Ping.
Am I too early to say, “Go India”?
If actual shooting starts, the Indians will be beaten badly. If the Indian Air Forces tries to challenge, China’s superior aircraft, electronics and armaments will result in a turkey shoot. China will control the air. Indian land forces will not be supported or resupplied. Sorry but that is just the way it is. Hopefully The US has observers in place to learn.
an indian colonel was killed
So does this nitwit consider that China slaughtered the dead Indian soldiers as well?
No, this most likely is not the start of WWIII.
If true, depending on how many people were involved, that must have been a particularly sustained and vicious hand-to-hand fight to result in so many casualties.
I suspect China is to blame.
China IMO is gradually escalating tensions. Seems like they want a war with India. Their actions in many sectors in and around China seems to indicate they may be spoiling, girding for a war. It would I suspect help them to revive their failing economy. Wars tend to do that for countries.
India’s not much of a friend of ours either...truth is both of these nations hate our guts. Kind of like the Chechen muslims vs. Arab muslims imbroglio...can’t wait to see both of them lose.
I’m sure no one has forgotten, but just a reminder:
BOTH sides have nuclear weapons.
If it looks like one or the other might be at a severe disadvantage (likely India), someone could decide that a desperate measure needed to be done.
can think of nothing better than these two nations running up a very high casualty count.
India slaughters 5 Chinese soldiers , did a Chinese write this ?
Don’t care, not our problem.
"Slaughtered" is such an incendiary word, isn't it? /s
I doubt it will not become WWIII.
But if it did, I would have some advice for DJT about how to exploit the situation without getting involved in any way with China-India conflict on the border. But loose lips sink ships so I won’t let google pass my advice to the Chinese.
I don’t it will be a cake walk over India. If India can bottle up the Chinese in the Himalayas, it may be turn out to be more like the mountain war Austria-Hungary and Italy fought against each other in the First World War.
China has a long supply train through Tibet to even get to India. A war might hinge on how well their navies perform against one another. Or what Pakistan might do. China might win an air war. But operating out of those mountains might cramp both sides’ style.
I’d give the edge to India if only because they’d be fighting on interior lines in every theater and battle space. World opinion might be with India, too, if China is the perceived as the sh*t-starter. Don’t know if that would translate to material help, but they might receive some valuable intelligence.
“World War 3”?
Really?
The Indians run, basically, all of our computer systems now. Here on our soil.
China knows that the world is otherwise occupied so...
