Coming back to the point of this thread, do you all think that this is even relevant after US having Diego Garcia in IOR? I don't think so.
Diego Garcia is a good point to use Bombers,but it is useless in a naval sense in providing any choke points.Coming back to the point of this thread, do you all think that this is even relevant after US having Diego Garcia in IOR? I don't think so.
If you think that article represents most "Hindus" in India (or outside) and reflects upon modern India then I can only feel sorry about it. Point is, the Hindu caricature of a caste is about as prevalent as the racist caricature of Europeans. Sure it was true a hundred years ago, but it is not so relevant anymore. The new generations have better things in mind than such caricature - like IPL or Hindi Movies or getting a job in a multinational company. You can make caricatures of those and they will be better representations of modern India and Hindus.BTW, the above-mentioned article should apply to at least 80% of Indians.
Why is that? Can't you base a carrier battle group their and create a choke point around the Malaya straits?Diego Garcia is a good point to use Bombers,but it is useless in a naval sense in providing any choke points.
It is possible but would you want to place valuable assets in the middle of nowhere?? If things got hot it may not be a bad idea but a little further North towards the subcontinent would be ideal.Why is that?

Point taken. We all have our personal thresholds, and I wont judge anybody else in this respect.To be honest with you, The US is a great place but I wouldn't want to live there either. I can go back there to visit again my relatives but that's about it.
That's cute. But it doesn't change the fact that Malaysia is an ethnocentric pseudo-democracy with institutionalised racism, it just reinforces it.We were taught that the need to prioritise the Malays is necessary to maintain the country's relative social peace. When the majority is all secured (at least perception-wise) there is less grumblings about the apparent economic success of minorities like the ethnic Chinese. Had Dr. not instituted his radical Malay-first agenda Chinese businesses would have been burned down a long time ago.
Try something new.While we're at this topic, the following article is a thought-provoking read:

this would be a direct threat to india.india should never allow usa to take cocos.if necessary india should take them and may harbour us forces.
And this is what you wrote:coco islands belong to burma ,cocos to aussie
both names are similar
india should never allow usa to take cocos.if necessary india should take them and may harbour us forces.
i thought it is coco islands of burma which is near to india.which can be used to monitor the strategic Malacca strait as well as indian navywhile its difficult to monitor indian navy from cocos, its a very strategic position to deter chineseAnd this is what you wrote:
then where will you do regular maintenances?in the ocean?US already has Naval base in Diego Garcia in indian ocean region India has little to zero power to stop US from acquiring bases in the IOR region except those islands controlled by india secondly do US really need a base all they had to do is park their Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier its an island in itself carrying 75+ Aircraft well the name speaks for it self pointless 8 page discussion
There is a 20 optional extension for the lease.Diego Garcia lease time period is ending in 2016 for Americans . So will the British extend the lease of the base or return back the base to its right full owners ?
yup the maintenance is done in the ocean on an island called Diego Garcia which is a a full fledged naval support and maintenance base this base is the main support and maintenance facility for US navy in IOR regionthen where will you do regular maintenances?in the ocean?
not every thing can be done from sea.
true india can not do much stopping usa from acquiring bases,but china can
