" It's India's right to have Permanent seat at UN Security Council " -PM Modi

[kadamba-warrior]

UNSC is the only positive thing about UN. Learn to continue to live with it. India can always withdraw from UN. If it does, the world won't miss India much.

Notwithstanding your unhealthy obsession to condescend on India-centric matters, UNSC is nothing but a gang of bullies who see every conflicts as potential political point scoring contests among member states! Meanwhile, people die in their millions in ME and elsewhere due to lack of unanimity to punish/condemn the guilty.

On the contrary, the rest of UN Organizations are doing something positive about the living conditions of the world - however constrained they may be in their capacity.

India is not a responsible international player. There will be no seat unless you admit to genocide in Kashmir and do something to fix this issue.

If being a responsible international player was the criteria for being UNSC member, China wouldn't have engaged in Nuclear Proliferation and got away with it. Nor would Russia have annexed a neighboring country's territory and threaten the use of Nuclear weapons when asked to hand it back!

Its a dog-eat-dog world out there and nothing typifies it better than UNSC!

I agree with your statement apart from Russia annexing Ukrainian territory as that part was Russian in the first place and they gave it to Ukraine but now they decided to take it back.

The transfer of Crimea in 1954 was an administrative action of the Supreme Soviet which transferred the government of most of the Crimean peninsula from the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic to the Ukrainian SSR

Sure. But a country threatening the use of Nuclear Weapons doesn't exactly qualify as a "Responsible International Player" no matter what the conflict is!

In any case, there are so complaints against each of the UNSC members that it is scary they hold so much power!

The Russians stated they can place nuclear missiles on any part of it's territory, that was all they said.

The media in the west is biased on Russia and Putin when it was NATO that expanded it's borders right to the door of Russia and the Russian bear had to bite back and indeed it did.

The Russians stated they can place nuclear missiles on any part of it's territory, that was all they said.

On Friday, as Russian Federation tanks and troops poured across the border into eastern Ukraine, Vladimir Putin talked about his country’s most destructive weaponry. “I want to remind you that Russia is one of the most powerful nuclear nations,” he said. “This is a reality, not just words.” Russia, he told listeners, is “strengthening our nuclear deterrence forces.”

Yes, we were ready,” he said to the question about whether the option of putting strategic forces on high alert was considered. He then clarified that these forces were always on high readiness status. And when “some military experts” advised him to use all available means of deterrence, he said “No,”


Russia is well within it's right to defend it's soil and Crimea is indeed Russian land, sooner or later a deal will be struck though.

Read what Putin actually said and what the western media printed

"We were ready to do it. I talked with colleagues and told them that this (Crimea) is our historic territory, Russian people live there, they are in danger, we cannot leave them.

Putin just said he is prepared to put it's strategic forces (including nukes) on high alert, now the media said he is threatening the west with nukes lol

Its all word play. He had no business of mentioning that Russia was one of the most powerful nuclear nations if he didn't want to play nuclear card in a conflict which he escalated in the first place!

I don't deny Western Press trying to put words in Putin's mouth, but Putin himself is not a saint either.

 

[Dr Gupta]

Russia is far more responsible to NATO which made a balls up in Libya.

He is no saint but he is a patriot who is defending his land and playing the game, NATO were the ones who broke the cold war deal and decided to move to Slavic states like Ukraine which was a big red alert. There is a limit and that red line was crossed by NATO.

The story was that Nato was a purely defensive alliance, so when the Soviet Union collapsed and the Warsaw pact was dissolved and there was no longer anyone to defend against, Nato should have been dissolved also (The vilification of Russia risks paving the way for war, 5 March). That did not happen and it is not surprising that several countries in eastern Europe applied to join the alliance, as a precaution against any revival of Russian power. It is not surprising either that when Russia found that countries a few hundred kilometres from St Petersburg were members of an alliance whose sole purpose was to oppose Russia that it too needed to take precautions by expanding its military expenditure and exerting pressure on its neighbours. Nato may declare that its intentions are entirely peaceful and its actions only defensive, but Russia plainly cannot afford to take the risk of believing these words, which have not been borne out by recent history. (When did Serbia or Libya attack a Nato member?) Imagine US reactions if Canada and Mexico were to join an alliance with Russia.

I don't think India deserves to be a permanent member of UN ! What will you guys do there ? You need to take sides and I have hardly seen Indians mustering up the balls and taking sides !

No we do not we do what is in our interests we are a sovereign country not your subject.

The only time we sided with you was voting against Iran in exchange for the US-Indo N deal but we still continued to trade with Iran as it was in our interest.

No matter what neighboring countries say, India will get Permanent seat in UNSC. Please stop being jealous

 

[Dr Gupta]

"The best illustration of this is the two votes India cast against Iran at the IAEA. I am the first person to admit that the votes were coerced

Stephen Rademaker also acknowledged that India's votes against Iran at the International Atomic Energy Agency were "coerced

If the yanks want India to take sides they must offer carrots perhaps some F22's



What the yanks did not know was India and Iran started to use the Rupee and exchange goods instead of US $$

India will always be able to get the permanent seat in the future. Emphasize will... As it would not ever have it in present tense.

If i see that India can benefit South Asia and be responsible solve whatever problems it has with Pakistan(Kashmir) mainly and have a permanent peace with Pakistan then yes i will be the first Pakistani to support India for Permanent membership and be voice for South Asia but again only if they can solve the issue of Kashmir with Pakistan and both nations can cooperate towards peace and stability in South Asia. Its my dream that someday South Asia can be as Europe where ppl from the rest of the world come to our land to find jobs to enjoy beauty and be a witness of prosperity and heavenly places in this region. Mayb just mayb someday we will stop killing eachother and be our brothers keeper. I just pray and wish i see this happen before i die. It hurts me when i see our south asian community working their as>es off in other countries and many of whom dont see there families for years and years just to earn that $,pound or whatever currency. Mayb inshallah one day.

What a humiliation for Modi! He said nothing about a veto power!

Hey i have the right to live in a mansion and own 10 super cars, lol. Modi is a joke. India have not fought the USSR or the US and her allies and they want permanent un seat. India lost the 1962 war against China, lol.
Humiliated by Italy over the two marines, can barely beat Pakistan , has very little world influence but want to be BOSS.
Indians are funny .
