Diplomacy is a Dirty Word in America

This a simple warning to Russians.

Iranian due to religious Fatwa Faith believed in diplomacy.
No Nuclear Arsenal.
What was the end result.
2000 projectiles in less than 24 hours.

They did not believe Americans but built its stockpile for an eventuality where diplomatic channels break down. They were intelligent to foresee the future iteration.

But North Koreans had one simple answer.

Both Tacticle and Nuclear Arsenal.

I think he is the brightest of the lot.

I abhor war. We had this problem with LTTE spearheaded by RAW in India. We never believed Indians until Anura came into power.
Indians in Israel worked for the Mosad.
They had been double dealers for ages.
It is true for Turkish who are also double dealers.

If a country cannot defend itself it is erases it own history. Dismantling CEYLONESE Army is the ploy of LTTE and RAW. It is moounts to Total Stupidity. 

Mageia 7 Installation

Mageia 7 Installation

Manradke was the Linux distribution that I first learned to use in Linux.
It changed to Mandrake and due to litigation problems went into hibernation or defunct.
Fortunately community in France maintained it as Mageia Linux.
I installed it today in my laptop as the Third Distribution, in addition to Debian 10 and Emmabuntus 3 Debian version.
It reminded me of the early days and very well organized installation with enough pause for doing step by step configuration.
While installing it I read the documentation which was pretty good for a newbie.
Nevertheless I read the entire documentation.
It is bit slow in installation and it was very helpul for an old guy like me who has slowed down in reflexs.
(Not the reading speed which is very fast in my case).
Thank you guys / girls for all the security features including logging screen at boot up.
It is the best UEFI booting supported Linux distribution.
Windows intention is to pull the rug under your feet to mess up installing or duel booting Linux.
Mageia has done a good job not violating Free Software Protocol.
Many Thanks.
