Why?
Like has war become a joke among us? do people not REALISE WHAT THE *censored* WAR IS?
@HariPrasad stop saying randomn shit like a 12 year old who has no idea what people have to go through in war. its not a fking video game. maybe you should be the first on the frontlines and even then your opinion is moot because there are tens of thousands if not millions who would die.
Just to keep us on our toes my *censored*. What an idiotic statement
If we do not have, we can build it. That capability is a must. We are growing in stature, our economy is growing bigger and bigger. We are surrounded by rogue enemies and to pretends to be our friends are not happy with our growth. We have conflicts of ambitions with China. US do not want to see one more pole emerging in this world who dare to challenge US or exercise a policy which does not have US's recognition. Coming time is challenging. We need couple of strong decades to establish ourselves from where nobody can think to contain us. A lot need to be done on this front. We need a strong, stable and nationalistic government at the center. Modi has delivered whatever he could have. He can not deliver anything batter. He is proving to be disaster on many internal issues. We had a hope from yogi but he proved to be unfit to live up to our expectation. No capable leadership is in sight. Let us wait and watch.
I am talking about system, not the GOI.
The system includes the people, the state, the Beauracracy, the historical baggage, Politics, The direction of evolution since independence. It also includes how the various factions interact with each other inside the state. All of that results into the system I am referring to.
Consider it as alignment of interest of all the parties involved. We don't have that right now.
That, my friend is a must before a state can look outward and engage in continuous conflicts that you are envisioning.
Let me put some examples forward for you guys:
1) Israel: Currently, the interests of all the parties with stake in Israel( including majority of citizens) are aligned on need to contain Hamas and maintain strong posture against terrorism. Hence, it keeps up the ante even if it doesn't align with International actors all the time.
2) Back when USA was at height of its interventionist policies and power.. all the interests in power back then aligned and people too weren't averse to it.
Once that erode and the current trajectory of US was set.. it is increasingly becoming difficult for US to maintain its past posture. It still maintains whatever leverage it can, but it's undoubtedly declining. Even with the external factors involved, it wouldn't be a threat to US hegemony if there wasn't ideological/interests conflict within US system. The petroleum industry, "green" industry, The big Tech, Plastic, Wokes, Conservative.. their interest has disaligned .
3) Pakistan: On the surface it's united, but under it, there lies disunity b/w various groups, PA, Govt of Pak.. yet it increasingly chose to be in constant state of conflict outside its own domain.. well well well.. it hasn't turned out well for them, and it will only go worse.
4) India: We too doesn't have that unity or alignment of interest.. but fortunately, India has not been an expansionist state. Allowing us to have the time required to solve internal issues first. " The fault lines".
So, it's better path for us to not focus on indulging in constant conflict.. because we don't have the requirement to do it without harming ourselves. Focus on internal management and development first.
