Fuck yeah. Sri Lanka is the greatest. It's time you fellas learned who's in charge here.

I think what turns most folks off from Sri Lanka(the greatest country on earth) is the pretty ugly civil war that tore the place apart in the 70's and 80's.
The former areas of Tamil Eelam are actually doing much better now than they ever were under LTTE rule.
The assassination of Ranasinghe Premadasa has to be one of the strangest political assassinations I've ever heard, next to Trotsky's. Who the fuck uses a bicycle as a getaway vehicle?

How has sri lanka btfo india so badly in every possible way

Go on. I am intrigued.

Daily reminder that the LTTE did nothing wrong

The Netherlands and Belgium hardly get the attention they diserve. They are much smaller and far less populated compared to other European giants yet their history can easily rival theirs.

Ireland deserves some credit as far as underdog nations go

>Tiny, irrelevant, sparsely populated island on the edge of Europe
>Oppressed by England since forever
>Manages to be a constant thorn in the side of the Eternal Anglo anyway
>Per capita probably contributed more to poetry, literature and saints than anywhere else.
>One of two countries to fight a war of independence against the British Empire and win, the other being America.

>created the tamil tigers and embroiled sri lanka in a civil war for decades
>later switched sides and saved sri lanka from being BTFO
>helped remove the anti-indian leader Rajapakse during elections
>now in defacto control of sri lanka

india has BTFO sri lanka

So in de facto control they're still selling out to the chinese
C'mon pajeet you can't even keep hold of one tiny third world country just bordering your own, I think it's time to drop the delusions and admit India superpower is a meme

>So in de facto control they're still selling out to the chinese


sri lankans hate the chinks

>C'mon pajeet you can't even keep hold of one tiny third world country just bordering your own,

>what is the BLA
>what is the TTP
>what is the MQM

we've got pakistan under control

>I think it's time to drop the delusions and admit India superpower is a meme

'no'

dont lie, none of your poo brothers can resist the big chinese bank account

And even if they do hate the chinese, they still probably hate you more

so all I got from this is that india randomly started a civil war and then backstabbed their own people fighting in sri lanka for no reason
nice job

we're a democracy so we're automatically better than chinks

once the sri lankans do get tired of chinks, the US and India will overthrow chinese dominance in Asia. We might even save you from your punjabi army, Abdul :^)


it's called asserting dominance over the weak

>poo delusions

Pakistan saved Sri Lanka, China to some extent, even Slovakia more than you

>India refuses to sell weapons to sri lanka and throws hissy fits when they buy from elsewhere while allowing the other guys to recover in their camps in India

>It is not the first time that Pakistan is helping Sri Lanka militarily to fight LTTE terrorists. Back in year 2000 when LTTE offensive code-named Operation Oyatha Alaikal (Operation Ceaseless Waves) overran Sri Lankan military positions in the north and captured the Elephant Pass Base and entered Jaffna; it was feared that LTTE would run down thousands of Sri Lankan troops stationed in Jaffna, Sri Lanka sought MBRLs from Pakistan. According to Jane's Intelligence Digest, weapons and ammunition, including artillery shells and multi-barrel rocket launchers, were airlifted in an emergency operation from Karachi to Colombo in May.

poo in loo

>go to Sri Lanka
>cant tell the difference between natives and Tamils
>both dravidian hyperniggers
I literally can't stop laughing at pooloo politics.

bump for genuine interest

bump heil sri lanka

some sinhalese look alright
tamils though... *shudder*
speaking from just those i've seen at my uni though

>ethnic, language and religion based conflict requires genetic difference
Japs killed gooks and chinks all the same

That said the difference is pretty easy to see; curryniggers and nigger-niggers
>some look alright
>indians

lol
maybe the 1% at your uni are the upper castes that look decent, but the majority of both look, well, not good

Unless you meant the native veddahs, only the tamils are dravidians

>maybe the 1% at your uni are the upper castes that look decent, but the majority of both look, well, not good
That's a pretty good generalization of over 1 billion people.

I know plenty of upper caste and lower caste indians that look damn good.

Please insert poo in loo

>250 million people
>literally no one cares

The only reason I even heard of indonesia is because I was playing EU4 as France and I sailed my fleets around africa and india and I was like wtf are all these islands.

Maybe if all central american states united, just maybe, they could beat out motherfucking mcdonald's GDP
Maybe

The Boers and Afrikaners history as a whole is largely unknown to the layman.

Ofc the Sri Lankans are 100% pure Aryan and not genetically indistinguishable from Bengalshits.

>people

That's debatable.
