Sounds appropriate.
Also, why is Eric Stalwell still alive? He slept with a Chinese spy and gave up confidential information.
It's actually a really bad policy. You have to remember things are generally "tit for tat", and now India could well execute some Qatari "spies".
The likelihood of escalation into war is generally why spies/diplomats are expelled rather than killed.
True, that's one of the things that simmered down the cold War, that if spies were caught you'd be able to trade them back.
Unlike the US where they care more about foreign nationals than natives, these countries don't fuck around.
archive nigga
(also archive puts me in an infinite recaptcha loop if I'm on waterfox with ublock running)
And that is another reason why I don´t use archive, I use a VPN and I always get a recaptcha when I visit archive. But the main reason is because I like to see the source of the URL before I click on it.
Digging around it looks like they were all working for the same IT outsourcing company. Makes you wonder how much of our military tech design and info is bleeding out with all the DOD outsourcing.
Didn't Canada just a few months back say India's spies killed a Canadian politician who held anti-Indian views? Or something close to that effect? Was in the news for a while with tensions raised. If a nation like Canada is saying things like that, I can see other, weaker, less alliance-protected nations being overzealous in their safeguarding against the such spycraft. More than likely they're just being murderous for the sake of being murderous, but they have a clear example they can point at as the reason for their actions.
Must be so good have your country actually serve punishment to its enemies.
8 fewer pakis. Good, I hope they fight each other to extinction, too.
