Indian aid? LOL. Sri Lanka can do without the so called Indian aid packages.
If you could do without aid packages, your government wouldn't have been licking our feet for aid and promising for accepting defense deals in response.
Remember, HDI and per capita income of Ceylon is higher because their proportion of aid to population is larger. Otherwise, countries who aid you have no substantial loss in aiding you .
India is one of them. :biggrin2:
Indian government has no balls to send Sukhois to Sri Lanka. Don't visualize cat as a lion. When India actually sent Sukhois to Sri Lanka, then we will talk.
Never, only SLidiot will think that Ceylon is worthy of even wasting power. :biggrin2:
We don't need to Sukhois for you guys.
Sri Lanka don't need Indian aid. That's the main point.
It would fall in league of LDC countries if doesn't receive aid for few years.
Current gov. of Sri Lanka has screwed itself bad and they have no other lender to turn to. That' why they go for India. The new gov. won't be having that issue.
Actually, they aren't stupid like you to
To tie up with thousands of kilometres away a country China who is trying to get room in IOR and they have common sense for
tying up with and giant neighbor in their backyard who controls this region like a rail engine pulls the rest of train.
Moreover, Sri Lanka has accepted India aid before not because Sri Lanka really needed it but because India whined much about Chinese investments in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka tried to appease the two giants at the same time. It's all about strategy rather than money.
India aids dozens of other countries including neighbors, Africa, some in central Asia, Syria and Mongolia etc..
And so is China.
Why sticking to two giants when one can clear your path. And given geographic positions, India is better partner for Ceylon than China.
You want to end trade deficit with India with help of China. But you know this India has itself to suffer from deficit when it comes to trade with China. What they will do with you guys then?
Think over it. :biggrin2:
Your people should thank us because we are not shooting the trespasses. If we do that the fishing problem would be end within days.
Ya ya, thank you for not backstabbing like Pakistan, Myanmar and Nepal.
And also more thanks for creating trouble in our South block.
