Kim Yong Un is very sane. You have fallen with open eyes in western propaganda who are crowing that the man is insane. Nothing could be further from the truth. When you have lost 1/3 of your population in the early 50s it is very sane to follow the nuclear path.

Middle East is Muslim
Vast majority of muslims are sunni, Saudi is home to the "Vatican" of muslims- not to mention thier oil reserves that gives tham financial plus religious leverage

Lol yeah both DFI, PDF...

This was when the Trump trade war against China was on-going and tech war had started. The panelists discussed about the Made in 2025 and then about China's aviation ambition, COMAC and all that. One of the panelists, James Lewis from CSIS, who was often quoted by media and press on China tech affairs, said that the global civilian aircraft market is barely enough for two players, and China should not enter the competition.
I guess I was quite impressed by his frankness and honesty, with no usual code words or phrases such as government support, state subsidies and any such things.
