Excuse me? Singapore toothless? For a single-island city state, it packs quite a punch and has the most modern fighter aircraft in its arsenal in Asia besides South Korea and Japan. Not to mention its small but high tech arms industry and a very well trained Army. Despite being a tenth of...

You know, this is the most shocking news I have heard. Russians manufacture some of the best fighters in the world and still unable to design a UAV along the lines of Israeli Herons. Wonder which industry do they lag behind in... electronics?

But this won't be helpful in the long run after what happened to Lehmann Brothers. I agree that there's more chance for the money to flow from European nations to American institutions. However, world is increasingly looking towards Asia and to be honest the only two countries that make sense...

But SCO doesn't have Japan and South Korea and therefore the entire burden of stabilizing the region falls on China and Russia. Countering economically not as a group is different from countering as a group. And I don't think that Japan and South Korea would be joining the SCO any time soon...

I know that very well, mister. Political stand doesn't always mean a counter balance attempt like the Communists tried and failed in the form of Soviet Union. It means a distinct identity. We also fought in World War 2 despite being neutral, so I am aware of how Europe has been in past and how...

Jigs: I was referring to T-Rex. He might have understood. I understood your response clearly and thanks for that. Meengla: I agree with your first part very well. Since the World War 2, Europe has been struggling to gain its influence around the world that it had during the 19th and 18th...

From what I heard, SCO is an economic zone meaning that it is likely to be a counterpart to European Union Economic Zone rather than NATO. Even then, SCO is not even close if you consider the contrast. How many full members are economically strong and stable? Two or perhaps three if we include...

Calm down please and re-read my response to Mr Pak-yes in specific. You'll see the perspective with which I raised the subject of my astonishment of Turkish Army's inaction.

Hello there. I really appreciate your standing up for Hinduism on this forum. Though I am not an Indian, I find it extremely despicable that most Indians in order to impress the moderators of this forum forget their own faith and make the entire world of Hindus (mind you, there's a considerable...

Indians, brace yourselves. You'd most likely see a flood of European money into your market, and perhaps European immigrants to India :lol:. After China, I think India is the most lucrative alternative the the Asian giant now a days hailed as a more secure investment zone from IPR perspective...

You actually think so that religions are man-made? The political element of each religion's fundamentalism is; not the religion in itself, my friend. :) PM me if you wish to discuss that further.

Oh yes of course; blame the UN instead of a crazy fundamentalist government ruining the lives of Iranian citizens by isolating them from the world community. Pitiful.

Based on what? The NATO/ISAF troops rely on their own infrastructure, engineering and developing of combat systems. How many OIC countries do you think are capable of doing that? More than half of them rely on Europe and United States for their military infrastructure; the remaining rely on...

Thank you for your kind efforts in educating me about these happenings. However, most members who display hostility to Israel justify the reasons to be a whole lot different and non-political than you have mentioned here cleanly. In fact, I'd go to the extent to say that you are the first...

Tell that to the Canadians on this forum. :). I believe it is more like in our case in Switzerland; policing and patrols rather than fighting full blown wars.

I am beginning to wonder why Netherlands and Australia are so apprehensive about inducting the JSF now. There has to be something in it that is keeping the two countries on their toes.

Yom Kippur war involved in a handful of Pakistani pilots. Don't blow the conflict out of proportion. While the individual skills of these few pilots is to be respected, there's no way you can portray that it was "we kicked Israel a$$ for the first and only time by shotting down there 3...

Could you tell me what is the significance of this video here? The woman doesn't seem to be under the age of 18 years and therefore doesn't qualify to be a child bride. The case seems to be typical of what happens around the world regarding infidelity. My sympathies to the woman. But please...

Every nation has had the choice to support a motion, reject it or abstain from it. So what possible actions can you do against a motion that has already been passed other than abstain from it? It would only weaken your ties with United States that you built with such difficulty if you "throw the...

Mr. Pak-yes, Hahaha! Of course Turkey is not a client state to Switzerland! For your kind information, even we are not a part of European Union. You are needlessly bringing religion into this. I don't know why so many Pakistani members here are obsessed with bringing religion into every...
