Some posts were moved from the Chit Chat thread here, as requested by the member. @Swesh Kindly use this thread for relevant discussion. Thread Title changed. Good flag BTW. The security cooperation dimension is getting more visible now.

Total 21 papers cum articles, many co-authored and referenced from others authors; couple of them with disclaimers. Read through 3. Found it to be mundane. Couldn’t understand what he meant by soft nuclear deterrence. Paper on think tank is a high school drop out essay. Papper on bilateral...

Looks like a digital coolie who relay messages but do not have gall to respond. His father seems to have got all the best brain cells. Quite a normal biological phenomenon when highest IQ is achieved the next one comes out to be dumb.

Chinese will never grow balls to attack any Anglo nation especially Australia which is magnet for its citizens who flock towards its shores in thousands every year. Just few minutes ago on another thread I talked about Chinese cognitive block and behaviour which gives them a diabolic trait to...

I wrote it here at DFI that Australia is crawling with Chinese spies. They are everywhere. The whole campaign agains Adani coal is sponsored by Chinese assets in Australia. I will be not surprised if many such article will be written to create doubt among ordinary joes. If you read the language...

BTW who is this Dhruva Jaishankar? 2011 read, can not find. For consistency sake I have mentioned about it here at DFI. May be few old members can remember or I will search and see if I can find. Correction: Against Japan in WW2.

That idiot is living in his basement without sunlight. The Himalayan wall has been already breached and we are looking at PLA eye ball to eye ball. What a moron. Last time I read a paper on Australian war plans against Japan. They were happily surrendering everything above Brisbane.

BTW no analyst in India has made any credible point on this incident. They all are confused or too cynical to either paint a rosy picture or ominous. OTOH DFI members have done incredible job by bringing about a lot of information and examples to decipher it.

France is very important piece which must act independently to check American grab of the market. Market monopoly means they will have huge room to play their geopolitical games, disruptions and run blackmail syndicate. Like I said before Australia after Trump’s pulling out from TPP lost all...

Do people still eat subway?

. NATO has already got Indo-Pacific covered and has working mechanism between all the allies to mind its key frontiers and lanes. QUAD as per India is not a military alliance. Why Indian analysts saw it this way is beyond my understanding. Maybe we got too excited following PLA transgressions...

Nuclear or non nuclear notwithstanding the doctrine of having subsurface strike capabilities is all about carrying the strike package safely and deliver it. Furthermore the doctrine is shaped by the kind of adversary you have or the ‘overwhelming’ factor of his capabilities. If your adversary...

They have all the ingredients to start an advance MIC to cater their needs. It is just a matter of time and priorities they deem fit. More Chinese threat will become perceptible more they will start moving towards JV’s and start absorbing technologies. Highly skilled population already using a...

Protecting sea lanes is a very costly assignment. With increased PLAN activity Australia was forced to start protecting its trade routes, littoral waters and beyond. Out classed and thinned out badly they wanted to improve their profile and got stuck with French submarine deal. Since USA has...

I think I missed some points made here on Australia becoming regional power comparable to India and China. The motion was against this possibility. Sorry, Australia is on a very strong trajectory to become a regional military power.

I brought in civilisational perspective into the debate soon Taliban started to surround Kabul and Pakistanis started to celebrate. https://defenceforumindia.com/threads/india-in-afghanistan-regional-diplomacy-and-interests-after-us-withdrawal.82850/post-2016602

Quad was/is never a military alliance. No other than Indian EAM himself has said it. I do not know why people are jittery about US Australia deal. NZ will be first to send it's soldiers for any expedition lead by US. There will be no nuclear subs in NZ water has no real meaning but a librandu...
