We had 90,000 PoW at the negotiating table & still, we were made a monkey of it.
Our political leadership & bureaucracy has strange ways of bungling.
Let& #39;s not read too much into body language & tactical moves.

If in six decades we couldn& #39;t delineate the boundary & despite 22 boundary talks, usual skirmishes & flashpoints, then there are these legitimate qs for sure. ` https://twitter.com/asadowaisi/status/1305821835951439872?s=20">https://twitter.com/asadowais...
Conflict avoidance and cultivation of overrated & #39;empathy& #39; is ingrained in our upbringing.
A passive-aggressive person cant take a stand but repeatedly claim & #39;betrayed& #39;.

This is a more realistic assessment. Honestly, looking at official Chinese reaction, they don& #39;t take us seriously.
LoC& #39;ization of LAC will affect us and tie our resources until we delienate borders. https://twitter.com/RRajagopalanJNU/status/1308636635773333504?s=19">https://twitter.com/RRajagopa...

There was & there is a view, that we should wait till the asymmetry bet India & China is reduced, then take on.
Fact is asymmetry will get only bigger.
I can& #39;t think anything else but offensive military action.

The threat analysis of June still holds I guess.
Despite few analysts claiming that Chusul sector is a smokescreen, the real deal is Depsang plain.
Even if it is, defensive ops from the Indian side at best, given lower priority sector-wise. https://twitter.com/smylingassasin/status/1273536537808920576?s=20">https://twitter.com/smylingas...
