the Brits want the Russians to think. Look at it this way; they have been operating smoothly with American blessings for years. With operations across the world, many times when the global attention is diverted towards their bigger colonial cousins. This is much like what France...

That still does not explain how come Russia has not responded to the UK and is only focused on American statements and positions.
