  1.  @gingerbread_GB  They don't own it though. They claim it but it's under the jurisdiction of the Bhutanese government. So yes what the OP said is correct because it is legally Bhutanese land.

  2.  @nuggetmanman5459  No, it's non-aligned. It maintains good relations with everybody.

  3.  @waltersimmons9512  because Singapore was once part of Malaysia but it was expelled from the country due to race riots. There was fear that Singapore would fail because it has no natural resources and was very poor at the time, with an ethnically diverse population that was marred by ethnic violence and a high fertility rate. Singapore transformed from a developing to a developed nation in one generation and is now one of the most advanced nations on earth. Compare that to Malaysia, still a developing country rife with corruption, still practicing ethnocentric race-based politics and suffering from a tremendous brain drain that is so severe that the World Bank said that Malaysia won't become a high income nation until it plugs its brain drain. The prediction that Malaysia will become high income keeps being pushed back. In the late 2010s, they said that by 2021 Malaysia would be a high income nation but now it's 2024 and Malaysia is still a developing middle income nation. The Malaysian government has also expressed regret at the fact that they are losing their brightest to countries like Australia.

  4.  @ShadowPhoenixMaximus  No but it did occupy an entire country and expel the native inhabitants and doesn't allow a single civilian or media crew into the nation that has now been turned into a US military base. It's called Diego Garcia, located in the middle of the Indian Ocean south of the Maldives. Look it up. Highly concerning that nobody ever talks about this even though the UN ruled it "illegal".

  5. How is that something to celebrate? There's nothing to congratulate.

  6. This is why democracy doesn't work in India. Too much democracy and this is the result you see: certain groups constantly protesting and demanding things change for them. This is why India is developing at such a slow pace.

  7.  @Minchya  A survey revealed most Australians don't want to join the US in a war. So yeah he speaks for most of us.

  8.  @martinprice6215  Japan attacked Australia, never tried to invade it.

  9.  @leakahoshi5049  Being a city is a disadvantage to Singapore because it has no natural resources and being located on a shipping lane means nothing if you don't have the right leaders with the right visions. There are other Asian countries along that same shipping route that could have been like Singapore but they didn't and that's because of their inability to manage their ethnic diversity. Lee Kuan Yew, with the help of his close friend and political ally, created a framework that would fix Singapore's ethnic problem by uniting the country's ethnically diverse inhabitants. So by uniting the people, he was able to make the country's population its natural resource. This is why Singapore stresses the importance of ethnic harmony and that's why the country is by far the most successful multi-ethnic nation in Asia and among the best in the world.

  10.  @docken11  There are actually no reasons. I live in Australia. It's important that we work with the nations in our region than get angry with them because a nation on the other side of the world can't stand one country rising.

  11. I've watched vlogs and TikTok videos of people in 7-Eleven stores in South Korea, India, Philippines and Thailand and they always have chairs and tables to sit and eat food that you buy and even cook/heat up the food for you like if you order rice or pizza.

  12. Nah, what India needs to do is enhance its connections with its South Asian and Southeast Asian neighbours whilst also working with China in these countries.

  13.  @ivand0007  and here's the comments for all the Indians to see. This is why I keep saying that the China-India thaw is so important. The Americans will never treat India equally.

  14.  @user-pr2xj1bm4u  How has China threatened us? Can you even answer that?

  16.  @nicktubby9710  Australia is far away from China. There is no expansionism going on here.

  17.  @proximacentauri3627  I also can't believe you compared WW2 to China's rise in Asia. Has China invaded another country as of 2024? Has China genocided an entire ethnic group in another country the way Japanese orchestrated Sook Ching in Singapore? Has China imported comfort women from around Asia the way the Japanese pulled women from around Asia?

  18.  @VinayakP  Why would they talk about that? They're very clearly talking about a nuclear submarine base.

  19.  @georgebrantley776  India isn't going to get involved in anything. India is like other other South and Southeast Asian countries, they will always choose to remain neutral unless their safety is jeopardised.

  20.  @martinprice6215  Wait until you find out that Philippines claims Vietnam's claimed territory in the South China Sea and that Taiwan claims the entire region as theirs.

  21.  @Banom7a  Yeah but Chinese are East Asians and Singapore is in Asia. Mauritius is in Africa but most of its people are not native to Africa. Do Indo-Mauritians consider themselves Africans or South Asians or neither? I guess it doesn't matter. They're Mauritians first and foremost.

  22.  @Voltaicz  It is rare for me to see a Tamil Indian speak like a North Indian but there's a first time for everything

  23.  @Voltaicz  You people already claim that it's part of India even though it makes no sense

  25.  @hankjones3527  Always encouraging war and trying to create problems that the next generation has to solve.

  26.  @robboinnz  Broaden your outlook, they only want to protect their interests. If they were objectively a force for good, they would've brought "freedom" to the Burmese people but they didn't.

  28.  @RyanAmplification  India won't join. They don't side with other countries, the only reason for them to join is if they were attacked.

  29.  @doom9603  QUAD is not a miliary alliance. India isn't going to join any conflict unless it directly affects them, neither will the rest of Asia.

  30.  @ChandanMishra-ql1bi  Since when did India want Tibet other than the Akhand Bharat nationalists?

  31.  @vlhc4642  They absolutely were not, China has always been ahead of India in the post-colonial age.

  32. China has NEVER seen Australia as being theirs.What???

  33. Yes that was in the past but not anymore and it wasn't due to religion, it was due to ethnicity. Malaysia and Indonesia are predominantly Malay/Indonesian while Singapore is predominantly Chinese. Singapore has good relations with Malaysia and Indonesia.

  34. Australia needs to wake up and realise that we are being prepped to be the Ukraine of Asia-Pacific. If the US gets it way and war were to break out on all fronts of Asia-Pacific (Taiwan, South China Sea, Eastern Indian Ocean, even the Himalayas) and Australia gets involved out of no choice, trust that they will not come to our aid. They will abandon us the way they abandoned Ukraine. So like I have been saying for years, it is us Asia-Pacific people that will suffer, not the Americans who live on the other side of the world. We need to protect our region for the sake of our survival.

  35. 15% of Singaporeans are Muslims, of which most belong to the indigenous people of Singapore: the Malays...

  36. So this remark makes no sense

  37.  @elpenprice679  So all the crimes that these so-called "friendly troops" have committed in Okinawa, Japan is "good"?

  38. No we didn't

  39.  @Voltaicz  Okay but India's neighbourhood isn't "India's". Bangladesh can do whatever it wants.

  40.  @justit1074  It's termed the Switzerland of the East because it's politically neutral.

  41. They're both very selfish. They don't care about the other countries in the region, only about themselves.

  42.  @elpenprice679  Yes they do because war means their economy grows

  43.  @ananthakrishnan9326  All that land under the sea doesn't belong to India though. Some of it belongs to other nations and other areas constitute international waters.

  44.  @Fnndjkvlf  China isn't trying to takeover us. The US wants to control us though and even when we want help, the Americans refuse to give it to us. Some friendship huh?

  49.  @vertabray5064  It's so funny how you think you're doing something but you're not. You can't even argue with facts, all you can do is call me "Abdul" even though I am not even Arab or Muslim.

  50. I'm from Australia and as someone that actually recognises our geography, we need to look at our own interests first (just like every other nation on earth is doing). Stop focusing on what's going on elsewhere and demanding nations in OUR part of the world to take part in wars taking place on a whole other continent. India (and China) being neutral is a benefit for the rest of the Asia-Pacific.
