India is turning into more and more of a shame recently all due to this US-puppet attitudes.
I agree that caution is needed when dealing with them, but your own country is completely in US pockets through NATO which is a binding agreement. Not to mention 80% of your equipment is US-made or US-partner made. Which means if you go really against them, they can ground your military with a snap of fingers.
Your entire air force is run by them. Imagine not being able to fly a single aircraft without their nod.
That, my friend, is being called a puppet / bound by agreements etc, whatever you wish to call it.
They should stand "against" US rather than "by" them.
And why is that?
We have no direct enmity with the Americans
They are not an immediate threat to us (maybe in the future but no one can tell).
They know why we are courting them and we know why they are accepting our approach. If it benefits both of us in the short-to-medium-runs, why not?
The agreements we have with US are on a as-is-when-is basis and not a binding alliance.
War is too serious a matter to be left to the generals.
As i said, I am not a fan of the US. I do not think Generals have what it takes to make policies. They live in a cocoon.
Yes and the moronic defence ministers that have run the country's defence policies are smart aren't they? Mulayam Yadav, AK Anthony, George Fernandes, Menon and all these? Fernandes was the better one among them but tell me, could they do half of what a well-aware general do/
He will still need President's and Cabinet's clearance to go ahead. But the plan could be drawn up by him.
What you are saying is like saying that let the accountants decide what the engineers need in a construction firm.
