Yes death is inevitable but it must serve some strategic purpose. Pakis regularly sacrifice dozens of soldiers on LOC, did it shake LOC by one inch. But they are an army ruling a country and soldiers are dispensable and casualties hidden (60+ this year alone). Their army needs bogey of India threat to justify its existence. We can forestall Chinese advance across LOC but defending doklam or even other northern areas of Bhutan in a limited war will be next to impossible. On top of that loss of thousands of soldiers just to defend our own turf will pull Bhutan and nepal inexorably out of our orbit, will lead to massive stock crash and economic crash coupled with regional insurrections. This will weaken us irreparably. We need 10 years to prepare for a full scale 2 front war and need energy for that. A wise player knows that strategic games are like chess not street fight with 56 inch chest. Abuse me as much as u may, but I will be proved right. Finally this limited war will be a precursor to a full scale war in 2024 except that India will be much weaker then to fight a multi front war that is coming. I will not post on this forum any more due to constant abuse but rest assured I am certain what is coming this year will set the stage for something much bigger later where we will suffer a lot till restoration happens under a new crop of soldier kings led by the king of kings.
