IRAN/RUSSIA/CHINA and the Coming World War

The real interesting country to watch right now is india. They are sitting on the fence watching both sides. They have a large enough military to have an impact on ww3. We treat them like shit but they hate the chinese. (Ongoing border dispute among other things) They might want to continue to remain neutral but not sure if the world will let that happen. They have a mutual dislike for the Pakis as well. So that might drag them into this mess.

 

Are Indian politicians for sale?

(angry reply) Oh hell NO!

Are they for rent?
Most assuredly.

Why do I say that?
Early Lessons from India’s Demonetization Experiment | Brookings
"In November the government made a high-risk, high-stakes economic intervention in the world’s largest democracy, with an objective to reduce corruption. Overnight, 86% of cash in circulation was voided. In a country almost 90% cash reliant, chaos ensued. As I said at the time, it was a case study in poor policy and even poorer execution."

Not eliminate, mind you, but just to reduce corruption.....

 

The name of this Thread needs to be changed to, RUSSIA/CHINA and the Coming World War, because IRAN is down for the count! Half a century of screaming "Death to America" and "Death to Israel", 50 years of trying to destabilize America, Isreal, the region, and the world, five decades of working toward a nuclear bomb, and what do they have to show for it?! NOTHING!!!
Two years ago, Iran had dreams of a new Persian Empire, that stretched from Pakistan to the Mediterranean Sea, but the dream became a nightmare! The empire has splintered, and Iran doesn't even control its own airspace...or the ground beneath it!
Apparently, the Mullas in Iran were planning on Allah helping out MUCH more than he did. They should have remembered what Napolean said, "GOD is on the side with the most cannon"!

 

I really don't give a damn about Muslims or Jews beyond a general hope folks everywhere can get along.

But please God, no nation building. That's just State and DOD racket for milking taxpayers.

One trillion times more lucrative than funding gay belly dancers in Tibet.

 

Better a nutjob with an explosive vest than a nutjob with a nuke!
