Your original claim was to sink Chinese shipping, now you're changing it to Chinese oil tankers. You claim to sink Chinese shipping now you're rechanging your statement by saying you're going to let them go? lol.
The issue is the Malacca Strait. Stick to the subject matter.
1. We don't care if India is a nuclear power, India is not stupid enough to dare launch any nuclear strikes on our military or shipping interests if it expects not to be glassed.
2. We will intervene if you threaten shipping through the Malacca Straits; The 7th and 5th Fleet would plow the IN...
In case of this hypothetical war scenario, you say that the IN will be targeting Chinese merchant marine ships. Do you understand that these ships carry goods and services that are going to foreign countries; you're looking at goods worth billions of dollars destined for Europe, North America...
The United States Navy joins no one's side, we enact policy for the purpose of maintaining freedom of navigation. International Trade is dependent on an open navigational doctrine. It does not matter if that navy be the PLAAN, the IN or even the RN, if they threaten the freedom of navigation...
India is useful to our strategic interests when she operates and abides by our geopolitical plans. US strategic interests is intertwined with oil shipments and goods. Any threats on US shipments will be addressed by Fleet Command severely.
The 5th Fleet, alone, which is insiginifcant in fire...
The day the IN intrudes and imposes a threat to the shipping lanes in the Malacca Strait will be the day the USN will wipe out the Indian Navy's Eastern and Western Fleet. USN will also strategically occupy the Andaman and Nicobar Islands as well.
Amen!

That was but one test, we've had successful trials as well:

As we speak we are proceeding in retesting the mid course interceptors. These are ongoing trials and do not reflect the climax to...
Sure you do *sarcasm*

If a launch was made on Israel, rest assured that there would be nothing left of that certain nation's military grid after the IAF's strikes.
Please be realistic.
Israel would not initiate any hostile acts on KSA without provocation, that is, if KSA does not mobilize units that are aimed to threaten the existence of the Israeli state.
Considering the threat of Iran, it would be wise for KSA to collaborate with Israel in containing Tehran...
It would be a strategic failure for the Saudis to aim anything at Israel. In fact, it is downright foolish. The Israeli Air Force would make appropriate capitation strikes. It would be to the interest of KSA to become 'friends' with the Israelis. Israel, alone, has the fire power to pulverize...
Russia is insignificant, and I believe the Vietnamese are growing up /maturing to see that a total dependence on Russia is antagonistic for Vietnamese aspirations for regional plans as the premier power in continental south east asia. Vietnam understands that the United States' pivot is for long...
I'm a general surgeon and on my 2nd year fellowship for cardiothoracic surgery. as for south street...yea I had great times there, MAN. I'd drive over there after my on-calls and get a nice drink or two haha. Do they still have that dave and busters by the bay area?
I used to drive out to...
You're welcome, bro. Hehehe, you're from Philly eh? Man, how I miss those old days. I did my Cardiology clinical rotation in Philly...boy do i miss tasting the food in South Street.
Nice to meet you here,man.
I would definitely encourage the PN's growth because as it stands, it would be crushed by the IN in the event of a naval conflict. I agree with you that at least 5 more subs would be necessary to at least threaten IN's Western Fleet. At least have the INS Viraat within her sights. Subs could...
