Those are islands that pose no threat to the US and that the US has the ability to take them down as per their will. So they do have strategic hegemony should they choose to exercise it.
What about others? Like China, EU, Russia?
On the other hand, India is already contained in cold war terms by being the only nation on plant earth, surrounded by 2 nuclear powers - both hostile!
You can use your Indian logic and overlook this factor - be my guest.
India and China are not hostile. They are competitors, yes but not enemies.
Pakistan is enemy of every country that borders it. We have factored it in and it doesn't impact anything for us significantly.
It will come to it's senses soon. Sharif's victory on the "friendship with India" platform shows that.
How long can a country live just on hate!
At the cost of 1 Billion dead hindus -They can be rebuilt, we don't worship stones you see - killing every hindu in India means zero problems for the region. Something our ancestors should have done long time ago, too bad they didn't think about it. Its an unfinished business we need to look after. Historic baggage you know
You do. You worship stones and Arabs.
What do you think is that thing that you kiss over there?
And it is great to see the burning hatred and self loathing. A great peaceful and tolerant ideology of the ideological state.
So who are your ancestors anyway? All those primitive nomads?
It is funny but sad at the same time. So much hatred, mostly impotent...
All it does is turn inward and the same thing is exploding within Pakistan with 50,000 already dead and the country on the brink.
Anyway, one hope this illness of hatred and self loathing and this impotence gets cured. You may be our self loathing apostates but we don't kill our apostates.
