India: Laff a While. The quite seriousinadvertently provides many laffs.

1. Mr. Modi, the Indian PM, says that the future lies not in war, but in the wisdom of Buddha Given how little time he has for minority religions, and the bias he has against them, this is a bit hypocritical. He also says the world listens to India. I read the "foreign" press every day, and have yet to come across a single example of the world listening to Indian wisdom.2. The Chinese are providing oxygen supplies to their high altitude troops.One Indian wit asks if Chinese troops are to fight with oxygen tanks strapped to their backs, like astronauts?

3. A senior official says India should not worry overmuch about Chinese 6Gen fighter because they are powered by 4Gen engines, and India can exploit these vulnerabilities. How?  When? Where? The official does not tell us. China, of course, is working on advanced engines, and the current Gen6 appear to overhyped, Nonetheless, with an air force vanishing like a bowl of water in the Thar desert, we should not worry about advanced Chinese aircraft?4. Indian Army has produced a tractor withe ATGMs. May the Army can plow poor farmers' field inbetween fighting off Pakistani tanks?

5. The Indian defense establishment has posted signs in Goa (land of the hippies and nude beaches) around its property warning: "Trespassers will be shot, Survivors will be shot again." 

6. India has two production lines for the Tejas light fighter, activating a third, and plans a fourth. Since 2006 India has produced 40 aircraftThat's a bit over 2 per year. A feat without equal.
