what's a cope cage? To mitigate drone dropped munitions. Its like a wedding shamiana :D erected on top of the tank except its a metal mesh instead of the colourful tarps used in the wedding shamiana. Russia gets theirs factory fitted (and the West derisively called them cope cages). When Israel fab...

Ok back to the case. We are preparing for world war without even knowing the basic information. Why were 8 ex-naval personnel working in Qatar? Were they spying for another country? Which one?

We should think that having access to the Indian labor pool is a privilege, not a right! And we should begin to use this as leverage. With the internationally connected nature of work, if the labor does not 'go there', the economic activity shall 'move here'. Get out of the 80s mindset of remittanc...

sudeepj, that would be enough fantasy about taking on a country hosting CENTCOM foreward HQ using Indian Navy etc. Please post analysis that makes sense. Nair ji, I am glad you called out these unrealistic options. Some points we need to understand: 1. We need Qatar's gas more than Qatar needs us. ...

I think Modi should strongly condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization and compare Hamas to LeT as terrorist organizations and put Rahul Gandhi on the spot for even thinking of Hamas as a freedom fighter organization. I think our stand is sensible and well balanced. We have said terrorism is terror...

2 aircraft carriers in the region. Russia sees threat to them from those carriers. So, they are nervous. This whole thing has set off a chain of actions and reactions.

Israel has Iron Dome which is purely a defensive system. Do Israel don't have anything to calculate the trajectory of incoming rockets and then fire back to flatten that area.

Deans, This is fundamentally a flawed example. The Indian forces are deployed on Indian territory and is trying to pacify an Indian population.

I have a video on WA, that I am unable to post here. In it an Israeli speaker, in excellent English, states that only a military power could have done what occurred.

Hamas attacked on the 50th Anniversary of the Yom Kippur war. It is deeply symbolic to Arabs - the first 2 days of the war was the only time the Arab armies displayed competence and had Israel spooked. Though this year, Yom Kippur was on 24-25th of Sept, the attack day was also a holiday, followed b...

Politics is in play, as Trudeau is in trouble because his popularity has decreased dramatically, so he is inducing the diaspora masses as political leverage to vote for him, including the Sikhs.

A lot of reports about Ukraine being able “to breach first line of Russian defences in the south” and the Brits parroting the line that Russia can only do static and passive defences… If after 2 months of counter offensive this is what they have to show for it then I don’t think Russia is doing too...

Drone swarm attack at Russia's Pskov airbase 40km from the Estonia border.
4 * IL-76 aircraft destroyed or damaged (big fires seen).

No way the drones had the range to fly from Ukraine. If they came from Estonia it is a dangerous escalation by NATO.

You misunderstood my point. Treason / mutiny during war time is automatically a capital offence. Conduct a summary trial, find him guilty and execute the bugger.
