Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020

Guys, Is this in our control? https://www.google.com/maps/@33.6699167,78.6818861,630m/data=!3m1!1e3 Yes looks like it. It also seems that the Chinese are rather weak on the southern bank of Pangong Tso; maybe their belligerence on the northern side comes from a fear that we could walk into Spanggur...

Not in Nampong of course. but somewhere in that Northern Myanmar region. Then followed a hiding path on NW Myanmar (and may be bordering laos). Myanmar as a country is most probably not be a party to this. But the druglords there probably have few facilities to rent.
