NEW DELHI: A top US envoy on Monday (Oct 12) called China “an elephant in the room” and said Washington is keen to advance India’s interests across the Indo-Pacific region.
Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun said the US was exploring ways to empower India without altering what he called New Delhi's “strong and proud tradition of strategic autonomy"....
“India has a strong and proud tradition of strategic autonomy, and we respect that. We do not seek to change India’s traditions,” he said. “Rather we want to explore how to empower them and India’s ability to defend its own sovereignty and democracy and to advance Indian interests, across the Indo-Pacific region.”
Above is from an AP article in CNA. Stirring shit and stoking for wars is the forte of the menace of the world. Now seizing the opportunity to fan the ego of India to front the American attack on China. And India loves it, dying for the attention of the Americans and to prove to the world it has arrived as a super power to take on China.
The thing is who is going to war and who is going to die? After being in the cold for so long with world news only about China and the US, India finally find its way to get some attention by starting a few aggressive moves along the borders with China in Ladakh. India is now in the picture and being courted by the Americans with promises of more arms to fight China.
The interests of both India and the US coincide and more sparks could fly if the Americans pull the right strings to flatter the Indian ego and dreams of become a superpower. Standing up to China and boasting about preemptive strikes against China go a long way to impress the Americans and Indian pride.
Historically it is always the bigger powers that would provoke and start a war with a weaker enemy, just like the Americans going everywhere threatening every country and wanting to start a war with smaller countries. But with the backing of the world menace, the evil Empire, smaller countries also think it is ok to provoke and attack big powers like China. Some silly Asean countries think so, and India also thinks so.
All they are asking is to be whacked by China just like silly Vietnam thinking too big of itself, wanting to take Chinese territories along the Sino Vietnamese border and South China Sea islands. After being taught a bloody lesson in 1979, now not a whimper to be heard, and quietly withdrew from Cambodia and Laos and forfeited its IndoChina dream.
Now it is India's turn to attempt to pull the whiskers of the dragon. And the Americans happily pulling the strings from behind and shouting, 'Go India, go.' India still refused to admit that it is inferior to the PLA in everything and think this time it is more equipped to avenge their embarrassing defeat by China in 1962. That was such a humiliating event in the history of war. No army ever been defeated with hardly a fight and just run and run for their lives, dropping weapons and everything just to escape from the PLA. So today and everyday crowing about how they could defeat China with superior weapons and everything.
The Americans would be most happy to fulfill this wild Indian dreams. Go and fight China and become minced meat. The Americans would be supporting from behind with more weapons, but remember to pay, not for free, like the obsolete F21s, actually refurbished F1
Go India, go, you can win, you are the best, world best army no one can match.
Both are on their knees fighting COVID19. Who is going to be world No. 1 in infections? This is an opportunity for both to turn attention away from the real problem.
ReplyDeleteWhen two snakes get together, hissing sound is all we hear. A rattlesnake asking a black mamba to go and do their dirty work.
The Americans are fishing in troubled waters and the Indians are most willing to play the role as American's top fighting dog against China.
ReplyDeleteThe black cobra is most willing to be mesmerised by the professional pipe blower. When that special tune is blown from that bulb-shape flute, the black cobra just goes berserk and will perform anything anytime anywhere for that professional piper.
ReplyDeleteLet that snake black cobra have a taste of the Dragon's fury, probably be bbq or roasted or just 'turn tail & fled' as somboli spoke person said last week.
ReplyDeleteDuring the fist fight at Galwan Valley actually both sides did not have any fatality. The deaths of Indian soldiers were all due to cold in the freezing river that they fell in. But the Indians kept on hoping that there were casualties on the Chinese side to claim that they too hit back bravely and got even with the PLA.
ReplyDeleteIf not of the freezing water, the Indian soldiers would not have died. If not because of their lack of medical aid, the Indian soldiers would not have died.
There were no fatality on the PLA side as none of them fell into the river. Period.
Its so obvious even stupid can spot it from far away.
ReplyDeleteNo Surprise, its that liar in the State Dept out to do mischief against China. He told Foxnews (probably the only news media listening to his lies) that The PLA has amassed 60,000 troops along the Indo-China border and China is the only aggressor.
ReplyDeleteOf course, as all liars and troublemakers do to stir shit on one party against another when only bystanders, he is only telling half of the story. Interesting he didn't tell how many Indian troops were amassed at the same border and that India was the first party to reinforce with more military hardware and troops after the first skirmish back in May. Reports say Indian troops also took some strategic high points at the Chinese side of the border.
India and China have agreed to escalate tensions with meetings between their FMs and military personels. But here is the troublemaker in chief trying to stoke up tension for his and his bosses' benefit.
What exactly is his record as US SOS these 4 years other than lies? Oh, 2 Arab nations, UAE and Bahrain agreed to a peace agreement with Israel forsaking the interests of the Palestinians. But if we look at the reason behind it, it's because both are anti-Iranian which works to the scheme of warmonger US.
Come Nov 3. we hope the other side wins and this lump of lard, poor excuse for a human being even less a "diplomat" would be history. And he can hug his convid infected equally lump of lard boss and be just a footnote mention as 4 years of nightmare for Americans and the world.
Correction: India and China have agreed to DEESCALATE tensions.
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese city of Qingdao is testing all 9 million of its residents after 12 new coronavirus cases were detected.
ReplyDeleteOfficials found six symptomatic and six asymptomatic cases and traced them to a hospital that tends to treat foreign patients, the state-backed Global Times newspaper reported.
Life in China, where the virus was first detected, is mostly back to normal, but authorities move quickly and test widely when new cases are found.
China also tested the entire city of Wuhan, home to 11 million people, in May, when it was afraid the virus could spike there again.
Why Singapore never test the entire city of 5.8 million even after 9 months have gone by? Where is the efficiency Singapore has been boasting in the past?
Nowadays only efficient in collecting $millions ministerial salary but not efficient in performance any more? What has happened? Because can import foreign talons to replace Sinkies?
Even as the Covid-19 situation in Singapore stabilises and the country shifts its focus to economic recovery, it needs to stay open and connected to India.
ReplyDeleteSingapore, with its small domestic population of four million, has to assemble the "best possible team," from India, to stay useful and relevant to the world.
Top talent from India has also chosen to call Singapore home and allowed locals to collaborate with the best from India.
This will push China and India to be best friend. Hope will be a better world.
