Local residents have recorded multiple new Iranian strikes on the American military base at Ali Al Salem in Kuwait. It's worth noting that property has already been removed from some US military bases.

 

Donald Trump claims Iran is "desperate" to end the war after more than two weeks of fighting. Iran's regime has rejected the claim, saying the war will continue as long as necessary. On the battleground, Iran fired more missiles and drones at Dubai, triggering fires near the airport.
 
Neither of the examples I gave were life or death choices. I thought I clearly wrote in such cases the parents of the child intervened. Nor is the You Tube lecture series of that eminent historian a life or death matter which is the reason I urge you to peruse the entire series. Who knows this may just result in an epiphany ! You could thank me later. Or you could thank the professor. Or you could thank both of us.


There's a movie called the 36th Chamber of Shaolin . It's the usual Shaw Bros formulaic film from Hong Kong the equivalent of our masala entertainment.

Long story short - the protagonist loses his parents to a fight with an evil landlord in mediaeval China. He swears revenge & goes to Shaolin to learn what else but Kung Fu .

The chief priest after his ordination as a monk asks him which chamber would he like to begin his training from with the 35th chamber being the last chamber .

Obviously the protagonist opts for the 35th chamber only to see wizened old monks chanting Buddhist mantras & beating the drum in rhythm.

His constant exhortations to them asking the latter to accept him as their disciple irritates one who just waves his hand dismissively in the air causing the protagonist to be thrown out of the room.

All shaken up by the experience when the chief priest who's witnessed the entire event asks him once again where would he like to start , murmurs almost inaudibly - from the very bottom.

I urge you to see that movie. You'd learn a lot . Perhaps then you'd stop making silly requests & asking questions like if the distance between Delhi to Mumbai is 1500 kms & the distance from Mumbai to Delhi is 1500 kms how come it's 364 days from 1st January to 31st Dec but only 1 day from 31st December to 1st January ?

See that's where experience & maturity comes in which you one acquires over the years where one turns old in the process .
I read your wall of text twice and still can't find the part where you actually back up calling the guy a 'Han con man' with CCP/MSS ties. Instead you hit me with a recap of 36th chamber of shaolin, some boomer flex about being 'in uniform' while I was 'in liquid form' (weird flex, grandpa), and a TED Talk on why Gen Z has short attention spans because they swipe on apps. Congrats, you've invented the world's longest way to say 'I got nothing'.
The journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step . You orgasm with the 1000th thrust . Does that mean you should begin with the 1000th thrust & save yourself all the effort ?

Keep messaging for more such muft gyaan . Makes me feel important even if all this stuff is too intelligent & deeply philosophical for you .
Your analogy game is on fire though, letting kids burn their hands on stoves to learn respect for fire? Solid parenting advice from the guy who keeps failing to point to one timestamp proving his big accusation. Meanwhile, you're the one dodging like the protagonist who wanted the 35th chamber first but got yeeted out. You claim experience and maturity, but all I'm seeing is an old dude gatekeeping with philosophy quotes and sex metaphors ('orgasm with the 1000th thrust', very classy) instead of dropping a single fact.

It's a real pity. You actually seemed intelligent . Or at least you had me convinced at one point you were intelligent. Now , I'm genuinely worried about the future of this country . Hope you didn't graduate during COVID ?
If watching his entire oeuvre is the only way to 'see' he's shady, why not just link the one video where he slips up and reveals the MSS payroll? Or the clip where he lies about history? Or contradicts verifiable facts? You keep saying 'parse it with a fine-tooth comb' like it's deep wisdom, but it's just lazy deflection. I asked for evidence, not a syllabus and a lecture. Its really shouldn't be that hard to grasp, you made a serious acquisition, I asked why do you think so and you proceed to give a long lecture. I'm pretty sure in my capability about doing research of a specific topic and arriving at an informed decision about it but that's not what's happening here is it? Seems like you got confused somewhere, I'm asking why you think so about something you made an acquisition of? Your answer is not gonna magically shift my entire view but offer the perspective of someone who has strong opinions of said subject. Sadly people can only explain this to you, they can't understand it for you. Heck I dont even need timestamps or specific video or any such links, you can simply say why you called him as such and get this over with since you seem to have no problem with gracing strangers online with your wisdom or typing paragraphs worth of recap and analogy.
 
In many ways, Iran is like Afghanistan. The people may want freedom, education, jobs, economic growth, etc. But their collective national identity is of an ethno-religious state. After all, Iran is the world's only Shia majority country, ruled by Shias.
It's become one @ethno religious state . It wasn't always one . Just like any other ancient society which lagged in modernization it's finding its feet just like us .

In between certain societies indulge in experimentations which then yield disastrous results like Afghanistan China Iran obviously etc .
Judging by the protests among that community here in India, the killing of Khamenei Sr will likely lead to the Iranian people rallying around his successor. They have endured years of Western sanctions and hardships already.
Let's not talk about sub con Muslims , they were always on the wrong side of history. Back in the day at the end of WW-1 when the Arabs won their freedom after fighting a war of independence against the Turks after nearly 4 centuries of colonization the Muslims here were fighting to restore the Caliphate which the Turks themselves rejected under the Young Turks movement .

What's more this led to the so called " Moplah rebellion " as it is still known in the great state of Al Geralam where what started as a protest against the British against the scrapping of the Caliphate soon turned into a massacre of Hindus killing anywhere between 10-50,000 the demographic effects of which are still visible in parts of Al Geralam.

These idiots here & the people in Iran have entirely different world views on the regime .
If the clerics survive in power, the Chinese would probably pour money into rebuilding Iran's oil infrastructure (via CPEC expansion and/or picking up stakes in key ports like Chahbahar) in exchange for long term mining rights.
Depends on what you describe survival as. The Chinese have their own economic problems. I doubt they'd accomodate the Iranians.
You can be sure the clerics will weaponize at the first possible opportunity. I'd wager NoKo would help them in getting over any tech hurdles with Russia expediting deliveries of Su-35s, Mi-28s and other hardware contracted by Iran.
Don't think anything of that sort is happening. Basically this regime is on its own .

You mean you'd rather waste time on me instead of perusing the videos of that great historian. Why I'm very flattered by all this attention assuming you're straight of course coz I don't roll the other way !

Had you devoted as much time on those videos instead of insignificant me you'd have completed at least 4-5 such videos. Talk about priorities.
Your analogy game is on fire though, letting kids burn their hands on stoves to learn respect for fire? Solid parenting advice from the guy who keeps failing to point to one timestamp proving his big accusation.
You act as if I owe you something , little one . I must say you've an unusual degree of entitlement . Tell me are you the only son or only child ?

You're actually the protagonist in the 36th chamber of Shaolin. At least he understood life's lessons. OTOH you're still angling in waters where there're no fish .

I can see why you're pissed about that punchline regarding the 1000th thrust. It's absolute gold standard. Feel free to use it when you want to feel superior in a debate. I've forsaken the copyright to it in public interest. I'm a very giving person that way.

As far as gate keeping goes I don't think you understand the term. I'm not preventing you from seeing those videos. It's your own childish ego preventing you from doing so demanding answers like an entitled brat as if the whole world is supposed to be at your service.

I could instruct you in everything there's to know about sex which can be imparted as education. Ditto for enlightenment. But this is a path you ought to trod on my child. For these are exclusive experiences. Not collective ones unlike what you've been conditioned to understand. Nor can such experiences be described or imparted.

See , me pumping your girl will make me the biological father not you . I knew I'd have to explain something so obvious to you coz the most intelligent people are often are lax with details.

You keep saying 'parse it with a fine-tooth comb' like it's deep wisdom, but it's just lazy deflection.
Of course it's deep wisdom for you . I've already dissed him , remember. You're the contrarian out here . Hence it's for you to discover pearls of wisdom to prove me wrong. It's either that or you go with what I say. You could die wondering too . Decide & let me know .
I asked for evidence, not a syllabus and a lecture. Its really shouldn't be that hard to grasp, you made a serious acquisition, I asked why do you think so and you proceed to give a long lecture.

I'm pretty sure in my capability about doing research of a specific topic and arriving at an informed decision about it but that's not what's happening here is it?

Please don't die wondering.

Seems like you got confused somewhere, I'm asking why you think so about something you made an acquisition of? Your answer is not gonna magically shift my entire view but offer the perspective of someone who has strong opinions of said subject.
Remember what did I tell you about old people & dissing someone they don't like. Please go back to that post & re read it like an actor would his lines. It's only thru repetition that one understands. Practise makes perfect.
Sadly people can only explain this to you, they can't understand it for you.
If only you recited these lines in front of a mirror.
Heck I dont even need timestamps or specific video or any such links, you can simply say why you called him as such and get this over with since you seem to have no problem with gracing strangers online with your wisdom or typing paragraphs worth of recap and analogy.
Get this over with ?! Heck I'd have you know I come here for 3 clowns & entertainment. Right now one is AWOL & the other one is undergoing menopause which leaves me entertainment starved. I'm easily entertained too in case you haven't noticed. Not too demanding at all .

I also realise giving people anything valuable free of cost decreases it's value . Nobody appreciates it . That's the reason God's don't offer boons without great sacrifice , Gurus don't offer education without seeing much effort & so on.

Keep requesting me . Maybe one fine day if I'm in the mood to oblige I will. No guarantees though.
 
Why do we import so much Urea?
India imports large amounts of urea primarily to bridge the significant gap between high agricultural demand and limited domestic production capacity, with imports growing due to recent drops in local output. Domestic production is constrained by a lack of sufficient, affordable feedstock (natural gas), making imports necessary and, often, more economical than local manufacturing, according to LinkedIn posts and The Daily Brief by Zerodha


Fixed Low Pricing: The Indian government maintains a strictly controlled Maximum Retail Price (MRP) for urea (approx. ₹242 per 45kg bag), which has not changed in over a decade. This price is roughly 10-15% of the actual cost of production or import, incentivizing farmers to use it excessively over other, more expensive fertilizers like DAP or Potash

Diversion : An estimated 41% of subsidized urea is diverted to non-agricultural industrial uses, that the government must fulfill through imports.
