Come and get our uranium, Ambassador tells India

[GentlemanObserver]

then indian people wonder about why china and Pakistan having Nuclear Plant deals and why indians jumps around the world about it

You didn't get the point i was making... Never mind.

*sigh*

 

[Yeti]

Remember one thing the US wishes to sell nuclear reactors to India which will need masses amount of uranium of which only certain countries have stock of so in reality the US should be thanking India for ensuring supply so they can push ahead with sales of it's reactors.

The funniest thing is that, though the Americans were the ones who granted us with the nuclear waiver they are not the ones reaping it. Once the waiver was achieved the differences between India and USA on definition of a nuclear deal came out perfectly. Still not much headway achieved on this, however the French and the Russians are walking away with chunk of the pie.

I like how non of you got my point...

I am saying that powers that be can build hurdles and stumbling blocks. Perhaps comprehension is hard for few few on this forum but i didn't expect this from you.

Arey yaar -- I perfectly got your point. This line is the key

Perhaps you can take that India is not so much influenced by US like Pakistan.

If the 'powers that be' want to scuttle this deal they could have very well tried doing so while we were signing the above three deals also.

You know what they did not do ,or if they tried they failed miserably in that.

I guess this is what you meant or if it is something else please explain to me, a lesser mortal, about that. I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.

That was the plan all along we needed the N deal with US to get round the NPT and now that we have the ball is in our court but i still think the US will get 2 plants minimum for payback or they will be really pissed all that hard lobbying and no reward

I agree with this, Indian's know how to play the game.. *Tip's Hat*

Actually you didn't get it. You are deliberately associating this with a different issue.

Iran-India Gas Pipeline Issue

US has a beef with Iran and it does not want India to support it economically. Also India is not particularly interested because the pipeline has to come through our arch enemy Pakistan.

Now tell me, What US has against Zambia? What enemy countries should we go through to get the Uranium?

You are deliberately avoiding the obvious.

But thank you for your insights. We can get what we want, we have that much clout in this world.

 

[Abhishek_]

^fair points but go easy on personal attacks. no need for them when you already have good points to make. and paladin has a fairly good track record on debates so please be respectful to him.

Disagree with you on that.You got to consider the fact that Anti-India sentiment is all that holds Pakistan together. The day their anti-india obsession and Kashmir fixation is gone, you will see they are no longer the enemies but aloof neighbours at worst.

The adjective " our arch enemy " best describes china.

 

[Veeru]

Pro pakistan and American puppet manmohan singh will sit on the offer while doing nothing.

Buddy you are new here, not every one there is a troll understand. There are some senior members respected for their insightful comments. Paladin is one of them, he knows exactly what he is talking about. It is you who are unable to understand him.

What he wants to say is that basically the powers that are now can easily meddle in affairs of a country's internal matter in which the power , whoever it is, is getting involved and though it will be detrimental to the host country (it could be India or Pakistan or anybody) we will bow down. It is not about the clout thing always. The example he has given is also perfect, look at the Iran Pakistan and India gas pipeline, at first we were very interested in this. However why did we get back?? because of USA pressure. The pros would have always outweighed cons in that, however we had to step back.

Hope u understand this long post.

I don't get it, why do people not like Manmohan Singh.. Personally i think he is a great statesman.

 

[StingRoy]

@Paladin... don't bother about politics... looks like he is a BJP supporter

 

[WAR-rior]

I don't get it, why do people not like Manmohan Singh.. Personally i think he is a great statesman.

To add....just see how we indians are lucky to be in such able hands !

I don't get it, why do people not like Manmohan Singh.. Personally i think he is a great statesman.

Well he looks calm and peaceful. I mean even if he says ''let us go to war'' seriously it would look like he was asking somebody to come to tea. That is the version some provide to put him down.

Given the affinity with the USSR and then Russia in India, from long time, the recent bonhomie with USA is not that palatable when spoken openly of. Lot of people cling on to the Russians when speaking of strategic issues, i mean old timers and middle aged fellers. However this is the Prime Minister who overtly looks pro American so this also makes people to eye him with contempt some times.

Thirdly and importantly, everybody knows the power is wielded by whom in the government currently in India. You are aware of it aren't you, so this is also an important reason for putting him down.

So there you go i have given three reasons ranging from foolish to intelligent.
