@JonLemire There is nothing for Elon to agree or disagree. you are being disingenuous.
Satellite based internet in war zone is provided through "StarShield" - a separate entity controlled by US military. Trump admin can choose whenever it wants to turn it on or off over Russia.
@kenmoriyasu@HamzaAzhrSalam The flaw in your premise is that you are treating Pakistan as a rational actor - Pakistan's history proves other wise. Pakistan is driven by ideology to define itself as "not Hindu India" - they will sacrifice economic development and much more at the altar of that ideology.
@ForeignPolicy This is just plain provocation without a goal. Any serious analyst knows that Putin cannot hand over Crimea, let alone the four provinces that Russia annexed. If he tries to do it, it will be end of his presidency - and whomever follows, will likely be a hardliner.
@VishnuNDTV Destroying few runways near the border is not going to stop J-20s with longer range and refueling - add to it that China has 10:1 advantage (and growing) in missiles
This is why no one trust Indian analysts or reporters. You fail basic understanding of how wars are fought.
@DamonZumbroegel Courtyards are fantastic, however, your take on it isn't it.
You seem to completely miss the soul of a courtyard - you should visit some old courtyards in India (hundred plus years old) and connect with them to understand why courtyards were so central in Indian home design.
@HappymonJacob It is not about them partying, it is about who paid for all the meals and who is paying for the parties? Remember, CJP folks are supposed to be unemployed youths.
@VishnuNDTV You are underselling the threat. It is not that there are 11 J-20s, it is that infrastructure exists and hundreds will be rushed to be border if needed.
Indians are asleep at the wheel and spiting the US - the only power that can help withstand Chinese aggression.
@YusufDFI This is classic case of being in power for long. No one wants to bring their real opinions or data to the leader - everything is sanitized or softened to appeal to leaders style and ego.
Extreme version of this is also happening across the northern border.
@RushDoshi Any one that criticizes US hegemony while enjoying US tax payer funded security of global commons: May you enjoy living under Chinese hegemony.
Those of us, who have read and learned history, prefer US "hegemony" over any other - everyday and twice on Sunday.
@YusufDFI This is weird. Siting in an ornate room will not make him relatable to younger generation dealing with joblessness.
Why are Indian governments so inept at optics? He could easily be sitting with a flag or simple wall with Indian symbols in place of an ornate background.
@YusufDFI You are a hoot - your ego is not going to be kind to you in your own old age :-)
The examples you give are all hereditary- those folks did not have to earn those positions, they were born into it.
@YusufDFI Ha, Indians giving away the farm and then trying to walk it back.
There no such thing as taking back in international law - India foolishly accepted Chinese sovereignty over Tibet and Xinjiang without corresponding acceptance of Ladakh or Arunachal as India's in the 60s.
@DerekJGrossman Sounds more like ASEAN wanted to be another Europe - free loading on US taxpayer funded security umbrella.
Do not see ASEAN condemning Iran or sending warships to secure Hormuz.
@clary_co The structure of Pakistani Army is such that COAS has to be the central authority. There can be other generals with fancy sounding titles or stars, but COAS retains authority.
Vice COAS may be civilians trying to dilute COAS position, but army is unlikely to accept it.
@YusufDFI Even with Israeli clout, it is not going to be easy for them to get it passed.
Assuming it passes, US is notorious in its ability to track its tech - If Indians believe they will get access to US cutting edge tech through backdoor, I have a marble building in Agra to sell you.
