Sure. The far more rational approach would be to blame India for all the bad blood between Pakistan and Afghanistan. And for the record, Afghanistan vigorously protested when military equipment worth millions of dollars was deliberately shredded and sold for scrap by the Americans. Their...

Why should India object to the transfer of equipment that only hold relevance in COIN/anti-terrorism operations? I can see how Afghanistan would have problems with the transaction but what significance does an MRAP have in the context of an India-Pakistan conflict? And why would we voice our...

Why are you getting all riled up for? I did, in no uncertain terms, state that there is no justification to excuse what happened. The reason I did ask for a clarification is because I found it strange that a professor would choose a passage full of abuses, to frame a question in punctuation(he...

Relinquish Crimea? Of course not, I certainly don't recall stating something to that effect. What I did say was much would depend on what future course of action Russia decides to take. While there are no guarantees when it comes to Putin's ambitions, reminding him of what's at stake should he...

Which is why it is known as unilateral sanctions. The chief contention of the Indian argument is that they aren't routed through the UN. The same holds true with the case of Iran. India won't back western sanctions against Russia over Crimea: sources

Western sanctions aren't routed through the UN.

I don't think any traditionalist mindset is at play here. If you take out the annexation of Crimea, one can see some resemblance with sanctions hit Iran. With Iran, China and India were able to swoop down and secure some lucrative deals in the face of western sanctions. This not only provided...

I was reading the Wiki page you posted. It seems that one of the accused successfully contested the elections while in jail!!! What a messed up situation!!!

I wasn't suggesting that a radical realignment was in order but rather Russia would look to lean on eastern powers in order to reverse some of the pressure that the West hopes to put it through. As article itself states, defiance by China alone is good enough to break any stranglehold. And less...

If you feel the need to write on banners and take pictures in order to ostentatiously display Pakistani largesse, doesn't it defeat the entire purpose of the exercise? I don't think any Indian would mind giving Pakistan credit where it is due. However, unnecessarily drawing parallels with an...

I wrote a similarly worded post like the article in question a few days back: Putin thanks India for its stand on Ukraine | Page 3 It happens to be the far more simpler and logical explanation to Putin's motivations than what many members were theorizing earlier.

Thanks for the clarification. It's hard to not see an element of mischief on the part of the professor. Either way, it doesn't serve as an excuse. Have any political parties/support groups offered any sort of assistance or is there an air of intimidation around the case?

You look familiar.... Is Imrali Island the Turkish version of Gitmo?

Well, I'm 27 and I am still a bachelor. While I don't mind telling the neighborhood auntie and her kids about it, my primary concern is with the proposition of banging her in the near future!!! :D That said, my previous point was about air pollution and not smoking. You can quit cigarettes...

Taxation without representation!!! By the looks of it, the timeline might not be as far as our children.

Forget cigarettes, the air pollution in major metropolitan cities is enough to give you cancer many times over. The only reason the government makes a big deal out of smoking is to wash away some of that guilt. Rest assured, someone will have to pay the price for our collective sins one day.

The probable reason his post makes sense to you is because you know very little about the subject. It is unmitigated nonsense and I'd suggest you read up on the topic.

It is? Quite the racy language for college(unless it has a different context in the local language), don't you think? What exactly are you teaching folks out there? :P

To be fair with regards to the current topic, comprehensive tests are being carried out by the Chinese government in multiple provinces:

Agreed. The photo is indeed a revelation if it's proven to be authentic in the first place.
