I feel like the outsider around here trying to do so

not by inches

The Iranian and Saudi navies are planning to hold a joint exercise in the Red Sea region, Iranian Navy Rear Admiral Shahram Irani announced on 22 October.

Amid its mobilization in preparation for a possible Israeli attack, Iran hosted the IMEX 2024 naval maneuvers in the Indian Ocean on Saturday and Sunday, with the participation of the naval forces from Russia, Oman, Saudi Arabia, India, Thailand, Pakistan, Qatar, and Bangladesh.

I know it's mostly a symbolic gesture from the Saudis, but nonetheless, this is rather concerning, especially because the exercise is being held in the Red Sea. I wonder if anyone is going to invite the houthis as well

I wouldn't trust this to be some turning over a new leaf moment in China-India relations. There's the old saying of keep your friends close but your enemies closer. Both are competing superpowers of the future, but neither can afford a hot war or disagreements currently to mess with their economic ascension. I hope I'm wrong though and both are genuine but IMO, unlikely.

India only good at producing low skilled slaved nothing more. They still living in the stone age.

It is not a show of intelligence when people from my native USA and your Canada have access to the entire internet and use it to watch porn and play mindless video games.

The low caste Hindus have ZERO access to anything and are for the most part illiterate. Yes they are still living in the stone age but that doesn't make Canadians "look smarter" it makes them look retarded.

I see you often mention how our first world privilege made us "soft" don't let 3rd world illiterates bear the brunt of your sword. They are sent here to destabilize our nation and it's promoted.





India and China are still fighting over the Himalayas(since the Cold-War) due to it's strategic high altitude(military purposes) and "fresh water" locked in the glaciers. Both have massive populations and they don't like each other at all. What we see in terms of "diplomacy" is just a show. If WW3 kicks off India will be allied with the US because like you said they are a "growing superpower" and both have the potential to "dethrone the US". Neither benefit from going to war with one another and India would gladly take over the slave labor US corporations exclusively gave to the Chinese. India has no problem being the "new China" they would gladly frog-hop them at high cost to their short term objectives in the name of "long term success".

I've heard Xi-Xin-Ping say something along the lines of it'd be a "good thing" if they lost 300million soldiers in a world war if they managed to "win" "long term". India isn't that insane but would also see a "World War" benefitting them long term.

Crazy to think some countries see their citizens as sheep to the slaughter or should I say all countries lol

I would say Yes and No. Because historically Both Countries do not have any conflict. And both were somewhat of a super power at one point very very very very long time back.
The beef started when China went Communist.

But that being said, it is also technically correct to say they might clash in future. But how is the clash going to be ? Will it be destabilizing to the region or just Kung Fu fighting with Sticks and stones ?
No one knows.

But there is one thing that India knows very well. If China goes down and they come up, in a mere 30 to 40 years they will receive the same treatment the Chinese received, similarly speaking the Chinese is currently receiving the same treatment Japan received back in the 70s up till the early 90s.

The Japanese got off the hook in a much better situation since internet wasn't around at that point and furthermore the troops that are in Okinawa kept them in check.

I don't see China and India ever becoming more than "frenemies" at best. Despite their rhetoric about striving for a "multipolar world order", the Chinese clearly have no interest whatsoever in forming a geopolitical alliance in which they aren't the undisputed hegemon. Likewise, the Indians have no interest or incentive whatsoever to shun the West and sacrifice economic opportunities, just so they can play second fiddle to the Chinese.

Imho, the Indians will continue to do what's best for them and play both sides of the 21st-century-defining conflict between the US and China, extorting concessions and funding while never fully aligning with either side.

The boomerang of natural consequences. We shouldn't expect to foment wars to try to weaken geopolitical enemies without them responding.
