As usual, Chinese members underestimate the capabilities of the US Navy. This is the same US Navy who have spent decades dealing with Soviet submarines, chasing their SSBNs and evading their attack submarines. The US has a fleet of attack submarines that are hunting Chinese submarines wherever...

Well, you opened the door...the rest is just :blah::blah::blah:

Pakistan's health infrastructure is even in worse shape than India and the worse is yet to come. Because India has money and Pakistan...does not. Pakistan can barely find funds for vaccines, relying on donations from China. If there's any country that needs help from the UN, it's Pakistan.

You don't see what the PM of Pakistan doing as interference in the internal affairs of European countries by insisting they pass laws that ban blasphemy, Islamophobia, et al? Pakistan should realize this is a two-way straight: you interfere in their affairs, you allow them to interfere in your...

Help is appreciated, of course, but it would be wiser for the UN to help countries that are in worse shape than India, like Pakistan. The key word here is 'sold.'

Who knows exactly how many people died in Wuhan. The Chinese media is less than forthcoming on actual numbers, but I bet you it's higher than officially stated.

These COVID vaccinations are not a one-time thing. You will have to take it annually like other flu shots. The battle will be on for who can make the best one-shot COVID vaccinations.

No, they will not. If Muslim countries want to ban it, that's one thing, but why force the West to do it? It was not long ago that the OIC was pushing for laws against Islamophobia. A special ambassador was appointed, who made the rounds in Western capitals to drum up support for a resolution...

Qatar should bid for the Olympics. The infrastructure is mostly there. It would be nice to see one in a Middle East -- and Muslim -- country.

How serious are these backchannel talks? Is India only undertaking them as a favor to UAE? Just going through the motions? If by some miracle Congress returns to power, even they would not dare to change 370 and 35A. It's a done deal. Once upon a time, there was a chance to settle Kashmir, be...

China trying to drive a wedge between India and the US. Not for any humanitarian reasons but a pure geopolitical advantage.

I thought India was a superpower? :what: To punish the US, India should withdraw all its citizens on H-1B visas. This will show the Yanks who is boss.

India has been a communal country since independence. Whether the government was under Congress, BJP, or whatever, religion is a critical ingredient in the country's political make-up. If you want to reduce religion in politics, then rewrite the constitution and implement UCC.

The Nazis were never elected to power. They seized it. The last free election before the Nazis seized power was held in 1932. The results of the election are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_1932_German_federal_election The Nazis won a plurality but not a majority of seats in the...

No fan of Modi and Hindutva, but I think we need to be careful calling the Modi government Nazis. First, I think the term is used flippantly. Second, considering what the Nazis did -- establish a dictatorship and create a system to kill certain people (Jews) among other things -- I don't see...

Looks like the parting of ways between Turkey and US over F-35. The only issue that needs to be settled is compensation for Turkey, who needs to get its investment in the program reimbursed.

What world is the OP living in? :crazy: This is just one of many delusions in the post.

Got this post late. If I was the Malaysian air force, and I had to choose between the JF-17 and Tejas, even I would pick the JF-17 if forced to choose. JF-17 is a much more mature platform that has been operating for a while now. On the other hand, Tejas has a way to go to prove itself. If...

Biden should give Imran Khan a telephone call as a courtesy between two leaders. Ignoring the PM of Pakistan is just rude. Not even Trump behaved this way.

Let's be honest here, violence is a key part of protests in South Asia. At almost every protest, people are killed, property destroyed, roads blocked, and people inconvenienced. Practicing democracy does not mean resorting to mob rule. It's a sign of immaturity.
