Leap forward, my foot. Saudis will just censor the films severely -- they already do that in real time to cable TV shows. If you watch "friends" or some such show with adult themes on Saudi cable, you will find the screen going blank a few times during the show, when some censoring officia...

The one common thing between most of the Indian attendees is that they are all ex-bureaucrats with ties to IFS/IAS. I have long suspected that Sonia and Co are just a front for a corrupt front of the babucracy that wants to wield power after installing someone clueless like sonia on the throne. If a...

aditya_v: Thats Bullshit, it will not deter them. What deters them is conventional arms and Nukes plus a large population. It will not be in their interest to help Pakis in a war against us.

The US is welcome to support all the terrorists it wants to, and surely this won't be the last time either -- first they created the mythical "al qaeda" and then partnered with "al qaeda" in Syria where they had a hand in creating and supporting ISIS. It is just amusing to see th...

Given the track thoo stuff that happened in Thailand recently, this seems to be congress's own tr ack-thoo negotiations. Apparently, congress wants to meet with foreign governments all by themselves, just like they met the chinese during the recent doklam standoff.

I don't see why these planes would fly eastwards, given India has friendly relations with all of them. This is just a friendly family bloodletting in west asia -- the worst outcome for the rest of the world would be if all these buggers actually got along.

From LAtimes article: By now it should be obvious that the Syrian Arab Army has played a role in degrading Islamic State in Syria — not alone, of course, but with Russian and Iranian partners , not to mention the impressive U.S.-led coalition .

India's official statement that its policy on Palestine and Jerusalem is independent of the policy of other countries (US) in the region. So nothing about supporting or not supporting Trump's jerusalem move has been said officially by this govt.

I am not sure India should help Iran and the US to come to better terms -- Iran has always started effing with India once it has a stable outlook with the USA, and this happened during obama's tenure.
