Why should we Invade our own people to begin with ??? They may be a sovereign country. But we are the same people in the IOR. And all we wanted them to have is to be an independent democracy. And the people of the atolls have made sure to to evict the externally backed crooks and frauds through their power of vote. What more do we want ??
The same is repeating in Sri Lanka. No one can rule/influence any nation undermining the aspirations of it's people in this 21st century. Just wait and see.
Chill don't get so agitated bhai. I am just saying, wasn't India threatening to invade? Since when are Maldivians your people? Are Pakistanis your people too I wonder?
Hey it's an open democracy, they can vote whoever they want, it can be anti or pro Chinese, the rule is clear, you don't threaten to invade someone when they have different strategic goals compared to yours. We can't control Lanka man, they are free and independent, they will vote, if they think we are not good enough, then we improve our deals. Just business bhai, no hard feelings. You want people to like you then stop supporting LTTE and causing so much pain. Without China, you think you LTTE card could've been destroyed. We gave Lanka freedom, NOT YOU.
Well Russia wouldn't have helped, but U.S.S.R certainly did. Where do you thing the
CCP got the support and firepower to overthrew the Kuomintang government in 1949 ???
From there began the process of Chinese nation building with the help of U.S.S.R, until ultimately you showed your true color to them and you split with them between 1956–1966. And Richard Nixon found space in that and there started Chinese relation with U.S.A in 1972.
If Deng were alive today he would have differed with your views because he know better than anyone how the U.S.A initially helped shape the China which is today. But the stupid Yankees expected to use China as a Hedge against U.S.S.A. Ironically they are paying for their earlier stupidity now.
Now you can claim whatever you want, but is it is not just your hard work alone. If not for the west especially U.S.A you would have been the same Republic that you once used to be before 1970's. LOL
Bro we had a WAR with Russia? REMEMBER? That was because we didn't like to be dictated by others unlike docile India. =). US helped us? It was a strategic deal, we help them create an Eastern front against the Soviets and they gave us market access. WIN WIN pal, no free lunches in this world, you think people gonna help you for free. Aafter the Soviets went kaboom, they tried to stabbed us with Tian'men.
Stupid or not, it was a fair deal, we had to work hard to gain market share, we had to work hard to absorb technlogies, we don't like to talk so much like Indians, we actually do it
. If you would've spent more time doing than talking, things might have been different bhai. And yes, you still haven't solve the fundamental social reform, casteism, land distribution and equality, etc. How poor a chini gets, he still has a piece of land in his village, he won't starve, not so sure about your dalit farmers tho.
