NightOwlIndian politician threatens to nuke Canada on live show
Armen12Man you people really just hate Indian people don’t you lol
Relation?
chiisanaI fail to see how sharing a news article about someone (supposedly) voted into political office threatening to use nuclear weapon on another democratic sovereign nation implies “we” (whatever the heck that even mean) hate the people of the country.
Dude’s profile has -400 score, nothing smart or notable in there. Probably farming for hate
How is you constantly insulting an entire people me farming for hate when you’re the only ones who like to target people of color apparently
AlwaysNowNeverNotMeIf the democratically elected representative is simultaneously;
Democratically elected.
Representative.
Insulting.
Then India has actually insulted us by elevating this man to a level where we need to know he exists.
You may be experiencing persecutory delusion. I am not trying to be snarky, it seems reasonable to consider. All the best
Wait, what? Since when do profiles have scores? I don’t see a score anywhere when I look at your profile.
Different load-outs/UIs/What-ever-the-correct-term-is show different things.
old.lemmy.ca/u/[email protected] shows you have a fairly decent positive score
arguably, he succeeding
There’s sharing a news article and then there’s mass posting the same type of news to 40 different places that’s conveniently all is about the same thing.
I wasn’t born yesterday, I’m well aware racism against Indians is acceptable here just as it was on reddit
TalaraineI see this on all kinds of articles, every day.
I have to see any evidence that you weren’t in fact born yesterday.
m-p{3}Just the Indian politicians who condones extrajudicial killings in a foreign country.
Yeah. India needed to be called out on that. I’m wondering if there’s going to be heated altercations between Canadian Sikhs and Indians.
ConditionOverloadBro I’m Indian and I FUCKING hate that country. If you resort to whataboutisms as a defense of the horrible shit that happens there then you’re part of the problem.
My wife and her family are all from India and she always says she doesn’t want to talk politics. My first time arguing politics with her family, they all started aggressively shouting, with her uncle even shoving me a little as they raised points that made absolutely no sense and my counterpoints were met with thinly-veiled threats. Finally, I was told that I don’t know how anything works because I only knew what I heard on mainstream media, but they knew the truth because they “know these things.” The only things I learned that day were:
Second point should have been evident even before embarking on the argument
At that point in my life, I’d noticed a pattern, but had not yet realized I’d bumped up against a law.
Just the dumbfucks.
FartsWithAnAccentQuick question: What the fuck dude?
Nationalism is a hell of a drug
Yeah, I always figured Canada would be the last to fall in nuclear holocaust because they’re, you know, Canada. Yet here we are.
That’s the thing about nuclear holocausts: Everybody falls in a nuclear holocaust.
Right, but they would have been the last, because who gets mad at Canada, really?
Crazy ass nationalists.
Better become fast friends with Russia bro. I wonder how he thinks nuking a NATO member that shares its land mass with the United States is going to work out. I’m pretty sure they’ve mixed up their mouth and asshole.
The UK has a large Indian population seems weird to outwardly threaten one of their allies in such a way. Hell Canda has a large Indian population in and of themselves.
I am glad that the rest of the world is finally finding out just how insane Indian politics is. There's a lot of fearmongering, grandstanding, and really stupid political stances going on in India, along with rampant human rights abuses.
You think Republicans in the US are insane? They've got nothing on what goes on in India.
Most Indians they have emigrated out of that shithole country will never talk about this kind of thing or any of the actual lawlessness, level of corruption, bigotry, and religious intense that happens in India.
I’m an Indian who’s moved to the US and I’m pretty pissed off that the US openly welcomed Modi after the was banned for what he did in the riots in the early 2000s.
Hopefully the world gets to know the real India.
Let’s not give republicans stretch goals ok
Why though? Why Canada?
India has its hands full already with China, and there’s no ally to be found across their border with Pakistan either.
So what gives? Why go pick on Canada, just because a guy there wanted to entertain the thought of a sikh state free from India?
Possibly even a second guy, depending on what exactly happened to the guy in Winnipeg. Makes me wonder if just more and more of the separatist advocates are going to die in mysterious circumstances and India will keep boasting about it and threatening anyone who calls Modi out on it.
KairuByteBecause Canada had the balls to say “yo why the fuck you killing someone in Canada?”
The absolute gall.
Because Modi solidifies domestic power by labeling any Sikh protestor as khalistanist (i.e. terrorist. Any whiff of separatism is a threat to his power. Canada just got in the way
India and China both understand that they aren’t each other’s greatest military rivals solely because the Himalayas make any large military action impossible. They also understand that they aren’t each other’s greatest economic rivals because their states of development complement each other.
CA0311 [they/them]this article showed up on r/worldnews too. i wonder why they don’t get any more specific than “an indian politician”
What would happen if a non aligned country nukes NATO? I know India is aligning themselves with Russia or atleast the news is presenting it that way but. Would all nuclear armed countries nuke India? Would it cause Russia to Nuke the USA and vice versa or would everyone nuke India or only a back and forth between NATO and India?
I don’t believe there would be retaliatory nukes as that would just lead to further retaliation. India would quickly get cut off from international trade and financial systems and become a total pariah. Their only friends would be the other pariah states like ruzzia.
Now if the US got nuked there would definitely be military retaliation.
No, it would be much, much worse than that. Nuking a country is a declaration of war and an unprecedented violation of the post-WW2 norms that have prevented global nuclear armageddon. If the nuked country is in NATO, then NATO will absolutely go to war. That’s the whole point of NATO. NATO would probably not start with nuclear retaliation, but India would get invaded and/or be forced to capitulate. It would be like Japan after WW2. India would be forced to give up its nukes. Modi and other leaders would be tried as war criminals. Significant adjustments to the Indian constitution would be made. Permanent NATO bases would be established in India. Within a couple of years, India would be allowed to hold elections and self-govern again as a non-nuclear NATO ally, which would both protect it from Pakistan or China and make it entirely dependent on NATO for that protection.
I’m surprised the other person is downplaying the consequences of a nuclear strike. If they actually followed through with this then India would be glass in thirty minutes
I simply disagree. Canada has no nukes of our own so in order to “glass” India, one of the other nuclear powers would have to take that step which then opens them up for retaliation. I just don’t know if I trust the commitment of other NATO countries to commit that hard.
Think about it, if India nuked Canada because we accused them of assassination, they will definitely attempt to nuke anyone else that attempts to punish them for that. Now if you’re a NATO country other than Canada, are you willing to get yourself nuked as well? I just don’t know if anyone else would put themselves in that position.
The reality of the situation is that India would never do something so crazy so it’s pointless to speculate about what the response would be.
The US would retaliate before the nuke even landed in Canada. The Monroe doctrine is still in effect.
Lol the US will invade not because they are our ally, but because they believe they are the only ones that are allowed to attack Canada.
Nah - they’d retaliate (not necessarily nuclear) as they don’t like nukes in their part of the world.
This is assuming the subs could fire their nukes, that the rockets would go where intended and the nukes not being intercepted.
Recent events shows that there’s a difference between testing weapons in controlled environments and using them for real.

Great response. I think everything you said is essentially the promise that NATO makes, but as I said to another poster, if India is going to nuke Canada because we accused them of assassination, they will definitely nuke anyone that attacks them. Canada has no nukes of our own, so we couldn’t directly retaliate. Now if you’re the leader of another NATO country, are you going to risk getting nuked for the sake of NATO? I just don’t think anyone else would be willing to step up like that when the shit hits the fan. Think about it… are you willing to risk getting your country nuked for NATO? I just don’t know.
Ack that you just don’t know.
In answer to your question, yes. Other NATO countries will go to war if any NATO country is attacked.
Think about it… are you willing to stand by and embolden a country by doing nothing when they nuke another? Any country that would be willing to nuke another over being called out for involvement in assassination is one that needs to be neutralized immediately to remove that nuclear threat.
By your very logic, if they are willing to nuke over nothing, they’ll also do it to countries that sanction them. Just because you wouldn’t help your friends in a fight or if they got attacked doesn’t mean everyone is the same as you and just watch while it happens doing nothing. Think about it…

Good point, but the number of countries sanctioning India would definitely far exceed the number that would retaliate militarily against them. Non-NATO countries would join in on sanctions but would not join the fight.

I’m Canadian so I’ve been considering this from the viewpoint of the one who got attacked. I’m really having trouble believing my friends (other NATO countries) would put their necks out on the line and would be more cautious in the face of their own nuclear destruction.
When India launched their nukes, Pakistan would probably nuke India, fearing they were being targeted. Article 5 gets triggered and every NATO member is at war with India, which might involve nuking them, might not. Russia would probably launch their nukes in response to NATO countries firing their nukes at India because, again, they’d think they might be being targeted. If NATO didn’t launch nukes and just carries out a conventional attack on India, Russia probably doesn’t get involved militarily.
Nuclear Gandhi has entered the chat…
We’re just living in a game of civ
I hope not one of mine, I am terrible at it.
Wage_slaveNow, which nation has the Giant Death Robots?
I feel as if I may need to move.
xerazalCan we fucking not? India. Dafuq.
Lemmygradwontallowme [he/him, comrade/them]Honestly, I couldn’t agree more… even if I live in Canada.
I am an Indian and I request you to ignore the trash talk these insignificant politicians do on a “live debate shows” to get views for news channels. These notorious news channels pays “politicians” to come to their show to fight, get insulted, speak gibberish and anything that can be done to increase viewership.
i am not indian and i beg you to stop the cast system. stop supporting russia. grow up on the conflict with pakistan. any maybe even stop india it devs claiming to be able to develop proper software…it is always a framework wrapping a page or a template they copied at university. damn…indian devs drive me nuts
