    Oh shit. I mean, that’s what the rumour mill said but…not a smart move by India if true. They’ve created a martyr and pissed off a friendly nation all in one hit.

      @LittleLordFauntleroy @dantheclamman

      Iran and Russia managed to get away with it in Europe… so it’s not unprecedented.

      In my view, Canada is a big country, but due to its low population has a limited capacity for weathering the cost of sanctions and retaliation.

      This creates an imbalance politically. They might get away with it.

        Hey, US citizen checkin in. Don’t fuck around in or with Canada unless you like pissing the US off, too. I don’t think India wants this heat. They need to change course.

        You’re bigger than us and we survived China trying to intimidate us with sanctions and what not.
