Yes, IOC should totally ban India for hitting terrorist camps.

Yes it has. In India alone, millions were killed by medieval rulers for the sin of idol worship.

Don't indulge in strawman fallacy. Just say with me that Pakistani terrorists are killing Hindus in the name of Islam. Ok let me make it easier for you. Start by saying terrorists based in Pakistan are killing Indians.

See, you are not going to condemn Pakistani terrorists because of Ummah. So, it is you who is agreeing with me that Pakistan is doing this in the name of Islam and you support it.

In Pahalgam incident, Muslim terrorists singled out Hindus to kill. They identified victims by asking them to recite Kalma and checking if they were circumcised. In 1990s in Kashmir valley, the slogans used by "freedom fighters" were "Convert, flee or die" "We want Pandit (Hindu) ladies to stay without men" "What is our relation with Pakistan: Belief in one God Allah" "If you have to stay in Kashmir, you have to shout Naara-e-Taqbeer" I have hundreds more of such examples. So, instead of using word salads, say with me that these are terrorist activities.

I am not saying Islam = terrorism. But the terrorists who are killing Indians are doing it in the name of Islam. You want to save Islam's name. Join us in saying that Pakistan is a terrorist state. But you won't. And majority of the users here know why. Just that unlike me, they are afraid of being called an Islamophobe.

We are ready for escalation ladder. But honestly, we don't care for it. Our goal is striking terrorists. If Army harbours terrorists, they will be attacked. If Munir harbours terrorists, he will be attacked. Whether Pakistan breaks into 4-5 nations or survives as one, I don't care. Don't even want us to take back PoK and its maniac public. At most, we should take some districts of Sind to save the Sindhi minorities whose daughters are raped in large numbers due to their religion.

I was a Globalist but after the way India was mocked and abused by West during COVID. And after seeing how West opposed relaxed citizenship norms for persecuted Pakistani Hindus, I don't have a very high opinion of West in General. Don't care what regular people in Europe/America think. They want to support Islamist terrorists, their choice. We are going to secure our nation. With them, without them, despite them.

India is not interested in breaking Pakistan but the way TTP and Balochs are going, wouldn't be surprised if this Frankenstein's monster ceases to exist in near future. Just hope that Saudi/USA has taken control of the nukes they sponsored.

Sabarmati river in Ahmedabad, Hussain Sagar Lake in Hyderabad, Triveni Sangam in Prayagraj are just some iconic places I can think at top of my head. If we include sea, options are limitless. And if we include tier-2/3 cities like Bhopal, Chandigarh, etc. and included rivers/lakes within 100km of tier-1/2 cities, there could be many more options.

Why do you think India is not capable of hosting swimming leg of triathlon? Please elaborate.

As someone, who thinks ICC rankings are useless, I would be happy if they are not a criteria for qualification but I think they will have atleast 1 quota via rankings to ensure that the top 3 (India, England and Australia) don't miss out.

With only 6 spots, don't think there is space for Continental qualifiers and Host quota. I would have 2026 World Cup Winner. Three qualifiers (these can be semi-continental with some continents merged) with 1 spot each. Rest 2 to rankings.

There won't be Olympic Games in 2036. After cancellation of 28 and 32 Games, the world would simply stop caring for Olympics.

Don't agree at all. This is surely good news for all conspiracy theorists. Either the declassified files validate their theory by agreeing with it or are further proof that "X" is using this declassification as smoke screen to hide their involvement.

And the winning Nigerian team has such an interesting set of names: "Peculiar, Lucky, Victory, Annointed with Beauty on the bench"

Absolute loyalty is the main criteria for any job in dictatorship. (USA is not but Republican party is fully under Trump's control). Also, more tragicomic is the situation of Pro-Palestinian people who were angry with Biden-Harris and may have either switched sides or not voted. Trump is gonna have the most Pro-Israel Security Establishment in years. Edit: I absolutely disagree with the quoted tweet. We shouldn't expect the people who are fighting inflation to care about global events.

After Zika, Covid and bed bugs we have found the new reason because of which Olympics are going to be cancelled. Brace for 3.5 years of updates on how Trump's X policy or Y statement will result in cancellation of LA Games.

Though I don't agree with Kho Kho and Yoga as Olympic games, I don't see why should we not put them on the long list as sports we are ready to drop. And if Lacrosse, Flag Football, Breaking can be Olympic sports, anything can be. Of course this all depends on us actually winning the right to host. There was much enthusiasm around bidding when Mumbai hosted IOC session but after that (and after Modi's reduced mandate in last elections) I am not sensing same commitment from government. And even if govt. was fully committed, winning the rights is not easy.

Big swing towards Republican across USA. Is there any state where Harris has done better than Biden?

ICC will devise the qualification rules in such a manner that there is very very high chance that India qualifies. I am expecting ranking based qualifications. And no host nation quota.
