In times like these, we must really put our racial and cultural differences aside. Whether you are black, brown, yellow, jew or human, as long as you minecraft politicians, you have my full support.
 
Poll time:
Please rate this post feels :feels: if you're like me and couldn't point out where Sri Lanka is on the map.
And obviously rate it dumb (trash can emoji) if I'm just a total dunce. They have to be in Asia right, but christ I have no idea what part they're in.

Lie if you want, but I know for certain the majority of my fellow Americans have no fucking clue where Sri Lanka is. Hell I bet many have never heard of it.

Wow, turns out it's right under India. Never would have guessed that.
 
So long as Chinese citizens and their investments are not the focus of violence, China likely won't step in to restore peace.

There are some mind boggling developments I've seen ads for at the Colombo international airport, when last touring the country a decade ago. Many were artificial islands for luxury apartments, no-doubt funded by Chinese investors. It didn't make sense that they wanted to build them in Ceylon of all places; people still live in mud huts over there.

That's gonna be the question, Sri Lanka is just done for completely what's interesting is who gets to pick the pieces.
Does China just scoop up the rubble and turn it into Little-China or does India assert dominance and doesn't let the Chinese creep any further onto the middle east.
Whoever wins the Sri Lanka civilians loose

Out of the two, becoming a little piece of China wouldn't be so bad of an outcome, compared to the Indian alternative.

India occupation would be backed by the US tho so there would be cash coming from there and god knows this administration is more than happy to send the entire budget abroad

From what I understand Sri Lanka has close ties with China now, meaning if anything it gives room for India to assert more influence. However it plays out, I suspect it’ll worsen ties between India and China.

If Sri Lanka does truly collapse, I honestly can see a situation where India de facto annexes the island under the guise of restoring peace and order. Don't get me wrong, it won't be altruism on the part of India, but to keep the horde of starving refugees from flooding the mainland.

India has been getting pissed at China for menacing to cut one of their major water supplies by building dams on top of general Chinese assholery like marching troops on the skirts of their borders with other countries and announcing plans to take more ground around India would probably motivate them to scoop Sri Lanka since they have the proximity and cultural roots advantage
I don't think both want an all out conflict because of the sheer devastation it would cause even without nukes so i don't see this escalating, it'll probably just be a race to see who gets there first

Anyone wanna bet if this "Sri Lanka Collapse" thread will become a "2nd Sri Lanka Civil War" thread?

Well I would guess that all of the Tamil Tigers who they didn't kill are looking at this as a golden opportunity to start up some shit again.
 
I am truly saddened and concerned in these troubled times and I'd like to say on behalf of the American people when it comes time for these displaced peoples seeking refuge-NOT IT, TAKE EM AWAY UK.
 
I have to quote myself from the A&N thread:
