Italy will not release the 18 arrested indian sailors

[A.P. Richelieu]

In a hypothetical scenario, say India or any non-USSR bloc country attacks any NATO member like Italy, does NATO charter allow it to militarily intervene?

Of course, NATO does not discriminate depending on attacker.
The idea of sending an Indian Aircraft Carrier to the Mediterranean,
creates an association in my mind to the 1905 Russia-Japanese War and Tsushima.

Sir,

You have over-estimated your importance for a long time---an impotent Italy brings nothing to the table for Nato---.

This century belongs to HINDUSTAN----its only problem is that it is carrying a chain attached to its ankle---Pakistan---and its bad habbit of trying to confront china and neighbors over the problems of other small countries on the behalf of united states.

India has been tricked by the u s to act as its policeman in south asia---and right now---as the Indians are feeling important with their new found position, status, strength and support---they are more into militaric confrontations rather than peaceful resolutions---.

But regardless of that---Italy has no importance when it comes down to India----.[/QUOTE

This post is so funny.
PM of India should gift you few atmi dhamakay for this post

You are factually wrong here. India did attack a NATO member. NATO refused to intervene. Plus, who is saying India will/should send AC to Italian shore? that would be

4 April 1949 - Portugal joining date... war happened 1961... So a country needs to ask help from NATO.. that would be a huge loophole...

Yes that is true unless a country ask help will not come and asking would be huge ego hit for most member countries.

Marines should be hanged!

 

[Screambowl]

you cannot swap killers for smugglers.

Well I doubt how the hell 20 ton of marijuana was board the ship? What were they doing?

 

[SrNair]

If they did the drug trafficking they should face the court.
But I dont think our court will influenced by our govt.

 

[JohnyD]

fake news! no credible source and sounds unrealistic!.

 

[Tshering22]

Drug dealing is a serious offense globally and if found guilty, please punish them as you see right. There has been a crime and these people have cases. Let the court proceed and IF found guilty, go ahead.

However, The marines have to be returned to India. Simply because they are equally guilty as per court proceedings. Otherwise it will result in needless diplomatic complications.

 

[Developereo]

Prosecute & imprison them, if they are found to be drug trafficking. Let them stay where they are.. don't send 'em back on a swap deal with those who are charged with murder!

Ironic, given your name...

I wonder how long it would take for ten people to smoke 20 tons of weed.

Some people are real weed fiends, they can have absurdly high tolerance, and can smoke the stuff 24/7 without impeding their regular activities.

I have very low tolerance when it comes to THC, don't need much.

Convert them by force!

Hi,

I think that it is bout time that india sends its aircraft carrier and submarine forces to visit the international waters of Italy----.

And why would we do that? to protect criminals like the ones caught doing international drug smuggling?

No sir. Punish them.

 

[Koovie]

I think India has signed a deal of prisoner swap with Italy? correct me if I am wrong here. Those marines case has been dragged for far too long now. If our courts could dispense with the judgement quickly I would have loved to see the case going through the end.

Prisoner swap`???

If those sailors were doing illegal activities they do not deserve anything better.

And if the Italian marines shot innocent people they do not deserve anything better either.

Period.

And the courts will decide whether they are guilty or not and NOT the government.
