Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023
There could be some minor repurcussions. Arab sheikdoms may try to armtwist India by saying Indian expats in The Gelf would be asked to go back to India. In secular states like KL there would be a loud hue & cry, especially as the RoP folks and the commies now pretty much grovel in front of the...

Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023
Escalation at a global scale. IMO, Bharat should engage in this. A seat at the table will never come without taking huge risks. This risk, IMO, is worth taking. It should not be a situation like migrant workers in Kashmir, without the IA to protect them. These workers may be working among Palestini...

Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023
The only country I support in this conflict is mine. In that regard, I think a longer war (with Israel on top at the end) works best for us. Before this conflict, a separate Palestinian state was dead. There was an emerging alliance of US+Israel+Saudi+Minor Gulf states all taking on Iran. India woul...

Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023

Hamas could only hope to this by incurring as many civilian casualties as possible. In that re...

Drone swarm attack at Russia's Pskov airbase 40km from the Estonia border.
4 * IL-76 aircraft destroyed or damaged (big fires seen).
No way the drones had the range to fly from Ukraine. If they came from Estonia it is a dangerous escalation by NATO.
