I hope we stop as soon as possible the appeasement policy toward China. Neville Chamberlain, the former british prime minister, who advanced the appeasement policy, just to please Adolf Hitler. we all know what came after.

As long as we could have anything as detergent for Northern threat.
Beijing get losses once Vietnam followed other superpower. They also know that.

I´m afraid what we have now and plan for the future for our army is too litle to discourage chinese from their aggression against vietnam. don´t make wrong assumption. the imbalance of powers between them and us is huge. we should close as soon as possible a military agreement with america and japan. chinese hostile attitude has never changed. they will come again, destroy our cities, killing our people. Japan and S Korea economies prosper under the US military umbrella. Why should´t we follow?

the open question is how we will re-arrange our relationship to Russia. that is difficult to answer now.

You must grab firmly both two big tree branches before deciding to release one or another, while teasing the underwaiting tiger .

Indonesia and India both make good move among the fire line.

China will never dare to attack India because it is a military power, having nuclear weapons. Indonesia has no stakes in the SC Sea. No reason for China to attack them.

Very right. I'm concerned that the air force is not getting enough planes. Everything is too little, too late. Need to have alliances and try to have a balanced relationship with Russia. I think it can be done, the Americans keep making suggestions about having closer ties. Need to act on it.

Not really, the 11 dash line cuts into the Natuna islands EEZ, Its a low key situation for now, but the Indonesians are nervous about that.
