The Indian ministers position is based on the History of India, not that of the US. The US has no examples of protectionist policies worsening a depression or recession because it has never happened before. Most attempts at US protectionism have been cut down by US special interests, and the...

Indian R&D, and tele-suport can do a decent job at 1/4 the cost of hiring domestic US workers. They can probably do almost the exact same level of quality at half the cost, barring the occasional accent problem or cultural misunderstanding. This comes directly from purchasing power parity of the...

They already have. Modern forensic ballistics can give you the caliber and rifling almost immediately (Assuming the round lodged in the body). With a little bit of detective work you can find the snipers hide and deduce from the distance the muzzle velocity. From there you can get the precise...

Eh, WSJ is slightly Right-of-center on political/cultural issues, while NY-Times is slightly left-of-center on political/cultural issues. The real difference comes in the economic perspective. WSJ is vehemently against any government interference or taxation, especially as it effects the...

What is the strategic use of a "stealth" LO destroyer within the Indian order of battle? Who argued for it and who wins if it is deployed? Is it stealth naval fire support? It seems like that pretty quickly becomes not so stealth once you open up. Maybe insertion of special operations forces...

Also, more of an issue for the mods, but isn't this in the wrong section? Shouldn't it be in the world affairs section? Note the UK in the subject line.

The US military has a similar notion. In the Marines/Army for example, there are three levels of expertise measured in the standard rifle qualification. Base is marksmen, then sharpshooter, then expert. Each Infantry squad (Generally 12-13 marines/soldiers) usually has at least 2-3 people who...

Actually, the cost of the war to the US was well over 3$ Trillion. 800 billion is a vast underestimate based almost solely on direct extra pentagon expenditures. Including things like health care, missed work because of reserve/ national guard deployments, etc. It is quite easy to triple that...

Polls would disagree with this statement, unless you are going to state that 60% of US citizens are "Religious Extremists". Also, European democracies famous for their liberal social policies (France, Switzerland, Denmark...) are much harder on Islam than US society as a whole is. It is an...

This whole argument is beginning to remind me of another argument years back. Ten years after school shooting, community remembers but sees few changes after 6-year-old Kayla Rolland's death | MLive.com In Flint Michigan, a young boy brought a gun to school and killed two classmates. Two days...

Then you are pointing to the wrong place. Battle of Wanat Historical Analysis: Rough Draft ReleasebyA Battlefield Tourist Overall, by the standards of US army historians, the casualties inflected at the battle of Wanat were the result of Army mis-management, and company/battalion level...

There are 1,652 different languages spoken in India, although over 70% are derived from two major languages. Dravidian and Sanskrit. The majority of the written languages are derived from Sanskrit, although the Dravidian languages (Like Tamil) have there own unique systems. All of the languages...

Eh, I brought it on my own head. First multi-layered sarcasm, which does not go down well for non-native English speakers, and then generalization and pop psychology, which is just silly to bring up if you are not drunk. As for knowing more, eh, not really. I had some relatives at the top end...

Also, off topic, but important to note. Most of the top level design work at places like LM and Boeing is not done by people with PHD's, but by people with Bachelors and Masters who have spent 20+ years in the industry and can bring together very desperate ideas from different fields..IE, not...

Yes actually, I do know the difference between an engineer and a technician. My degree says engineer...So for the benifit of my Alma Mater, I hope I do... And actually, you can be an excellent engineer without being "Innovative", in the strictest sense. Was the 486 a better processor than the...

True, and I am sure they will be priced separately when sold. But the way that the US congress bundles funds means that the money for the SVTOL version comes out of the same pot as the conventional version. So, the R&D costs for both versions are linked. Delays for a single part of the program...

Nope, if you read the post: an explanation. The mention of the engineering degree was to make the point that you need not avoid advanced math. I am not an idiot, there are millions of engineers the world over, who are also not idiots. I was merely saying, if Gambit's supposed lack of an advanced...

Good sir, would you then enlighten this engineer on how ChinaOwnsEverythings views hold weight? __ Self Delete, Off topic __

Eh, Everyone knew the CTOL version was not going to be a problem, given the demonstrated successes during prototyping and the F-22's testing. It is the SVTOL's out at Patuxent River that are the question mark. They are, by association, driving up the price of the CTOL export version...

And here is a bunch of excellent sources from the Author of that book, which should further enlighten you. Of course, he is an employee of the USN, so maybe it is all just imperialist western propaganda from the military-industrial complex.... Dr. David C. Jenn
