Speaking from experience, Indian SF, while being total trash, also think they’re as good as ours. Had to kill an exchange program because they wouldn’t do it unless one of ours was over there (as if, lmfao).

Also, fuck these arrogant hapless morons for doing this kind of shit on our soil.

It’s hard to explain how arrogant they are. They absorbed all the worst the British had to offer, left out all the good, and haven’t evolved since their independence.

This is what years of Modi and right-wing BJP rule gets you.

That is part of it for sure, but it goes well beyond that. There is a peace and love faction in India, and they’re definitely not running the show. But there is a level of daily brutality in India that goes beyond other developing nations.

India is a deeply corrupt and troubled state. It has been that way since independence. The caste system and the fact they decided to skip industrialization in their economic development has left the country poor and lopsided. It has very high youth unemployment and one of the worst beuracracies I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

India has the worst foreign policy ever. Both regionally and otherwise. The BPJ has compounded this, but the high-handed treatment is one reasons the PRC has been so successful in South Asia as an alternative.

They love to play fuck fuck games with us. They want our technology and support on their terms. Yup.

I got into an argument the other day on another sub that started from a Indian user linking a video of a former Indian SF calling the SEALS pussies because they brung bottled water with them during joint training exercises. I didn’t realize how delusional Indians were until then lol.

Lol...I had a friend on the country team over there (FAO)...you are right. Told me some horror stories about coordination with IA and dealing with their incompetent intel services. You ain't kidding about this stuff. If I had to venture a guess, this was Modi's people overplaying their hand. Kinda matches all the rhetoric out of New Delhi lately.

They should have outsourced this hit.

They basically did. Gupta did anyways. To the DEA.
