Did Canada punish Russia for 2008 Georgia invasion by moving satellite?

[Obambam]

I don't think you know how business works, this was a commercial contract that was awarded to ISRO by Canada how is that taking advantage? this is business

Awarded to? and India took it knowing that it will upset Russia because it was blatant response to the Georgian conflict? So it must be okay for the Russians to "award" military contracts to Pakistan knowing that it will upset India then? That sure was a nice way to repay a close friend. India indeed took advantage of the situation to gain the upper hand over Russia.

The contract was awarded to ISRO, satellite launching is big business and there is competition to win orders. You proved you have no idea on how business works it was a deal between Canada and India nothing to do with taking advantage but in getting $$ is what it boils down to.

Bad comparison.

you are the Judge ? we need affiliation from you ?

China buys Basmati rice from Pakistan but India does not pay Russia for launching satellites.

It is not about buying something. You are exporting more rice in market, If you will stop your sell pakistan may get more market. It is about giving your own market to ally. For bold part i can only laugh. why should India pay anything to Russia when it do business with anyone.

It was also the Russians who gave India such technology in the first place,

I Agree that Russia did technological help to India. Similar was the case of China. But At least we don't make illegal copies of thr fighter jets and call J 11, 15, xx or something.

just to hear Indian members behaving like this is enough to make them weep in sorrow.

Who told this to you, No Indian member behaving or even want Russia to weep in sorrow. May be it is chinese dream of you .

I thought India was supposed to be the most trusted friends? Now they are willing to do business with others even though it may hurt the relationship.

So whats wrong in this? India should not do business? If it is like this why are you manufacturing (copying) Russian fighter jets and trying to sell here and thr? Arn't you supposed to be a trusted partner too?


Do you even think before you post?

The cable, dated Oct. 6, 2008, classified as secret but posted on the website Wikileaks, was written under the headline: "Canada considering space launch alternatives due to Russia's invasion of Georgia."

Russian tanks had rolled across the border into Georgia in August 2008 to aid separatists in the breakaway region of South Ossetia. Fergusson says there were concerns in the West and among the NATO allies about the conflict.

"This was an attempt to signal displeasure over Russian actions and, given the economic situation, this is money for the Russian space industry," he said in an interview.

and you my friend, have proven that you have failed reading the article and failed to comprehend and blindly supported deals that harms your close friend Russia given their struggling economy.

you are the Judge ? we need affiliation from you ?

Don't try and sway away from the issue. The issue was India will gladly accept contracts with little hesitation despite it being a political move and knowing that it will hurt its friend

It is not about buying something. You are exporting more rice in market, If you will stop your sell pakistan may get more market. It is about giving your own market to ally. For bold part i can only laugh. why should India pay anything to Russia when it do business with anyone.

Nope if China stops selling rice, then it would result in shortages various types of rice and global prices for rice would also increase. Basmati rice can only be described as a niche product at best and is miles apart in comparison to rocket launches.
One can only laugh at your stupidity in coming up with such a feeble example.

I Agree that Russia did technological help to India. Similar was the case of China.

Don't need you to agree neither do I care if you don't. It is a well known fact regardless.

But At least we don't make illegal copies of thr fighter jets and call J 11, 15, xx or something.

Talk about being successful Steve Jobs way. More specifically, India does not have the skills and technology needed to incorporate and produce improved military technology. You can stop being jealous already, India is the biggest importer of military equipments for a reason

Who told this to you, No Indian member behaving or even want Russia to weep in sorrow. May be it is chinese dream of you.

It's all for people to see, why must I dream? I don't waste time dreaming things like you Indians do. We as a culture likes to plan ahead and utilize our time wisely, not wasting time dreaming about other's demise or spend countless hours hunting for every little negative bits of news articles and sensationalizing it on forums

So whats wrong in this? India should not do business?

India can do business however they like, that's not my problem. I was merely pointing out the fact that India would take advantage of so called "awarded contracts" given the fact that they were politically motivated to hurt your close friend Russia.
Surely that is a form of betrayal. What made it worse are people like yourselves trying to defend and justify such a traitorous act

If it is like this why are you manufacturing (copying) Russian fighter jets and trying to sell here and thr? Arn't you supposed to be a trusted partner too?

We Chinese never considered Russia to be our best friends to begin with, we are still buying technologies from Russia albeit on much reduced levels but most importantly, we have managed to fuse our ideas with the west as well as Russia into new fusion products. Not just importing and slapping on the usual paint job and label the Indian way. India can do so by all means if they could, it would save them a wad load of cash.

Do you even think before you post?

Yes, the question should be. DO YOU?

china is not copying and the proof is JF17 FC-1.while india is feeling proud of assembling the jets in india let alone manufacture.what about carrier buster and sattilite buster missiles did china copy that from US?or Russia?if it looks like a duck and quakes like a duck then its a duck.get the facts right.we cant believe russia as they say china wanted to steal tech for s300 sams while china already got equalant to s400 sams and may be s500 as well so india should concentrate on procurement of mmrca and artillary and never try to attempt even to as all of indian military programs are faliures like tejas brahmos arjun and missiles including nuclear program as india asked for help from USA in Nuke program and gave up its independece which it never had to become a colony and proxy state of US to try to counter china but india is dreaming or best thing to call it INDIAN DREAM

Don't talk nonsense the worlds first operational tank was not German, it was the British Mark I. And the first submarine was built by a Dutchman not a German. The principles of liquid hydrogen and oxygen rockets was proposed by a Russian and the first liquid fueled rocket was made by an American.



And on topic, how dare Russia retaliate against Georgia! Russia should have done nothing to Georgia after Georgia attacked Russian troops in Southern Ossetia. But of course it’s perfectly fine for Canada to deploy troops in Afghanistan.

Yes India will accept. and Russians understand it is business why will they be hurt? Do we get hurt when they sell things to china? Everyone have to do thr business.

Why are you whining about it?

Nope if China stops selling rice, then it would result in shortages various types of rice and global prices for rice would also increase. Basmati rice can only be described as a niche product at best and is miles apart in comparison to rocket launches.
One can only laugh at your stupidity in coming up with such a feeble example.

I also laugh on your stupidity who is comparing two products and unable to understand it is about giving up one's own market.

I cannot give you better examples because your friend don't even make bicycle. I can't talk about Rockets about 'em .

Don't need you to agree neither do I care if you don't. It is a well known fact regardless.

Talk about being successful Steve Jobs way. More specifically, India does not have the skills and technology needed to incorporate and produce improved military technology. You can stop being jealous already, India is the biggest importer of military equipments for a reason

Just a few years ago China was biggest importer. Now we are undergoing modernization of armed forces.

Keep copying Mr. Artist nor do i care whatever you call it. World say it is ( Ctrl+c , Ctrl + v )

It's all for people to see, why must I dream? I don't waste time dreaming things like you Indians do.

You are doing exectly what you are claiming not to do . WHy don't u move ahead and save you priceless time.

India can do business however they like, that's not my problem. I was merely pointing out the fact that India would take advantage of so called "awarded contracts" given the fact that they were politically motivated to hurt your close friend Russia.

Betrayal . If canadians are not going for a launch with Russians, so do you think if India will not launch thr satellite they will be forced to go back to russians?

India and Russia are not only 2 players of market. IF India will say NO most probably it will go to 3rd country who will love to do it with pleasure.

We Indians should be very thankful to Canada. With their help(unintentionally though) we created our first nuclear device for testing in 1974.

Well, of course.. I was just trying to divert the thread from turning out to be an India-China pissing contest.
