Doesn’t really make sense for either of them though. IWT was regularly abused in the opposite way where India would allow flood water to go full downstream since the treaty only really makes provisions for droughts.
If they build a dam, all that water would rapidly collect on each country’s side which even with a planned lake location, probably won’t be enough to absorb it all.
Can I have my 3rd party now, especially since the DNC is already running as a third party in NYC after they forgot to rig their own primary again.
They shot at the Israeli captives who were waving a white flag after they escaped Hamas two years ago.
DNC normally: “3rd parties don’t function in our two party system, there’s no point in voting for them”
DNC after losing their own primary: 3rd party it is
A military enforced trade blockade is too much for some people to handle who think battling a state responsible for genocide can be done without violence… which is exactly what a military specializes in.
Of course now that the US has gone home, no one is there to intercept all the antiship missiles, so any vessel aiming for Israel should really take the alternative route.
Mwuahahaha I got so many of these
Edit:
They say the campaign included viral posts on social media, manipulated imagery showing supposed Rafale debris, AI-generated content and video-game depictions to simulate supposed combat. More than 1,000 social media accounts newly created as the India-Pakistan clashes erupted also spread a narrative of Chinese technological superiority, according to French researchers who specialize in online disinformation.
French military officials say they haven’t been able to link the online Rafale-bashing directly to the Chinese government.
This is just internet sledging from actual users lmao
The “pilot error” in question
Also not a Rafale, but you get the idea of IAF’s reputation:
Yes 4 jets were confirmed shot down with 1 proven to be a Rafale, 1 Mirage, 1 Su-30MKI, and a MiG-29. US confirmed 2 French origin jets were shot down but didn’t specify which ones, Pakistan still claims they shot down 3 Rafales total on top of the other 3.
There’s several good sources of the entire air battle and the key aspect being the BVR kill chain, meaning the Rafale isn’t necessarily a bad jet.
But Dassault suffered an immediate loss in stock value and potential sale clout right after the battle ended and both sides had their debrief.
As much as I’m going to make fun of the other reply in this thread for trying to cover up getting slammed by a PL-15 as “pilot error”, this really has more to do with the modern methodology of air combat which the IAF was not prepared for due to their lack of a dynamic integrated electronic platform.
Their Rafale purchase was already a knee jerk response to their loss in 2019 when a MiG-21 pilot was shot down by the PAF and captured.
France sold them a guarantee of quality, but they didn’t buy a full package with AWACS, EW, etc because it was already extremely expensive with each jet and armaments coming in at 300 million USD.
Now that Russia is no longer selling big weapons due to their war in Ukraine, India is really stuck in a tight spot because foreign tech will always be very expensive, and their homegrown projects under HAL have never really taken off or been battle proven (ex: their Tejas jet).
Pakistan’s ISI:
Does jellyfin do untranscoded video/audio?
Haven’t used it in years but finally building up my media server again and I remember it had some funky settings for hardware encoding back then which I didn’t need because I was connecting to it via a repurposed gaming laptop that could easily handle 4k content and surround sound by itself.
Right there’s actually like a select few applications that support it which is cool, but so many get confused when they see an apng file with frames.
Actually Pakistan sold the centrifuge technology to Iran and NK, but the US has ensured they are no longer friendly to allow further assistance.
Iran just needs to hunker down and make it quickly like NK did if they want it.
I’m waiting to see if Trump/pentagon escalates or does their strike package and goes home.
I doubt this is going to lead to some sort of ground invasion. Biden would have done the exact same although maybe more clandestine.
Not to mention Germany ran an entire North Africa campaign.
I actually think they’re trying to leverage it to gain back what was originally in place instead of caving in like everyone else.
Like right now Macron is talking big about announcing recognition of Palestine in September. He’s giving the US 2 months to bring a better deal or risk losing unilateral NATO support over American foreign policy in Israel.
I mean its good that they’re actually deciding these things for themselves, but if Trump hadn’t blown up the global market with delusional tariff wars and hanging “allies” to dry, France probably wouldn’t have blinked an eye for anything the US demanded so long as they get paid.
