Thanks, JEM saar. Makes sense if that is all it is.

India has to use only a filtered version of the database for external coop. No country allows foriegn countries to access their database Which makes me ask, what is this "cooperation" all about? Is it even necessary? US has already demonstrated that it will not compromise the likes Headle...

I guess coming from a line of slaveowners must rankle Christine Fair, quite lovely how she dismisses Islam's destructive and evil history in India as "anti muslim". This joker needs to remain a paki expert like her idol Stephen Cohen (the lying oiseaule, not the scholar on Russian Affairs)...

Turkey is the biggest funder and supporter of ISIS to date, and Turkey commits ethnic cleansing of the Kurds under the guise of fighting ISIS - all of this was clear from the reports on various threads here. BBC's "news" is not worth the bytes it consumes on your hard drive. the ISIS was d...

^^^ 1 reasonable paki -- 300+ million more to go...assuming this guy is not bull-cutleted at some point for being against the mulk's interests of looting and plundering like their heroes.

Tuvaluan

The turkey strikes against IS are a complete sham. IS flags openly fly in turkish cities and we are supposed to believe the turkish govt. is actually bombing IS? effing farce.

Tuvaluan

So the Pakis will now fight their own creation called "ISIS" (lead by the replacement for Mullah Omar) in Afghanisthan and pretend that ISIS does not operate in Pakistan? How come ISIS only gained a foothold in the "border regions" of Af-Pak. Smells pretty fishy.

Tuvaluan

As long as there is state support to ISIS (and Turkey, KSA among others are known to provide state support), any military campaign is a recipe to waste soldiers and money -- Afghanisthan is a prime example of it. The US with all its military forces, was basically forced to give up without achieving ...

Oh geez, that's a tough one - Adele? a well known LTTE female cadre from Australia; you'd say there's only one such instance, however, there might as well be many unknown ones.... So "Balakrishnan" is a genuwine australian name is it? No chance she is related to a sri lankan tamil, eh? So...

When ABV (as soon as he was briefed about Kargil incursion) called NS, after talking to NS he passed the phone to Dilip Kumar. Dilip Kumar told NS that Kargil is going to harm Indian Muslims.

I mean does pak have lots of Uranium sources? If not then it will always be short. India is still having tough time sourcing it from Aussies and Kazaks. Pakis don't even have money to buy it in open for gray market. Plus its not like the number of reactors have gone up. Unless they are producing pl...

I think you have overlooked the obvious though, in the research world it is said there are no wrong answers in research because all results improve your understanding of the situation. "There are no wrong answers" eh? I guess facts are just silly things meant to fill up pages in a book. C...

I like it how the pakis are now calling the International Border, as a working boundary -- it just legitimizes India's case when take over Indian territory under paki occupation at some point.

Tuvaluan

Please note that I did mention that the LTTE and ISIS differ ideologically and objectively; that should have explained to you that it doesn't matter by which means one entity/organization draws or indoctrinate or radicalize its recruits. Point here is that, LTTE was/is by large international, contr...

p/s: please don't bring about my nationality into this as it is irrelevant to this discussion.

Contrary to the Muslims in western countries joining the ISIS, the non Muslim westerners themselves join ISIS, particularly because of broken home background who tend to be detached from the society, and make matters worse This kind of behavior is exactly the same that of kids with low self-esteem ...

^^^ Intelligence. Perhaps more able to put together the names and personas of the terrorist network in Pakistan.

also, GPS devices that would indicate the vicinity of the point of infiltration if they are switched on in India, or point of origin in pakistan.

Tuvaluan

How do you do that?

how do jihadis like IS choose their battles with different entities?

Tuvaluan

Pakistan focusing on USA & China? That seems far-fetched hope. Have you paid attention to how China treats muslims in Xinjiang? What is so far-fetched about the jihadi hordes from Pakistan getting riled up about that down the line? There is even a land-link between the two regions for the jihad...

Tuvaluan

In a way, the real end game is getting the pakis and IS and others to start focussing their energies on countries like USA and China -- that is the kind of thing that will put a quick end to this offshore balancing being practised by such countries.

Tuvaluan

No one believes that the end game is an apocalyptic "aar paar ki ladai". We will "take them (Pak) down" in the same way as US took USSR down. They will bleed to death, emasculated economically , and torn asunder internally as their national power keeps ebbing away. Cannot disagr...

What will secure the deal for the long term is what is in it for Iran and India. In other words, if it is a mutual win-win, the deal would be secure.

Actually, that is correct. Faster our growth, bigger will be our gross national power differentials with PAk (and narrower with China). And more resources available to spend on defence. There is usually no panacea for any problem, but fast growth comes close. Yes, no need to repeat the same nonsens...

The arms control crowd only needs to maintain the lie that it is a few hundred more than India -- America is not about to whittle its own numbers down into the hundreds yet.

Tuvaluan

The higher levels of the govt. "seal it" and the lower levels of the Iranian govt. break it using some bureaucratic excuse, which about reveals their real intent. Iran is a lost cause as far as India is concerned.

Tuvaluan

The arms control blowhards like Krepon and the rest of them at Arms Control Wonk have been throwing out random numbers for paki nukes which is usually Indian nukes + a few hundred, so they can pretend pakistan not only as nuclear parity but can demolish India many times over. As the ahole Krepon sta...

As far as I am concerned, the over-riding objective for India should be churn out a 15 year period of 8%+ growth. To facilitate that, we need peace at our borders (so that foreign investors are not spooked by "tensions" between nuclear neighbours), and management of terrorism inside India...

No matter how many divisions exist in the LeT, all of them will be under the control of the army, given that LeT is managed and owned by the paki army -- they will either just rename the org or find a new leader for it. Seems futile to try and use internal divisions in the LeT, as that only targets ...

In any case, military power can be justified as a means rather than an end. If there is anything India's past teaches us, it is that economic power, without the military power to back it up, is easily destroyed. So military power is the means by which economic power is safeguarded and enhanced. Of ...
