Tensions rise as India tests missile capable of reach China

They share a border. Can’t they just, like, kick a missile and hit China?

India going radical in this bitch

and reportedly called for increasing China’s military presence in the Indian Ocean to counter India’s presence there.

Good. Spread their navy thin so they can't dominate the South China Sea.

China isn't appreciating the irony of their declarations regarding nuclear non proliferation, I imagine.

maga winning again

They have over 4,000 years of it lol.

Their foreign policy is a wonderful example of double speak. You shouldn’t, but we should.

Don’t destabilize the region, the DPRK, but don’t call us out, if we do.

I wish there were more threads like this on the poliboard instead of the stupid shite that gets posted here.

I've said for awhile WW3 will be in the pacific theatre and Middle East. Russia/China are major players in this and their allies have been pretty bold lately (Iran, North Korea, Turkey, Syria). Our allies in the region are starting to get nervous and preparing for defense.

This one won't be fought in Europe. Most likely very little European participation as they have no militaries other than England and France.

I see it being between 2 alliances. One will be Russia, China, NK, Iran, Syria. Maybe Turkey but them being NATO might keep them out of it.

The other will be US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Japan, India.

If the war stays conventional (non nuclear, God help us if it went nuclear) you'll see the US naval fleet split between operating in the western Pacific concentrating on defending Japan/South Korea and the Indian Ocean. You'll see the ground troops clash in the Middle East as Chinese forces move westward and Russian ones southward. India will move northward supported by US troops and airpower. China will attempt to invade Japan and SK. No ground invasion will take place in China or Russia, or India. Too many people and too much land. The goals of each country will be

1. China- take control over Japan and the entire pacific theatre. Assert themselves as the new military power to counter American dominance

2. Russia-regain control over the former Soviet Bloc countries.

3. Iran-destroy Israel and Saudi, gain territorial control for new Persian pipeline to Europe.

4. NK- cannon fodder

5. Syria- restabilize their country and consolidate power.

The goals of the US and its allies will be strictly defense and maintain status quo. Most of the fighting will occur in nations caught in between rather than on the ground of any of the 4 superpowers (India, China, Russia, US). The ground war will be difficult against both Russian and Chinese forces. The US would fairly easily maintain control over the Indian Ocean with our navy. China could be a headache in the Pacific Ocean with our naval forces spread out.

There's a winning strategy there for sure for Russia/China. They can beat us in a ground war, we need India to beef up its military and allow Japan to rebuild theirs particularly their Navy.
