    Indonesia Maritime defence and security issue

    This post is a good example how your previous advice is bound to failure. In the end some people simply don't want to listen/read to what other people said. Apparently you are one of them.

    Asia's military budgets surge as armies go high-tech

    I don't know in which paradise you are living right now. But here on earth, almost every country in that map already used their 'fancy' weapon several times in the last 50 year.

    Emerging and Frontier Markets: Economic and Geopolitical Analysis

    The salary hike is only one of the small problem. Businessman just need some predictability/stability, for example tied it to inflation so no more protest every year and stop the union from forcing the worker to join the demonstration, also no sudden hike just because the mayor wants to curry...

    Emerging and Frontier Markets: Economic and Geopolitical Analysis

    The problem is deeper than that. The labor law is too rigid and too biased on the worker side. At the same time no government or political party dared to side with the businessman afraid that it's going to cost them votes. So more often than not it's much easier and simpler to import from...

    India Needs to Join Asia's Emerging 'Chinese Order'

    I don't get it, what's so special about the maritime silk road? Beside China initial investment, what make it's different from current status?

    France in Talks with Malaysia for Rafales

    You still have misunderstanding. The quoted price is the price of the unit only, not include the spare part, etc. Remember the Korea F-35? They pay total $7.06b for 40 of it. It's not about the cost will decrease or not after larger order, but the way plane marketing speak. It's like if you...

    France in Talks with Malaysia for Rafales

    That's a fly away cost. For F-35 if you include everything that kind of price is not possible. Remember, Brazil paying $100million++ for their Gripen, even though the fly away cost for Gripen only around $50-60million.

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions

    I'm still confused about FGFA/PAK-FA. 1. Is both the same project with different name, or FGFA is derivative from PAK-FA based on India requirement? 2. If Indonesia buy PAK-FA from Russia, will India get monetary benefit (from part manufacture, IP right, etc)? If not, can India independently...

    Dassault Rafale, tender | News & Discussions

    At the same time, Brazil also sell some of their plane to Sweden + they can sell the Gripen to neighboring country. Also Brazil can gain additional monetary advantage from any future sales of Gripen (part production).

    7 districts to be returned, Nakhichevan gets corridor

    AFAIK Azerbaijan already propose to give the autonomy since long time, why would Armenia agree with the proposal now? If they agree, Armenia will lose everything that they fight for without getting anything useful, as bonus they also losing direct access to Iran.
