Well said, but Indian lack of in depth thinking. From their point of view, China is USSR, while Pakistan is Vietnam.
So they want to beat both China and Pakistan with the help of US.
The thing is Pakistan is way stronger than Vietnam, China is not USSR in 1979. China won't collapse in next decades or foreseeable future.
Modi put India as FRONT LINE country. Ever heard of Front Line country?
- The East Germany and West Germany during Cold War.
- The North Korea and South Korea during Cold War.
- The Afghanistan during Cold War.
- The Vietnam during Cold War.
When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.
BJP/Modi has no clear strategy, just nudged by US and Israel.
Good luck to India.
I foresee India will be a historical geographic term in my life time.
