  1. So almost 200miles is "near" the border. I guess if Poland moves any troops East of Warsaw it would be a buildup as well.

  2. Taiwan is not independent country at all - it never declared any independence from ROC.

  3. Taliban will not touch him as his belief in God is equal to their own. He is "man of the book". As long as he plays by their rules he is fine.

  4.  @corinnem.239  By same token US never was American then. Taiwan officially calls itself China.

  5. Fins should do what Toronto did with Rob Ford - strip her of most of her powers. Then she can be "comic PM"

  6. Not even that - she was on call and there are allegations of drug use due to discussion of it on one of the videos. Finally its not her first time doing this!

  7. @blueocean There are limits to what Russia and China can do in order not to infringe on their friendship.

  8. Well, US shipped 12BN in USD in cash to Iraq to pay for oil and gas. It was many crates of USD and many cargo planes. 1Bn is about 8 creates. So story makes absolute sense. Presidential plane is small. He certainly had more then few million with him.

  9. Thank you INDIA for pointing the obvious --- there was little or NO opposition. NONE. There are Russian tanks / APCS on Kiev ring road right now. End of Zielinski is near. One has to add that it was US that pushed Ukraine to war to weaken Russia & Ukraine clown president believed the west is out to help his country - they are just a tool ;)

  10.  @ujjawalsrivastava913  They sure are, but only in percentage terms, in real dollars imports are growing faster. Trade imbalance is growing.

  11. Well I think it is clear now Ukraine lost.

  12.  @michanel888  God no, learn your own history. There is only one China. There are two rival governments. ROC is one China. PRC is one China. Same with Korea, one country, two governments. I.e. exactly opposite to what you say. Neither Korea sees other as legitimate and true and both claim all of Korea. When we refer to North Korea we refer to Korean government controlling the north, when South Korea, we refer to government controlling the south. But both governments want all of Korea & claim it. You need to separate common talk with specific, precise political situation.

  13.  @arcticwanderer2000  I am guessing that the aircraft is Boening 727. The aircraft empty weight is 40t, max takeoff is 76 and fuel is just under 30t. Range is max 4000km. 1B weight without pallets is around 11t. So if they taken few pp and less then max fuel maybe they could have fit all the cash. Maybe. US used cargo plane load to move each billion. Mi-17 usually takes just 4t of cargo. Given like 10pp it drops to 3t. So they could have taken just few hundred million USD at most. Range is only 800km so it had to be a plane. Why? Tajikistan confirmed they denied landing of presidential plane - it went to Uzbekistan. There is no way a helicopter would have made the journey. Most likely a helicopter was involved to move $$$. Some of it was stashed on the plane. Then it flown towards Tajikistan which refused and then to Uzbekistan. Now its in Oman. I doubt there is a video of the departure. Maybe some hand held camera. Maybe. Probably not. too busy moving $$$.

  14. She has a right - after she leaves office. If she cannot handle her work quit. She was on call & not only she was clearly heavily drunk there are allegations of illegal drug use. If normal person did this they would be fired on strike two.

  15. Well China is striking a deal with the incoming government - what is so strange? Russia is doing the same. Even US.

  16. So how many days till this city is in Taliban hands? I wonder whatever they last till end of this month.

  17. To many silos - need more mobile systems. Silos are just a static defense. Need more nuclear subs.

  20. Biden is 100% responsible. Trump lost power over 6 months ago. All final orders etc. were carried under Biden. This did not have to end this way.

  21. Notice he puts mask on when around IDP.

  22. Wait, if its a Hummer doesn't it belong to the Taliban? Also when will this provincial capital fall or did it already? News is too slow to report on rapid gains by the Taliban.

  23. Well, obviously news lie.

  24.  @shamanbhattacharyya9285  God, Taiwan is part of ROC, ROC is mainland China + Taiwan. Taiwan is not ROC, its part of, same as your arm is part of you. ROC is rival China - ROC is same territory as PRC. Nowhere does an arm, aka Taiwan stand independent no more then your arm is. Taiwan would need to call its own independence from ROC, only ROC announced its independence back in the 40s I believe.

  25.  @amayoka  Taiwan was returned to "China". We cannot conclude anything - we have actual official government statements and documents - where Taiwan clearly states that it is part of ROC. And ROC claims all of China. The west did not recognize Taiwan, they recognized ROC - as legitimate "China" till 1970s when they switched from ROC to PRC as legitimate "China". Again, Taiwan is NOT ROC, Taiwan is just tiny part of ROC claim. ROC is around 1.3billion people. Taiwan is just an island ROC controls, tiny part of whole claimed area.

  26. We see how it all ends. Its a big gamble and this guy says fortune favors the brave.

  27. Remember India growth rate in 2020 was -8.0 percent. That is MINUS 8%. Thus even Pakistan did better over last two years then India. Will not mention China, which did way better.

  28. Nah, it's standard water issue, like 1000s of others. It's western invention.

  29. @blueocean you do know Russia is one of your greatest allies, don't you? If not for Russia you better learn Mandarin.

  30.  @mclongkock6678  Not really. The issue is not so much water or resources.

  31.  @GwynBleys  Putin himself pointed out errors of Soviet Union.

  32. You never know, if India+Pakistan+Bangladesh made one team, they might have a chance! Well, maybe not.

  33. India 9.5, China 8.5 in 2021. China 2.3 in 2020, India -8.0 in 2020. Overall in last two years China grew much faster then India. Which is strange as India is much, much poorer. India growth last two years is even less then Pakistan (!) Mostly due to not having a disaster in 2020 like India did.

  34. Well, the pause is either as Putin said or / and to simply refuel and resupply troops. There are videos of tanks stuck without fuel.

  35. Sure - she should quit the job then - its not for her. Or strip her of most of her duties.

  36. Given there are 1200 torch bearers its a bit overblown to just signal a single 1 that is uncomfortable for India. I assume the remaining 1199 are OK? Also when will India and Pakistan finally enter world sports - I mean India is sending ONE athlete to winter games. Just 1 man. Same for Pakistan, only one man - same sport as India (coincidence?).

  37. Is it 4 or 5 capitals at time of this writing? Taliban are moving so fast it is hard to keep up with their gains! Billions spend - heck more then a trillion USD. We could have sent a man and a woman to Mars - more then 3x for the money spent. In return it all gets wasted as the Taliban take it all back in matter of... weeks!

  38. They talk about taking drugs on video.... and dope to be more specific.
