HAHAHAHAHA GTFO. Where did I say anything about gobbling? I said I don't see them as viable in the long run as things go downhill in the India-China border and China increasingly starts putting its tentacles into and around them.
At that point, either we'll manage mergers, or watch them get taken over formally or informally.
By the way, Nepal and Bhutan currently aren't gobbled up - has that stopped SL from playing you off of China/giving up multiple key strategic assets, or stopped the rabid surge of Islamism and its resulting detrimental activities towards India in Bangladesh? Are the Chinese not working on developing strategic facilities in the Coco Islands gifted by Nehru to Myanmar?
Friendship/warming up comes from strength, the iron fist in the velvet glove, not being a pusillanimous cuck.
Either use your handful of brain cells before interacting with me, or STFU.
