Reality check.
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's not read too much into body language & tactical moves.

As usual, political expediency & bureaucratic prevarication means the soldiers are responsible without authority.

Few articles floating around about Chinese scurrying for an exit strategy.
Here is a fresh perspective about Army leadership playing its part. MSM, as usual, fixated on either CDS or NSA or EAM or Modi. https://qr.ae/pNFjlm

If in six decades we couldn'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
Conflict avoidance and cultivation of overrated 'empathy' is ingrained in our upbringing.
A passive-aggressive person cant take a stand but repeatedly claim 'betrayed'.
Isnt it reflected in our diplomacy? https://www.hindustantimes.com/columns/on-china-india-is-making-a-mistake/story-QPxd0o3RJKhgzghOm7mX1I.html

Even in "readjustment" /tactical moves, there is restraint. https://twitter.com/smylingassasin/status/1306807723107917824?s=19
Interesting & sensible suggestions.
Do we not have this now?
Babus should be posted at different differing perception of LAC points until delineation. https://twitter.com/Vedmalik1/status/1306828613715595265?s=19

I guess India will just defend it in Depsang plain, given the history.

This is a more realistic assessment. Honestly, looking at official Chinese reaction, they don't take us seriously.

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't think anything else but offensive military action.

Above appreciation will tell you how difficult it is to sustain troops at heights & how practical we must be in defending them.

China's claim circa 1959 https://twitter.com/ShekharGupta/status/1310856852230385667?s=20
Here's the puzzling part, why did in 1962 China declared ceasefire & went back 20kms in some sectors; Yet never discussed their 'claim'.
Their claim is as fluid as their position. https://twitter.com/smylingassasin/status/1265315219712040960?s=20

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

If the Chinese are talking about LAC claim, this is a proof they miscalculated Indian response this time.

Understandable Indians are mocking this; true they are no match for our battle hardened soldiers with Siachen exp.
