I am glad that the rest of the world is finally finding out just how insane Indian politics is. There's a lot of fearmongering, grandstanding, and really stupid political stances going on in India, along with rampant human rights abuses.
You think Republicans in the US are insane? They've got nothing on what goes on in India.
Most Indians they have emigrated out of that shithole country will never talk about this kind of thing or any of the actual lawlessness, level of corruption, bigotry, and religious intense that happens in India.
I'm an Indian who's moved to the US and I'm pretty pissed off that the US openly welcomed Modi after the was banned for what he did in the riots in the early 2000s.
Hopefully the world gets to know the real India.
I am an Indian and I request you to ignore the trash talk these insignificant politicians do on a "live debate shows" to get views for news channels. These notorious news channels pays "politicians" to come to their show to fight, get insulted, speak gibberish and anything that can be done to increase viewership.
Update: The person asking to nuke is a random dude, not a politician.
I am Canadian, and thank you for pointing this out. What a fucking mess, eh?
Hope you're doing well, and all this gets figured out soon.
Nuclear Gandhi has entered the chat…
We're just living in a game of civ
I hope not one of mine, I am terrible at it.
Quick question: What the fuck dude?
Nationalism is a hell of a drug
Yeah, I always figured Canada would be the last to fall in nuclear holocaust because they're, you know, Canada. Yet here we are.
That's the thing about nuclear holocausts: Everybody falls in a nuclear holocaust.
Why though? Why Canada?
India has its hands full already with China, and there's no ally to be found across their border with Pakistan either.
So what gives? Why go pick on Canada, just because a guy there wanted to entertain the thought of a sikh state free from India?
Because Canada had the balls to say “yo why the fuck you killing someone in Canada?”
The absolute gall.
Possibly even a second guy, depending on what exactly happened to the guy in Winnipeg. Makes me wonder if just more and more of the separatist advocates are going to die in mysterious circumstances and India will keep boasting about it and threatening anyone who calls Modi out on it.
Because Modi solidifies domestic power by labeling any Sikh protestor as khalistanist (i.e. terrorist). Any whiff of separatism is a threat to his power. Canada just got in the way
India and China both understand that they aren't each other's greatest military rivals solely because the Himalayas make any large military action impossible. They also understand that they aren't each other's greatest economic rivals because their states of development complement each other.
Jesus christ how unhinged do you have to be to go on live television just fucking say that out loud? Actual loonies running the country there.
Decades of elections and "leadership" across most countries means lots of places have lots of people who think they know what they're doing, but really don't. So they think being in power means threatening use of power.
What would happen if a non aligned country nukes NATO? I know India is aligning themselves with Russia or atleast the news is presenting it that way but. Would all nuclear armed countries nuke India? Would it cause Russia to Nuke the USA and vice versa or would everyone nuke India or only a back and forth between NATO and India?
I don't believe there would be retaliatory nukes as that would just lead to further retaliation. India would quickly get cut off from international trade and financial systems and become a total pariah. Their only friends would be the other pariah states like ruzzia.
Now if the US got nuked there would definitely be military retaliation.
No, it would be much, much worse than that. Nuking a country is a declaration of war and an unprecedented violation of the post-WW2 norms that have prevented global nuclear armageddon. If the nuked country is in NATO, then NATO will absolutely go to war. That's the whole point of NATO. NATO would probably not start with nuclear retaliation, but India would get invaded and/or be forced to capitulate. It would be like Japan after WW2. India would be forced to give up its nukes. Modi and other leaders would be tried as war criminals. Significant adjustments to the Indian constitution would be made. Permanent NATO bases would be established in India. Within a couple of years, India would be allowed to hold elections and self-govern again as a non-nuclear NATO ally, which would both protect it from Pakistan or China and make it entirely dependent on NATO for that protection.
I'm surprised the other person is downplaying the consequences of a nuclear strike. If they actually followed through with this then India would be glass in thirty minutes
"How dare you accuse us of murder? If you keep this up, we'll show you our peaceful ways by force!"
Can we fucking not? India. Dafuq.
Further proving the authoritarian Indian government are very similar to the Kremlin regime
Nothing says "we didn't do it" like threatening to nuke one of the most peaceful countries in the world.
After all the worry about NATO and Russia starting WW3. It would be almost comical if it was India that did it.
Out of curiosity. What countries would back India's unprecedented surprise nuking of Canada? Or would they just be opening themselves up to being attacked by the entire planet at that point?
My favorite fact about Indian nuclear weapons is that the only way they got the tritium for the bombs from a Canadian-designed CANDU reactor. They were not supposed to generate too much tritium as a byproduct but eventually there was enough for the Indians to build the tamper for a Teller-Ulam nuke.
So hold up - does anyone have a better source? Who is this guy? What's his story? How much influence does he wield?
