⚓️ "L'accélération des cycles d'innovation a un effet nivelant. Cela profite de façon disproportionnée aux puissances régionales, qui disposent désormais de capacités jusque-là réservées aux marines les plus puissantes." @amiralVandier

@tanjil_rashid_ @ZareerMasani @saliltripathi 1. #Partition1947 counterfactuals aren't counterintuitive. #Partition ended a zero sum game among the same stale set of interlocutors conducting a dialogue of the deaf #Simla, June '45 onwards. #CabinetMissionPlan's devolution did NOT solve #India's impasse.
@tanjil_rashid_ @ZareerMasani @saliltripathi 2. #Jinnah accepted the #CabinetMissionPlan for an embryonic #Pakistan was assured, and permitted to secede, come 1957, if the #confederation was not to the #MuslimLeague's liking. Routinely overlooked by #Nehru's #Indian and #Pakistani baiters.
@tanjil_rashid_ @ZareerMasani @saliltripathi 3. To iterate: #CabinetMissionPlan was a pilot project to be reviewed decadally. Just how was #India and #Nehru to embark on #economic #planning and consolidate a #democratic #union of disparate elements riven by #regionalism, #casteism and #sectarianism?

"#China’s #navy is already the world’s largest by #s of vessels. The @USNavy has 297 battle-force ships..according to @CRS4Congress, while China has 355 & is projected to have 460 by 2030, according to last year’s @DeptofDefense report."

But, said Andrew Erickson, research director of the @ChinaMaritime Studies Institute @NavalWarCollege, “as impressive as those numbers are, without a significant network of robust overseas facilities, their ability to use them falls off rapidly w distance from China.” #Ream #Base

So, What is Wealth? Wealth is an asset that you earn while you sleep. Wealth can be a business, investing in stocks, software that serves other users/customers while you are sleeping, or even a house that you rented out.

🧵I’m both heartened and worried after just coming back from #Kyiv 🇺🇦, where @gmfus @ua_boell delegation, which I had a honor to lead, meet with key government officials, opposition, think tanks, and civil society. Here are few observations from the past days 👇
There is ZERO desire among Ukrainians to give in to Russian demands. They are determined and defiant. I don’t know what Putin is thinking, but the Ukrainian people are not going to accept a Moscow puppet government in Kyiv. If Putin’s decide to attack, Ukraine will make him pay.

The Payambar-e A’zam (The Great Prophet) 14 exercises are giving us great looks at the unpowered mockup, much smaller than The Real Thing. IRGC speedboats are seen running circles around the barge, pushed by a tugboat at the stern
The IRGC are using home-built #UAV unmanned aerial vehicles and fast speedboats armed with guns and rockets. Troops drop on the mock flattop from helicopters, and at least one parachuted in past fake F-18F Super Hornet fighters - which even featured Modex numbers on the nose
