Anger from whom?
From people who are fighting for Palestine cause not just in Palestine but worldwide all the protestors and all.
America bohat haram* hai.Leaked plans?
This is what happens when you discuss plans with your most important ally.
They leak them. Because they don't want any part of it.
They were haggling over target sets and an irreconcilable disagreement arose.
Upto this point I knew the Israelis had not said anything to the Americans.
You can be smart and say its a fake leak. I doubt it because this isn't the first time it has happened.
Analysis: US thwarting Israeli strike on Iran
Obama betraying Israel? US making deliberate effort to hinder Iran strike by leaking classified info, intelligence assessments, says Ron Ben-Yishai in special Ynet reportwww.ynetnews.com
Last time was under Obam.
What have those people achieved to date?
It is not what people have achieved. Israelis have to deal with more stronger resistance.
They can handle it
This is the open question. Whether motivated or the opposite.
Booby traps have done more damage than actual fighting these days.
True.
After a lot of self introspection I realised how naive us Indians are. We get too emotional after reading such news that USA did this, Canada did this etc. I think we are not qualified enough to talk about such diplomatic chess. I do get angry when I see India not fight back like China fights back. I just gave up on seeing our govt give really good diplomatic answers to USA or any western power.
Arms deals are not so simple as give money and gets arms.
Israel also supplies weapons to Azerbaijan and Azerbaijan has mainly voted a Abstain for any resolution against Israel in the UN general assembly. So yes selling arms does help.
Erdogan's Turkey is like Srilanka, Maldives , Bangladesh.
Helping a nation having almost one fifth of humanity achieve prosperity is creating a monster? This is an example of "negative nationalism". China may be many things but there is no denying the fact that without it the world's economy would not have made such progress that it made after China's rise. USA created many monsters (best known of which is Pakistan) but China is not one of them. It is just bad luck & fate that China is enemy with India else considering they are the oldest two civilizations in the history of humanity, they should be allies.
Helped millions to prosper?!...That kind of argument British rulers and their supporters still continue to use for giving us Railways..
British exploited India no doubt but their rule also has some significant positive points too not that it justify their rule & nowhere British claimed to "prosper India" as far as I know rather they claim to have "culturally improve" India during their rule.
That is common to every nation who amass great power, UK & USSR did it in the past & USA does this in the present but on a remote control level as there is no one to bully on their own continent (Canada is practically USA's brother).
Harsh truth but that is because of having "no choice". If India has same amount of power as USA & China then it too wouldn't be as "friendly" as it is now.
India , if ever becomes a super power(don't think I will see that in this birth) but just maybe by some miracle hogaya , we may become little more assertive but India will never be a straight out bully.
If world have to admit a country is powerful enough, that country at least have to show some passive aggression. China know this very well, hence their 'wolf diplomacy' in weaker countries which some in west were calling serious aggression. China haven't been running around and bombing countries, yet.
India was offered by Zhou Elai in 1962 to accept China's claim of Aksai Chin in exchange for Arunachal Pradesh.
These two sentences are what matters all about China. Whatever we say, they leaders did bulldozed forward into development.
Majority misunderstand the concept of "trade deficit" & for a good reason because it kinds of goes against the typical person's common sense. Trying to explain it in a very simple manner, why India buys from China & the answer is because it is much cheaper because of their internal policies which India doesn't have. Now how does India pay for Chinese imports & the answer is US Dollars which neither India nor China controls. Now imagine India stops buying anything from China & instead try to manufacture everything on their own but at a much costlier rate because it can't exactly duplicate the same Chinese policies because of being a democracy. Now again imagine Indian ppl willing to buy all that costlier products for national reliance but then even govt can't print unlimited money so the end result would be Indian economy still losing more than what it would have while buying from China the same stuff because of inflation/lost opportunity costs. Another often misunderstood concept is currency exchange rate which too goes against "common sense". Without going into details, Japan which is one of the world's most developed & advance economy prefer its currency to not be valued too high against US Dollar while India had the exchange rate of $1=Rs.1 around the time of its independence.
