Peak of green mentality, perhaps Maldive greens have not heard of Russian oligarchs, just ask them to view nomad shubams video, a good chunk of Maldivian tourist would be dual Russian Israeli passport holders.

Anyway good move let them boycott the Russians too.

Anyways they vote today.

Maldives votes in the shadow of India-China rivalry

Looks like GoI needs to step up its activities in Maldives and get rid of Mizzu one way or the other. Mizzue set to win.

Muizzu's win to increase India's anxiety on Chinese influence in the Indian Ocean region

Maldives’ geographical positioning near crucial sea lanes is important for China's energy supplies. China has been leveraging its economic muscle to court successive Maldivian administrations to consolidate its influence over the island nation

do you think that the elections were rigged by the Chinese or something? India needs to teach Maldives a lesson by seizing the airfields and preventing Chinese from establishing a foothold.

Muizzu will not antagonize moodiji beyond a point, he used green mentality for his benefit.

Money talks. China has got a lot of it.
Geopolitical stance of Muizzu should no longer matter, Maldivians deserve collective punishment. They brought this upon themselves. Days of velvet gloves are over, iron fist must come out.

 

[hurrians]

as far as India was concerned, the results indicated “ensured political stability” for another five years under the Muizzu government.



“India can work on bilateral strengths and weaknesses, one by one. Whatever major damage that Muizzu could inflict on India, rather on bilateral relations, he has already rushed through. It cannot get worse, prima facie, and can only hope to get better, slowly but surely,”

Maldives’ pro-China President Muizzu sweeps parliamentary polls, stumps rivals with ‘supermajority’

Preliminary results show Muizzu's ruling alliance bagged over 60 seats out of 93. Complete reversal of power in the Majlis will give Muizzu govt political stability for next 5 yrs.

Muizzu is no fool to antagonize india beyond a point.

It's good that at least a significant number of Indians had enough pride to cancel their holidays there, but the total stats show that the total number of tourists increased by 10% - effectively replaced by other nations. Painful to admit but Maldives has successfully advertised itself as a "paradise" holiday on social media similar to Barbados/Bahamas etc.

Alternate paradise island holiday are Mauritius and Seychelles - neighbouring islands and have big Hindu populations.

After all this, Indian babus increased their aid donation... What message this sends? You can insult India and still they will provide you eggs and milk. Could babus not apply carrot AND stick? Even if just for some months give cold shoulder or at least reduce aid not increase it.

As DingDong said, China pays the bigger bribes and is expanding it's influence. Bribing Muizzu is peanuts for them. What can Indian foerign policy do to counter? Will they open a chink naval base as have Bangladesh and Burma?

Time to turn Maldives into a shithole and no one wants to come there. Just cut off all food, fuel and water there. And if they try to allow China to build a base there India needs to step in and seize the territory before China can move in and prevent China from establishing any foothold there

.muizzu behaves the way he behaves not because of China, he knows gora sahib has his back.
.if the election was rigged it wud be gora sahib who wud be crying out loud first, democracy is his experiment in Maldives.
.more extreme views and actions will come when he tilts to China strategically. Just for asking for more Chinese investment or tourist is not one of them.
.the eligible voter count was around 2 lakh something out of population of 5 lakh. How long will it take for imposing moodijis autocratic rule there.
. geography india is closest to some of their islands , the next country is Srilanka, which too is dependent on India.
.I don't think muizzu is stupid enough like imran khan.
. since most of you have different opinion I will rest my argument, let us watch for next one year, then maybe I can correct my opinion if iam wrong.

Personally, I think it's not worth investing political capital in a country that will cease to exist in 50 years.
