2003 Iraq WMD War starts to sweat
Yeah, that was entirely the intent of ushering in a think tank's neoconservative military agenda. The Project for a New American Century (PNAC) had a list of signatories that included Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Jeb Bush, Gingrich, and Cheney; all determined to bring the United States into the 21st century prepared to fight micro-wars on several fronts.
Their manifesto (authored a few years prior to 9/11) referred to the fact they'd need "a Pearl Harbor type event" to usher in these changes to military organization and deployment to move away from "cold war thinking."
The attack in NYC gained them political favor to implement these changes, go after Iraq, Iran, and North Korea (hence the Axis of Evil), and let the events of Iraq Part II unfold. It was sickening watching it unfold, and people ate that WMD shit up like it they were hooked on meth.
Point taken. Though I doubt this will end in any kind of war.
screamiing idiots in India's mainstream news debate shows are demanding for India to nuke Canada.
Canada is part of NATO, so article 5 is automatic. Plus, looking at a map, the US would not appreciate radioactivity crossing its borders.
Russian media wants to nuke the US. India media wants to nuke Canada. I'm sure if we took them seriously they wouldn't like it.
The screaming, threats, and invective against Canada is being done to whip up hysterical support for Modi & his political party for the upcoming nationwide elections. Modi's policies & corruption have so wrecked India's economy, that he's desperate. And a desperate dictator with violent religious extremeists at his beck & call who alsso fear the secular and progressive opposition will say & do anything to gather public support.
No Indian will be surprised if they try to burn or bomb Canada's embassy and try to spin that to look like victims.
So what you are saying is shutting down the Canadian embassy is the next logical step. Of course that means that India will close its embassy. We shall see.
No. I'm saying Canada should understand they're dealing with a desperate man who has never hesitated to use violence and
act accordingly. Please be safe, the majority of Indians do not want harm to come to you., Also, there are lots of Hindu supremacists in Canada who nurse fantasies of violence. Please keep a close watch on them. Because they're ticking time-bombs primed on religious extremeism and stories of barbarism.

This is why genocidal megalomaniacs should never be supported by any democratic nation.
I'm sure the RCMP and their friends to the south are up to speed on this.
