Congrats to India from Europe! Well done :tup: Two remarks however: Firstly, contrary to what has been written in this thread, it is NOT the first Mars mission to succeed on the first try. The first mars mission to succeed on the first try was ESA's Mars Express in 2003. Mars Express -...

Yes you are. Transnistria War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Civil war in Tajikistan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ........all while living in Germany of course.:rofl:

America enjoys naval supremacy in considerable part because it has completely free and unlimited (warm water yearround) access to both the Atlantic and the Pacific (not talking about the Arctic), the most important oceans. How many oceans does China have access to? Let's look at a map: only one...

Probably because the Germans developed it together with the Americans (not SeaRam directly I think, but it's ancestor). Designer General Dynamics (now Raytheon) / Diehl BGT Defence Manufacturer General Dynamics (now Raytheon) / Diehl BGT Defence RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile - Wikipedia...

This is exactly true and what's so crazy about many Muslim immigrants. They come to Europe because their countries suck in the first place. And then, once they have passed the border, instead of starting anew and adopting the customs and values of the coutnry they migrated to. They cling to...

Why are these Russian soldiers wearing American Woodland, British DPM and French camouflage?

The economic importance of Russia has been *completely* exaggerated (by lobbyists, shady journalists etc). Just for your info: Russia is Germany's 11th largest trade partner, behind Belgium and Poland...

It's what they said in the doco and there are plenty of sources for that: Les touristes chinois dépensent trois fois plus en shopping que les Américains Statistiques: Les Chinois sont les touristes qui dépensent le plus - Société - lematin.ch...

Yes. The Chinese are known to be the tourists which spend the most and therefore they have become a prime target for the usual suspects (robbers etc).

A couple of mistakes, pretty funny nonetheless. Pro tip: the best european parodies are found in Polandball Comics. Nothing comes close to those in terms of accuracy and humor ;) It's quite dangerous, yes.

Original or bootleg? Bootlegs were quite common in the USSR from what I have heard and also Metallica and Iron Maiden played concerts in the USSR . Anyway, the band is called Aria. THE best Russian heavy metal band to this day. Excellent music and well known to Western Metal connoisseurs...

I think it was becasue of the graphic content (see the red and blue text at the top of the page). And in the meantime Azov Battalion makes recruiting videos with Manowar :woot: Manowar > Deep Purple :agree: Heavy Metal > Hard Rock :agree: BTW I am surprised that the old people in...

This is an excellent analogy. Besides, Kazakhstan existed before in the shape of the Kazakh Khanate: History of Kazakhstan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IIRC neither the majority of Turks nor the majority of Europeans want Turkey to be an EU member, so I think it's kind of a non starter anyway. IMO Turkey has 2 realistic options: 1) Privileged partnership with EU 2) Turkic union One would arguably give them short term gains, the other long...

That's a HUGE swing in a matter of only one month. What happened?? Political scandals? Aggressive PR campaigns?

As someone who has taken the ICE a dozen times, Shinkansen several times (Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka and back) and the Eurostar once (the older one, back in the 90s). I will say that the Shinkansen is absolutely world class. I hope the Indians choose it. It's a pity though that European high speed...
