No one going to listen to Sri Lanka, even UN is not cared for. Russian and Chinese warnings will have effects. U S and Isreal would achieve their aims.

Yes, it is better for our Govt. to focus on domestic issues and leave international politics to the bigger powers.

Does anyone remember the Uma Oya project? Generating 120MW. The controversy? Samantha Vidyaratne? Just a train of humble thought. Because a friendly country is in trouble.

What else did it say? Maybe about an arrest of a puppet used to cause carnage to come to power? About how the co-conspirarors are doing one press interview after another to try to save themselves and the puppet masters?
