Ties strained as India cuts fuel subsidy to Bhutan

[Sabir]

I think we have seen the only half of the move...... Subsidy is removed and it will be back within few days to complete the move...just to give a reminder to Bhutan PM.

what kind of geographical advantage can bhutan give india in case of a war with chins?

It will be the buffer that India lost in Tibet being independent because of the silly pacifism of Nehru.

Once bitten, twice shy!

This is the area of concern!

I'm sure the IAS staff will love having IA troops camped on the Bhutan-India border be replaced with PLA troops. Quite a decent trade for a few dollars and cents

actually it will be a good change as our people on this side of the border will regularly get to see State Sponsored Circus organised by the PLA within Bhutan border..

I hope that would be the case but the fact is, India can't lose neighbors to China. We've already lost Nepal which was an essential buffer. SL also trying to challenge India by giving Chinese some space. China is practically encircling India and also helping Maoists. We need to act wisely.

Free money is what small nations are looking for. China provides that. Bhutan is crucial for Indian security. A few million dollars would not have made any difference for India to keep their population on our side.

Absolutely, our economy is in mess because of govt's populist moves. If we can't afford tactical alliances, that would be a shame and an indicator how messed up our economy is...

When did India get so self conceited? Once Bhutan tilts towards China the situation will get irredeemable, just look at cases of SL, Maldives... And the loss can't be measured in money terms. Don't be over confident to take the risk!

Old miser India'd better cancel its ill advised decision, and beg Bhutan to accept the "subsidy" like before.

All your friends are bought. Puckystan, NK, SL and whatever little influence in Nepal Burma etc. When you run out of money, and you will, you will run out of friends too.

Exactly....And we dont need to bother about these small neighbours who are so fond of China Card. Just assume there was never such buffer states between us and our mighty neighbour.

Of course. Buying friends is the normal mode of international relations...

That's not true. Russia, France, Sweden, etc. are all happy to call themselves India's friends, so long as India keeps buying their wares.

How conveniently you can defecate your hypocrisy in a single thread ?

Trade is a normal mode of international relationships, buying stooges and proxies is not, rather it is called pimping. Look for example Pakistan how everyday she changes its partners for dolled out money.
