another aspect that can be looked at, if anyone has time to spare.

what are murican OSINT groups saying, and what is their tone?
they went on an overdrive during balakot strike and aftermath, their tone was borderline condescending.

what's their narrative in this case? are they accepting PLA propaganda as is?

OSINT groups are usually his master's voice, they simply reflect their country's strategic interests.

if they are opposing PLA narrative it means something, and if not it means something else.
Nothing and was bit surprised.

All towing the Chinese line.

It looks like Biden and his gang are equally hated on both sides of the fence.

one inference we can draw is that they haven’t received their script, by extension pentagon is not ready to release the script for public consumption yet.

we can use Ukraine osint narrative as baseline, as to how in sync they were across the board.

most i seen are anti-chinese . including that nathan guy .

most defense websites blindly swallow Chinese propaganda , like that microwave weapon thing.

indian claims however are put under a microscope
This is mainly because till now, the Chinese have always backed up their claims with proofs from the state, (proofs, as in, propaganda videos from PLA).
This has created a reputation for them.

However, completely opposite is true for Indian Media, they post completely funny news which is laughable to even a common person with IQ over 20. This has led to a reputation of Indian media being down the drain.

Remember our dumbfuck media trying to sell this as proof of us shooting down Pakistani F-16 ?



Yeah, why should we blame others for not believing our narrative ?

Yes very likely, also we all saw how deep in-coordination was between White House and the Pentagon during this whole Nancy Pelosi's trip.

This is because we don't have a dedicated PR machinery coordinating both Military and Media.

So our TRP seeking unguided media does stunts unabated.

You can also take it as a political stunt done risking servicemens lives . In this scenario the pentagon would have a subdued narrative. Lets not forget their general went behind the back of their political authority and held parlays with the chinese. How he was not prosecuted for treason is beyond me.

when i visualise american strategic machinery, usually i get the feeling they work in tandem in co-ordination with each other. irrespective of what they tell their public. each doing their own thing with inbuilt plausible deniability, but always towards a common goal. only one in recent memory who went against this setup was trump, and he was removed.

this is contrary to how our own bureaucratic machinery is portrayed in pop culture in movies and TV serials, where a subordinate is always shown as having problem with boss and vice versa. which in reality is not the case.

take khalizad of afghanistan for example, he was from RAND think tank, he stayed on the afghan matter from beginning to the end for more than two decades. he was let go only after afghan withdrawal.

As expected.
Most useless exercise of live fire drill to vent off their anger. With Pelosi visit and Chinese inability to prevent it, Chinese have lost half of their prestige. This shock is as great as their 1979 Vietnam war defeat. Now they will pick on somebody else like India to restore their lost prestige. To put the Chinese in their place, US has to do the following:

1. Get out of too much imports from China. Set up other nations less aggressive to supply consumer goods,

2. US should reinvigorate its military bases in Guam, Clark air base in Philippines, add more power to Japanese bases.

3. Add more power to QUAD which today is neither here or there.

4. In worst case scenario where China gets too aggressive, then enact CAATSA like law to prohibit Chinese imports

As a military power, Chinese are nowhere to US or even lesser power like India. Copied and reverse engineered military hardware does not make a great power, it also requires experience and skill to fight a very sophisticated enemy. Hence for future, work hard to cut Chinese to size.
