What do you think? If D lose hard, Joe will be nudged further to step aside, maybe even resign. He will be 80 years in 2 weeks. I believe the major reason D went for Biden in 2020 is exactly because after Trump, they could've put just anybody into power, and such powerless, easily swayed, and...

So, Foxconnies have finally made their mind for building a cellphone plant in India. Big cuts for engineering consultants familiar with "South Asian specifics..." I will have a few free weeks to setup myself there before we will go to survey the site. Timing is tricky, as we also going to...

Some people thrust forward the line of early ZAB's, and Khan's uncanny similarities. Before turning an overall social conservative, ZAB was very far left, and was calling himself a "Peronist". He was as far left, as one can be in such society as Pakistan of seventies. Another parallel I found...

I find it very strange. Barzani admits to Iran arming him in 200X, well into the timeframe they began doing jobs for the US, and at around 2013-2014, things massively reverse. What's the cause?

So... with current sky high oil prices, why do OPEC countries still keep the tap tight, while they see Qatar benefiting enormously from leaving the OPEC? Now not only Qatar's risky LNG expansion, which some called a failure just a year ago, scoring gold, now their oil exports are back to...

So, what's up for a surprise on 100th anniversary? It will be the first real challenged election under the new constitution. Did Erdo open a can of worms with lowering the cutoff, and allowing for possibility of a lame duck presidency? Current polls suggest that he is far behind (10%) his own...

What do gulf states think over the war in Europe?

News came that King Tamim went to Tehran for a "holiday vacation." I find the news rather suspicious. There is nowhere in Tehran for a rich king to have a vacation. He must've gone there for something else I think.

Libya is losing $60m a day in oil shutdown: Oil minister Oil is the lifeblood of the North African country trying to move past a decade of conflict since the fall of leader Muammar Gaddafi in a 2011 NATO-backed uprising. Since mid-April Libya's two major export terminals and several oil...

So, Are there electronics manufacturers in UAE?

Hello gentlemen, the arc of instability is growing across the world, and now across the South Asia. Through my channels of people doing infra projects in Sri Lanka, I hear of somebody in the govt trying to use the popular opposition to launch a move on Rajapaksa. I cannot trust them, and need...

Do you think Erdogan will be at least re-thinking it one more time in light of recent events? One thing I can tell now is that US been "absent minded" at least. USA's "no nuclear war at all cost" stance led them to failing their treaty obligation, 100% their fault. Ukraine is uniquely one of...

He fought British with an army of 60,000, which took ennormous casualties. He was against Ghandi's policy of appeasing British. He once offered Jinnah a post of a Prime Minister, were he to win. The battle for Burma was one of the most bloody, and big battles of WW2 (Burma offensive was...

How does Bangladesh's land policy work? I do see from Google maps, there are some meek attempts at organised development, but otherwise these are open fields. I realised that Dhaka is a very populous city, but it only now struck me how physically small it is if you don't count adjacent districts.

Getting through Dhaka airport is still a survival experience Motorickshaws still try to trick foreigners into overpriced ride, or the fare really reached 1000BDT, and the country is doomed A walk in Gulshan 1 really unrecognisable Overall, the city is a total chaos, as it been before. A bit...
