I understand that people are irritated with our babus, I may also be irritated, but put yourself in their shoes for a moment they are caught in the middle of our people and our politicians...Inaction is an art with our babus which in this case maybe the right strategy
Let the desert cults sort it out while we focus on our cricket world cup
I'm more optimistic than you. I agree with you if the Palestine/Israel conflict transforms in a global war India's situation on the global stage will become undeniably more difficult to navigate through. If it happens, and GoI remains faithful to the constants of our diplomacy since 1947 (DFI members will shit on Modi but who cares) that is we have values and we defend values
I believe that the country will continue it's progress both internally and globally. No, I'm not a peacenick nor GoI.
They can’t go after Iran. It would be stretching their forces too thin. No way Israel can go after Iran while fighting in Gaza and the north. The US cannot go after Iran when you have the Ukraine conflict and the Taiwan conflict. They can only bomb Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and destroy Iranian naval fleets and go home. That’s it. But it does mean raising the ante. Iran will be super pissed off and more liable to start something that the US doesn’t want to be dragged in.Tough question, really. I dont know where India is going, but I'm very proud of GoI up to now in the way they manage critical and complex situation. But situation will become very complex for GoI if Westoids go after Iran, that's for sure. When you are in doubt, "trust your Babus"they are talented to deal with complex situation
There is a way of going after Iran, it will require the old Doggie of the US to cooperate.
It's not about the Israel conflict. Even if nothing was happening there, we are in the same position, where we have to balance between these two camps during this crucial growth phase, and neither of those camps are particularly pro India. Our bilateral approach is the best one. Rather than dealing with camps, we narrow down on bilateral deals with countries like France, Japan, UAE and Russia for specific goals.I'm more optimistic than you.

Anyway, things have not yet been decided firmly with regard to Iran.
Jaishankar gives a hint in which side we will flip if drastic changes happen in his discussion at Hudson Institute.
Not with the economy being on the edge of a coin that could collapse like a house of cards. US is the most heavily debted nation in the world and if they attack Iran gas prices are gonna shoot up through the roof and inflation will run rampant. It will massively hurt US economy and ruin US’s chances of economic recovery.
It does make you wonder though, will Israel go after Iran on their own? They're capable of doing so.
Of course, goat fuckers are suicidal but not in mass level. No way that they launched such an operation trusting the help of their Allah ;-)
Can't see it in the news, only a report saying that the Israeli cabinet may consider such a move.
I agree with that and that seems to be the GoI's plan ;-) I'll just add that Russia will remain a privileged and trusted partner.
One should always assume the worst when dealing with the West, they're so intoxicated by their own complacency and power.
Russia's own experience with pandering to Islamists has ended very badly during the 90s.
Suicide= killing yourself only
USA unfortunately doesn't have the ability to get out of any conflict with Iran with out taking damage. It's based will take hits, any evacuation are first signs but if that's not there then no they won't attack. They simply have no war readiness to undertake another front with a somewhat decent military powerTaiwan is a foregone conclusion at this point. That's why the US government forced TSMC to set up fabrication plants in Texas at such short notice.
They know that the island is at the mercy of the CCP and that the US Navy cannot do much to rescue it. Taiwan lacks the massive strategic depth that Ukraine has, along with the latter's advantage of bordering other NATO countries. Taipei is an island that is completely surrounded by the PLAN and the CCP can mobilize much faster than the US Navy can. They showed their reach when Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan by circling the entire island in live fire drills.
Ukraine is a forgotten war. There will be some token European support to them in the coming months and then that too will be closed. Putin will walk into Ukraine, take everything east of the Dnipr River, and reduce Ukraine to the Kiev and other western parts that border Poland, Hungary and Romania.
The way the American deep state treats Israel, If things go out of hand, the USN will get involved in Iran big time.
Iran does not have the resources to start a war with the US. It can fight a sustained defensive war, using a mix of its massive missile arsenal as well as its terrain, somewhat like what Vietnam did. Iranian tactic would rely more on provoking the US to draw US forces into Iran, rather than going out there to get American forces. They will simply be gunned down really, really badly.
NATO is the US and the US is NATO. There is no concept of "NO" in the alliance. If one goes in, all go in. That's how it is. If you think that countries like the UK, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc. have any say in whether or not to participate in a war, then you are sorely mistaken.
The only ones with the gall to say "Va te faire foutre" to the Americans are the French. Given that Paris has another thing going in its African sphere of influence, they might as well flip the bird on the Americans.
If Iranians get involved against Israel at this stage, you can bet your bottom that the US will get involved. They might use standoff weapons to destroy Iranian support, but they will definitely get involved.
Nah we won't. Not unless the PLA does something terribly foolish in its attempts to flex itself in the meanwhile.
only an air raid and they will take casualties. Iran will respond massively with missiles. No ground raid or invasion.
As much as I can search , No western media has reported on this news. Local 2 penny Arab media have posted this. And bakachodava woman is hyping it up.
The mask is fully off much of the left and their Islamist bedfellows now
