China miscalculated India would be a pushover, needs exit strategy from Ladakh : Lt Gen Pannu (R) 

Such a balanced head

M you can Hi

Indee

If they would not, India would today not exist as one country. Having such a massively aggressive neighbor would have rolled the whole country over, no matter the mountains. It will be interesting the upcoming decades if India manages to catch up economically. The mountains will always give the defenders a significant advantage (I think even if AI replaces humans, however, here I am not as sure), so, if China have to focus on the massive Navy that can be kept in check by other countries, and India can focus most of its military at defending the border, India just have to Improve the economy a little bit, and they can walk right over China and force them to give back the territory (if India so desires, that is; that depends on the politicians of the future). As long as China makes such a huge claims on Taiwan, they need to not only produce, but also upkeep all those ships, and need to spend the majority of the military budget there. I therefore spontaneously say that China need about a ten time, at least, bigger economy then India to produce enough stuff to handle both fronts. And that is very unlikely to happen. Chances is higher that India catches up to China in the future. So, yea, I guess China eventually will louse in the Himalayas in the long run (as long as the sea front is kept in Check by other countries). Lets just hope USA and Japan keeps up the pressure in the South China Sea, and also expanding it to other countries. As long as they are binding up the majority of military spending there, India will win at the border in the long run.

He sounds like imran khan the two are nuclear armed countries and siuation is very sensitive

Vivek Patil ... Are you suggesting a Chacha Nehru kind of approach to enemy belligerence?

@@jatinderbhan here is the chronology of the events as I see it. 1. Trump said he is ready to mediate in kashmir issue sometime in july 2. In response india decided to abrogate article 379 on august 5 and in very short span of time indian politicians starts aggresive statements ab to POK ki baat hogi . aksai chin ki baat kijiye ghabarate kyou ho etc. etc 3. Howdy modi events happens as if trump is really supporting Modi 4. Trump visits India and make mediocre statements 5. /china get cautious and occupies unmarked areas to protect OBOR link to kashghar The point I am making the Modi/Shah could not understand the game and got trapped and in a way landed up making statements against China which resulted in this stand lock Invariable India had no option but to put the army on active duty and economy started bleeding . Smart game by great powers India will continue to incur heavy expenses on border fronts

@@vivekpatil3834 ...India does not have a choice but to beef up its security along LAC. The exact motives behind Chinese moves is a matter of intense debate within Indian security community and I don't see any definitive answer coming from those quarters, although your point of view has been expressed by some. China is a rising power and is flexing its muscle on multiple fronts. China has been engaging in Salami-slicing our territory and the only way to respond to them is to stand up to them. Yes, it will incur a lot of expense, but India does not have a choice. You cannot deal with a bully by acquiescence. You stand up to him. That is what the current Indian government is doing and I fully support that.....

He is an Indian leader. Indian military leaders are like that. Compare that to how Chinese military leaders are, and it becomes obvious that they will have a very hard time to win, at last as long AI is not a full human replacement, that is.

Agree. Very measured.

Yes the General so very methodical, measured it's as if he is on a march past giving a salute to the Indian forces, to Indian Army in particular. Salute to you General Pannu sir. My question is can the Chinese be so articulate as the Gen...I know their marching is good on the outside but out about the inside discipline?

Absolutely!!

Nice one Philip! Done better, than how Ms Tewary interviews Mr Philip. :)

The general says "now the question is to both India and China what is the exit strategy you don't start anything without exit strategy", this is not true. The U.S. started in Iraq and Afghanistan with no exit strategy.

@@dejavu1377 what the general is saying is you should not, just because the yanks did it doesn't make it right! It goes on to prove the General's point. US forces and political leaders and the common people of Iraq and Afghanistan are still paying price of US' follies.

@@SK-rl9kj What is India's exit strategy? You see my point? Everyone says India is ready to go to war, but India has no exit strategy.

@R C Communist frating wisdom. Manifestation of Communism written by two frictional writer. It can't happen in reality. It only create revolution and that revolution is a headless chicken. Politrates are after all human beings. When they got enormous power. Ended up being a dictator. Put in your midn world can't be equal and there won't be any single living beings. It belongs to everyone All will do their part. It is law of nature. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@R C Isnt swamy the one who debunked the 80s china boom as fake and latter china became part of developing nation bank

You have not been paying attention it is 'occupied' not ' captured'.

Distrust and verify!ALWAYS!

@FREE KASHMIR thanks for advice.if it is true, u enjoy, why then unnecessarily barking here.

They are already present, who else is handling the border issues with China at present. It is definitely not just politicians, but such generals and many more in the India China think tank who are calling the shots. The only good part is govt is not hesitating in taking bold decisions..

First time someone explained clearly 1962 debacle and the reason Chinese went back. Enjoyed it vastly. Look forward to hear more and more from the General.

Lost 1000 sqkm of land but didnt lost the habit of telling lies

@@freelife9103 - ha ha Chinese chillies, lost more than 60 soldiers in hand to hand battle at Galwan..Xi was even scared to tell the no of soldiers myrtered what a shame that a country cannot even decorate their myrters.. Prepare for your graveyards. Our border is with Tibet and that's how it will be

@HIMANSHU KUMAR Of course for Bhakts anything that is true is garbage. Keep on eating shit of BJP IT cell whatsapp university.

@HIMANSHU KUMAR yes u r correct. N Ram is a Chinese agent and rent out the Hindu to bark against India. He is surviving due to his father's reputation. He is baking on his father's glory. He is acting as per China's instructions like Pranoy Roy of NDTV. NDTV is acting as per the istructions of Chinese Embassy. Chinese Embassy feeds the border news to NDTV to demoralise Indian Army and the Government. Did N Ram's Hindu measured the land there? It is China feeding the false news to show the world that China is a dominant force. The Hindu spread false news against Modi Govt in purchase of Raffel fighter planes. N. Ram got a slap on his face. N.Ram is a TRAITOR SO DOES PRANOY ROY. Pakistan us also using the Hindu version in their TV discussions. Chinese Chocklet Army wants to win war with India through propaganda. China failed to estimate Sri Modi and Modi is not a chocklet boy like Nehru. Poor China lost the war begore the stsrt of the war.

Look at the passion in Gen Pannu's eyes. He could fight a war today

True you are perfect.. if LAC is not settled which I dont thi nk will get settle soon ... What about getting Tibet on our side of LAC😉😉

. 1 - India should not vacate strategic heights recaptured in .South Pangong. 2 - India should use the status of unsettled borders to her advantage.India should , always , be in a threatening position to block Karakoram Highway - CPEC - an ever present blackmail tactic which would , also , devastate Xi Jingping's / China's bloated / delusional ego. 3 India should make periodic suitable incursions threatening Karakoram Highway in POK which is , legally , Indian territory .

@@akaj188 , Awesome dude... dont tell anyone plan is to keep China on bay around LAC and get back POK GB and Pak gifted territories to China across LOC.. Put paramilitary across re-captured IB across PAK... Recapture Aksi Chin and defend it by regular attacks on Tibetian side.. till Tibet becomes free Independent Country.. and across North to make Xinjiang a free Country!! Aur kuch issues he to pooch lo bhai...

@@chetanipc Well said

@@chetanipc Great strategy enumerated by you . We fully agree. India must liberate POK in order to keep China at bay.
