Re: Are We Ready for a Two-front War ?
I don't really see why the Maoists and Kashmir insurgency will be used by India to plan a war. At least as far as Maoists are concerned, it's really ours to lose. Why can we not clean up somethin that's completely within our borders, no one will buy that argument if we use it against China... it's m...
