How many military installations do we have in India and POHKistan?
We don't need bases to provide protection my friend. We have weapons that can be deployed from all over the world....and we have personnel in India and in Pakistan...the fact that there is a US Military on the planet is enough to prevent Russia or China from making a move that they really don't want to make in the first place....the knowledge that if they make said move the US will react and the US is not a small consideration keeps them from doing so. India and Pakistan BOTH enjoy that protection...leaders from both nations have told their citizens for years that they can't invade their neighbor because the US will intervene OR they don't have to worry about an invasion because the US will intervene...meanwhile Western companies have invested trillions of dollars in both nations providing domestic tranquility of a sort in both places and the only way that capital would have ever considered doing so is with some assurance that the US Military will be a stablizing force in the region and the world. It doesn't require bases...it requires a presence in the space between the ears...

You are aware that India and Pakistan both have nuclear weapons aren't you? I would see that as a deterrent. Our relationship with India hasn't always been great. If I'm not mistaken India also has an operational navy with carriers that actually work. I'm not sure how much they depend on us for security.
