I never claimed India is 'terrible'. India is doing what it should -- pursuing its national interests. It just so happens, judging by events, that India's national interests see it aligning itself more with China's enemies in the West than with China itself.
(One-off deviances like climate change don't count).
China may see itself in the context of a grand showdown between Asia and the West, but India clearly doesn't see it that way.
no, it's not asia vs. the west, many asian countries have already been bought/conquered such as SK and japan, and many others to our south are trying to find the right price. we all know india's interests are aligned with the west right now. our difference is in how we solve this problem.
i'm proposing solving it at the root. in a school fight, the stupid gangs always beat up the small gangsters, foolishly thinking they can set an example of them, but the boss doesn't ever care about the small gangsters, and they'll eventually be trapped, surrounded, and beat up. the smart gangs will directly beat up the enemy gang boss, knowing that if the gang boss goes down he'll order his little brothers to calm down.
you are proposing to beat up a small time gangster the boss doesn't care about. so let me ask, why won't hte boss just hire a new gangster to replace him? beat the new one up? he'll hire 3 more and they'll beat you up. this is why i sigh every time people say conquer south korea, yes they're annoying, but you can't occupy them and with japanese/american help they'll be back in 10 years, so why bother, directly kill it at the source and the little brothers won't dare squeek.
