Yes, though I would still admit at times the military is benefiting from the security situatiin and that many Papuans do not get fair treatment. Despite that though West Papua development indicators is flat out better than Papua New Guinea. Note how we recieve much less "foreign aid" in...

Sorry, what is LCC?

Should hv been done ages ago. Rate of poverty elimination in china is frankly jaw dropping. Its criminal how little academic interest is given to it. April this year I was reading an entire book focused on how gov programs can lift people out of poverty (Good Economics for Hard Times). Its...

While I agree that redtape, lack of labour productivity, and infrastructure woes* . I would just like to point out that favtory bombings hv never happened, and that extortion is not done by ISIS either. Pro-ISIS sentiment has actually been falling, as you can see from lack of follow up to the...

Speculation: Military Mindset: BNPB has always been headed by military trained people. The reason is due to how much disaster response has traditionally been done by the military. Their standards of personnel safety might subconsciously still be at military level and bleeds into their...

Thats true. I do think that these PPNS do fit that job description. There is only 30 of them on the payroll. My understanding is that they already do some of their riskier assignments with TNI/Polri escort, but being trained in firearms will allow them better independence and might save the time...

Sorry, doublepost. Its really late in the night over here. Just wanted to ask a general question. All in all, is Indonesia's defense budget worth that much sacrifice to enter our market? I thought our defense spending has always been really low. And do you think that they still have capital...

Do they get training by kopassus tho? I genuinely lol'ed when I read that part

At least Ifan is trying to build institutional capacity. Instead of asking for TNI/Polri escort for the inspector, they want to train up the inspector to be able to act independently. Really ambitious sure, but better than the usual begging for TNI assistance. Is that Checzh factory going to...

Well then, since I'm rather slow why don't you explain once again what your point was? Millennials Suck! Was all I saw, with little establishing arguments or actual proof. Insulting for the sake of insulting. Accusations without proof or foundation is not criticism. It is nothing more than...

On what occasion were these photos taken? Border patrol?

Please chill. As a Millennial myself I find your assertions insulting. Almost all of the things you accuse us of is not something most millennials are like, nor are they characteristics we have sole monopoly over. Spoiled rich kids have always been a thing, and lack of critical thinking is a...

Note: Edit done, mongabay did not like me posting their article here :p: https://news.mongabay.com/2020/09/indonesias-new-intelligence-hub-wields-data-in-the-war-on-illegal-fishing/ Found this while browsing mongabay. Glad I still read it from time to time even if i dont agree with most of...

So... these are missle drones? Like piloted rockets I take it?

To add in on this religion in uni debate. Personally, I agree with @Indos. Religion & philosophy (especially pancasila philosophy) should still be taught in uni, including as an academic subject. While I understand it is easy to dismiss religious study as merely dogma and rote memorization, in...

Yeah, this is one of the things NM was trying to tackle with his Kampus Merdeka education reform. Not enough uni linked internships in Indo.

Exactly... Maybe because the lockdown was so harsh not even logistics could still function? If so, thats just heartless. Read from the New York Times that thousands of Indian farmers are committing suicide, especially in Punjab. While they has been growth in the agriculture sector, a lot of...

Wonder what's wrong with India? You'd think that due to their longer and harsher lockdown they'll have an even more booming growth in e-commerce than us.

Haha, thats a lot of likes. Popular sentiment it seems. No worries. I barely have any time to muddle through other formils, I use this Indodefense formil keep up to date with all the defence and military news and its been a great help. While there are a few trolls here and there, my ignore list...

...As a person who only follows this forum militer (This was my introduction to Formil and I am satisfied enough to not bother getting into a new one)... How the hell did the rumour that you are a nurse in RSHS even start?! You are among the posters here I follow the most and I hv never seen...
