So ....
1. The first wave was launched to trip over the world . It was a disruptive attack. World economies staggered as they were caught unprepared and surprised with its impact. It was centred around US, UK, Europe Brazil, India. Observe Middle East was spared the impact. https://twitter.com/nisheethsharan/status/1391329304458366976
2. The second wave came with tailor made mutants. Targeted towards India UK and Brazil. For reasons Brazil has rubbed the Chinaman the wrong way that it is getting the thick end of the stick. There are reasons.
3. The second wave is to make India kneel. Coz it didn't do so in Ladakh and China had to eat crow at Galwan. It is not a usual occurrence for PLA to pull back under pressure. Loss of face in the frigid heights of Ladakh and Galwan was immense. Retaliation was coming.
4.on the Indian side the push for an indigenous vaccine was a master stroke. And the willingness to support other countries with the vaccine. But observe the drumbeat of naysayers who condemned this initiative and called out Govt financing of Pvt vaccine firms.
5. The SII CEO fled the country coz possibly he felt physically threatened. Have you observed this behaviour in any other country. Vaccine is critical ammunition in this war against COVID. Millions of lives are at stake. What are the motivations.
6. Second wave was anticipated. Hence funds for oxygen plants which are critical had been catered for and released. This is where the steel frame let the ball slip out of its hands. They could not implement the intent of leadership.
You can't be gallivanting in 6 month tender process etc when the enemy is at the gates. Critical decisions to waiver red tape were possibly not taken. O2 plants were not established and a crises happened. Ditto for enhancing bed capability . Heads must roll when we take stock.
You can't be a holding an appointment without being accountable for your failure to act when the situation demands.
7. Why India?. Coz beyond Europe n US if there is a lynchpin that upholds the challenge to China, its India.
8. If India Keels over beyond the western nations China will rule the roost. All will bow down or already are in the process of paying homage. India is key. It has the capability to emerge as an optional manufacturing hub to china. The 'Atam Nirbhar' initiative is a strategic mov
This initiative, once rolling has the potential to pull the rug from under China's feet. India and it's navy counts majorly indian ocean and Bay of Bengal. The Andamans cap the Nine dash line initiative of China. Till Andamans hold strong China remains vulnerable and hemmed in.
9. In the QUAD India is key along with US. If Quad matures as it should it will be the NATO of the East, and other threatened nations will join once reassured that Quad offers security just as NATI offers. Hence the Chinese sensitivity to India in particular joining QUAD. Savvy?
10. China's vulnerabilities lie in Tibet and Xinjiang. And these India can exploit. If QUAD was to step into Afganistan with India positioning a strike corps there, china's goose will be cooked. Observe the drumbeat of naysayers to Indian armed forces positioning in AF.
11. If the chinaman senses that you are weak, dithering, hesitating to bite the bullet, he will release the third, the fourth and whatever at you till you kneel. Once you kneel, the Middle Kingdom will dictate terms and extract ' chouth'. The country will be rendered asunder
12. this is a key moment. Do we give battle to the Huns or do we cave in. Do we grid our swords. We do have a tradition of Mir Jaffers. Plassey would have bee n a different story and so would have our history to date. have we learnt civilisational lessons. Or does history repeat
12. Time to follow the warriors path. As late Gen Hanut Singhji used to say " It is easy to walk down hill. It is the warrior who turns around and chooses to walk uphill even if it is a tougher option." It is the warriors path.
Let's choose the warriors path and shape history.
