Sri Lanka brings Turkey into Indian Ocean

[Lankan Ranger]

Military power is a relative term, it varies from place to place. Every big nation is super power in its own region. In Indian ocean its Indian Navy, just like China in China sea, Russia in Sea of Okhotosk......Even USA can't challenge them (irrespective of being superpower)

US Navy most powerful in Indian Ocean……..

Camp Justice is a US base in the British Indian Ocean Territory, which is the home for refuelling tankers.

During the Cold War era, the United States was keen to establish a military base in the Indian Ocean to counter Soviet influence in the region and protect the sea-lanes for oil transportation from the Middle East. The U.S. saw the island as a strategically important one. The value has been proved many times, with the island providing a "fixed aircraft carrier" for the U.S. during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Diego Garcia is one of the five control bases for the Global Positioning System, operated by the United States military. The U.S. Air Force also has monitoring stations in Hawaii, Kwajalein, Ascension Island, and Colorado Springs. The stations synchronise and update the atomic clocks on the 24 orbiting satellites that emit the signals used by GPS receivers.

What an idiot, like I said, India’s military build up maintains a two front war strategy

Your language shows your mentality. Indian military is present on border with Pakistan, with China even with Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar and bhutan to some extent. That means India is at war with all its neighbours. Never ever in the history of India you will read that India fought with two nations simultaneously.

Two front war is not going to happen even in future too, this will remain dream for people like you.

To say, these are desperate measures taken by the SL high command to come clean on the war crime issue, by running to many countries and leting them to reach Indian Ocean.
The last time Chinese spy vessel which was monitoring INDIA when countered INS ships, got harboured in SL port and we are not able to do anything.
India is giving too much space for SL. and SL is taking advantage of that.

Link please. You are providing link of a thread in a forum.

Being at war is different thing and preparing for worst is different thing. Even some group of people think that many countries are preparing for Alien invasion.

Preparitions are done for every worst thing possible, just to increase your skills, to overcome your weaknesses........etc..etc...
Even China is preparing for war with India, russia, Japan, USA and many other countries (its an example), that dosen't mean China is at war with them.
