To provide another military screw up relating to a German submarine, U-110 was captured in 1941 and contained an Enigma machine alongside secret cipher documents. Those falling into the hands of the Allies greatly aided their war efforts against the Axis.

To needing zero ships from the navy for stopping the ambitions of Vietnam to become a regional hegemon in Southeast Asia following the invasion of Cambodia.

Since the article mentioned the size difference, here is a proper to scale comparison between a Treasure Fleet ship and the little Santa María boat Columbus sailed on to reach the New World.

Just so the other guy understands the reference.

I am honestly surprised at the number of protests that have been taking place in South Korea against them, but I guess another possible reason next to potential health concerns is how those who live nearby simply do not want to be the first targets of attacks from North Korea.

I suppose at this point, Bangladesh taking in more refugees is unfortunately the only possible short term solution with how little real action there has been from the international community.

Speaking of a trade war, the foreign minister of Mexico recently said their country would fight back if the United States ever attempts to engage in one with them. Coupled with China, I wonder just how many countries Trump plans on provoking.

How did this clash between ethnicities and cultures become so heated in the first place?

Which particular borders of Pakistan are under the greatest amount of risk from terrorism currently? The long stretch with Afghanistan or the relatively short one with China?

My favourite part about this is how India must admit that China has already become a superpower if they ever want to recognize themselves as one as well.

Wow. So the population of the city has already reached 185,000 by this year? According to Wikipedia, it was estimated to be only at 85,000 just around ten years ago.

The historical inaccuracies of the movie are laughable. Apparently, the writers chose to not even go with the Indian claim that it was the destroyer INS Rajput but rather the submarine INS Karanj.

The only immediate exports will most definitely go to Pakistan, with how close military cooperation has become. However, this project might be in need of investors currently, so it has been slightly disappointing to see the lack of foreign interest shown for it thus far. On a random side note...

Speaking of the Sino Defence Forum, the confirmation e-mail for me never arrived no matter how many times I tried requesting for a resend for some reason. It has been especially frustrating since I plan on posting The Military Balance 2017 report from IISS there. Back on topic, could PT-3...

I have a question. Am I allowed to post the full analysis from IISS of China (as well as Pakistan and India) here in the comments or will it be forbidden since it was paid content?
