India sending warships through South China Sea as China questions German frigate's intentions

India has announced several of its Navy warships will soon sail through the South China Sea, the latest country to send vessels towards the contested waters.

The Indian Defence Ministry on Tuesday announced a "Task Force of Indian Navy's Eastern Fleet" will set sail in August to South East Asia, the South China Sea and into the Western Pacific. The fleet comprises a number of warships, with at least three ships built in India and "equipped with a versatile array of weapons and sensors".

The Indian Navy will partake in a number of exercises while on voyage, including with the Japanese and Australian navies.

The deployment, which the ministry says seeks to underscore "peaceful presence and solidarity with friendly countries" and strengthen India's bonds with other countries in the Indo-Pacific, follows Germany on Monday announcing one of its frigates will cross the South China Sea in December.

We should strengthen ties with India. They are the bulwark against Chinese expansionism. They are China’s flank.

Dialog from the movie ‘The Bedford Incident’:

Commodore Schrepke:
This is insane!

Captain Finlander:
Now don’t worry, Commodore. The Bedford’ll never fire first. But if he fires one, I’ll fire one.

Ensign Ralston:
[launching the rocket] Fire One!

It’s about time another nation or two steps up and on china’s unabashed takeover of atolls and fishing regions.

Will the globalist start another war to cover up the election crime of the century and these very questionable vaccines millions have been injected with?

Better if done sooner than later. China is weak, but building their military strength at an alarming rate. Ten years from now, it will be too late and they'll be like Nazi Germany in the 1930's. Even five years from now they'll be a problem (although one that can still be beaten). If the trigger is pulled now, China gets defeated by an array of other nations.

Is there really such a thing?

It’s that kind of thinking that leads to disaster
and generally a war never turns out how those who
start it think it will.

"It will be a quick war. Is there really such a thing?"

No. Nor will it be a war to end all wars, or a war to make the world safe for Democracy. WWII could easily have claimed 50 million lives. The next one might claim 500 million to a billion. If humanity is lucky.

Sometimes a war is necessary. There is no other choice. But every war looks like it’s going to be a quick and easy war. At first, anyway. Then reality intrudes. Despite the promises, it’s rarely over by Christmas.
