great work gota. get all these good nations where the western world has attacked or tried to drown on our side. This is the key to fight our local terrorist war.
good luck sir.
This is what Sri Lanka needs. Have large forces such as Russia, Iran, India, Pakistan etc on our side. Forget the west. All they want is to destory small nations to ensure their stance. These policy makers are responsible for such acts and promoting terrorism in small nations.
Sri Lanka aligining themselves with other Terrorist nations proves the genocide tht they commit against the Tamils!
way to go
Interesting options...
GoSL is very strategic, i wonder who the brain behind it is? Def, not Mahinda!!
