    Why India fails to deliver health and education

    Why do people get upset by shit like this? India is a 3rd world country and as with any third world country, not only is public health and education a let down, but also a ton of other stuff. This really isn't a controversial fact, nor is it something to 'troll' anyone with. It is what it is...

    Just to clarify something - Trump doesn't want/expect Indian boots in Afghanistan, he wants Indian $$$$

    Trump: Pakistan is a safe haven for terrorists

    I am not from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan or the US, so I don't have a dog in this fight so to speak. But - I'm just trying to figure out what I've missed in relation to the Taliban being a democratically elected govt - I mean we all remember the Northern Alliance slinking away and the Taliban...

    Trump: Pakistan is a safe haven for terrorists

    yeah...what elections did the 'democratically elected' Taliban win when they seized control of Kabul in 1996? Just because Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE recognized the Taliban doesn't mean they won an election or were democratically elected.

    Trump: Pakistan is a safe haven for terrorists

    *Long Read* - It's from Politico, which is usually pretty nuanced when it comes to different issues, as opposed to the shit the other major media houses produce. White House Pakistan terrorism crackdown 'necessary' to Trump's Afghanistan strategy Threats of pressure to get Islamabad on...

    Trump: Pakistan is a safe haven for terrorists

    Will anything come out of this - probably not. But, this wasn't just some election stump or a speech at a rally full of Trumptards (he'll do that tonight in Phoenix, Arizona). This was his 1st prime time live speech to the nation and that too on a policy issue.

    Trump: Pakistan is a safe haven for terrorists

    So, I thought I'd look up to see if and what Pakistani politicians are saying about this - I can't read Urdu, so if any have reacted in Urdu...it's beyond me. However, Imran Khan has responded...Pretty standard response tbh

    Trump: Pakistan is a safe haven for terrorists

    There will be no economic sanctions/embargo against Pakistan. But, if the US did decide to impose sanctions - European nations would absolutely go along with them. Not because they agree with them - they might or might not. But, American sanctions tend to punish not only American companies from...

    Trump: Pakistan is a safe haven for terrorists

    The India thing was really strange. I see lots of Indians are happy Pakistan got called out and given a dressing down...but, I wouldn't be cheering if I was India. It's great that India and the US are growing closer and the strategic partnership will grow in importance, but...he's asking India...

    Trump to ask Americans to trust him on Afghanistan

    What is the logic behind call to prayer being in arabic in Turkey?

    I'm trying to figure out how it is that you are this obtuse - I hope it is deliberate. Because the alternative makes me very sad :( Your issue is not with latin, vietnamese or any other language...or comprehension. Your problem is you think Turks are superior to Arabs. After all - English is...

    What is the logic behind call to prayer being in arabic in Turkey?

    So, don't. Your issue/grievance is with Arabs and Arabic. And this is borne out by the fact you completely unprompted came up with - 'we ruled them for hundreds of years' - what does that have to do with the Holy Quran and understanding what it is you are reciting?

    What is the logic behind call to prayer being in arabic in Turkey?

    Again - this is down to me. Do I care enough? I cared enough to initially learn enough Surahs so that I could do my prayers. I didn't know what they meant - but, as with anything else...I took it up on myself to make the effort to learn it. I am not an Arab and as such Arabic is not my 1st...

    What is the logic behind call to prayer being in arabic in Turkey?

    And that's fine. He's free to be who he wants to be...love/hate what he wants. But, he needs to stop with the bullshit - it's so transparent, it's not funny. A smarter person would have done this with much more subtlety :lol:
