India-China standoff live updates: PLA opens new front in Depsang Bulge (preparing for invasion ?)
Times of India ^ | 6.25.2020

Posted on 06/24/2020 9:23:32 PM PDT by libh8er

The satellite images on Wednesday showed that Chinese troops have come back in larger numbers to the “Patrolling Point-14 (PP-14)” area in the Galwan Valley region, the site of the brutal skirmish on June 15. This time, PLA appears to have set up a large camp with gun positions at the site near the “Y-junction” of the Shyok and Galwan rivers, which is slightly over a kilometre below PP-14, a reference point that marks the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC).

08:21 (IST), Jun 25

Gen Naravane undertook an aerial survey of the forward areas in Ladakh and reviewed the situation with Northern Command chief Lt-General Y K Joshi and 14 Corps commander Lt-General Harinder Singh. 08:18 (IST), Jun 25

The Chinese troops have set up a much larger camp with gun positions in place of the observation post that was destroyed by Indian troops in the bloody clash of June 15. 08:18 (IST), Jun 25

Latest commercial satellite images and ground reports indicate Chinese troops are back on Indian territory in the Galwan Valley region in eastern Ladakh. 08:17 (IST), Jun 25

In an official readout, the MEA said, “The Indian side conveyed its concerns on the recent developments in eastern Ladakh, including on the violent face-off in Galwan Valley area on June 15 that had resulted in casualties.”

Best of luck to India, they’re going to need it.

Modi will find killing Chinese a lot more difficult than domestic infidels.

Looks like the rines are crossed.

This is really getting ridicurous.

Perhaps Donna Chang could give them some wisdom from Confucius.


On a serious note, is China going to take on India and Taiwan? Add in the potential disaster at the Three Gorges Dam.

We live in interesting times.

China won’t invade Taiwan yet. They would go after India, and also the United States, and then take Taiwan at their leisure. There is no pressing threat from Taiwan. It is just a distraction to hide the fact that the United States is China’s primary target in a war.

I have been wondering the same thing about the Three Gorges Dam. I have a hunch that it was designed to withstand the average heavy rainfall and absorbe the flooding which takes place quite frequently. But as we have entered another 3600 year repetitive signature cycle, bringing along crazy weather patterns such as heavy rains, droughts, enormous amounts of snow as well as quakes etc. I expect this an will be put this dam through an extensive test.

It is the same natural phenomena which 1500 B.C. culminated in the EXODUS. And now we are once again entering this same cycle (1500 + 2020 = 3520 not quite a full cycle) At the time these events were not just visited upon ancient Egypt, but upon checking ancient Chinese historical accounts we find that they had to put up with some very similar events. As they materialize now, it just may put this dam through a test and see how well it was designed and built. I just thought I mention this for interests sake...Time will tell

That is right. China’s primary objective is to push the US out of the Asian Pacific and the inner ring of island nations surrounding the China Seas. If they can succeed at that they can run rampant like the Japanese after Pearl Harbor.

Three Gorges Dam.

It is in the first stages of collapse. China brought in western engineers and when they noted the poor design and substandard concrete the Chinese booted them out.

Well we would be at a distinct disadvantage with their many many aircraft carrier groups.

And us only having one.

Trump could solve this and get accused of starting WW3, without a shot being fired.

‘E carried me away
To where a dooli lay,
An’ a bullet come an’ drilled the beggar clean.
‘E put me safe inside,
An’ just before ‘e died:
“I ‘ope you liked your drink,” sez Gunga Din.
So I’ll meet ‘im later on
In the place where ‘e is gone—
Where it’s always double drill and no canteen;
‘E’ll be squattin’ on the coals
Givin’ drink to pore damned souls,
An’ I’ll get a swig in Hell from Gunga Din!

Din! Din! Din!
You Lazarushian-leather Gunga Din!
Tho’ I’ve belted you an’ flayed you,
By the livin’ Gawd that made you,
You’re a better man than I am, Gunga Din!

Three Gorges Dam...is going to fail.

Knowing the Godless nature of the CCP how hard is it to imagine they would purposely cause it to fail before the election and claim Trump used the US military to cause the disaster?

Wuhan would be swept clean by a failure of the dam.

Death toll could reach as high as the total population of the US.

Worldwide economic upheaval would result...with WW3 following close behind.

“Three Gorges Dam”

I wonder if India is considering turning Three Gorges Dam into a disaster?

I do not doubt your word as I am well aware of some of the substandard products coming from China. But I would be very interested hearing what brought you to the conclusion that this dam is in the first stages of collapse. I have seen some pictures showing some possible bulging, not sure if true or not. Also read some statements that there is no solid connection between the dam itself and the ground underneath ? Would be nice o hear your opinion !

Makes me think of that scene in Schindler's List, when the Jewish architect is shot after telling Goeth that the structure was going to collapse, and it had to be torn down, then Goeth orders them to do what she said.
