I fail to see how India is even close to being viewed as an enemy, or vice versa.
Enemy of whom? Pakistan and whatever hashish addled mind came up with the document referred to in the article? Definitely. Not the U.S., if that’s how you read the article. India should be able take care of herself vs. anything the Taliban or ISIS could throw at her. This article reads like something even Debka would decline to publish.
King Hussien won’t fight ISIL, ISIS or whatever they want to call those psycho ragheads on U.S. terms militarily, so they will do anything to drag us kicking and screaming into a bloody confrontation on their terms. It’s only a matter of time.
It has a certain stupidity about it. :') This could be an actual ISIS delusion, but it sounds insufficiently plausible. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Almost as delusionally stupid as our leadership at the moment.
It also has that child temper tantrum feel of “stop ignoring me” to it.
I lived in India, and can say, that the hatred of Muslims runs very deep, and so, it would be a blood bath, similar to 1947.....
The danger of this threat must be taken very seriously and must not be underestimated.
Remember: Hitler was taken for a fool at first. This threat is far more dangerous than the Nazi movement.
“0bama has been briefed on the situation” -DRINK!
Just because it is stupid doesn’t mean it isn’t real, or serious. Plenty of lives have been been lost to “stupid”, maybe more than to any other single cause.
I don’t underestimate the threat. My point is that no one should underestimate India either. She’s not the post independence Nehru and Ghandi half starving socialist cripple she once was. India’s been a nuclear state for forty one years. And as B212 mentions, the Hindu majority’s (and the Sikh’s, who are prominent in the military) hatred - dry tinder needing only a match - for Muslims is deep and simmering.
Then why did the police have to scramble to find rifles and ammunition during that terror attack several years ago?
For the next 18 mos, if ISIS wants to provoke the US into armegeddan, they’ll have to attack a more cherished ally than India. Cuba or Iran come to mind.
China is a factor to consider, but it is doubtful that China would come to the aid of her archival India or try to save the West from its self-destructive decay.
Because the police in Mumbai were woefully unprepared. Our own FBI lost people and learned hard lessons when they had only pistols to go against AK’s. The Indian military is another thing entirely. One can ask the Pakistanis, who have had their a$$e$ handed to them by the Indians in several regional wars (a couple times when the US and China were quietly backing Pakistan). Now there’s a nuclear standoff and I personally find it hard to believe the Pakistanis are crazy enough to allow ISIS or the Taliban to provoke an atomic exchange. Small group terror attacks on soft targets are another matter.
Joke’s on them. Obama ain’t going to war to defend India.
Ain’t going to defend ANYONE.
Assistance? For what?
>>I fail to see how India is even close to being viewed as an enemy, or vice versa.<<
India and Pakistan have been at a state of war over Kashmir since 1947. Three Indo/Paki wars have been fought over this land.
