Not true. India is still a domestic market. It is not dependent on other countries expect for energy imports. Much of indian consumerism is still limited to kanda, batata and shakar.

Look at the geopolitical location of srilanka. It's going to get f'ed eventually. All it needs is a reason.

Forget what india THINKS.
Look at what india DOES.

Then ask yourself this... when SL was carpet bombing the north, what did india do? Did it prevent it or not?

There are large reserves of oil in Iran, owning them or destroying them would raise the price of oil which will immensely benefit american oil barons. What kind of assessment is this?

@vikramd The US has no real objective in iran other than to bomb the hell out of it. That's no strategy; it's plain hillbilly stuff.

India did outsource it's foreign policy wrt iran when it signed the indo-us nuke deal. The nuke deal was signed in 2005. It's inception was much earlier. Probably originated to counter the conception of the indo-pak-iran pipeline project. This reveals that the intent to attack iran was conceived muc...

The border states of india adjoining china are several decades behind in any kind development. Much of that region in untouched terrain specifically cultivated for ambush. The massive resource buildup across the chinese border is baffling for indian security. It doesn't make any other sense.

The srilankans shot their own foot by carpet bombing the civilians with such impunity.

The last thing the US wants is to quietly watch the srilankans become a chinese satellite in the indian ocean. It all points to isolation.
