Diplomatic failure is when diplomacy is respected by both countries.
We already gave them the option to share in oil extraction. They rejected it and claim the entire Area. What would you do in our position?
Thrashed the PLA? Thats like saying they thrashed the United states. In all military engagements during the war they were being pushed back to their capital. We left on our decision and we still stayed in for 10 years.
Vietnam itself was in the process of Invading another country. Yeah real...
The KMT was of course imbecilic. Its battlefield record is almost as bad as North Vietnam against the United states. You realize that Chinese didn't have front-line action in Vietnam so fear of something they haven't engaged in is a bit unrealistic.
Are you surprised when people react when False flaggers use racial slurs? Start a few posts deriding real troll behavior like dumdum and maybe you'll have some credibility in this department.
how are we supposed to know that your incompetent government would have the military completely unprepared? We thought you guys would have at least the Divisions next to the border ready.
Its not 1962. China is 4 times Indias economy and the 2nd most powerful country in the world.
You're right 8 Indian divisions is far more than 100,000 men. Chinese divisions are around 10,000 men while Indian ones go by Western 10,000 to 15,000.
We only sent that much because we expected you guys to actually use the 8 nearby divisions you had. Overestimation of Indian reaction. Our bad
LOL tanks? We could barely supply men never mind tanks. 80,000 in theatre and you had 100,000. Its not our fault you're incapable of using them at all.
Backstabbing? When you keep poking your room mate and he punches you in the face are you surprised?
The SU 27s Russia licensed were incapable of ground attack.
So we put that feature in. We're not going to pay the Russians to provide what they should have from the beginning. You're free to though.
Do any of those sources provide anything more than speculation?
I can speculate just as well with the French assistance in the LCA, among other countries.
