Just this afternoon I read that China has taken 2000+ km from India along the Himalayas. They used herders, farmers, and other non-violent means to gradually encroach then occupy. I swear I fail to understand how we have not caught on to China’s and Russia’s “new” warfare. All they are doing is combining business, migration, and other human tendancies to advance their strategic goals. I guess it helps to have strategic goals to orient your actions.
Maybe Kim in North Korea was told by China to call off his missile threat; let China take care of its problem with India first, so it will be free to help Kim if needed.
