The Government of India is firmly and resolutely committed to taking all necessary measures to fight the menace of terrorism. Hence this non-military preemptive action was specifically targeted at the JeM camp. The selection of the target was also conditioned by our desire to avoid civilian casualties. The facility is located in thick forest on a hilltop far away from any civilian presence. As the strike has taken place only a short while ago, we are awaiting further details.

I wonder if there's going to be political consequences for Modi after his people whipped their supporters up into a war frenzy, only to back down and lose face.

The media is totally behind Modi. If electoral shifts happen we'll find out after the vote. I don't even know if Congress or regional parties will make gains, but the skirmish this year right before an election certainly didn't help the BJP

quote:

BJP president Amit Shah on Saturday slammed meek response to terror from across the border during Congress-led UPA time, and remorsefully recalled beheading of soldier Hemraj over which the then prime minister Manmohan Singh did not say even "ohh!"

Many _______-Americans are from the comprador/landlord class in the old country. America's immigration/asylum policy post-1965 creates a never ending stream of native informants who then turn around and justify US foreign policy and intervention overseas.

modi is a huge loving pussy.

before the elections, this happened, because he didn't want to piss off his lumpen small business owner voter base i guess: https://www.pymnts.com/news/international/2018/modi-ecommerce-india-amazon/


which naturally pissed off the imperial center: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...s-idUSKCN1PI1S6

and now the elections are over and he's going to back down! wow! almost as if his nationalism is a complete sham and he's going to let the US colonize India: https://www.ft.com/content/7f7bf9f8-8524-11e9-97ea-05ac2431f453

Is there any good flowchart for responding to Hindutvas and people who go "but what about Ladakh/Jammu/etc." out there? Asking for a friend

I guess what I'm asking for is good summaries of the history/nuances of Kashmir. It's particularly hard since I don't even know what the consensus solution to the problem is (whereas Palestine has the ol' two-state vs. one-state thing)

Pakistan and India have agreed to multilateral negotiations involving j&k, with both agreeing to govern their respective regions under certain guidelines. India wants bilateral negotiations because of the power imbalance. That's extremely basic and I'm probably wrong on some nuance, there may not even have been a long term agreement
