So praying is a "third world mentality"? Do you pray? how many rakats in Istinja? 😂

ok? and where did this person in your original post do anything of this nature? You jsut created a BS strawman. you aren't presenting "alternative viewpoints" you are presenting thinly veiled bigotry in bait threads. You just contradicted yourself, you tried typecasting muslims in the US as...

Yes, precisely its NYC, a place where no one gives a shit about anything around them as long as its not interfering with their affairs. MYOB is a central tenet in being a newyorker. Sure it would be better to pray in a mosque, but which mosque? he is in a car with people, where is he supposed...

I've seen plenty of instances of hindus during holi blocking streets and forcefully throwing paint at people who don't wish to participate, not to mention the pollution during diwali or hindu processions blocking streets and creating traffic jams. I visited Bombay during a procession and it was...

Its downtown manhattan, where is he going to find parking? should he drive looking for a parking garage? pay $50-60 minimum? even money aside, how much time does it take? compared to 2-3 min stepping to the side of the road praying 3 rakats quickly and being on your way? You see outraged, are...

No one here gives a shit, its nyc people as a general rule mind their own buisness, as most as he isn't bothering anyone, people don't care, some dude traveling by car, pulls to the side of the road and pray for 3-5 min is not an issue. We got homeless people here living on sidewalks and all...

You know the funny thing is these idiots are barking up the wrong tree, there is no reason to design and build out a SSN from scratch to acquire second strike capability and other similar benifits.. If the intent is to acquire second strike capability or operate in deeper waters, and they are...

Its not comparable, for one thing, an SSN is not a do or die necessity. secondly, an SSN is incredibly complex, the nuclear bomb in that context, is much easier, SSNs were tricky for China, and India only got there after many years and soviet and Russian help. Its very difficult to miniaturize...

I feel like there is a lot of nuance here that you might be overlooking? lol for one thing, Making nukes is a bit different from making miniaturized nuclear reactors to fit in submarines and then getting them to be good enough to actually be deployed on SSNs. Its a whole lot different from...

no its not more "accurate", it gives a real perspective on cost, particularly when materials needed for an SSN program will need to be imported, as the infrastructure for it isn't available in pakistan. This isn't a simple matter of buying bananas in USD in the US vs buying bananas grown in...

You don't have the money even for military purposes. You can eat all the grass in the world, it still won't save enough money for an indigenous SSN program. It doesn't even make sense, it will be a white elephant meanwhile other areas of military investment will be neglected to support this...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)?useskin=vector I mentioned China in the initial comment, but I guess we will see. Turkey does not currently have a SSN program, and its still in the design process for creating conventional diesel AIP submarines, no one on the...

This is true, but nuclear submarines are difficult, unless you are getting them from China straight up, no development required. Sea denial and second strike can be done with something like this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakar-class_submarine?useskin=vector

Building a bomb is easier than building a miniaturized reactor for nuclear submarines, and one that is quiet and functional enough to use in operations. Its very difficult stuff and requires a massive budget. There is a reason why Israel with. bigger GDP than Pakistan and a much bigger defense...

How that gonna happen? Pakistan is broke.

ehh, there are plenty of critics of foreign policy who are native to whatever place, and there are western expats in dubai that do similar things, not a unique phenomena.

They are giving out citizenship in exchange for 1 year of military service, recruiting in central asia and elsewhere in the poorer former soviet states. I also remember reading that Russia set up a system where they use data to find "people that won't be missed", or there will be lower concern...

I think he is a pakistani expat, not Dutch. Either way I think there are some noninterventionist Dutch people there as well, usually eu-skeptics and others.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen Ballistic missiles fired off a destroyer before. :O Closest thing I can think of is an Aegis system, but this seems like a very different concept.

Man stop downplaying this BS, its horrible outside. And its not the news, I literally have to look out my window yesterday and the whole fking place was completely orange. Its the strangest thing in the world, I've lived basically my entire life in this city and it was completely bizzarre out...
