DRDO Team To Visit Israel Next Month
full headline: DRDO Team To Visit Israel Next Month For N-Submarine Tie-up

NEW DELHI, NOV 2: India and Israel are moving towards a possible collaboration in nuclear submarines. A high-level technical team from Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) headed by Dr VK Atre, chief scientific advisor, will be going to Israel next month for discussions on the issue.

According to highly placed defence ministry sources, a beginning in this direction was made during PM Ariel Sharon’s visit to India in September. During the week-long visit, the delegation would seek “Israeli collaboration in the Indian nuclear submarine programme.”

1. The newest trifecta: India, Israel, and America
It just so happens that all of them are going up against Muslims. Israel against against the Palestianians and Syrians, India against Pakistan, and the US against Syria and Iran. Hmm...nahhh...World War III is not going to happen.

3. India actually has good relations with most Muslim countries

A few weeks ago I was reading an interesting study of their foreign policy, best described as schizophrenic. While their domestic propaganda paints Islam and Pakistan as the source of all evil and Kashmir a hideous conspiracy to be crushed smashed and bombed, they on the other hand have good relations with Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq before the war, etc.. out of material necessity. I would guess that they won't be aligning too closely with Israel, for that would threaten their economic needs.

2. Ain't this proliferation of WMD?
Aren't we all supposed to be against that or something?

4. Now, what exactly do both of these nations have in common?
Edited on Sun Nov-02-03 07:19 PM by Darranar
Hmm...

This collaboration is bound to be harmful. The less WMD, the better. The fewer means of using WMD, the better.

7. You agree?
I thought you were one of those who say "the less WMD the better, except in Israel"?

Congrats on joining the dark side.
