The paki’s have had a deep seated hatred of India for generations.
I can only think that their hatred of India was the reason for this attack and many of the paki’s would actually welcome a war with India
exactly the immigration into Europe and America would be astounding.
millions of them coming here and bringing their backward beliefs with them
I gladly accept the appointment as “Honorable DotHead” with humility and am honored to do so with pleasure....
I have long been aware of the difference between the citizens of Pakistan and India, having had extensive interaction in business and personal relationships with both.
Also, it has always been my position - that the enemy of my enemy is my friend......
I forgot to ask....
Are you officially authorized to bestow the title “Shri”?
If so - may I have that entered in my travel documents to better facilitate smooth movement through Indian Customs in the future?
My last experience was hair raising — when an EMPTY .45cal pistol magazine was found in one of the zipped edge pockets of my checked bag... Inadvertently left there from a previous auto trip in the U.S. - and not discovered by my wife when she packed my bag for the trip to India/China/Japan.
Big Mistake!
If true, what an incredibly boneheaded move by Pakistan. What could they possibly hope to accomplish with such an action? Pure idiocy.
They brought gangbanger driveby crapola to a geopolitical nuke fight.
Pakistan does not have a chance against Indian conventional forces - their only hope to stop a total rout is to go nuclear - and of course, then the gloves would really be off.
I was talking about direct effects of the nuclear blasts ONLY when I said no effects would be felt here.
OK
in that case I agree with you
Like I said two weeks ago, Pakistan is a GINO (government in name only)
And we’re giving them F-16s and lots of other US military hardware. That’s just great.
AGREED.
Of course the attack is an act of war. India could and I believe should retaliate somehow.
The Pakistanies who planned this attack must have figured that they’d benefit by it. Either by cementing support of the govenment by their Muslim population, or by the population in general. So it behoves India to strick back to prove that the people who planned the mission were incorrect.
India’s attack should not be nuclear, but it should be significant. I might remove Pakistan’s capital building.
Of course the fact is, and the underlying problem has been for half a century; that India was given it’s independence from Great Britain....do of course to Gandi. Gandi was wrong. India was a happier, healthier and more unified place before it became independent. Fact is, they really aren’t capable of self rule.
I believe they DID the bombing of the Indian embassy in Afghanistan, too.
Are you serious? If Britain had tried to hold on to India, there would have been an ugly, French-style decolonisation that would have made Algeria look like a playground skirmish.
As to your other point, it would have been better if India had been split into it’s constiuent nation-states. India is basically like Europe, it should be a continent, not a single country....
How many coups has the army in Pakistan already had?
Should we solve the global warming “crisis” and Islamoterror fascist with a few modern day Hiroshimas? Assuming Israel / Iran and Pakistan / India don’t do so for us ...
>>an EMPTY .45cal pistol magazine
Ha, the most I ever did was pack an extra bottle of very fine booze in my suitcase (opened)volunteering that info and offering to pay duty, which they said no to, since it was for an uncle’s major anniversary - but not telling them about a couple of bottles of wine in my handbag (not opened)that I had spirited away as well. This however was when I was landing there.
Sounds like you left CONUS with that thing inside your bag.
>>officially authorized
Absolutely, indubitably arrirmative, no reason I have to check with Deepak Chopra.
Indeed I did - through San Francisco - where the "men" in security were more interested in the bulge in my crotch than the one in bag.....
Yes.
And I have a few targets in mind right now...
Iran, Syria... I’m looking in YOUR directions...
;^)
>>Fact is, they really aren’t capable of self rule.
Yup, the British still say that about the colonies.
Problem with your statement is that Gandhi(correct spelling) was adamantly opposed to the creation of Pakistan, but the British were all FOR it.
Hence, the Indians took what they could get.
