Nice one there :lol:. Thanks for correcting the location. I just signed in after ages and didn't know what to do to reflect realtime changes. LEMOA is a logistics agreement between American and Indian forces for specific designated bases for operational or technical purposes. It is not our...

As if they came to us the moment we asked for them. They have remained neutral in our disagreements with China. The only reason they came to the APAC region is because of Taiwan, Japan and the recent spate of diplomatic wars between Australia and China. I don't understand what makes most...

Simply re-hashing an old mechanism that we used since USSR's time. India only accepts UNSC sanctions as per our policy, not individual countries' sanctions. While we have full sympathies for the suffering of common Ukrainians, they should be bashing their idiotic President who provoked Russia...

Very well observed. Even Zelensky played down the war rhetoric that was being trumpeted by Boris and Biden. Macron took the pains of meeting Putin and Scholz vetoed banning Russia from SWIFT. This clearly indicates that collectively, MOST Europeans do not want a war with Russia but want to...

Our official position is clear; We do not support any military solution or factors that provoked a military action; We understand that there are legitimate security concerns for everyone here: Ukraine's sovereignty and Russia's concerns of stationing NATO missiles; NATO, Ukraine and Russia...

This is a turning point for the European Union. The EU leadership, namely France and Germany must take a step back and assess the situation. Vladimir Putin is not a threat to them; he has no interest in annexing the very countries that finance his country's budget. Macron has to take the step...

It may not have caught anyone's attention, given that it is in Mandarin anyway. They do have the advantage of scrubbing it off. But this time, it came out in the open.

Turkey won't leave NATO without a concrete assurance of a similar military alliance. Why not stay and extract whatever benefits it can until the right time comes. It is located in one of the most valuable crossroads of the world; straddling both Europe and Asia. If they leave NATO then they get...

Seems more like a chance to get back at EU and prove that they are the top dog in the European continent. Basically, the UK has been wondering its role as a member of the Five Eyes now post-BREXIT. It is developed, strong and innovative even today, but yet it does not lead an international forum...

It's a good start. Air exercises are the first place where the capabilities can be measured in near-real-time scenarios without the risk of aberrations or problems. Whoever got the idea is a smart chap.

Simple reason: France is not meddlesome. It cares about the $$ but doesn't bother what you want to do with their jet once you buy them. Rafale will continue selling well for some more time and generate good sales for Dassault. It is also one of the few jets that do not have any US component in...

Well, he is your PM for now and has succeeded in distracting the UK. What are the chances of British forces sending covert ops teams to take our Russian area commanders? Too much of a stretch?

He's far away as a state guest in the most secure part of Moscow. Given that Pakistan is as neutral in this as we are, he is completely safe and no one would want to change that.

Then why the hell did you push them into the war by provoking them to make statements of joining NATO? This is the same weird-*** thing you did with Georgia back in 2008.

Good to hear that, bud. Sadly, your PM BoJo is on a warpath and even more aggressive than the Americans. I wonder what is his obsession and dislike with Putin. Seems more like a way for more BP/ Shell oil to flow to the rest of EU while cutting out Russian O&G.

Hasn't Russia de-dollarized 90% of its international trade and financing already? I thought that's why Russia consistently remained among the top 3 buyers of gold to build up reserves all these years. Smart move. The world needs a second and a third option. Creating multiple baskets of foreign...

Western Europe needs to realize that Russia does not see them as an enemy if NATO stopped expanding and trying to destabilize former Soviet blocs. France understands this to some extent and is probably the friendliest possible western power towards the Kremlin, but Germany and everyone else are...

I saw a documentary about this city. First of its kind in town planning and implementation. Public transport is going to be a challenge though since everything will be connected in a linear fashion. Not exactly an ergonomic design but since it is in the middle of nowhere, this might actually...

Well, this is a good gesture and shows that there are more than one ways to resolve the misunderstanding between Gulf Arabs and Israelis. Once that is resolved, Israel can ignore the extremist ones and take further steps to strengthen its internal security. In the end, you got to do what you...

Well, if Pakistan could raise it with Putin and urge him to cool down, that window has closed shut. As of yesterday, Putin officially sent troops inside Luhansk and Donetsk. Raising the Ukrainian concerns at this point would only harm Pakistani interests with Putin. Turkey has already sided...
