BEIJING, Jan 20: China fears containment abroad and separatist groups at home, a defence policy paper said, justifying a drive to increase military spending and push the People’s Liberation Army into the high-tech era.

China’s security has been improving as its economy grows and the PLA embraces modernisation, the defence “white paper” said, but pro-independence forces in Taiwan, Tibet and the energy-rich western region of Xinjiang still “pose threats to China’s unity and security”.

“On this issue, there can be no compromise and no concessions,” Defence Minstry chief spokesman Hu Changming said at a news conference to launch the document.

China has pointed to its recent deployment of navy ships to police pirate-troubled seas off Africa as a sign of benign military intentions. Analysts say the mission shows a rising but cautious power’s desire to project its growing global influence without alarming neighbours.

But China’s inceased spending o arms has been criticised as opaque by other countries, including the United States and Japan.

Beijing says its defence budget is purely for defensive purposes and is quite open, and it notes its budget is much smaller than Pentagon’s. Experts estimate China’s true defence spending could be as much as triple the stated figure.

“China is faced with superiority of developed countries economically, scientifically and technologically, as well as militarily,” the 95-page white paper said.

“It also faces strategic manoeuvres and containment from the outside wile having to face disruption and sabotage by separatist and hostile forces from the inside.”

China has long feared being surounded by hostile forces on its extensive borders, whether by Russia in the north and west, India to the southwest or allies of the USA in the east, including South Korea, Japan and Taiwan.

The US Defence Department budget for fiscal 2009 is $515 billion, a 7.5 percent rise on the previous year. That number does not include separate multi-billion dollar outlays for Iraq and Afghanistan and some spending on nuclear weapons.

China’s defence budget for 2009 has not been released. In 2008, the government said it would spend 418 billion yuan ($61 billion) on defence, up 17.6 percent on 2007.

News reports are suggesting that no Islamic financial institution has failed n the credit crisis, while unprecedented bailout packages have been put together to deal with the systemic threat posed by the falling conventional financial institutions.

Not that Islamic financial institutions have been unaffected by grim market conditions – after all, they are subject to the same economic environment as conventional financial institutions. Still, years of double digit growth and lack of a bakruptcy in the current market conditions have produced optimism in Islamic finance circles and this optimism is being reflected in some press statements made by Islamic economists highlighting its virtues.

But does this survival mean that the youthful Islamic finance is now ready to shine and influence the thinking in the established conventional finance? Perhaps not. There are three simple arguments to suggest that in order to influence the thinking in conventional finance, Islamic finance needs to do a lot more than surviving the crisis.

First, despite the havoc wreaked by the credit crisis, conventional finance has not been pushed to the point of re-thinking its fundamentals. While experts are identifying a wide range of causes behind the credit crisis, they are not saying that there is something inherently wrong with either money lending or trading risk through derivatives. In fact, mainstream thought in conventional finance is perhaps more concerned with the possibility of over regulation of markets rather than re-writing the text book.

Contrast conventional finance with mainstream Islamic finance that prohibits money lending and trading of risk, requires all trading to be based on real goods and services, and prefers risk-reward sharing contracts. These prohibitions and requirements are an important reason why Islamic financial institutions did not invest in the products that have hurt their conventional counterparts. But that does not mean that conventional finance is now going to be more favourably disposed to such prohibitions nor should the need for excess liquidity in the oil-rich Arab countries be confused with a desire to learn from Islamic finance.

 To influence the thinking in conventional finance, Islamic finance cannot rely on a favourable setting produced by the current crisis. It needs to come up with empirical evidence to prove that the costs of money lending and derivatives outweigh their benefits.

 While some empirical evidence against money lending is perhaps already there for debt and poverty in developing countries, the challenge is to put it in the Islamic finance context and also come up with evidence in corporate and consumer lending. Unless modern research methods are used to back up the arguments, it is unlikely that conventional finance would be willing to consider learning from Islamic finance.

 Second, the Islamic finance industry needs to establish a track record that it can employ to influence the thinking in conventional finance. Modern Islamic finance is less than forty years old and estimates of its global total assets tend not to exceed $1 trillion whereas the asset of a large conventional bank could be more.

    While the share of Islamic finance varies significantly across countries, so far in no country is Islamic finance being associated with a positive impact on economic development which was not acheived by conventional finance. On the other hand, Islamic finance remains subject to fierce criticism for putting form over substance.

For instance, critics of Islamic finance say that some Islamic banks effectvely lend money on interest through Tawarruq, where the bank first purchases a commodity with a stable price from a roker on spot, sells it to the customer on credit, who in turn immediately sells it on spot to realise the proceeds. The purchases and sales are done instantaneously and none of the parties needs the undrlying commodity making the trasactions look like a meaningless ritual.

Similarly, the tendency in Islamic financehas been to replicate conventional financial products, sometimes by increasingly liberal interpretations of Shari’ah. Thus many consider Shari’ah compliance to be a question of structuring the desired form rather than a change in substance. Take for instace the market for Sukuk (often called the Islamic bonds). Some of underlying structures in Sukukhad become so dangerously close to conventional bonds that the influential and conservative Islamic finance scholar from Pakistan, Maulana Taqi Usmani, had to issue a biting critique that shook the Sukuk market.

    Still, it is not difficult to find those who justify the inclusion of conventional derivatives in Islamic financ or defend controversial practices like Tawarruq. Clearl, replicating conventional products and structures in this manner is not the way to teach a lesson to conventional finance.

Third, many underlying causes for the credit crisis are problems of governance which are not unique to conventional finance. Decision-makers – whether mortgage brokers, credit rating agencies, the US legislature, regulators, or others – were either unable or unwilling to exercise independent judgement due to conflicts of interest. These governance challenges are clearly relevant for Islamic finance.
Take the case of Shari’ah supervisory Boards that rule whether a product or service is permissibe or not. Ordinary Muslims have high, and at times unmet, expectations of wisdom and piety from the scholars serving on these boards. Given the potentially large compensation of scholars, the Shari’ah Supervisory Boards are subject to conflicts of interest and critics have been hitting them hard.

   Mahmoud El-Gamal, a professor Rice University in the US, charges the scholars with promoting “rent seeking Shari’ah arbitrage” and earning large sums for themselves. Products approved as Shari’ahcompliant by some boards have later been criticised for lack of such compliance. Still, we are yet to see a systematic response based on transparency and accountability to such criticism. And the conflict of interest in Shari’ah supervisory boards is not the only governance issue being faced by Islamic finance.
  

 There is cynicism that given the general lack of good governance in many countries with large Muslim populations – not unlike other developing countries – Islamic finance ay not be able to break free and chart a course of success of its own. In an environment that does not foster trust or enforce contracts, investments based on risk-reward sharing – the essence of Islamic finance  – are unlikely to compete effectively with collateralised money lending.

In sum, despite the credit crisis, conventional finance remains unlikely to reconsider its fundamentals and Islamic finance needs research, genuine risk-reward sharing,  and a track record of success to be able to influence the thinking in conventional finance.

India’s de facto ruler, Sonia Gandhi, has warned Pakistan against “taking India’s wish for peace as a sign of weakness” (Dec 22).

Every country in South Asia knows that India is upto scores of times bigger in size and military strength. They have also learned from experience how the giant neighbour throws its weight around. Thus, even the landlocked Nepal was subjected to an economic blockade and Sri Lanka was so worried in the 80’s that it had reportedly asked Britain, China and Pakistan tohelp it in case of an Indian invasion.

Pakistan, too, knows this and much more, having lost its eastern wing primarily due to Indian military might/intervention. So, Mrs Gandhi, everybody around here knows India’s superficial strength. But, what is real power, do you ever try to understand?

True power is what China has been exhibiting in its relations with its South Asian neighbours. When, during the 1962 war with India, it had pushed the Indian army out of the disputed territory, it declared a ceasefire and returned the Indian weapons it had captured, after duly polishing and servicing them! That is what is known as strength.

Standing up fearlessly to a 7 times bigger adversary, as the Pakistanis have been doing for 61 years, is also toughness.

It is not the bullying of weaker countries by holding a gun to their heads, as India does, won’t do. Nor is it the occupation of territories, as New Delhi did in case of Kashmir, Hyderabad, Junagadh, Goa, Sikkum and Siachen Glacier. And by no means is it the stoppage of river waters to Pakistan or Bangladesh either.

The Indian Sufi Hazrat Inayat Khan had explained this in his own wisdom:

“A person in the intoxication of outer power that he possesses overloks the cultivation or the developmnt of inner power, and, depending upon the power that does not belong to him, one day becomes the victim of the very power that he holds… So it is that the heroes, the kings, the emperors, the persons with great power of arms… have become the victim of the very power upon which they always depended.”

Thus, slitting pen the bellies of pregnant Muslim women or burning to death Christian missionaries is not power, any more than holding Kashmiris or Nagas or Naxalite farmers captive at gunpoint your strength. That is why violent protestors or their sympathisers now besiege India.

If India had existed in Euope, would Italy, France, Germany or Britain have allowed it to gobble up slices of their territories? This is something that Mrs Gandhi and the European supporters of India should ponder about. How can China, Pakistan or other regional countries let New Delhi usurp their lands or riverine resources?

Former Indian President Radhakrishnan had said many decades ago: “Our opportunities are great but let me warn you that when power outstrips ability, we will fall on evil ways”.

More poignantly, John Milton had observed: “What is strength without a double share of wisdom? Vast, unwieldy, burdensome, proudly secure, yet liable to fail by weakest subtleties, strength’s not mad to rule, but to subserve, where wisdom bears command”.

Both of them could have been speaking of present-day India.

India’s stand fraught with risks: Zardari

By Syed Irfan Raza

ISLAMABAD, Jan 6:

The government ‘emphatically rejected’ on Tuesday an allegation by Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh that Pakistan was involved in sponsoring terrorism in India.

 It said India had embarked on a ‘propaganda offensive’ and such allegations would jeopardise chances of cooperation against terrorism.

According to sources, the Indian allegations were rejected during a meeting between President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani held soon after Dr Singh’s statement on Tuesday.

Air Chief Marshal Tanvir Mehmood Ahmed also called on the president and toldhim that Pakistan Air Force (PAF) was capable of foiling any aggression.

 President Zardari urged the Indian leadership to refrain from hurling allegations about involvement of official agencies in the Mumbai attacks, because this could only escalate tension.

 He said Pakistan would itself take action against ‘non-state actors’ involved in the Mumbai carnage and there was no question of their extradition to India.

Foreign Office spokesman Mohammad Sadiq quoted President Zardari as saying: “Instead of responding positively to Pakistan’s offer of cooperation and constructive proposals, India has chosen to embark on a propaganda offensive. The approach is fraught with grave risks.”

“Vilifying Pakistan, or for that matter any of its state institutions, on this score is unwarranted and unacceptable. This is a sure way to close avenues of cooperation in combating the menace (of terrorism),” the spokesman said at a briefing.

 ”It will not only ratchet up tensions, but occlude facts and destroy all prospects of serious and objective investigations into the Mumbai attacks,” he said.

 He said the Indian approach would vitiate the situation in South Asia.

“Only yesterday, the government of India was advised not to embark on political point-scoring. Regrettably this advice has not been heeded,” he said.

The spokesman said that Pakistan was a victim of terrorism and this pernicious phenomenon was regionally pervasive.

“Pakistan has suffered more terror attacks than India. But we have not lost our equanimity,” he said.

Mr Sadiq said Pakistan did not sponsor terrorism. “Our civillian and armed forces’ casualties over the past year in terror attacks and in countering terrorism have been far more than those of India.” He said several South Asian states had been victims of all kinds and manifestations of terrorism.

The Government of Pakistan expects the Government of India to demonstrate restraint and responsibility. The policy of casting accusations without uncovering full facts and even while the investigations are still continuing is irresponsible.

“Pakistan strongly rejects efforts at political and military coercion which are counter-productive. India must refrain from hostile propaganda and must not whip up tensions. It must also take steps to de-escalate its offensive military posture against Pakistan,” he said.

“We need no exhortations from India. Indian government is well advised to take careful stock of its own policies and conduct that are contributory to the problems facing South Asia,” he said.

Are you gonna keep Barking or are you gonna bite Doggy?

For a nice laugh, you must watch the video below:

The superpower these days is working on its punctured missiles while Pranab Mukherjee is probably gonna be the first missile himself to be fired off the Govt. of India in a very short time. Poor guy’s done a fair lot to discredit Pakistan, however, unfortunately this wasn’t enough for the Mumbai elites who want more “action” from the Indian Govt. to go against Pakistan. By initially blaming Pakistan and later on not being able to prove their claims or substantiate the fake and fictitious evidences, Indian Govt. is in for a rough ride!

With Mullen asking for a guarantee that PAF will not respond to Indian surgical strikes.

General Kiyani is said to have responded with showing Mullen a photograph of an IAF Mirage-2000 locked by Pakistan Air Forces’ F-16 taken on December 13th. ‘Next time, we’ll bring it down’, Mullen was told.

To make sure the message was loud and clear, Pakistan Air Force jets started patrolling the skies in hot mode and a red-alert was issued througout the country.

•                                       Picture: The defeated Mukherjee.

With India and Pakistan standing eyeball to eyeball, it was India who blinked first, with its media and officials admitting defeat on the diplomatic front.

Times of India writes:

While the de-escalation should soothe the tense nerves of the international community, it was being feared that Islamabad, by raising the bogey of war, may have edged out India’s concerns. By feeding fears of an imminent conflict between two nuclear-armed rivals, it had ensured that the focus would shift towards conflict prevention. Indian security experts noted that Gilani made it a point to mention that “our friends are persuading India against aggression”.

While the government persisted with reminders to Islamabad about unkept promises, independent security experts sid Pakistan may have got away with almost no cost at all. “As of now, Pakistan has managed to divert attention from the Mumbai attacks to an India-Pak conflict,” said K Subrahmanyam.

It was diplomacy by fear, and Pakistan played it effectively. As it allowed passions to run high and let known terrorists join in the show of national belligerence, it was also playing victim. As part of the script, its foreign secretary, it now turns out, even summoned the Indian high commissioner in Islamabad, Satyabrata Pal, on Friday to lecture him on the need for India to bring down tensions.

The US and China had on Friday asked India – in a clear sign of Pakistan’s success – to engage in a dialogue with Pakistan. It’s becoming increasingly evident that India has so far nothing to show for all its diplomatic offensive in the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks.

How could things have gone so wrong, wonders Vir Sanghvi of the Hindustan Times:

I am now coming round to the view that they’ve only gone wrong for us. They’ve gone very right for Pakistan. Islamabad has got exactly what it needs, and what it always wanted.

Consider what’s happening today. The operation in the tribal areas has stalled. The Taliban have sworn to back the Pakistan army against India. Troops have been moved to the Indian border. The incoming Obama administration is talking about appointing a special envoy for India and Pakistan.

And forget about acting against those who organised the Bombay attacks. Pakistan isn’t even willing to hand over Dawood Ibrahim or Masood Azhar. Moreover, Washington seems largely content with this state of affairs.

I don’t want to sound like a pessimist or a war-monger — especially since I have always applauded New Delhi’s moderation and restraint — but it is beginning to seem to me that Pakistan has out-manoeuvered both India and America.

M K Bhadrakumar writes at Asia Times Online:

By gently holding out the threat to the US that the Afghan operations would grievously suffer unless Washington restrained Delhi from precipitating any tensions on the India-Pakistan border, Islamabad seems to have neatly pole-vaulted over Rice to appeal straight to the Pentagon, where there is abiding camaraderie towards the Pakistani generals.

With Pakistan’s recalcitrance and Mullen’s veiled threat of reopening the Kashmir file, a sense of frustration is gripping Delhi. Pakistan has ignored India’s tough posturing. The faltering Indian security agencies, which have been in a state of appalling decline in recent years, seem to have failed to put together any hard evidence of a Pakistani involvement in the Mumbai attacks.

All indications are that Pakistan is not impressed by the Indian rhetoric. It seems to think Indian politicians are grandstanding in an election year. But, just in case Delhi may spring a surprise, Pakistani army chief General Ashfaq Kiani has warned that the armed forces would give an equal response “within few minutes” if India carried out any surgical military strikes. “The armed forces are fully prepared to meet any eventuality, and the men are ready to sacrifice for their country,” he reportedly said.

Just as we predicted, an all out war seems to have been averted and Indian media and officials are admitting defeat.

China, Saudi Arabia and Iran have come out strongly in the last couple of days which saw an intense diplomatic effort by all parties to make it clear to India that they not only remain unconvinced of Delhi’s allegations, but also that any attack could have serious consequences for India and the region as a whole.

Pranab Mukherjee was made to do an embarassing u-turn on India’s previous stance previously, admitting that terrorism – a global issue and not a bilateral one – should be fought jointly.

The Indian officials have also been made to back-track from their earlier claims of deploying troops along the border with Pakistan.

Times of India, December 22nd:
Even as India refused to take the military option off the table while asking Pakistan to rein in the terrorists, the Indian Army’s and IAF’s quick reaction teams (QRTs) were deployed along the borders in the Western Sector.

“Runways, hangars, main roads, ammunition stores and other sensitive places have been provided with additional cover. Sophisticated radars are installed at a few air bases and we are keeping watch on each and every cross-border activity,” said an IAF personnel.

Indian forces were on regular firing exercises at locations like Lathi Firing Range in Jaisalmer, Mahsan in Bikaner, Suratgarh and Ganganagar.

India Today, December 27th:
India has informed Pakistan that it has not engaged in any sort of troop build-up along the frontier

In response to the ‘deadline’ set by India and the threats from Sonia Gandhi and Pranab Mukherjee, Pakistan had gone on a diplomatic counter-offensive, briefing world powers and countries in the region on the deteriorating relations with India and the steps taken by it to address Indian concerns. Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir met ambassadors of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council — the US, Britain , China , France and Russia . He also met ambassadors of Italy , Japan , Germany , Saudi Arabia , Iran and Turkey soon after returning from France where he had gone for annual bilateral consultations. However, his most crucial meeting was with Indian High Commissioner Satyabrata Pal at the Foreign Office when he said that India should defuse tension.

Mr Pal was accompanied by his deputy Manpreet Vohra. The Indian side was categorically told that any ‘surgical strikes’ would be considered a declaration of war. India was urged to respond to Pakistan ’s proposal for joint investigation into the Mumbai attacks.

According to sources, the Indian diplomats looked sombre when they came out of the meeting.

As things stand, the possibility of war has been averted for now in which is being seen as a massive diplomatic victory for Pakistan.

This of course does not mean that we should let our guard down. In addition to the diplomatic counter-offensive, it was Pakistan Army’s seriousness that put India on the backfoot.

Once the realization set in that any further attempts to enter Pakistan Airspace will be punished severely by the PAF, the Indians had gone to plan B, with Mullen asking for a guarantee that PAF will not respond to Indian surgical strikes.

General Kiyani is said to have responded with showing Mullen a photograph of an IAF Mirage-2000 locked by Pakistan Air Forces’ F-16 taken on December 13th. ‘Next time, we’ll bring it down’, Mullen was told.

To make sure the message was loud and clear, Pakistan Air Force jets started patrolling the skies in hot mode and a red-alert was issued througout the country.

Failing to get that guarantee, the chance of an Indian strike was reduced significantly. For them it was never about a full war. A few surgical strikes on pre-agreed locations would have been enough to relieve some of the pressure the Indian Government faces domestically. Pakistan Army on the other hand made it clear that any action from India would be taken as a declaration of war, and the response would be swift and decisive.

India faces humiliation now on the diplomatic front having failed to achieve anything from this standoff.

In its attempts to isolate Pakistan by building what it saw as a definitive case, it is India that stands alone on the diplomatic front and is left with begging the Iranians and Chinese to put pressure on Pakistan.

We can now expect an intense and sustained terrorism campaign in Pakistani cities in an attempt to destabilize the country along ethnic / sectarian lines – New Delhi’s time-tested method.

On the diplomatic front India will be lobbying hard to have the ISI (and Pakistan Army) declared as terrorist organisations.

We can also not rule out another false flag attack in the next few weeks.

Pakistan needs to stay united.

Its not over yet.

Admin’s comment: India as usual under-estimated Pakistan, by threatening Pakistani Govt. of dire consequences soon after the Mumbai operation was carried out. Pakistan luckily had a rather castrated set of people running the state of affairs at the presidency. They bowed down to Indian pressure and began pursuing the path to destruction on Indian dictation. Pretty soon however, Indian Airforce made the mistake of provoking the Pakistan Army, that was simply observing the whole drama from the pavillion. When provoked, Pakistan Army came to the rescue and thrust behind these bloody politicians and locked horns with Indian forces, which after witnessing Pakistani muscle couldn’t do much except wet their pants. This led to the final results of this whole drama causing the barking from Indian side to be silenced as their Defence Minister made a conclusive statement that has been discussed in the article above.

General Rtd. Aslam Baig has said that US General Mullen is pressing our authorities to allow India to hit certain targets, keeping silent and indifferent to the situation as they have been doing in case of US drone attacks, which he believes, will cool down India and diffuse tensions between the two countries.

“I don’t think that conscientious Pakistani nation and brave armed forces of Pakistan will accept such a situation. This will be shameful and render Pakistan’s submission to India,” the retired General said. 

He called upon the rulers to explain their position in this regard. He said that the US was after ridiculing the sovereignty of Pakistan only to please India and Mullen had come with a dangerous message.

UPDATE: Reports coming in from variuos sources suggest that COAS Gen. Kiyani made it clear yesterday that regardless of how the civilan government chooses to respond to the US request to allow Indian ’surgical strikes’, Pakistan Army will not accept any Indian intrusion. The scrambling of jets over Lahore and Islamabad yesterday was part of this and the armed forces are alert and ready to defend against any Indian action.

Kiyani is also said to have told US Michael Mullen that in event of any aggression from India, the US and NATO can ‘forget about’ using Pakistan territory to supply their forces in Afghanistan as all resources will be diverted to defending against India on the eastern border.

“The armed forces are fully prepared to meet any eventuality, as his men are ready to sacrifice for their country,” General Kiyani told the Zardari Govt. yesterday in a meeting where he also stressed that any further buckling under mounting Indian pressure would prove counter-productive in the sense that it would further encourage New Delhi to build up pressure on Islamabad.

Pakistan would respond “within minutes” in the event of surgical strikes by India, he added.

We started counting our days long time ago. But we didn’t know India would invite us to give a reason to take her down with us. Bravo India! Only to appease the 4% in Mumbai, you’re taking the rest of the 96% down by triggering the Pakistani nation – which has never taken pride in anything except in teaching the Hindu zionists a lesson. We’re ready to teach you the lesson once again, that you’ve forgotten in less than half a century.

In other words: Finally Master Yoda(Gen Kiyani) has responded to the verbal aggression of the Dark Lord(Hindu Zionist Military).

Master Yoda in his recent statement has said, and I quote: “a wrong direction the dark forces have taken. Teach them a lasting lesson, we will!”

A PakistanKaKhudaHafiz Report

Further to the incident yesterday where IAF jets entered Pakistan’s airspace, they would be well advised to think twice before they dare to make such a ‘mistake’ again. PAF doesn’t f**k around.

Indian resources have naturally refuted and denied PAF air superiority over the FIVE times larger IAF in the 65 and 71 wars. Indian and Pakistani claims and counter claims are pointless on this subject as they tend to be biased and blurred with nationalism. The only way to assess this is through the neutral and qualified international opinion, which has now become aviation history: 

An article in the May 1993 issue (pages 46-47) of Airforces Monthly, a reputable UK-based air defence magazine, written by a Russian aviation writer, Sergey Vekhov, for the first time in public, provided a first-hand account about the PAF’s pilots:

“As an air defence analyst, I am fully aware that the Pakistan Air Force ranks today as one of the best air forces in the world and that the PAF Combat Commanders’ School (CCS) in Sargodha has been ranked as the best GCI/pilot and fighter tactics and weapons school in the world”. As one senior US defence analyst commented to me in 1992, “It leaves Topgun (the US Naval Air Station in Miramar, California) far behind”.

Article in the May 1993 issue (pages 46-47 by Sergey Vekhov)

We have been able to put together a collection of quotes by various international observers on the abilities of Pakistan Air Force, and their history of dominance over the IAF.

If this doesn’t fill you with pride, nothing will:

Pakistan has always had the honor of being the peaceful one of the lot. Most of the time when Indian soldiers, and Indian Jet Fighters are lost and “accidentally” step into Pakistan territory, our Army takes them by the finger and leads them back into their own territory. Just like you would help a blind man cross the road. Today Indians, after being patted by the West every now and then, have mistakenly “assumed” that they are finally ready to attack and conquer Pakistan. However, my dear Indian friends, the case is not so. We are already bruised. If we are further evoked, the consequences might be injurious to your health and definitely fatal to your bloody Airforce. So take this as a loud and clear message: BACK OFF! or we’ll rip you apart.
