Comment on AUKUS – Elementally Sensible by MV

No question of being left out! AUKUS is a ice-cold, hard-power deal. It rejuvenated the WWII alliance of USA, Britain & Australia; That alliance fought against both Hitler & Japan; this Aukus is simpler – it is purely aimed at China which also practices cold, hard power; Neither India nor Japan are such hard-power players despite Modi-Doval who are. Note AUKUS will force China to focus more on defending its own economic region, the coast line & that, in itself, will lower their appetite for far away from home adventures. … China getting control of ports on Arabian Sea is still far-fetched & got weaker due to AUKUS… Big gift for Modi/Doval/JaiShankar goals

Has the AUKUS deal left out India and Japan who are part of the QUAD? This is like kind of the Great Game being played again with a different set of actors. Britain was fearing that socialistic sympathetic Nehru may open up the warm water ports of Arabian Sea to Soviet Union hence split the Indian subcontinent with Na-Pakistan as their ally. But now the useful demon has turned up on its masters. With the exit of US from Afghanistan and OBOR China has got access to the ports of the Arabian Sea. US may need to take care of this front too.

I remember those days as an impressionable 14 year old (expat) my father used to mix with the wrestlers including another huge chap called Klondike Bill.

Did Dara Singh wear a mask, I recall one chap who wrestled wearing a mask

In reply to Ernest A. Kollitides, P.E.. I agree with your comments on the previous article. Let's add to that the fabricated in most parts financial crisis in Greece since its inception in 2012 that added a lot of burdens to Hellenes and the state of Greece. Still, Greeks have been resisting till our days to an unjust and unethical behavior of Ms. Merkel and her friend on crime, Mr. Erdogan, against their country.

I was looking at your website and noticed it appears the word “Harrassment” is spelled wrong. I had similar problems on my site until someone mentioned it to me and I also now use software from SpellPerfect.com to keep my site error free.

I’m pretty sure you misspelled the word “Harrassment” on your site. You might want to check out a site like SpellRadar.com or SiteCheck.com which have helped me with problems like this in the past.

In reply to Narayan Shankar. Every case you mention was a battle. The Balakot strike was not a battle. The IAF carefully avoided attacking any NaPak military targets. That strike sent a clear message to heads of NaPak wings that they will pay a price if they mount terrorist attacks. That was totally unprecedented and clearly they got the message.
