    Swedish newspapers reprint Mohammed cartoon

    This may be a little off topic ... what TechLahore stated previously lies in plain sight for all to see. This has nothing to do with whether Asians/Orientals were pro-Obama or not. If they were, that's because BHO was seen as someone as "unBush" as it could possibly get. Even my dad was...

    'US has no better friend than Israel'

    It's plain to everyone that another three Chinas plus the whole world and the whole world's worth of trinkets in exchange for electronic US$ won't "defeat" Amrika - militarily or financially or both. At least not from without. But the hateful nihilism that brings down empires eats, breeds and...

    some thing to learn from israel : Community Farming: A lesson from Israel

    Thanks for the useful post. Israel's agricultural model holds lessons for everyone - particularly those in developing countries - from what little I have across on this topic. It goes to show once again that the strength of a nation is first and foremost its people. But the strength of a...

    Baku - Capital of Azerbaijan

    Now the fact that your posts above even engaged my attention is proof positive that I am overdue for a "sabbatical" from this engrossing and marvelous venue ... Time for my time-out.

    Baku - Capital of Azerbaijan

    Flippancy I can entertain. Flakiness OTOH, jinxes you and not me. If you miss junior high, there are other ways to "relish" it. Pity, however, when it seems you are capable of more from evidence elsewhere ... :coffee:

    China circled by chain of US anti-missile systems

    I am not personally convinced it's all "propaganda" (I could be biased). However, their ability to make it "seem so natural" is indeed on display indisputably in so many arenas.

    China circled by chain of US anti-missile systems

    Agree with your first paragraph. But do keep in mind that the Saudis were "constrained" from birth, too - not to excuse their "wealth/performance" ratio entirely ... On the second point we differ somewhat. I have been here long enough to be convinced that the TruthSeeker does seem to be...

    China has U.S. anti-missile tech

    This so-called article from 2006 wasn't from China, as neither is this "shchin&isinse". What's the excitement? I don't get it. :what:

    US says no to nuclear power plant to Pak

    Why waste time with this "champ"? It wouldn't be around for long to make it worthwhile.

    China has U.S. anti-missile tech

    He is saying that he is one of "you" who decided to wear different flags for a day. That's all. :azn:

    China circled by chain of US anti-missile systems

    Leave this "shchin&isinse" troll alone. It is not from China! :smokin: (We have enough trolls without having to worry about this false flag creature)

    Dealing With Chinese Aggression

    While not entirely agreeing with everything stated here, I concur that most Chinese - both inside PRC and among the diaspora, know and care little about 1962 ... And I don't even think it was mentioned to any significant extent in the official media, until recently perhaps.

    Dealing With Chinese Aggression

    That's "a little" bad. The bottom line is that nukes are defensive weapons. Paradoxically, I sleep better knowing India has nukes. Yes, I understand every Indian and his grandmother and grandmother's favourite cow and favourite cow's daily urine output are ALL China-specific, until the day...

    Dealing With Chinese Aggression

    That really is bad, friend. You lost the honor, I'm afraid. It was not just a little "bad". Have you lost it all together? What's this "G2" and "nuking India" nonsense, Honor?

    China circled by chain of US anti-missile systems

    That's a different debate mate. The downsides to Deng's legacy have also begun to show. One can't "pragmatize" away every issue of historical, right-vs-wrong proportions ... And getting "rich" isn't the goal, really (unless the objective is to become Saudi Arabia at any cost - nothing wrong...

    Or play "小白菜" IMO. :partay:

    China circled by chain of US anti-missile systems

    IMHO, the SCO is over-rated my friend. It might be a useful prototype that can morph into something else later. But its current utility is truly non-existent. I see it as a "protest organization", whereas NATO is a "governing organization" - whether you like it or not. In the forseeable...

    US can't attack Iran, and Israel probably can't handle the response: Slate

    How are they going to go para-nuclear when both are essentially American client states? In addition, are they both not within Israeli airstrike radius? The only country that may use Iran as an "excuse" to go para-nuclear (and potentially has what it takes to bring it into reality) is Turkey...

    Azerbaijan sees 'great war' risk with Armenia

    Your point is well registered, my friend. Armenia's resource is its enterprising diaspora (unfortunately that's not something obvious from China. But just going into a place like Lebanon you will see). Armenia's strategic value is its location. For the forseeable future, the road to...

    Azerbaijan sees 'great war' risk with Armenia

    @ Pak-yes Excuse my short interjection into your spirited discourse: IMO the PRC sees no strategic justification, nor possesses the "intestinal fortitude" well into the forseeable future to "sell"/barter any meaningful weapon systems into ex-Soviet republics - particularly when they are...
