Iran News and Discussions

Lt. Gen P R Shankar is not. BS I mean. Let us have some respect for those who gave their all to protect us and our family.

yeh mere watan ke logon zara aankh mein bharlo paani… shaheed…

Yes, Lt. Gen PR Shankar is prof in IIT-M and created the artillery shell which has ram jet tech. Also Sree Iyer is relaying news which has been verified. Sree has written books on financial wrong doing "who painted my money white" or some such title. I find them both credible. For those that don't believe don't watch - simple.

I said PGurus is a BS/unreliable, I didn't say Gen Shankar is BS. I'm sure you'd find Sree Iyer's books "credible" - birds do flock together.

Gen Shankar surely must have done great things when in service, which is why he acquired a flag rank. In this video, Iyer is trying to use the retd General for a show of credibility.

And whoever is posting stuff like "yeh mere watan ke logon zara aankh mein bharlo paani… shaheed…"....basic lack of social skills, it appears. Even the Chinese "fifty cent" guys who used to infest BRF back in the day were more polished fakers than these uncle toms. Gen Shankar is not a "shaheed", he is luckily alive and well.

Wow. What a display of great social skills. This one wants every Indian-American to line up behind them to fight Hindumisia.

Their leadership/blog (if any)/YT channel (if any) is not doing well. Hence, talking down to successful people like Sri Iyer.

I listen to General Shankar and in general, the three good Generals wherever they are, including on PGurus.

However, after listening to a particular inane piece from Sri Iyer, my comment was that Sri Iyer is like a court jester in the Darbar of the Three Generals.

General Shankar and the other generals are good in that they are rational, they argue with facts and evidence, and when they are talking military/defense matters, I trust them.

Where I feel they sometimes go wrong is e.g., they overreach, e.g., into economics in which they have no more claim to expertise than I have. Or sometimes into the murkier areas of international relations/diplomacy, which as I learn more, I find to be subtle and not easy to interpret.

One of their guests did suggest that they should bring in experts in economics and experts in the cultures of the countries they are talking about, and career diplomats so that the level of discourse becomes more informed.

Still, on YouTube, the Generals provide among the best material on these topics available from India, in my opinion.

Yes, that's a balanced view that I also share. I listen quite a bit to the retired jarnails/karnails/majors both desi and american. They do have sharp insights on the military and strategic aspects. In the Iran war case, I would lean more on the americans since they have contacts that are directly involved in american wars. They all do over-reach in some things. As for Sree Iyer I don't see much value, I think he has become more of an uncle tom now. I used to watch Rajagopalan's appearances on Iyer's channel, again because he is well respected and connected to insiders in New Delhi. Now Rajagopalan is in other channels with better anchors.

From a 48-hour survival story to blowing up its own aircraft, here’s how the US military executed one of its most complex rescue operations.
