India is not US. Just because US can do it does not mean India could do the same.
I love when people under estimate India specially when they rant as well.
In Asia, Independent India has done better things to protect democracies and has changed maps, better than USA could. The prime example is Bangladesh and Maldives.
US has been supplying weapons to Taiwan, but you don't see China supplying weapons to Cuba, why? because that's the way it is..............................................................................................................
LOl, yes its the way it should be for China but not for India. Indians have saner heads to presume with whom we could have possibility of war. Your Cuba China example is over stretching of imagination.
China do not have spine to go against USA. American were ready for nuclear war and battlefield both, against Russia who was supporting Cuba. China is not ready for the same till today. Anyone can count the numbers of unassembled nukes China has on its fingers.
It is India who has not bent to any pressure to sign CTBT/NTP, refused American planes for refills during both gulf wars. Condemned Israel's attack on flotilla with Palestine aid; upfront. First and biggest aid provider to Palestine people after recent Israel offences. Few months back supported Pakistan floods with more aid than what China did. Our think tanks still have the guts to condemn radical whhabi Islam in front of Saudi Arabian diplomats. India has never tried to change the English definition sovereignty like Chinese proxy Pakistan did. Just recently I heard that Asian superpower China during Asian games sucked big time of a Arab nation and changed the name of Persian gulf to Arabian gulf.
Anyhow my post was a mine trap to bring out troller withing you . I am very well aware of what these Muslim nations are capable of doing militarily or politically against India. Your theory of Isreal India friendship and animosity of Muslim world is a epic failure.We are dealing with Israel for a long time. We have better relationship with countries like UAE, Oman, Saudi Arabia; doing business very well, just singed couple of billion dollar trade. If you want to name few more nations from that part of the world then i will say not worthy to mention. Whom else would you mention, yemen, Iraq or Iran?
BTW if you know a bit of geography then i must tell you that we will not place our assets to block east Asia some where in red sea of Arabian sea so that these Muslim nation could plan counter on it. Straits of Malacca will do the trick for us. Please feel free to tell me the range of these latest plans flying some where from Tehran to Andaman Nicobar. We will chew them all before entering our waters.
