Interesting thought process - certainly a welcome from the false and frankly foolish bravado and aatami hatiyaar BS that most of your countrymen love to spew out. The problem is - in any monetary union, the country with the strongest economy wins out. As we see in Europe where Germany enjoys...

Little sense is ascribing it to a nationality. These people excelled at their jobs and the respective boards considered them to be the most suitable at a given time in the context of where they felt the company need to head. These people succeeded because they were good at what they did - not...

Onion diplomacy. :azn: Dude its onions, not oil. Sell, don't sell, matters little.

A joke of a country - their PM's word and a joint statement has no meaning. :pakistan: Pak obsession with Kashmir makes them highly predictable - among the other unsavory adjectives that could be ascribed to them. Being predictable makes them easy to outmaneuver. Last year, after the FS level...

I remember gloating over the claim that Modi had been pressured into talks, when anyone with half a brain and average understating of the situation along with players involved could have predicted the outcome. Its well knows that Pak is a joke of a country, the word of whose PM bears no...

One must not mix drinking with Twitter. Apologize and move on.

You are missing the point. Let me try to see if I can clarify. Pak has never had the power to do anything you accuse US of and get away with it. If it uses nukes, it'd be obliterated, if it invaded some poor defenseless country - others would respond and so on. Take '71 (not for any Indo-Pak...

Hot air or not - its your country's policy, not a throw-away statement at a bar. It unequivocally indicates that your country is fine with use of nukes on civilians even without a similar attack - which you are condemning US for. 'Not real' is a silly attempt to escape - most of the scenarios...

You forget they are 'bad' terrorists. Anyway, I don't usually bring those sensitive topics at PDF - not really required. Plenty of other routes. Barbarism is subjective - varies with usage. So if you are weak you can threaten to use nukes on civilians but if you are a super-power you are...

Nice for a pep talk I suppose. Does you army repeat this often? Anyway, since you did not respond to any substantive part of my post, I'll assume you have no counter or do not wish to provide one.

Do you oppose your country's nuke doctrine which allows a first use? You argue that if you are attacked, you reserve the right to retaliate with nukes - even if you have not been attacked by them. Why is that justified and not US's use of them in WWII. Will your nuke attacks not kill millions...

Of course but such historic cycles involves decades if not centuries and the real American dominance has been since the WWII where they have been able to dominate economically, politically and militarily. So they have plenty of time, particularly with no real challenger. More importantly, the...

True. Attaining a dominant position is difficult, maintaining that position is much harder. History is full of such powers - most recent the Soviet Union. US policy is to make sure they are the preeminent power in the world for the foreseeable future - as any sane nation in their position would...

So has this 'impressive strategy' been tried a thousand times by now? :coffee: First, get your 'higher than mountain and deeper than valley' friends to raise Kashmir before anyone else in the world even raises an eyebrow. Realistically, you'd need a mini-Kargil for anyone else in the world to...

Greenwald - a decent mind wasted on typical leftist BS. He should stick to what he is most known for - revealing more NSA secrets. :coffee: By the way, what ever happened to the thousands of docs from Snowden's dump still pending to be published? Afraid or compromised? :azn: Are you a...

'Those who don't know where they came from, have little idea of where they are headed' - or something to that effect. Those capable of comprehending the meaning of the above statement should understand the significance of Sanskrit from that perspective alone. Those who aren't - don't interest me.

Most people, even those with 'best' education seldom break out of the propaganda they are exposed to as children. In India, the dominant propaganda is the Nehruvian silliness. The problem is BJP/Sangh has been really in power twice before and not for sustained periods where they could purge the...

Non-proliferation - to the Pak 'friends', go look it up and find out what it means before whining. Even otherwise, all states are equal, some are more equal than others. You will only see India becoming more equal as we truly begin to grow.

Obviously. That was the whole point of this port for us in the first place. Not to mention significantly safer.

Little to do with Pak. Our relations with Iran are mostly concerning our economy and fuel security and not military. We have plenty of other options for the latter. Also, considering that Iran's constitution forbids any foreign bases, unless there is a constitutional change, that's an entirely...
