India assasinating a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an example of India being strong?

[–] zephyreks@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

India assassinating a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is a byproduct of knowing that Canada has burned all of its geopolitical relevance and that the US won't come to Canada's aid.

Canada had built up a ton of goodwill in the past, but a good chunk of that was burned up aligning with the US in increasingly inane military operations.

Its not India burning off the goodwill it has built over the years and turning into a terrorist state like Russia?

What goodwill has India built up? They don't need goodwill because the US won't do shit against India so long as China exists.

I can't describe how absolutely idiotic your comment makes you look.

Indian diplomats, ambassadors, Prime Ministers, Presidents, politicians, workers (both blue & white collar), some corporates have worked hard for 75+ years to create goodwill for India abroad. This goodwill earns India opportunities for import-export business, FDI, employment, study scholarships, diplomatic support, emergency support (remember the medical equipment & oxygen supplies foreign countries sent over during covid?), emergency food imports, co-operation in finding escaped criminals, tourism including medical tourism.

If you think India can wreck hell around the world and assassinate whoever it wants to because US needs it against China, then you are mistaken. India'll end up marked as a terrorist nation and will be sanctioned.

What is the US changing with regards to its policies on India?

There's a very big IF. It's an allegation of potential links. India neither has a policy nor a history of assassinating plumbers. There are real terrorists involved in India's 9/11 holding speeches in Pakistan every Friday. If they weren't assassinated, I doubt a Canadian plumber would be.

It's been a few months since that guy was killed and still no evidence, no charges, no suspects. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

He was assassinated for being a plumber?

[–] sharma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

That's what the leaks from Canada suggest. Although there had been some disinformation that he was a terrorist, there is visual evidence that he was a plumber.
