India-China 2020 Border Dispute - Military and Strategic Discussion

[neel9821]

Not a wise idea considering pandemic and our economic conditions now.
We don't need an all out confrontation now.
Our best result would be restoration of April status quo.

Do you mean vacating the tops and reversing the economic measures that are taken by GoI?

I am not saying that we should go for war but we should definitely drive home the advantage and extract maximum flesh.

The Chinese cannot be trusted no matter what.

Status quo in military terms not economy.
We can't risk/afford more than 15-20 days war in current economic climate.

So , I am in favour of April status quo in military engagement.

The Chinese government doesn't yet understand that they are playing with fire, and have underestimated the willpower of the Indian people. The simple fact is that you cannot stop 1.35 billion people with a few hundred thousand troops when those people get united behind a cause. That's the real power of democracy. If you kill one Indian, ten more will rise to take their place in defending the country. That's 1.35 billion new enemies of the Chinese government and PLA, which is why they are done.

Status Que means loss of face for Xi and that will have some serious repercussions for him. Be it South China Sea or in CCP and on top of that he will have aggressive Indian army to deal with. He has to somehow show this whole gambit as victory for PLA which in my opinion is only possible if GoI agrees (may cost BJP and Modi dearly). Xi’s whole game was based on the calculation that India will remain in reactive mode and not do any pro-active moves. Now since we have changed the rules of the game, we should only play only with our rules and not theirs

Moreover, There is no guarantee that China will respect any agreement.

Why Indians have openly attributed the name of the SFF and the personally KIA because there was a subtle warning to China
Till now we have been only on defensive offensive in terms of military
Offensive defensive in terms of trade
But we are still on defensive when it comes to diplomacy ..we still agree on one china policy
But this open admission changes everything , we have openly claimed that it was tibetians which have led the attack.. Any new misadventures from China will see us part from stupid one china policy and possible diplomatic offensive on Tibet and we have a ace in our hand ie Dalai lama
We can do a lot with his holiness ..invite international media to interview him ..start the Tibet radio etc ..
Instead of One China policy we will embrace FUCK CHINA policy

come on. do you really think a $3T economy can't fight a war for more than 15/20 days?
what will be per day expenses in a full fledged war? and where we will have to spend more and how much?
how long China will be able to sustain with a blocked Malacca?

if you answer these questions then we can continue.

We have the strategic depth to keep fighting indefinitely, until a Korean DMZ-like ceasefire line is installed. It will be bloody for both sides, and neither side (especially Xi) will be able to claim the upper hand.

It takes exactly 5 signatures to give Modi a $1.5 trillion war chest that's completely liquid, and the constitution allows emergency provisions (think forcing car factories to manufacture tanks), etc. We do have that industrial base.

We also have numbers on our side. Xi cannot commit more than 40% of his actives onto this theater before weakening other theaters (where his CCP rivals can pull off public unrest and upheaval).

Article says they first came with clubs and had to retreat because IA troops open fired in air. Then they came with APC and again had to retreat but the article doesn't give any reason.

So I am wondering did we fire Milan or Carl Gustaf to warm them.

"This time they came with their armoured personnel carriers, driving on their cemented road from Moldo to Rezang La. But this advance also came to a halt and was followed by a hasty retreat. The Indian troops were at a stone’s throw from the Moldo garrison, dominating each and every move of the PLA. The sight of anti-tank missiles and rocket launchers had deterred the move of the Chinese armoured personnel carrier and halted them in their tracks. "

Conflicting reports as Sunday guardian article says mountain strike corp is already deployed and involved in black top operation and zee news article says just arrived
Also April status Quo ain't feasible now... Go for war or just maintain aug status Quo and highly doubt CCP and PLA gonna accept being vulnerability of moldo garrison. They will definitely attack in different sector and try to talk out may status Quo
