Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion

At the risk of sounding a little crazy; I hope Devyani was properly debriefed when she returned to Delhi, preferably with a LD machine attached. Have to guard against "insertion".

Re: India-US Strategic News and Discussion

There is no chance of any strategic alliance continuing... the Americans are back to their dirty tricks. Now they have asked the Poodle to dig up Operation Bluestar again. This news is pushing down and diverting away from "May Affair".

Re: Indian Naval Discussion

Whether it was an accident, or sabotage - this is what happens when we are led by a listless, spineless, clerical puppet. The only vision for our PM is to follow orders to make it easy for the "yuvraj" to succeed.

I have a different take on this. The Chinese are no fools, to get into firefights with South Korea, Japan, India, Vietnam and Philippines, and that too simultaneously. And in the media it sure is being played out like this, but look at the economy of effort. Thirty soldiers pitching tents in Ladakh,...
