This is all from their new found confidence due to the $400 billion Chinese deal, which they think is like showing a middle finger to America. Dont be surprised if CPEC turns to CIPEC - China, Iran, Pakistan EC. Iranians are very proud people [i mean they have a deep and respectable Persian heritage] and will do the extreme things to annoy the US. Unfortunately, we ended up getting stuck there. It is time to say goodbye to Iran - find another way to service Afghanistan. The reality is all these countries see India as in the western camp + Israel much like they see in UAE and Saudi Arabia.Time to fuck Iran
Our best bet is to make bold moves - get back Shaksgam valley and slowly eat our way into the Wakhan corridor which is only a few miles from the western end of Shaksgam valley. These are occupied parts and no one is going to go to serious war over it. Like we never did when the bat munchers occupied Aksai Chin. The world is getting divided into two camps - the western camp and the Chinese camp. Frankly, we are no longer seen as non-aligned and are seen as pro western especially after the Quad arrangement. So, there is no point pretending as such. We just need to rework our geopolitical strategy to the new reality of China playing the superpower game. They have made it clear that they believe they are now equal to the US in power projection terms. Let's not forget despite all the south china sea screams and protests, ASEAN + Japan ended up signing RCEP led by China. It is what it is.
It is up to us to reset our strategies. We really must become the alternate place for world class supply chains. Even if we have to suspend democracy for a few terms to get there, we must. A lot is at stake.
