We need a separate thread to discuss post-deal new nuclear projects. http://www.hinduonnet.com/holnus/000200809081527.htm I hope we dont see a repeat of the telecom scene - lalas and money bags grabbing licenses and then selling them to foreign bidders after wasting a few years. Every project should...

The prospect of having $30-40 billion of tax payer funded reactors going waste is real but then as a $1 trillion economy getting bigger by 7-8% a year or higher, that is peanuts. We can defer the 8th pay commission award by a few months and get same value perhaps.

One day it will smell blood and eat you. Basic instincts. Can't do much. Look how great our relationship with BD is. Should give us enough lessons for a few generations. Why do you think India possesses the nuke deterrent? I think we agree generally that we should be friendly with them and not look...

Suppiah

A Bad neighbourhood, blood could spill into our land as well. Maintaining good relation ship with thm, (lip services) and managing good economics where it is mutually beneficial will benefit India and the ME states. We dfon't want US to play a unkle role in our backyards. US might hit and run, leav...

Suppiah

I agree we cant overtly take Iran on (or for that matter any of the other ME barbarians), but if someone is doing the dirty job for us, we can at least stand back and watch and not make too much noise. Why do we have to overtly take on Iran or for that matter the ME barbarians? Iran and most ME nat...

Other than open comments in press briefings or written statements, the rest of various journalists musings and conjectures and accounts are likely tainted with what they want to say to asked to be told often dressed up as comments by anonymous officials and unnamed diplomats. Whether we take them to...

Too much is said about the so called petrol factor. None of these rogues, be it Chavez, Putin or Saudi Barbarians/Iran can afford to cut off fuel supply, at least to the west. In the case of Putin and Chavez, it is oil exports to the west that feed their anti-western agenda, which is precisely why t...

Suppiah

There was a brief period of hope when Khatami was President. But today it is hard to see any hope of Iran cleaning itself up and coming out with a nice regime. Oil price has given the mullah's new lease of life. Iran is plagued by massive emigration of skilled people, whoever knows what is going on ...

Question to gurus on the Enrichment technology issue - are we proposing to buy raw ore (or unenriched) from OZ/Canada and refine it ourselves, will they allow such a thing given all the statistical manipulation possibilities? Dont we have this technology which TSP/Iran seems to possess? Isnt it bett...

Suppiah

US strategy in Iran would be very different from Afghan / Iraq. Unlike those two states where the aim was regime change and sustain that change through troops on ground, in Iran it will be destroy and get away. There is no point in regime change in Iran when nearly everyone (other than those that ra...

Suppiah

Iran needs nuclear power about as much as a Siberian needs an air-cooler. If anyone seriously believes that it is for 'peaceful' purposes, they can believe anything. If Israel/US do take offensive action to destroy Iran's nuclear ambition, regardless of the moral rights or wrongs of it, they are doi...

MKN has always been open mouthed. He is the GF of this cabinet. MMS freed of Stalinist slavery could care a bit less now as well but that needs to be confirmed by words from either himself or Pranab at the very least. Let us not have high hopes. I would not be surprised to see a MOEA statement than...

Narayana's post in the Caucus thread: The US today doesn't care a fig about Communism, and is in fact blind to the huge and growing threat from COMMUNISM. However, a lot of Americans automatically believe anything bad about RUSSIA. The blindness to Communism in the highest levels of the US security ...

Suppiah

I hope you get what I mean here. Exactly my friend, exactly. Difference of opinion is perfectly fine in a democracy as long as everyone that disagrees is committed to keeping the system and not sabotage it from within. Let me end this off topic banter by saying one small thing - touch your heart an...

Chinese FM arriving first in Calcutta!

The comrades that failed to deliver MMS' head on a plate must be getting a dressing down.

Suppiah

Hmmm... If USA were a true democracy, they would learn to accomodate the communists as well. But US wants to kill Communism. McCarthy is long dead and you can be a communist in US if you want to. It is just that not many do. The key difference, as you have admitted, is US wants to kill communism, n...

Wow, quite an eye-opener article. Did not know we had so much capacity for nuclear weapons.

Suppiah

There was a time when media was raising this question with fear - "Will oil hit $100?". Now they are raising the same question - with hope, since oil has declined much from $146 levels. However, this deal will hopefully contribute to another nail in the coffin of ME terrorists, Saudi Barba...

Arun_S: Fuel supply would have to wait for identifying which ones that are going to be placed under safeguards? Or has that been done already?

Suppiah

The residents of TN all dont read Chindu. It is mostly the upper classes, who still remember the Chindu of old time when it was not a marxist propaganda mouthpiece. To keep them engaged, chindu cleverly covers carnatic music, religious themes etc.

http://www.hindu.com/2008/09/07/stories/2008090757400100.htm Instructions have been received to make it sound China was so nice...not at all playing spoil sport, it only had to check with HQ, and it was the first to agree, that too directly to India. Sounds unbelievable doesn't it? Pray tell us why ...

Of course, bring India in and they'll never decide anything again. :rotfl: Send Ambassadors Arundhati Ghose and Sushma Swaraj, with Arundhati :(( Roy for comic entertainment and as Permanent Representative to Vienna (i.e., never to return to India). Well there is one thing they WILL decide - about ...

http://www.hindu.com/2008/09/07/stories/2008090757400100.htm SV says in his blog that US has an interest in spinning anti-china views as to what happened at NSG. I guess we can say there is an attempt here to create anti-US views, by quoting unnamed officials (See para 3). What happens at capital hi...

Suppiah

The final text looks fairly harmless, congrats to the negotiating team. 2(g) is a pain yes, but unfortunately we were a bit late to the game and testing has gone out of fashion anyway. We have a much steeper mountain to climb everytime we test, deal or no deal, because it will be like bursting crack...

from this website http://www.hinduonnet.com/holnus/000200809061969.htm During the entire process, "India was obliged to respect countries like Austria, New Zealand and Ireland as nuclear suppliers. What kind of suppliers are they God only knows," he said sarcastically. Iyengarvaal got this...

Our comrades bosses propaganda media covers the news along with same bland statement from the Chinese rep. to Vienna http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/ What can China do now? It has tried every trick in the book and failed. Me thinks it will ask the Comrades to start demanding that only Chinese react...

Suppiah

The sad sad part of this story is that just as the Chinese play hide and seek and not come out openly, their puppets in India will also point fingers at BJP. This foolish party should have made some noise, got some ducks shot and come out in strong support. A request - can someone please explain in ...

Suppiah

What can explain the pathetic attempt to white wash the Chinese story in this blog? A harsh call from Beijing to their puppets to speak to the propaganda chief and change the story?

Suppiah

Given the fact that Russia and France are going to get at least a third of the future deals, if not more, why is only GWB calling world leaders to push deal? What is Putin doing? How 'bout Sarkozy? I can understand that Putin's influence does not extend beyond Nicaragua and Belarus (and Sarkozy's be...

If nothing else we have to thank the nuke deal for creating some strange spectacles in our media and political landscape. How else do you explain a hardcore right-wing columnist like Chellaney getting so much column space from Chindu and left and right taking same position? Wont be surprised if we n...

What's the deadline, if any? Tonight IST?

Suppiah

Much though I dislike the dynasty and its chair-warmer for reducing the GOP to be a B-team of the mass murderers and traitors, the unilateral moratorium on testing was by ABV - primarily to reduce the noise coming from NPAs and west after Pokhran 98. It did put us back on good diplomatic track right...

Suppiah

I will be the happiest to see Russia /France etc breaking ranks supplying us nook stuff. Because the proliferators are anyway happily doing their trade under table and it is only the genuine ones that are wasting time on NSG nonsense. On a separate note, all this talk of Russia/France getting deals ...

Suppiah

One things for sure if US fails to convince the pipsqueaks and it becomes apparent they are rallying under China's banner then NSG is as good as dead if India walks out. I don't see how France and Russia - or for the matter US companies - are going to sit around and do nothing as countries with no ...

Suppiah

It would be nice if the whole affair convinces MMS of the devious role played by China and its puppets here. At the very least he should stop issuing bi-weekly certificates of patriotism to these mass murderers and traitors.

Suppiah

I have to say I don't agree with those making a big fuss about this test thingy and this so called disclosure. The NSG approval is to allow nuclear trade. The keyword here is 'allow' - not 'compel'. In other words, even after this whole affair getting approved, some nations may choose to avoid nucle...

Suppiah

India went nuclear because of 1964 not because of Diego Garcia. TSP followed suit.
