What a dumb take! Don't you know that Qatar is everybody’s friend? They are friendly with the Taliban. They are friendly with Hamas. They are also friendly with the Iranians. Qatar has become indispensable because they are the middleman. The West knows this and uses them as messengers...

There's no full support of either Kashmir or Palestine and hear you are dreaming about raising a front against Hindutva. Most Muslims don't care about a movement that is limited to India. You are chasing phantoms.

Muslims got Pakistan. It would be best if you were happy about that.

Not only Israelis but the whole Middle East, especially the Gulf states. Trump scuttled the Iran nuclear deal. Gave the Gulf states the US full support. So much so that were willing to normalize relations with Israel. Both hate Democrats. Biden is on the path to mess it up.

Please don't compare Bangladesh to India on air travel. It's not even close. The only airlines that are interested in Bangladesh are the Middle Eastern airlines, mostly for low-yield traffic, mostly workers transiting to the Gulf. More airlines fly to India for more high-yield traffic. I guess...

Trudeau is a laughingstock in the comity of nations. Nobody takes him seriously.

You are talking nonsense. If foreign airlines are inefficient then local airlines would be thriving. But this is not the case. Why are local airlines doing so poorly compared to foreign airlines? You need to ask the passengers who chose foreign airlines over local airlines. All you are doing...

Then who will convert them? What will foreign companies do with a currency that is good only in one country? And why does Bangladesh make it so difficult for companies to repatriate their profits? And people wonder why British Airways left Bangladesh and no Western airline has returned since.

It depends on your definition of neutralized. If you mean militarily, then no. Then again there is no need to neutralize Iran militarily when it's a pariah in the world community, both sanctioned and isolated.

Do you think the US is done? US citizens have been killed and held hostage. Re-freezing $6 billion is just the start.

He's not my guy. I'm not voting for him just because he's Indian. Jews are about 2.2% of the US population, but they overwhelmingly influence US politics, especially fundraising. Indians are no less affluent and can exercise their influence as well.

Interesting, given how many brown people worked in the Trump Administration. So, there's that.

The CHIPS Act is a piece of corrupt legislation that gives welfare to multibillion-dollar semiconductor companies to build foundries in the US. It's crony capitalism at it's finest.

Aafia Siddiqui is not as innocent as she proclaims nor is she dangerous as her enemies make her out to be. The best I can say about her is that she's an enigma. Her story is so sordid and strange, it's hard to take is seriously. She is a neuroscientist with a Ph.D. Somehow she got radicalized...

Is she delusional or did she forget all the arbitrary arrests, the kangaroo trials, and the executions? Ask BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, Hasina's victims, feel about her "unwavering commitment to democracy." What a joke.

Don't be fooled. China had a hand in Imran's ousting. Sure, people like to blame the Americans but don't discount Chinese involvement. They have more influence over Pakistan than the US. And, of course, China would back the military, which is the strongest and most influential institution in...

Why is BIman buying new aircraft when there is plenty of used aircraft available at lower prices? Biman can buy used 777-200LRs, convert them to freighters, and easily integrate the aircraft into its flight operations. It already flies the 777-300ERs, so finding pilots should not be a problem.

Because China does spy and steal. Hell, some members here have even bragged about it.

When the US sent weapons to its proxies during the Cold War, the assault weapon of choice was Chinese-built AK-47s.

Exactly. The Tejas is an unproven quantity at this point. Years in development and only recently being accepted by the IAF. It's going to take hours of operations before buyers are confident to spend millions on it. Just look at how Pakistan has managed to export the JF-17 after successfully...
