Very brave. I don’t think he’ll ever leave jail. Pakistan is run by very insecure & delusional men in uniform. They think of themselves as ultimate guardians of whatever they define as national interest & security. Only diff b/w Nawaz-Zardari & any army chief is term limit.

Shows you its always best to adopt a middle path. US dragged Turkey’s F-16 deal for no reason other than they could do it.

That will be the second operational carrier borne AEW and third developed after Soviet Yak-44 which was quite a beast.

Prayers for Moscow and civilians who have suffered this heinous terrorist attack. There is no justification for this.
Putin is now pressed into a corner. There will be severe repercussions.

Wishing her all the best, i lost a family member to cancer. Its a horrible disease.

It always starts with dark grainy shots in the age of 8K footage and high megapixel shooting cameras.
