Bi-directional border clashes against Taliban and a tit-for-tat air strike with Iranians 3 months ago, and you think these countries can band together?

Putting aside the 'why' fly the President in a helicopter over a mountain range in bad weather, this was a flight of 3 helicopters together. This one for some reason left the other two. Mechanical failure or what, Iran is not being clear. But how is it that the two others don't crash but the one...

I think we can close this chapter as Argentinians have gone for old Danish F-16s. Last upgrades on these are probably 20 years ago and while Argentinians got a good deal at $300M, I imagine another $700M needed to get them current given their end of life. Too bad for the JF17. I am sure beyond...

Turkish chapter with Israel is over for now. Israel will find alternate sources but its always a bit painful when a closer neighbor cuts ties with you as any alternate sourcing leaves it more dependent on US or other distant partners. And things will cost more. While Turkey took 6 months to...

Okay thanks for reply . pkdefense.com: i have an account there but have no idea how I ended up there this Feb. Coincidentally around the time this website shut down. I will leave my critique about that forum. If this URL is back on line, what is the reason to go to defensepk.com? I thought we...

I have a basic question to ask. And I ask for your patience as I ask this question (bordering on forgiveness if I have gone the deep end). It may be a senior moment as I was out of it for a little while: wasn't this site originally closed and re-launched with a different URL? And the original...

What is considered the new pdf? I am thoroughly confused. I thought old pdf went to pkdefense, and i was getting these alerts thinking they are from pkdefense to realize that defense.pk is different. Did two different pak defense's get spawned? Btw, neither is 1/4th as active or providing as...

Its enough that your country violent racist policies finally culminated in messing up Europe’s defence agains Russia, but much like your fellow country men encroaching Over West Bank, you have a sense of entitlement to come here and distract a Ukraine thread. You want to find your lover and find...

This will en with Hamas dead, but fortunately by taking 10,000 more Israelis with them. Thats what their plan is

For GCC arabs, unless ‘we muslims’ went with franchises of fast unhealthy food that made already obese people fatter and unhealthier (GCC countries have the highest proportion of childhood obesity and diabetes), or produced cars that they like to oggle at, the we Muslims will be a remote concept

Flying lessons and partying. No Partying in their own countries. Unless you are MBS and up to two levels below and live in a palace

Even India/Pakistan , mortal enemies have trade with each other. So having trade with your neighbor is not a sign of economic co-dependence. It’s like living with a person next to you and being proud of the fact that you can say ‘hello‘ to it. Vietnam has chosen its side and is part of US...

The shameless Arab and Muslim collective knows no bottom. Even the South American countries have confronted Israel with harsh statements whereas pretty much all arabs and OIC are shuttling around conferences like paid women. There are segments shameless: 1. The poor countries whose top leaders...

News flash: Vietnam is in the US economic orbit and has been for the last 20 years, following the path of Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. Its a co-existence that 40 years later you could say did work out in the US favor. Vietnam is neither in China’s economic or political orbit.

You took the trouble to write all that but lack common sense: Palestinian state is a concept. So what if it never existed. It’s a logical representation of having these places where they lived through all the above stages of history. Call it as part of next Ottoman Empire or call it part of...
