Most scholars, starting with Roderick McFarquhar are agreed that China brilliantly timed its last attack on India to coincide with the Cuban missile crisis. because the Soviets (our ostensible allies) were busy sorting out their own problem, it prevented them from lending India a helping hand in our conflict.
This history is very relevant today. Bharat Verma has raised the alarm on a Chinese attack – in addition one has to ask – will China attack India as soon as ‘surge, bribe and run’ is completed in Af-Pak?
Consider the favorable circumstance
1. The Yanks (another of our ostensible allies – we have a lot of them) will be busy sorting out the economic mess, for which they need Chinese help
2. The Yanks will want to gracefully ‘surge, bribe and run’ out of Afghan theatre, for which they need Pak’s help. Once they have run away they will outsource Afghan and Kashmir policy to the bearded Pak army – both regular and baggy trouser
3. For reasons 1 and 2 above – the Yanks will not be able to help us
4. The economic crisis has created a mass of testosterone-crazed, newly unemployed Han men – that have to be re-direct to some kind of violent enterprise
5. There is another spineless wimp neo-Nehru in the Indian PM’s chair. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss etc.
6. there is a stealth Sino-Mohammedan candidate in charge of the ‘free world’
7. Only last year, the ever perfidious Albion – had a change of heart regarding China’s position in Tibet. err ….by the way – this may legally invalidate India’s claims to it’s north-east
8. The number of Malayali advisor’s in the defense establishment is the same as 1962
it is – to use a Churchillian phrase – a Gathering Storm

superb post, ghostwriter. i like it so much i am stealing it and reposting it on this blog and forwarding it to some others.
'surge, bribe and run': the yanks will be declaring victory in afghanistan and running by the end of 2010. and pakistan would have got its strategic depth.
yanks keep telling us to give pak j&k and pull back troops from border. why doesn't anybody tell china to give aksai chin to india and pull back troops from border?
I too liked it. Good points, and well-worded.
Kaangresmen only care about keeping their jobs. The only reason they actually need a country, is so that they can have someone to lord over.
Actually worrying about borders and protecting them is too much of a distraction on their self-centred narcissistic natures.
I doubt that even saying "I told you so" will phase these pathological shirkers in New Delhi, but there's no excuse not to say so loudly.
