I am an Indian and I request you to ignore the trash talk these insignificant politicians do on a “live debate shows” to get views for news channels. These notorious news channels pays “politicians” to come to their show to fight, get insulted, speak gibberish and anything that can be done to increase viewership.
Update: The person asking to nuke is a random dude, not a politician.
I am Canadian, and thank you for pointing this out. What a fucking mess, eh?
Hope you’re doing well, and all this gets figured out soon.
i am not indian and i beg you to stop the cast system. stop supporting russia. grow up on the conflict with pakistan. any maybe even stop india it devs claiming to be able to develop proper software…it is always a framework wrapping a page or a template they copied at university. damn…indian devs drive me nuts
your bio: age 14 years, she/they, bisexual, #stopputin, white american (i know, i’m sorry), slava ukraina!
genuinely if you think harassing a random indian online will help any problems india has you probably don’t belong on the internet. there are 1.4 billion indians

Nuclear Gandhi has entered the chat…
Quick question: What the fuck dude?
Nationalism is a hell of a drug
Yeah, I always figured Canada would be the last to fall in nuclear holocaust because they’re, you know, Canada. Yet here we are.
That’s the thing about nuclear holocausts: Everybody falls in a nuclear holocaust.
Right, but they would have been the last, because who gets mad at Canada, really?
Crazy ass nationalists.
Why though? Why Canada?
India has its hands full already with China, and there’s no ally to be found across their border with Pakistan either.
So what gives? Why go pick on Canada, just because a guy there wanted to entertain the thought of a sikh state free from India?
Because Canada had the balls to say “yo why the fuck you killing someone in Canada?”
The absolute gall.
Because Modi solidifies domestic power by labeling any Sikh protestor as khalistanist (i.e. terrorist). Any whiff of separatism is a threat to his power. Canada just got in the way

Jesus christ how unhinged do you have to be to go on live television just fucking say that out loud? Actual loonies running the country there.
Decades of elections and “leadership” across most countries means lots of places have lots of people who think they know what they’re doing, but really don’t. So they think being in power means threatening use of power.
What would happen if a non aligned country nukes NATO? I know India is aligning themselves with Russia or atleast the news is presenting it that way but. Would all nuclear armed countries nuke India? Would it cause Russia to Nuke the USA and vice versa or would everyone nuke India or only a back and forth between NATO and India?
I don’t believe there would be retaliatory nukes as that would just lead to further retaliation. India would quickly get cut off from international trade and financial systems and become a total pariah. Their only friends would be the other pariah states like ruzzia.
Now if the US got nuked there would definitely be military retaliation.
No, it would be much, much worse than that. Nuking a country is a declaration of war and an unprecedented violation of the post-WW2 norms that have prevented global nuclear armageddon. If the nuked country is in NATO, then NATO will absolutely go to war. That’s the whole point of NATO. NATO would probably not start with nuclear retaliation, but India would get invaded and/or be forced to capitulate. It would be like Japan after WW2. India would be forced to give up its nukes. Modi and other leaders would be tried as war criminals. Significant adjustments to the Indian constitution would be made. Permanent NATO bases would be established in India. Within a couple of years, India would be allowed to hold elections and self-govern again as a non-nuclear NATO ally, which would both protect it from Pakistan or China and make it entirely dependent on NATO for that protection.
I’m surprised the other person is downplaying the consequences of a nuclear strike. If they actually followed through with this then India would be glass in thirty minutes
I simply disagree. Canada has no nukes of our own so in order to “glass” India, one of the other nuclear powers would have to take that step which then opens them up for retaliation. I just don’t know if I trust the commitment of other NATO countries to commit that hard.
Think about it, if India nuked Canada because we accused them of assassination, they will definitely attempt to nuke anyone else that attempts to punish them for that. Now if you’re a NATO country other than Canada, are you willing to get yourself nuked as well? I just don’t know if anyone else would put themselves in that position.
The reality of the situation is that India would never do something so crazy so it’s pointless to speculate about what the response would be.
The US would retaliate before the nuke even landed in Canada. The Monroe doctrine is still in effect.
Great response. I think everything you said is essentially the promise that NATO makes, but as I said to another poster, if India is going to nuke Canada because we accused them of assassination, they will definitely nuke anyone that attacks them. Canada has no nukes of our own, so we couldn’t directly retaliate. Now if you’re the leader of another NATO country, are you going to risk getting nuked for the sake of NATO? I just don’t think anyone else would be willing to step up like that when the shit hits the fan. Think about it… are you willing to risk getting your country nuked for NATO? I just don’t know.

By your very logic, if they are willing to nuke over nothing, they’ll also do it to countries that sanction them.
Good point, but the number of countries sanctioning India would definitely far exceed the number that would retaliate militarily against them. Non-NATO countries would join in on sanctions but would not join the fight, so there would simply be too many sanction targets to retaliate against.
Just because you wouldn’t help your friends in a fight or if they got attacked doesn’t mean everyone is the same as you and just watch while it happens doing nothing.
I’m Canadian so I’ve been considering this from the viewpoint of the one who got attacked. I’m really having trouble believing my friends (other NATO countries) would put their necks out on the line, and I think they would be more cautious in the face of their own nuclear destruction.
“How dare you accuse us of murder? If you keep this up, we’ll show you our peaceful ways by force!”
Nothing says “we didn’t do it” like threatening to nuke one of the most peaceful countries in the world.
After all the worry about NATO and Russia starting WW3. It would be almost comical if it was India that did it.
Out of curiosity. What countries would back India’s unprecedented surprise nuking of Canada? Or would they just be opening themselves up to being attacked by the entire planet at that point?

So hold up - does anyone have a better source? Who is this guy? What’s his story? How much influence does he wield?
Man you people really just hate Indian people don’t you lol
Bro I’m Indian and I FUCKING hate that country. If you resort to whataboutisms as a defense of the horrible shit that happens there then you’re part of the problem.
My wife and her family are all from India and she always says she doesn’t want to talk politics. My first time arguing politics with her family, they all started aggressively shouting, with her uncle even shoving me a little as they raised points that made absolutely no sense and my counterpoints were met with thinly-veiled threats. Finally, I was told that I don’t know how anything works because I only knew what I heard on mainstream media, but they knew the truth because they “know these things.” The only things I learned that day were:
- Never argue politics with anyone who supports Modi
- My wife is always right
ETA: When I asked if they were threatening me, they’d say no and that I don’t know how to argue politics. I’m guessing this person threatening to nuke Canada in the same way you’ll hear people say “I’ll give you such a slap.”
