To consign it (India) to a place outside that system did not appear to be strategically wise, and has not proven effective,

Looking from the outside, it may appear there is turmoil. On the inside, I can tell you, that is not the case.

Not much would happen to the outside of the body, ... Maybe some spots would appear on the skin, but all the air would be expelled from inside.

I was very upset and I consign these guys to hell.

Those who wish to appear wise among fools, among the wise seem foolish

I'm scratching my head and not sure what to make of it. Blue Lake is not strategically important to anyone.
