Featured US highlights CAATSA risk in Indian fighter procurement

[vi-va]

Currently, the only country that cave save India from China is China, and yet India is doing everything to offend it more and more.

For India, a reconciliation with China is possible but politically expensive. India can undo Aug, 5 changes and re-align its strategy to be China's ally in the future - but it will come at a political cost - the death of BJP and RSS which its self-centred leadership is not ready to offer. India's unwise strategists are betting future of their country but they are not ready to bet their personal political carriers. And that is the reason why India is in a deep $hit.

You have an insight of real politics.

that is so true. There are articles about how China can be "generous" when countries want to settle their border with China seriously. In fact, Zhou Enlai offered a bigger portion of land to Nehru but as usual India with its overconfidence refused the offer. When Modi came to power, China thought this guy will have enough political capital to finally solve the border dispute with China. After all, most people in the world don't even know where the border is, and hardly anyone live there. But again, China is disappointed.

Pakistan is a different case though. I don't know how both Pakistan and India can solve Kashmir situation. It is just like the situation between Palestine and Israel. There are people living in the disputed territory. The last time I saw this kind of similar situation resolved relatively amicably was when the Indonesians let the East Timor gained independence. But that can only happened because Indonesia's situation was terrible. Economic crisis, political crisis, and religious civil wars hit Indonesia at that time. Basically Indonesia was on the verge of becoming the next Yugoslavia at that time. The last thing Indonesia need was international embargo because of East Timor crisis. So Indonesia let the East Timor to have referendum.

Modi had the political capital in the first couple of year, but the capital can only be cashed for India domestic issues, not border issues. Modi will be attacked and suicidal if BJP give up the claim of Aksai Chin. Modi knew it, China knew it as well.
So there is no serious talk regarding a treaty, not possible in foreseeable future. This had NOT be done by Nehru and Chairman Mao, then there is no one can do it any longer.

Noting gonna happen.
India is going to get a waiver just like there is a silence on S-400 procurement.

You are absolutely correct, but daddy America is feeling uneasy. No doubt about it.

100% accurate

In fact China offered India a path cooperation instead of rivalry, Russia also supports this and want to see Russia-China-India alliance as counter to western interests.

India however opted for rivalry on two reasons

1) Mentality: Indians are terrible team players. They like to take all the credit for them selves, dont believe in second fiddle status. Personally i dont think they are even second fiddle level.

2) Prodding from the west ie USA who want to see india as a counter balance to china. For India to cooperate with China means US interest are severely retarded in Asia.
