Posturing is easy. Facts are more challenging.
The US shut down Israel's Lavi fighter program for two very simple reasons:
1. It was an extraordinarily expensive program and the US was expected to pay for it.
2. It relied on key US components and technologies. It literally couldn't taxi out of a hangar without these US inputs. Yet it would have directly competed with US aircraft, inflicting yet further losses on the US economy.
Short version: The US shut down the Lavi because it was basically a US program.
Next time also have the integrity to tell your readers how Israel sold key technologies involved in the cancelled Lavi program, including US technologies, to China.
For further details see Dov Zakheim, Flight of The Lavi (1996). Zakheim was a senior Pentagon official during the Reagan administration tasked with investigating this program and played a key role in shutting it down.
@Fon_Miko regime opp in the West especially pahlavists should begin to plan for security and exile too.Wengi watakulishwa copper and with the current trends in the West,Trump or maybe next Vance can deal them as part of the agreement .
@Fon_Miko . I told you,an former IDF official said here , Iranians biggest advantage is they're a corrupt theocracy but led and filled by the smartest of their society. They're not incompetent people,just too radical.If the sanctions are removed,pray for the GCC .
@Kenyans Fun fact, its was Uganda under Milton Obote that killed the East African Federation plan.
Their big issue was that Kenya, being the biggest, would end up with significant control
Warren Buffet has more than $52 billion in pure cash and about $340 billion in short term treasury bills.
This is almost $400 billion liquidity
Elon Musk doesn’t have that. 😊.
Go and verify. 😊
@arnoblalam@bdquinn Even deeper cut is that the eastern Europeans have ALWAYS been the far-right militants, going back to Irgun days. Now with their Orthodox + Mizrahi allies they've formed a far-right monopoly that will only get stronger, forever.
Benjamin @Netanyahu grew up in Pennsylvania in the 1960s, and that is where he picked up and prefected his flavor of white supremacy; ½ a century later as @IsraeliPM, speaking with his aides about @BarackObama, he regularly referred to the 1st African American @POTUS as "the boy"
Spurs lack bad shotmakers. You need a Poole,MPJ,D.White,J.R Smith,Chalmers,J.Terry,Horry etc who can finish brocken plays esp at the end of clock and break deadlocks in even games like this.Klay should try Spurs,orlando,Detroit.They need him for this,gunning in tight games.
This 2015 bombing in Thailand followed Bangkok ignoring US demands to allow Chinese terror suspects from Xinjiang to travel on to Turkey where they would almost certainly join the US-armed/directed proxy war on Syria.
Instead the suspects were sent back to China from Thailand to face justice.
Months later, a bomb went off in Bangkok killing 20 tourists/locals at a shrine in the middle of downtown.
This isn't the first time US-sponsored terrorism struck Bangkok - US-backed mobs burned parts of the capital city to the ground in 2010 along with militants with war weapons fighting Thai troops in the city streets.
Just to give people a clearer picture of how the US does business EVERYWHERE regardless of who is in the White House/Congress...
1 thing I've learnt this playoffs;teams are going to abandon the middy even more & one way pure shooters e.g Kennard,Hero,Dun Robinson will be back on a premium.Middy Stars Shai,Cade,Joker,Murray,Paolo play now often depends on how good they shoot the 3,esp jokic,not the middy
Mandarin being a problem is the entire point.
China doesn't want the world to be Chinese.
the rest of the world are barbarians in the Chinese imagination.
China is not the West, it doesn't want random Iranians and Indians and Africans to start idolizing it or fashioning themselves as proto-Chinese.
To be frank, You're an Iranian who lives in New York but constantly bashes it, and doesn't leave. China doesn't want random Persians doing that in Shanghai.
Long Live China as it is now.
This series begun in game 1,the away team won.These are 2 fairly even teams,fans should not expect an easy series.Matchup advantages will oftenly swing both sides.Brunson being taken out will matter as the series goes on .
Kitambo kidogo in my sheep era I thought Vision 2030 was about development.
Then I noticed every project that got finished tracks you, identifies you, or bills you.
