Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023

^^Yes. I see how one would name one’s daughter ‘a group of camels’. The reasoning could be that it is possibly derived from 'bountiful' / 'wealthy' / 'precious'... the ancient arabic traders who did business with Hindustan got wealthy and could afford to keep large herds of camels. Why is that a mo...

Re: Understanding the US - Again

^^^ Exactly what I said a couple of weeks ago regarding the millions Biden is letting into the US. A few 100ks of young and able bodied will be express trained and made cannon fodder in Ukr with the promise of citizenship/GCs to kin, since there are no colonies left to supply the west's war lust.

Re: Military Flight Safety

Yes, the immediate spread of videos on SM prevented useless heehaw.

The pilot ejected and survived, seemed lucid and visibly ok when the local janta came to his aid. The plane was seen flying level with landing gear down.

No chance for anyone to insinuate.

Yes. It was ready for several years. The test and announcement are all about timing based on several geopolitical factors. Asat was prioritised at one point in time, and our team delivered it in record time since mirv was all ready.
