This guy is rare breed who say it like it is. It's all about geopolitics. And by the way it's Robert Fisk.

It's all about ....Yes and in this permit given to India USA and NATO is also suffering. Trump is failing in Afghan policy just because of India. NATO is being forces to commit billions to weapons than human development because of India. On the other hand India has so far delivered nothing which has been expected from India.
They want to contain China and they think that India can act as a buffer state.
Nailed it. It is nothing, but the truth. They want to contain China and they think that India can act as a buffer state. The Americans are sorely wrong about that. They have put money on the wrong horse. They have bled like a pig in Afghanistan and not learnt a thing in the past 17 years. In the process they have hurt Pak economy and security. Not only that, they have lost every bit of credibility and the relations are beyond repair. Job well done America. Today they are literally begging for negotiations with the Taliban. When Pakistan said the same thing it was a sin, but today it is kosher. What an incredible loss for America. Talk about shooting yourself on the foot. Everything gone to absolute waste.

I know but my point is India has failed to contain China. India has not delivered any thing to contain China instead loans which were given to India to contain China are being sent to Russian military in forming weapons purchases. Only few billions came back to French companies in form of Rafale deal yet every thing else of US tax payers is going to Russia. What has India delivered so far on the aspects of containing China? Other than getting humiliating at dolkham by China.
India is helping the containment of China by just being there.
Like I say, no-one needs to contain China as they have pretty much annoyed every single country in Asia and are doing a fantastic job containing themselves!
US is only a superpower as it has the whole of the Western World, Japan and Korea on it's side. China only has an economically weak Pakistan to be frank.
Okay let's take what you are saying and tell me how China is contained. Every country in Asia is buying from China and India whose job is to contain China is buying from China more than any one. Chinese military is growing every day they are throwing out military tech out there which is not yet operational in west. There are 52 insurgencies taking place in India and those insurgencies have the capacity to swallow Bangladesh along it. So how is China being contained? Still what has India delivered so far? This is the big question.
The values of human rights are being played like a game of poker in Kashmir. Students are being killed activists being abducted under false charges Children being blinded with pellet guns and what has been achieved by giving India free hand to kill Kashmir people? China is to big for India to contain so why help killing innocent in Kashmir?
Simple - apart from Pakistan, who will fight with China or even give China verbal support in a war with US?
India is no match for China for sure but it is useful as it is so big and the US now has the ability to use bases in India to fight China.
If you look at a map you will see how boxed in China is - without allies it will just stay a regional power unable to exert influence anywhere near the level of the US. China's economy will grow large for sure but so will other Asian countries ,and so it's economic power will not grow to a level that it can punish other countries that do not side with it.
I would personally prefer China to stop pissing everyone off and make some friends, but they keep doing it time after time.
The person who wears the shoes knows if it fits. it's for USA to decide. And they have. Further they are in it for the long haul. Measuring in the present is being myopic. This is a strategic investment by the west in India which looks as far forward as 2050s onwards. India will never contain China. Hindoo's don't have the nuts. But still 1,400,000,000 nuts times 2 does carry some weight which the west can leverage. Who else do they have in the underbelly of China? Bhutan, Bangla, gayboy Thai's?I know but my point is India has failed to contain China.

From the west's perspective it makes eminent sense.
Look below. When you say USA. It has a tail mile long behind it. They call it 'west' although many of the countries not not by definition physically in the west like Japan.Europe?
