It still strikes me as funny that the F-14, long synonymous w/ American aerial might (in no small part thx to a certain Tom Cruise movie), didn't actually do that much for the US in battle. Instead it was Iran of all countries that benefited the most from its capabilities during the Iran-Iraq...

I was just thinking, if Korea were one nation, then adding up S Korea, N Korea & Unified Korea, medals would be: 49 Gold, 47 Silver, 53 Bronze, Total: 147. Making Korea second ahead of Japan, not too shabby :D

Just some bullet pts about Hawaii: - 1893 overthrow was anything but voluntary - 1959 vote on statehood was very voluntary - There is a grassroots "Hawaiian Sovereignty" movement, as well as lingering resentment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_sovereignty_movement - America has already...

Yup, it's just a matter of time, if you have the resources and will :victory1: Now it's up to East Asian teams to keep improving too, or they will get left behind. Same for Pakistan, India et al. If folks from that neck of the woods ever fell in love w/ football the way they do cricket...

Came across this article from CNN Indonesia, but its very general; anyone hear any specifics about what issues there might be?: The Ministry of Defense Mention Jokowi Requests Review of Jet Project KF-X / IF-X Bintoro Agung , CNN Indonesia | Bintoro Agung , CNN Indonesia | Rabu, 29/08/2018...

Normal behavior, the parent/s, upon realizing what their child has done, apologizes and returns the merchandise, the merchant graciously accepts returned merchandise, maybe both laugh about it cuz kids are grabby (especially if the merchant is a parent too). Things went very south on this very...

The game or the trailer? No, I enjoyed the game, but kinda hard to live up to whatever it was the trailer promised imo Shoot, we did still get an entire USA map :usflag:

Oh you are no fun. Fine have it your way, you know your heart :pakistan:

Sure. So, Pakistan in place of Vietnam, India in place of China, GO! :pop:

Just something I watch sometimes when I wanna chill: P.S. No, the game is not as good as the trailer would have you believe :tongue:

Thank you for the informative response, had to read up on CPEC. Very smart, China secures access to Arabian Sea, Pakistan improves infrastructure, win-win. The thing is, Pakistan is a very willing partner in CPEC; ASEAN is not w/ the 9 Dash Line. ASEAN gains nothing, only loses. I'm going to...

Don't want to give too much away, but towards the end there was something that made me go, "Whoa... epic road trip!":

Here's something that may surprise you: I agree with you. Every country should stick w/ their allies, but also be able to call them out when they're doing something wrong. Neither Hamas nor Israel has been a bunch of angels. I try to call a spade a spade. The US has toed the line in the face of...

And some of you guys still don't own up to Imperialism? Well I guess its bad PR, I dunno, but how much does the PRC really care what others think that it still bothers to keep up the charade? "On 12 July 2016, an arbitral tribunal constituted under Annex VII to the 1982 United Nations...

You're right, Iraq too, enemies everywhere :guns: Oh, I googled Asian Games football, it was one of the headlines. I'll keep an eye out for the basketball game, best of luck :tup: As for China, their rise is inevitable, their population/talent pool is too large, and they're pumping so much...

Are you following marked trails, or roughing it? Those cottonmouths/copperheads freak me out, at least w/ a rattler you hear em

Aloha! Not a local like you, wish I was :tup: (say that's a shaka haha). Yeah, the Asian American population there is probly the best integrated of any state, like HI is the one place where they're not seen as the "perpetual foreigner", in part cuz they make up such large part of the population...

I usually don't pay too much attn to the Asian Games, but this time around there's something more on the line. If the SoKor Men's Football team can win gold, then they (and in particular Son Heung Min) would be exempt from military service, preserving 2 yrs of their primes. Top threats are...

Back in the "6 warnings" thread, the 7 minute "China History" vid, would love a critique :-)

Hey @Jlaw my man! Would love to hear what you thought of the video :victory1:
