This was a representative of the India Government. Wars have been fought over less.

And one in the US apparently

It was an Indian man, but I'm aware of any evidence he was an operative of the Indian government.

Edit: Dumbass me, commenting before reading the article.

Naturally, our closest ally did what it does best and told us children (Canada and India) to stop fighting because they had more important interests in Asia.

More important than the literal fucking assassination of Canadian citizens on Canadian soil by a foreign power, apparently. More important than supporting it's single largest trading partner in the world. More important than supporting the country that forms the other half of NORAD.

Then again, the US DOJ literally pushed Bombardier (a Canadian jet aircraft company and massive Canadian employer) to insolvency because it might compete with Boeing. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Bombardier killed itself through the incompetence of its management and C-suite, DOJ might not have helped but a good aircraft company should be able to survive without military contracts

[–] naturalgasbad@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

It wasn't military contracts that killed Bombardier. It was the DOJ blocking Bombardier sales to the US under claims of "dumping"

Seems a pretty vitriolic response for America releasing details on planned assassinations

This is the best summary I could come up with:


A newly unsealed U.S. criminal indictment has unleashed an unprecedented flood of details about an alleged plot connected to the Indian government to carry out multiple assassinations in North America.

Perhaps the most surprising allegation in the murder-for-hire indictment filed in New York State against Indian national Nikhil Gupta is a claim that there were plans to carry out three such killings on Canadian soil.

The indictment, made public Wednesday, accuses Gupta of attempting this year to arrange one killing in New York after receiving instructions from an Indian government employee.

The Indian government employee is not named in the indictment, but he is described as having held different roles, including intelligence, security management and in India's Central Reserve Police Force.

Last week, the Financial Times reported that U.S. officials had filed a criminal indictment and thwarted a similar plot against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a citizen of the U.S. and Canada.

"This is an indictment against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a known human-rights violator who has a track record of using violence to suppress criticism and dissenting political opinion," Pannum said.


The original article contains 832 words, the summary contains 179 words. Saved 78%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Just do whatever you want to, kill whoever you want to... the key word to whitewash everything is "terrorist"!
