        Yeah, that was entirely the intent of ushering in a think tank’s neoconservative military agenda. The Project for a New American Century (PNAC) had a list of signatories that included Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Jeb Bush, Gingrich, and Cheney; all determined to bring the United States into the 21st century prepared to fight micro-wars on several fronts.

        Their manifesto (authored a few years prior to 9/11) referred to the fact they’d need “a Pearl Harbor type event” to usher in these changes to military organization and deployment to move away from “cold war thinking.”

        The attack in NYC gained them political favor to implement these changes, go after Iraq, Iran, and North Korea (hence the Axis of Evil), and let the events of Iraq Part II unfold. It was sickening watching it unfold, and people ate that WMD shit up like it they were hooked on meth.

          screamiing idiots in India’s mainstream news debate shows are demanding for India to nuke Canada.

            Canada is part of NATO, so article 5 is automatic. Plus, looking at a map, the US would not appreciate radioactivity crossing its borders.

            Russian media wants to nuke the US. India media wants to nuke Canada. I’m sure if we took them seriously they wouldn’t like it.

              The screaming, threats, and invective against Canada is being done to whip up hysterical support for Modi & his political party for the upcoming nationwide elections. Modi’s policies & corruption have so wrecked India’s economy, that he’s desperate. And a desperate dictator with violent religious extremeists at his beck & call who alsso fear the secular and progressive opposition will say & do anything to gather public support.

              No Indian will be surprised if they try to burn or bomb Canada’s embassy and try to spin that to look like victims.

                So what you are saying is shutting down the Canadian embassy is the next logical step. Of course that means that India will close its embassy. We shall see.

      I agree. I posted for all the commenters who think Trudeau’s doing this as an election stunt.

        US intelligence agencies confirmed it and the government condemned it. Believe me, the US does not want geopolitical problems with India right now. Conspiracy theories seem to be the primary vehicle for political BS these days.

      Especially when your country is 5% Indian-Canadian; that’s a lot of voters to enrage.

      Imho this only happened because of the CSIS leaks like the one about MP Chong’s family being targeted in China. Trudeau probably figured this story would be better from him than from the press - keeping the geopolitical dirty laundry out of the public view was never an option because of the leaker.

    Where? “Media reports” i are nothing but stalling tactics. They are asking India’s help to investigate. Why would India help Canada investigate India’s involvement in a killing. How does that work.

      The states at least admit when they assassinate someone in another country.

      Modi can have at least that much respect for Canada and fess up, it’s not a high bar.

        9.5 years of Modi regime has proved that Modi is unable to speak the truth.
