If the objective is to maim india and if we capitulated, then the olive branch extension will have the opposite effect. Why not keep both the borders hot, given our tendency to capitulate?
I don’t understand the CPEC bit that you mentioned, what’s india doing with CPEC beyond protesting?
I don’t think india would fund an anti-America militia in response to a ship passing through our EEZ. The right response is diplomatic. I am glad that we follow an escalation matrix and not indulge in international proxy wars. As an example of a legal escalation matrix, had any lives been lost (even 1% of what the drone strikes resulted in), we would have upped the ante. The case of the Italian marines who fired at a fishing vessel in india is an example-
Italian marines receive immunity from prosecution in India – DW – 07/03/2020
Two marines spent years in detention in India on charges of murdering two Indian fishermen. A tribunal ruled the marines had immunity but that India could seek compensation from Italy for the loss of life and property.www.google.com.au
How would that have opposite effect? India has already agreed on seize fire on LOC, all noises about Azad Kashmir and gilgit baltistan have gone quite, the macho hindu strong man Modi has now talking peace with PMIK, Huawei has strengthen its foot print in India, etc etc . All these developments are post conquering of 1200 sq km of Indian claimed territory by PLA.
And yes, India has done no harm to American dominated anglo saxons group of nations, rather it's been a very loyal puppy. Its perplexing to see India getting this public humiliation. Very strange.
