Really? Who claim that?I’ll agree to disagree. US also achieved its objectives in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.
In Vietnam, US' objective was to protect South Vietnam, where is South Vietnam government now?
In Iraq, maybe;
In Afghanistan, their objective is what?
Wiping out Taliban? Failed!
Create a democratic country? Failed!
Setting up a military based in central Asia? Failed!
Well, didn't Chinese suggest that India kept Arunachal Pradesh and China got Aksai Chin in their proposal before 1962?Today India controls Arunachal Pradesh. In the 80’s India annexed Sikkim. Today India protects Bhutan and not China, effectively denying China’s 5 finger objective. Case in point 1962 was a skirmish with only the loss of Aksai Chin. Since then India has consolidated gains in Siachen, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim.
Bhutan and Sikkim? Have Chinese ever offer any protection to these 2 countries?
Pakistan is still there, even though they are weaker but they didn't give up yet.In the 70’s we bifurcated Pakistan, consolidating our control over the subcontinent.
