    MiddleEast/Africa Gaza-Israel Conflict

    https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68337731 Israel's economy shrinks more than expected on Gaza war 12 hours ago Getty Images Israel's economy shrank by far more than expected in the wake of conflict with Hamas in Gaza, according to official figures. Gross domestic product (GDP) - a key...

    MiddleEast/Africa Gaza-Israel Conflict

    Given this thread is about Gazans, their life will be no different/less miserable and Israel no less supported regardless of its Biden or Trump. So his coming may change outlook on rest of the world (like NATO / Europe / Russia) but will have no bearing on change in policy in Israel. If anything...

    [🇵🇰] PTI News, Updates and Discussion

    Other than the crooks finding and being reminded that their manipulation to put NS failed, will these accusations (even if true) lead to anything?

    MiddleEast/Africa Gaza-Israel Conflict

    I don't think this whole thing will fly in Congress. Democrats would never go with this, and assuming Trump wins and Republicans win both Senate and House this will have to be by a huge margin to go along with this approach.

    MiddleEast/Africa Gaza-Israel Conflict

    This may fly in the US (till the law suits start rolling in), but in the EU this will be never permitted. European standard for digital privacy is much higher. As for social media: certainly if one lives in a country where the Govt is supporting Israel, it is understandable that some won't...

    MiddleEast/Africa Gaza-Israel Conflict

    Saddens me: never have leaders of 2BN Muslims stood by as this devastation occurs. From Turkey to Morocco to the GCC. How is this possible? My friends in a GCC country, when I sent them a picture of a pro-Gaza march, they didn’t even respond. Everybody been suppressed by their leaders. Social...

    MiddleEast/Africa Gaza-Israel Conflict

    Two observations: 1. Indians will continue to supply the world's labor workforce. Not exactly what a competitor to China (at least in eyes of US) should be doing. 2. GCC (mostly UAE, Saudi Arabia) continue to be spineless. They can't help Gazans, but given 9M indians work in GCC countries, you...

    [🇵🇰] Pakistan ‘is bankrupt’ and ‘sinking deeper every year’: Atif Mian

    Doesn’t take an economist to realize that our debt has been rising at 10-12% per year since 1970 and that compounding over time has led the debt to go from $3BN To $130BN. Import controls went away some time in the 90s so we have been addicted to imports and paying for them from borrowings for...

    [🇵🇰] Pakistan ‘is bankrupt’ and ‘sinking deeper every year’: Atif Mian

    Pls highlight high value products to these countries. Hand made rugs, handicraft and fruit don’t count as none of them are high-value enough to offset all the imports that we have been accustomed to

    [🇵🇰-Airforce] J-10CE News and Discussions

    Combat practice against the Rafale’s and they sent the J-10s. Wonder what the Indians are thinking….. Ironically, these J10s are within half a mile of US personnel/equipment at Ul Udeid, probably the closest a Chinese aircraft have been that close. I imagine because of that they didn’t maximize...

    World Israel's War on Gaza

    Israeli propoganda machine changed the news cycle with its fictional assertion of UNRWA workers being Hamas based on confessions of imprisoned Hamas that everybody forgot about the genocise ruling (thank you South Africa)

    [🇵🇰-Airforce] Exercise "Spears of Victory 2024" was held at King Abdul Aziz Airbase, KSA.

    Its glorious for Saudi Arabia to host these. But they don't need this exercise to practice their next bombing campaign over Yemen which is largely in uncontested air space. They are pretty much at peace with Israel and Iran will not fight a symmetric air battle. So other than a few boasts on the...

    World Russia outperforms all western economies in 2023

    With your handle, again corrupting true facts with imagination. The airliners most people fly on this forum and the engines and avionics that power them are all what the europeans build. Much of the treatment for serious illnesses are western developed. Equipment used in hospitals in their...

    [🇹🇷] US approves F-16 fighter jet sale to Turkey, F-35s to Greece after Turkey OKs Sweden's entry to NATO

    This logic makes no sense, but strong man logic rarely does as I am sure the opinions of the Air Force were ignored: 1. Be an industrial partner for F-35 , the next gen offensive platform, where it gets its share for the thousands of orders. 2. Get booted out for the purpose of S-400 defensive...

    [🇵🇰] Pakistan General Elections -- 2024

    5 years, just enough time to steal some more money and extend the Dubai empire. Putting it in UK is too much trouble. Just Dubai serves the purpose of it not being in Pakistan
