@Joe Shearer


make them our b***h.

Friendly if frindly, hostile if hostile.

Tumhe 4 ghode de do to abhi Biejing pe attack kar doge?

The world doesn't work like this.

I think I will be able to give a better answer as I learn more about it.

Let us hope that you print this out, and stick it to the wall in front.
Just running off at the mouth and jumping about is NOT a reaction.

I have met many Maldivians in person, specially students. But never felt the need to discuss politics with them>

The closest thing to a political discussion was them telling the story about how India rescued their president long back. Every Maldivian knows it; kinda like 1971 Bangla liberation war.

I am telling him that you can't make a country your "bitch". Geopolitics does not work like that.

There are nuances.

Of course that will work.
If it works with freshers, why shouldn't it work with an independent country?

A venomous snake is about to strike at you and you'd pretend it's nothing. That's dawrinian level extinction justified.

Put 25% of their annual revenues at risk and they will defnitely dance.

It's the govt that's being targeted, not the students.

So far so good.

As you know from your intimate knowledge of politics and of world affairs, all governments and all leadership is terrified by threats of an unknown nature.

I hope he isn't drunk. He sounds it.

You are so sure? Was that what worked with Nepal? Cutting off their supplies, blocking all transit?

What venomous snake? The Maldives administration saying they don't need a big brother?

 

[Joe Shearer]

There is a certain artistic logic to this.

We couldn't scare China, so we turned to Pakistan
We couldn't scare Pakistan, so we turned to Nepal
We couldn't scare Nepal, so now it's the turn of the Maldives.
I wonder if Bhutan knows what's about to happen, poor sods.

Majority of staff working in Maldivian resorts is Indians (almost half is from Kerala). The pilots who fly their sea-planes carrying tourists and essential supplies (such as groceries) are mostly Indians. The travel agents arranging tours for rich westerners are mostly Indian. Any rash decision puts their employment under risk.
We need to target the anti-India lobby by strengthening the pro-India lobby in Male.

Also, any Maldivian student studying in India needs clearance from Home Ministry. Home ministry must keep an idea which colleges are creating hatred for Indians in the heart of young impressionable students of Maldives. It would've long-term effects on our relations with the island.
