How so ?

What evidence to prove it was Hamas ? "Evidence" ?

Amazingly glib retorts from some assigned players. Almost frantic now.

You just may be right. The real shadow controllers of the US will not be willing to experiment with the likes of Trump any time soon ! But behind the scenes there will be some extraordinarily hard financial allocation discussions going on to maintain the pseudo democratic illusion!

The fundamental difference in conditions that apply to loans from the IMF and China are quite basic. Loans from China usually include an element of involvement in the creation of physical infrastructure in various degrees which undeniably provides a percentage of financial and employment return to China. It also provides oversight and implementation of design objectives as per stated reason for loans. Loans via the IMF are often dependent on acceding to Governmental controls guised very often as resource management guarantees( asset stripping) and progressive increases in debt compensation for fiscal mismanagment. ( corruption)

Updated as of when ?

You say

Do really believe that World Bank/ IMF loans are not conditional in any way more than repayment ? Did China do something to make Sri Lanka default? That now it has leased the Port it funded is no more threatening than having preferential shipping access to as a condition of a loan.

Who in Sri Lanka voicing objections to a debt to China as the source of the original loan? There objections are about the corrupt Government processes that created the call for the debt. Outside criticism is based more on the fact the IMF initially missed the bus on obtaining their version of "debt trap". Recent events highlighting the entirety of Sri Lankan debt involves China , India, AND the IMF in a restructuring negotiation. Sri Lanka does not possess massive natural resources to strip so the real issue is over preferential "foot in the door" geographical location which India has been very vocal about ! The reality is the geopolitical contest to garner, maintain or even create superior status used to belong to the US. In the process of expanding an economic greed empire that got out of step with military military capacity for enforcement has resulted in a no real surprise rise in threat coupled with similar rise in voicing of resentment by injured players. Historical events provide lessons that so often are not recognized while repeats of history are underway. They just become a comparative example of failure.

Very true! The IMF and World Bank lend for infrastructure if built at all is over budget and inferior China does it transparently.

So you prefer the blanket bombing option?

You know this how?

So blanket bombing would provide a quicker solution than selected civilian targets which Hamas members steer clear of as much as possible ?

I use the term Mafia because mafia orgs. use terror to extract co operation . Thus yes, terrorist Hamas.

"Joe Ferrari " got a life sentence. Where he is serving it ?

Nice "face" save all round and more practical at least.

One of the reasons ? Ah , well done . Never mind other nationalities then. 4000 + dead and rising. How many of those are Hamas mafia? Making Gaza untenable for Hamas and Co. at the cost of an impoverished population long devoid of any capacity to protect themselves politically or physically from either side of a conflict in which total disregard for International convention on War as declared by Israel is ignored.

So shelling and bombing civilians remedies that ?

Pablum ? 😇How cute . Have you started a diet ?

Probably justifiable demands for accountability ! But in horrible hindsight does that or ever will it justify the ever increasing accumulation of deaths ? I doubt few will ever accept that the Hamas incursion was not "permitted" by a very strange lapse in both intelligence and border security systems. More than one fascist government has sacrificed citizens for the "greater " good of national outcomes. That it can be arranged to involve innocent foreign nationals to increase the intended advantage of International outrage all the better?

So.......what to make of the Israeli attack on the Christian Church? Greek Orthodox ....a Hamas launch site ? Or are we all supposed to be totally distracted by the continuously disputed Hospital issue? Perhaps the continued denial of humanitarian food aid held at the Egyptian border is worth a mention? Maybe the claims of US interception of drones/ missiles launched from Syria that "appeared to be headed towards Israel " ? (Now what was the fiction that got the US into the Vietnam war?)

So just baiting and trolling then ?

Agreed !

I will avoid any attempt to debate the essence of your post other than to query your assertion that I have adopted aggressive or abusive language. Is that your reaction to my failure to subscribe like a loyal dog to your opinion ? I find it strange that so far you have cumulatively have accused me of various extreme emotional response states . Are you unaccustomed to have challenge to your opinion?
