a) Yep, India indulged China a lot......but everything came to a naught.....
b) Cold war is not fought in India's borders....so, India had the luxury of non-alignment. It is no longer the case now. India has to choose sides.
PS: You seem to be from India. Why do you cheer anti-indian posts? Why...
@Joe Shearer - I did not mean that just reading a book makes one knowledgeable...your posts make me think that you have military background + knowledgeable. You are far more knowledeable.
PS: I know this post has no value, but could not resist.
You read Talbott's book?? - great. Your posts show that you are very knowledgeble.
Although, I believe that your bias against Modi / BJP is very misplaced.....I would like to know what, in your opinion, are India's options w.r.t china now?
PS: I too read Talbott's book....:-)
My 0.0000002 cents....
a) India is not fighting Nepal. Nepal has it's own interests. Nepal saw a chance to claim some additional land, and they used that oppurtunity. No body is anyone's brother.
b) 20+ million bangladeshis have crossed over to India. They are having children, and most have...
Let's assume you had an upper hand this round. Would you think that will be the case always? Remember - wars are dangerous and unpredictable. Just like Pak is no walk over to India, India is no walk over to China.
Modi spent enormous effort to improve relations with China. All that came to a...
Why do you think Americans encouraged India?
Modi govt has improved road infrastructure all across India. It improved road infrastructure in the border areas as well. Chinese did not like it. They came and sat in disputed territories......and this lead to stand-off.
How / where Americans are...
After many years of "discussions", I figured that everyone will believe what they want to believe.....if you are really up to it, please use internet.
I too agree - India has very fundamental flaws - being a democracy when it is poor + being socialist. It is a HUGE drawback.
You mean - give away the mountain peaks?? may not happen.
Herez my predictions:
a) India will de-escalate, but will not capitulate.
b) India will massively invest in infrastructure around borders.
c) India will start building massive military industrial complex.
d) China has lost 5g market in...
*Nepal has it's own interests. No one is another's brother in real world. If religion is a bond between nations, then how come many other nations having same religion fight among themselves.
*Hasina is not a puppet of India. She has her own interests. It is just she does not define her / her...
PM Modi has spent enormous effort in improving relations with China. Seems like it did not work.
Don't you think India was indulging China with huge trade deficits etc? You are willing to risk all that? These kinds of incidents remind 1962 again. Please note that 1962 is permanently stamped on...
Question - Is it possible to see all posts of @PanzerKiel at one single place Vs going thru all the threads?
@Joe Shearer - Your posts are nice. Keep them going. Thanks. Although - I believe your hatred / dislike for everything BJP / Modi is misplaced.
a) Pakistanis may not want to believe it. But, India, under Manmohan Singh & under Narendra Modi, tried to better relationship ship with Pak [without giving away kashmir]. It did not work.
b) So, Modi has spent lot of energy in improving relations with China. It did not work either. However, I...
Any chinese members or any other knowledgeable members. Please answer the following questions:
a) Why is china doing these incursions? What do they gain from it? Is it worth risking a huge Indian market.
b) China may loose indian market [with $50B trade surplus favouring china]. Is China willing...

a) Is there a good *chance* that MK1A & MWF will be ready in-time? I know this is a difficult question to answer, but is the work going full-stream?
b) Is it going to be retractable probe from MWF? why so, when even Rafale has non-retractable probe? They tried the same for LCA Mk1 as well. My...
[If I may]
(a) you guys are not understanding Narendra Modi.....Modi is a genious......Modi clearly knows that elections (in India) can not be won by wars (contrary to what you think - no politician can win an election in India purely on war reasons)........Modi knows that economy is the key...
