    China tops global box office in 2021, taking the lead in global film industry recovery amid pandemic

    Streaming is what counts in the US, not the number of screens. Literally comparing apples to oranges here.

    Pakistan Air Force Transport

    The US seriously needs to reconsider what it can or cannot sell to Pakistan. If India can purchase weapons from Russia, which is a Chinese ally, then I don't see any problems in selling Pakistan brand new (or even used) C-130s.

    Workmanship on HAL Tejas Still Poor

    Just look how long it took to develop the Tejas. It also shows how bad India's defense PSUs are performing. Pakistan not only incorporated the JF-17s but are exporting the aircraft while the Tejas still flounder.

    Featured Putin: Insulting Prophet Muhammad is not freedom of expression

    Yes, you are correct on that score but I was making a different point: in that Erdogan wants to radically transform Turkey like Ataturk before him.

    Featured Putin: Insulting Prophet Muhammad is not freedom of expression

    Putin has killed how many Muslims in Chechnya? How many more in Syria? How can anyone take a dictator like Putin seriously? I guess the same people who think Erdogan is the second-coming of Ataturk. :rofl:

    Border Clash Between Afghanistan & Pakistan: Afghanistan Protecting TTP

    The Taliban are Afghans and Afghans will always be Afghans. They see the Durand Line as an artificial border and will continue to ignore it. They see KPK and FATA as their backyard.

    Bangladesh FM slams US for sheltering Bangabandhu’s killer

    While in the US, he asked a Democratic Congresswoman to legalize illegal Bangladeshis. A country's foreign minister must be the most competent and most discreet minister in the government. You are the face of your country to the world. What you say and do is always in scope.

    The US Navy now has 69 active Burke destroyers, 4 more launched, 5 under construction, and 12 approved for construction

    Please don't lump the Soviets with the US. The Soviet Union's philosophy in fighting wars is to use overwhelming manpower and firepower. The Soviets had no problem sending a battalion to clear a minefield. In addition, the allies had a qualitative edge in weapons late in the war compared to...

    The US Navy now has 69 active Burke destroyers, 4 more launched, 5 under construction, and 12 approved for construction

    Quality always trumps quantity. No, for the US to match one-to-one with China regarding a number of ships. As for Russia's navy, it seems it has ceded that capability to the Chinese, and adopted to burnish its army and air force. The Chinese navy is unproven in warfare compared to the US...

    US should give up the idea of cold war 2.0 with China. Because there will never be a good end for it

    The only thing I see here is that the Cold War will be different. The Soviet Union never surrendered, it simply collapsed. It was never militarily defeated.

    The future of US-Pakistan relations Ft. Mr. Cameron Munter

    Pakistan needs to up its economic game if wants better terms with China or the US. It should be Pakistan who should be exploiting Afghanistan’s mineral wealth and not the Chinese.

    An insider view of U.S. on Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, India ft. Robin Raphel

    I remember the incident well. Raphel was working as a consultant for the US Department of State. She was passing classified information to Pakistan. Accusations were made, investigations conducted, but in the end, all she got was a slap on the wrist: her consultant contract terminated and all...

    An insider view of U.S. on Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, India ft. Robin Raphel

    She's a Cold War relic. Pro-Pakistani US officials are a rare right these days.

    US to release CSF?

    Let's be clear Pakistan is not the only country that is eligible for CSF. Though Pakistan was the biggest recipient of CSF in the past, other countries like Jordan and other countries on the frontlines of WoT also received CSF. The US can designate the US of CSF as they wish. I doubt in the...

    Overseas Pakistanis send home $2.4 billion in November

    I know the feeling. I use to travel to India with suitcases full of lotions, creams, knickknacks, and candy. There's an expectation (and entitlement) of getting something from those living and working overseas. They think we are rich, not realizing that we are working our backs off just to pay...

    U.S. censors Taiwan at Summit for Democracies

    Is the US really going to risk war with China over Taiwan? I don't think the life of one soldier is worth defending Taiwan.

    Overseas Pakistanis send home $2.4 billion in November

    When I use to have an Indian passport and a US Green Card, my trips back to India were guaranteed to be hell. Immigration and customs officials make it their duty to harass and make miserable Indian citizens who work and live overseas just because they can. Can't imagine how much in bribes I had...

    China eyes military base on Africa's Atlantic coast: report

    People are forgetting Russia. As an ally of China, it can provide assistance, especially in Cuba and Venezuela, where it already has bases.

    Where did China's Muslims disappear?

    People need to be reminded that China is controlled by communists, who are not only atheists but hostile to religions of all stripes.
