Indo-China Border & LAC

[Azaad]

Pinoy is not a bully but a very courageous dog belonging to an indifferent master, same as Ukraine.

It's an unusual case. Had China been more accomodating of the Philippines things would've been different. But then that could be said about practically all the neighbouring countries of China vis a vis China.

When the war comes Philippines will be pulverized but given its proximity to Taiwan , the US intends to use it as a staging ground to prevent the successful invasion of Taiwan as well as to target China from it . It's not as if China's going to escape what's coming to it .

Looks more a case of - hum toh doobe sanam .......

If you ask me , Chinese foreign policy & strategies in spite of their 3 millennia of hegemony in East Asia & all those strategic treatises & masters who've written it that they've produced is dog sh!t . The key to winning wars of this nature have always been allies . That's one of the key reasons among others, the Allies won WW-2 .

Few things that irks me -

• We have given up the control of PP14, and we will patrol till the opposite bank of PP14.
  
  
  
  
  
  The red patches you see (Chinese tents post Galwan clash) is actual PP14. The opposite bank is till where we will patrol. While you can argue it doesn't matter (hardly 50m), thing is we will be essentially losing control of area ahead of the curve.

But crossing the stream to PP14 is not easy.. and our boys.. laid out kind of make shift rope bridge to cross the stream.. and thats what got the Chinese mad before the Galwan clash in 2020.. Wading the stream is risky when flows are strong..

"The buffer zones were not touched in the patrolling agreement as it would have reopened the entire issue and could have created new problems. The reached patrolling agreement was confined only to the Western Sector as both the Indian Army and PLA had blocked each other in Depsang and Demchok"

Okay, so are they setting up defenses and underground facilities BEHIND those so called buffer zones or not?? I couldn't find anything significant on our side in Google maps, but then again, I don't have the best eyes when it comes to stuff like this.

That 0.001% is Taiwan,I hope that becomes true. Hope that our Armed Forces and Govt are aware of that 99.999%,unlike 1962.

Armed forces - they shall be to some extent. Fear is bureaucrats and politicos finding reason to slash budgets after some period of time to fund some freebee.

Babus are a curse upon this nation. So are those damned freebies.
