OCI allows Canadians to maintain property ownership of ancestral land, which works to the detriment of Indian residents as s...

Re: 21st Century Asymmetric / Unconventional Warfare

The stray comment about using nukes in Gaza made me wonder if there were thoughts of burying a small nuke that could be set off to collapse the tunnels without causing damage on the surface. The tunnels reach up to 240 feet below the surface so not a trivial undertaking.
