Re: India's Border Security with China and Pakistan-2020 - Part 2

The right of a nation to remain Independent isn't determined by if there is a bully around. It should be based on whether they have a unique culture and civilisation that can be self sustaining and flourish independently. Bhutan is such a unique kingdom and India should help it remain independent. W...

It is very easy to cripple China's logistics chain - esp the Tibet railway and 219 highway. Few precision missile or LGB on select areas chosen for difficulty in reconstruction would do the trick. It would cripple them for months. Their toy drones in rarefied Tibetan air cannot ferry much more than ...

If India holds full control over the southern side of Ponding Tso, then we should make it the default LAC and let Cheen continue to occupy fingers 5-8 as part of a face saving formula for them. This is likely more tactically advantageous for us getting patrol rights to fingers 5 to 8.
