Slight problem, that north portion of the country is where Kurds live. They don’t really have good relations with Turkey. Plus they are also looking for an independent nation so not going to work well with Iraq either.

I think the entire point is to avoid Iraq and Syria. I think if conditions were better then a route through Turkey would be more viable, but the Syria or Iraq pit stop makes things too risky.

1.5x playback for the win Thanks for the informative video. Really interesting to see the issues explained in layman terms. I was also recommended Pakistonomy and that channel also has some great videos. Genuinely wonder why the Pakistan government doesn’t rely on some of the economists these...

I drove from bay area and through Utah, colorado and then across to Atlanta. The network throughout the drive was great. It was a little weird that some of the chargers were at holiday inn and such, but overall long distance driving wasn’t bad. One thing I would note is charging network around...

Have to commend Tesla on their charging network. I drove my car across the country and the network was always available and never down due to work or power issues. I was thinking that I might run out of charge but the car actually plans the route out really well.

Not as much of a race issue rather an accountability issue. There some cops that know that no matter what they do, they will go free because city will have to pay off and settle the case. There is little to no consequence when these sort of things happen. Most of the time the city just ends up...

Is there a reason we don’t just go with C-130 for AN-32? We already operate them

Interesting to see how SA and other Middle Eastern nations shift to post oil world. A lot of investments are going to shifting industry to more tourist and business based. One thing to note is agriculture. Most of these nations don’t have a large amount of agricultural land so tapping that...

Warning to Washington… ROFL

The point isn’t to succeed. The point is to do a mini reset once in a while. By breaking the flow of successive democratic governments, they weaken the chance of proper democracy ever taking shape. Democracy itself isn’t perfect and takes a long time to come to fruition. With constant trials...

Well that explains the youth unemployment rate…

I would attribute it to lack of stability. For such long term growth projects, you need stable government and stable economy. I don’t believe it has anything to do with lack of man power or knowledge. Knowledge and know how can be developed. A stable economy to continuously fund growth in...

True, but they have also been pretty isolated for decades. Most Muslim nations were in US bloc which really didn’t leave room for Iran to work with any. The only nations that worked with them were either adversaries of US or ones that didn’t want to take sides. I do believe that being...

Isn’t that counterproductive. If you don’t engage with them, you would never be able to counter the partnership. Having good relationships or even a decent relationship would help bring issues on table for diplomatic solution.

I guess whatever makes people happy to get their mind off of their situation.

I can understand if the government is weak and corrupt. Having witnessed past governments that disagreed with military, they are just adjusting for survival and benefit. Bigger question should be: even if let’s say a new and better government is formed, what is to say that military leaders...

I don’t know if IMF’s move is good or bad. Bringing in Imran Khan might help stabilize the economy if he agrees, but if doesn’t, it might result in opening a can of worms. I can understand IMF approach since they are giving the loan, but he also paints the current government in a very weak...

Ah yes because the US navy is going to be sitting at one spot, turn all their defense systems off and just wait to get hit.

Pretty good improvement. One thing to note, India should also focus on maintaining the infrastructure and also creating proper road side facilities.

Damn this production rate is insane. Got to give to LM and partner nations.
