Genius conqueror or savage barbarian Why cant he be both?

Western sanctions are a DIRECT result of Putin unilaterally annexing the Crimea after having invaded it, and subsequently funding and supporting a rebel movement in another country. Let's not be stupid. Putin has done this to himself. No invasion = no sanctions. Very simple stuff.

When the British first began colonizing India, there were very few Indians involved. Pretty logical, isn't it? Or were Indians stupid enough to colonize their own country for the sake of a foreign power from the get-go? That is even more sad.

We were referring to World War One. My only reference to World War 2 was India's paltry production abilities. Your Indian friend was referring to how India provided most of the resources for World War One, and in response I referred to how India was barely able to produce a couple dozen of the...

Yea whatever floats your boat. The East India Company was British, and the mercenary soldiers that were Indian comprised a negligible number of the total men at arms. You would have us believe that Indians conquered India in the 19th Century. Only someone extremely ashamed of their own history...

Far from being a great power, the fact that India worries this much over such a remote area just goes to show how much stock Indian politicians and India-leaning observers place in the most trivial of irritations. I suppose it's somewhat legitimizing to have China be the one to "aggressively"...

Why is that surprising? That small island conquered all of your 'country' with a couple thousand men, when your GDP was 5 or 10x the size of that tiny irrelevant island. That small island with no manpower or money conquered 20% of the land area of the world, a larger empire than any in the...

96,000 tons of gold = $3.205 trillion today. I call BULLSHIT on this one What cannon fodder? India barely had a role in WW1 compared to the European powers. And what money? India was nowhere near a financial power, and it's industrial capacity is signified by it's paltry production...

The GDP difference between the US and China (in 2013) is 1.77 times (the US economy was 77% larger in 2013). The GDP difference between China and India (in 2013) is 5.045 times.

Global Firepower is accurate only in so much as you take it for what it is - A NUMBERS GAME Global Firepower is probably the most accurate and up-to-date single source when it comes to listing the numbers of each type of equipment for every nation. But then ranking such nations according to the...

If, like Beidou says, you're mocking.. then that's one thing. But if you're serious, then I suspect you think sub-Saharan Africa is an upcoming superpower? Demographic dividends are only advantageous when they are taken advantage of. The low quality of Indian human capital reveals the...

What is more important to a nations success? Population increase or economic increase? What a strange argument you are promoting.

This post was made on February 2011. How's that manned mission going? America still desperately pleading with the Indians for a hop onto your non-existent rocket?

PLA Ground Forces were able to attack India's Brigade Headquarters without air support. Quite embarrassing for India...

Ok thanks. So the FIRST batch is two, but there may be more that will be ordered after the first batch, no? Or are they expected to just move onto Type 055A right after? To have a 3000 ton increase seems like you'd need to have a different structure or hull built, so it's hard to understand how...

Sadly Soviet-era equipment must eventually be retired, and Russia will not be able to produce any next-gen military equipment anywhere near the numbers it did during the 40's-80's. Even Soviet-era military technologies must continue to have R&D spent to advance, but they are not able to spend...

In your opinion what do you think the tonnage will be for the Type 055A? Also, are there any rumors about the numbers being built? Is it confirmed Type 055 is only experimental and that only 2 built? So many questions but I don't speak Chinese so I can't go on the message boards and find out LOL.

If India starts growing as fast as China did over the last decade, it will be growing faster than it ever has by a large margin (remember that inflation and currency changes need to be factored into GDP estimates as well, and the Renminbi shoots up while the Rupee tends to fall or stagnate a...

Only 2? I was expecting a lot more... I thought this would be China's final type for some time considering how large it is (like maybe 10-30 planned). So there will be a Type 055A right after? Are there any of these or their variants which will be produced in double-digit numbers?
