India 'emerging superpower'-Australian PM

I don't think even they do. Business is one thing, political opinions are another.

Political opinions are formulated to support business progration. After all, it is the business that ultimately funds politicians!!

 

[nik22]

Yeah, when has anyone cared what Australia thought?

No offense. That is more suitable to Canada. Australia has some strategic role to play.

Not in this case. I hate to admit it, but look at Canada. Right now, my nation is the biggest supplier of oil [and lumber] to the US, but let's be honest, no one in the US cares about what Canada thinks about politically.

So what's the point, NPT has been relaxed for India anyways, and that has been done on purpose!! Both the acts of US/Australia are good for India and that's what we need to care about. Obviously US/Australia would have their own interests as well. The two nations can work together till the point both have conflicting interests and we have not reached their yet.

We can very well work together even after we reach a point where both have conflicting interests.

Don't the Chinese work with the US ? or doesn't China work with Japan ?

none taken, I'm well aware about Canada's standing. I would argue that Australia is only important as long as China remains the US's adversary, and even then I have my doubts that the anyone even cares.

it's too late to mess with NPT damage is done

NPT is meaningless.

Several countries have already acquired nuclear weapons outside of the NPT, and America even does nuclear deals with them.

Just like before the NPT, anyone who has the guts to build a nuke will probably get to keep it.

You are right, I stand corrected!!

Modi did not name China. If you feel the shoe fit then its your guilty complex. The same 18 century expansionist mindset could be true of Russia in Ukraine or Pakistan in kashmir.

Common sense suggest that it obviously a statement made after negotiating with Japan. It was a join press conference after all.

i never feel guilty what China do in SCS. Modi shall learn how to deal with China as PM, never repeat the historical blunder.

Yes, I was pointing about China. Yeah no one care about Australia. If they convert some uraniumn to nukes, probably they will get same status as UK, France. Does countries like UK, France have any significance in world? If there is some left, 10 years will make it nill

Not true. Iran tired but failed. They had to rescind the plans to build nukes. Its only nations who did not sign the NPT who could go ahead and build nukes, or nations who had support of NPT nations to build nukes. Israel and Pakistan being the case in point.

Well, there was hell lot of political opposition to export Uranium to India (for it being non-signatory of NPT). But now that political will has changed and political opinion are more favorable towards India, and I guess business has a role to play in it.

I don't know but I think we both are talking about two different things. what do you say?

NPT is just a way super powers use to refrain others challeging their mighty.

Your statements are self contradictory.

If you do not have a guilt complex why did you assume Modi referred to China when he spoke about 18th century expansionist mindset. No pakistani or Russian felt Modi was talking about them.

Both India and China need to learn how not to repeat historical blunders.

Iran backed down, they made a deal with the USA. North Korea didn't.

If Iran had managed to acquire nukes, I don't think America would have the stomach to go in and take their nukes out. They are already war weary, and won't risk the chance of a "donated" device going off in downtown Manhattan.

China is a super power too!!
