India-China 2020 Border conflict

[DownWithCCP]

More than thinking about what will happen after Biden comes to power(seems more likely now) we must stay alert right now when there seems to be a temporary(maybe extended?) period of political instability. The situation is extremely fluid and it may motivate China( albeit quite foolishly) to do something funny.

So, it begins.

U.S. judge unsure if he has grounds to issue new TikTok injunction

A U.S. judge said on Wednesday he was uncertain if he had a legal basis to bar the U.S. Commerce Department from imposing restrictions on video-sharing app TikTok after a Pennsylvania judge had already blocked the government's plan on Friday.

@Hellfire is a true Indian, he spends more time looking inward just like million others on SM rather than finding loopholes in our adversaries & friends which is hardly done by even a hundred people in the country.

 

[Spindrift]

Its more like our policy is NOT to have any policy around this subject.

Yes, Modi grossly miscalculated that Trump will win a second term, and dragged his feet on many strategic matters. We had many opportunities to fundamentally reshape Asia between March 2020 and now. All gone. Now even cross-border surgical strikes into Pakistan will invite angry phonecalls from DC.

On the flip-side, Modi-Jaishankar's decision to not make any stupid gaali-galoch statements against China means that we can still mend ties. That was a nice hedge.

Biden is yet to take the office. Like you, I have my own reservations. But for now let's calm down nias. First let's see his policy viz a viz our adversaries during initial months, then we all can sit together and discuss what level of a bitch he is.

Imagine if Ashok Swine and Laundry Tuske were POTUS and V-P.

That's Biden-Harris.

Kamala Harris represents the absolute worst Christian-missionary dravidian mindset possible. The "allow these NGOs or face economic sanctions" type.

The only way forward for India vis a vis Pakistan is to ignore what the US thinks or says, and handle it the way it sees fit.

Tensions will pick up soon in Tawang frontier... unpredictable trump did form a synthetic net over Indo Tibetan border..
May Pawanputr Hanuman gives strength and vijayashree to our Braves...

what strategic reshaping that could have been done between Mar 2020 and now, during a pandemic?

Join NATO. Or make QUAD an Asian NATO. If you go to Biden and ask for something like that, you'll get "Okay, well let's call Pakistan in too."

First surgical strike in Sep 2016 happened while obama was president, nothing happened.

USa is going to be ignored on porki front ... as India will lose active Trump govt support against chini aggression ...
Biden is more or less hillary lite ... chinese will get more space to show thr new found arrogance

Demorats would have given blatant warnings in case Mirages were being readied for balakote..

Trump govt did provide more or less supportive role to Indian mili action

Obviously you are joking about NATO.

QUAD is a Japanese idea supported by U.S, they never explicitly claimed it is going to be a military alliance. it is just an alliances of democracies, will take shape as situation demands in the future.

Agree. There is nothing worst than Kamala, for India and the USA. Biden is clueless most of the time, and also there is no guarantee he'll serve the full term. Even if he does, most of his decision will be made by Harris and AOC plus 3.

"Mend ties" huh what is that really you @tarunraju ? somebody must have hacked his account.

 

[prasadr14]

I have a different take,

If all it takes for US to go all rogue on us was just change in govt, then it was wise for us to stay away from them strategically.

What's the point of being in Quad or something even more appealing....if Democrats would continue their support for Pakis and Chinkies?

Only hope here is that foreign policy of most countries are a continuum irrespective of changes in govt.
If this is not true, diplomats would have a really tough time negotiating.

Look at this this way, if Biden govt tries to act smart with India,
It's not Biden govt doing it but US govt doing it....
At which point US (Biden govt) would lose faith of Modi govt, not sure who would come out worse in that case.

Dont think Modi govt will take anything against India's interests rest assure no christo islamic NGOs going to be unbanned ...
