Re: Afghanistan News & Discussion - April 2016

Shouldn't we be selling weapons to Afghan army? Why dont we setup the same kind of presence as Russia has in Syria - military advisors and air dominance assets that ensure Ghanis continuation in Afg?

Re: Afghanistan News & Discussion - April 2016

Options in front of Ashraf Ghani The intention of this exercise is to brainstorm what options Ghani might have now that the Taliban will be at his throat very soon and since he has been abandoned (for reasons right or wrong) by the US to the tender mercies of the Taliban. With most commentors compar...

Re: Internal Security Watch

Another data point to support BRFs (well estabilished) hypothesis that NDTV is part of the fifth column. CKjkYNEV8jw At this point I am reasonably confident that I can dig out N=30 such incidents to statistically prove that NDTV carried an anti-India / pro-pak hit job and recieved overt/covert ackno...

Re: Geopolitics/Geoeconomics Thread - June 2015

Agree with most of the perspectives you shared sir. The next question then becomes how will Bharat be steered in the times to come? Or to rephrase, how do we go about the grand orchestration required to create an Indic superstate by expanding influence towards the North, East and West? Towards the E...

Trump has drawn a line in the sand - Iran cant proceed with its nuclear program or killings of any US citizens else strong mil danda will ...
