I have responded separately. India is doing whatever it can. If you wish to suggest some other action, please provide a list of such possible actions.Indian economy today is 2.5 trillion USD nominal probably the 5th largest, and 10 trillion USD PPP which is 3rd largest. If we can't get support whith such an economy, the problem lies with us not the economy.
North Korea serves as a launch pad against the US that both Russia and PRC could use while preserving the plausible deniability. I read news that both PRC and Russia were selling them oil in violation of UN resolution. For Russia and PRC, North Korea is an asset. For the US, it gave a defence contractor an opportunity to propose a defence shield along the US West Coast. I wonder what was the need for Trump to muddy the waters with North Korea? I don't believe North Korea is a threat to the US.Today North Korea has better nukes and far better missile systems than what Pakistan has, Note the support countries against North Korea are getting. Are the nukes and missiles stopping their action against North Korea. If you say military action then Its not the nukes but the close proximity of Seoul, North Korean conventional artillery numbers which is preventing the military attack, and the hidden PLA factor. Their nukes which can easily hit Guam etc has not stopped the aggressive behavior of USA.
We did it officially? Perhaps I was misinformed. Would you please provide the statement from the Army spokesperson that we crossed the international border?Pakistan crossed the LoC and not international border, Which we also did officially last year. Although you may have a point on holding territory, but world reacted to the 98/99 breach as the breach of an international border, Which perhaps was not seen as such when Gibraltar happened in 65.
What should the government have allowed after 26/11? Who sought permission? I ask because someone in a higher authority can allow an action only if someone from a subordinate position seeks permission. So, please clarify.I don't get your point ? Pakistanis have been attacking us from 48, since when did we lay our arms and surrendered to their assaults ? What did the Government allow after 26/11 please tell, I am all ears.
We have the moral right to respond, yes, so what do you propose we do?Which is why we hold the right to respond to the aggression, why do I turn the other cheek ?
I hope the recommendation is to actually do against Pakistan and not against fellow Indians. I mean, I don't want a situation where we cannot hit back at Pakistan so we hit back at our fellow countrymen under some flimsy excuses.
Our biggest weakness is our propensity to jump to conclusions without any evidence, just because someone said so. India is a highly faith and belief based culture, unlike the west, that is an evidence or metrics based culture.Our biggest weakness is the Gandhi-Nehruvian ideology and school of thought, which good for serving the master but catastrophic for state craft.
Responded separately and sought clarification.China's GDP in 2001 was 1.339 trillion USD.
For the excerpt above, I have responded inline in red.No Pakistan is the perpetrator of terrorism (true), far from being the victim (false), It aid and nurture these terrorists (true). Pakistani people through a remarkable effort has developed the system to breed and develop world class terrorists. (partially true and partially false)
Oh, I believe they are a victim of terrorism. If someone thinks that I have no sense left, then so be it. It won't change my opinion.No one in the world with any sense left believes what Pakistanis say, which why Pakistan has to continuously whine about it. Those who believe get backstabbed some knowingly due to the trap.
Is it on YouTube. If yes, please share.Do watch BBC documentary named Double cross, where top commanders of NATO and US talk about Pakistan.
Please clarify.So has Kashmir gone to middle east ?
India needs to wait for the right opportunity to take control of PoK and Gilgit-Baltistan. It won't happen tomorrow or next year. However, we need to prepare and be ready when the window of opportunity arrives. Access to Central Asia will not only ensure energy security, but it is also important to delink the physical geographical connection between PRC and Pakistan.Is it not affecting our links with energy rich central Asia ? Russia has her own resources, we have our own. They use their resources whatever they have to their advantage, are we using our resources to our advantage ? Is doing nothing or turning the other cheek our advantage ?
While we are talking about Central Asia, I am not very optimistic about attempts to create an alliance with the Uighurs. They have the potential of turning into a Frankenstein. We should learn from our mistake with the LTTE, from Pakistan's mistake with the Mujahideen, the USA's mistake with OBL.
