Yeah possibly. Even Sadat wouldn't have thought that his army could fight the Israelis in the open dessert without SAM cover. Or perhaps he was betting on Syrian breakthrough in the Golan and possible capitulation of Israel war machine.
I didn't quiet get what you meant by Roosevelt cheating...
Egypt actually lost the war, if we take into account they wanted to destroy Israel. Unless, if Egyptians only wanted Sinai; then it was a partial victory.
In my opinion in '73 Israel has won the war though paying heavy cost to her reputation.
What a load of BS. Both the numerical and...
I always wandered why didn't Israel purchase weapons and military equipment from Russia. The Cold war is over and Russia is not backing Israels enemies except I guess the Syria. Haven't Israel ever tried to improve it's relationship with Russia?
Russia is currently looking for any customer to...
There is no trouble paying back the loan. The only issue is that the port city project was initiated by the former President of Sri Lanka, Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksha. The current PM of the country, Ranil Wikramasinge came to power amid allegations about the port and citing port won't be profitable...
99 years is a long time even for a state. Many things could change with in 9 years. Take an example of Hong Kong. Sri Lanka would lose so such strategic advantage by leasing H'tota port to China for 99 years.
Sri Lanka can still pay the debt without going bankrupt. It is only the current...
The current PM couldn't stand to develop the H'tota port to it's full capacity. He has came to power criticizing the port and many other allegations. Therefore his only saving grace is to sell the port and claim it was sold to reduce the debt burden.
This is rather unfortunate for the future...
Tamilnadu has no future being a lonely independent state. It's progress lies with the union of Indian federation. Other than that Tamilnadu has to fight very hard to keep the current prosperity it enjoys.

Not all the ideals of communism is bad. The "one for all and all for one" theme is quite noteworthy in my opinion. No single person can survive on his own. He needs the society as much as the society needs him. There should be a equilibrium between the two.
Indians are racist as f*ck. So are the we all South Asians. We tend to cry fowl over our own people get attacked in the West but we do the same for Africans who are darker than us.
Don't play the fool. IMBL between India and Sri Lanka is not situated in a vast ocean. SL Navy still tracks Indian fishermen activity by satellites. Therefore it is a outright lie to say that IN coast guard can't monitor the IMBL area.
The blame is entirely on Indian side. Your fishermen...
First off we don't now sure who shot who in the first place. It could be SL Navy. Second we don't know for sure where did they got attacked, either inside the Sri Lankan zone or Indian zone. Anyhow Indian government should advice Indian fishermen to stay away from the IMBL. It's good for both...
It's not communism. It's social welfare. IMHO it is government's responsibility to take care of it's subjects' health irrespective of their wealth. Healthy nation is a happy nation. Besides it removes the mental stress of the people who are working hard to secure some money for a large medical...
