    1971 Indo-Pak War and foreign involvement

    That's the way it was, and it has been admitted by the US Congress then. It was Nixon, who decided to do whatever he felt like, but then, don't many US Presidents go around invading countries without the Congress' approval? It has been like that for decades now. It's about time Americans...

    1971 Indo-Pak War and foreign involvement

    Great post. Here are the details: In total, there were 10 ships. 3-4 ships, JayATL? You should be ashamed to be so ignorant yet so loud.

    World War 3? If your comments are not related to what I have written, then please don't quote me. It's not even funny.

    1971 Indo-Pak War and foreign involvement

    Read my post again. The USSR threatened to nuke PRC if they invaded India. How many of the recent US invasions had authorisation of the Congress? I am cracking you up, am I not? I am dead serious. Perhaps you are on crack, that's why you are cracking up.

    1971 Indo-Pak War and foreign involvement

    Band camp only? So you didn't make it to a military camp, did you? Your loud and verbose comments confirm that. How about you sound like another deluded Zaid Hamid? The Soviets actually fought a war with PRC, but then, you probably don't know that. Yes Sir, they had already chalked out...

    1971 Indo-Pak War and foreign involvement

    JayATL, I don't think you know much about what happened then, or are embarrassed to admit it, by virtue of the country of your adoption. Don't confuse your obligation to be patriotic with your obligation to speak the truth. When we mention US, we are not pointing fingers at the people of US. It...

    1971 Indo-Pak War and foreign involvement

    Not only that, (1) the US threatened to attack India if India supported Mukti Bahini and (2) prodded PRC to invade India. However, Pakistan was already a friend of PRC. Thankfully, USSR told PRC that they will nuke PRC if PRC invaded India and sent it's own vessels that made the US 7th Fleet...

    1971 Indo-Pak War and foreign involvement

    Drive by? LOL. Don't confuse Russia with the USSR. The US was scared away by the USSR. Pakistan has always been supported by PRC, including, in 1971-72.

    1971 Indo-Pak War and foreign involvement

    AsianObserve, you are mistaken. The reason is here: And, in addition to that: Pakistan had direct land access to Afghanistan, while India did not have that de facto. The US was following the Truman Doctrine. The Soviet Union was involved in Afghanistan for decades. There is no way the US...

    1971 Indo-Pak War and foreign involvement

    How about BWITCH? The US has had the misfortune of having quite a few bad Presidents. Apropos 1971-72, did Nixon secure a declaration of war from the US Congress? No. So what the hell was the US 7th fleet doing close to India ("The bomber force aboard the Enterprise had the US President's...

    1971 Indo-Pak War and foreign involvement

    Even I think a lot of this conversation is reconstructed. The primary points are not false, such as Indira Gandhi being called a 'b!tch' or Indians keeping their areas of operation press-sanitised. However, the conversation probably is made up from bits of facts. So this article is a fiction...
