** 25-May-2020 World View: India-China border conflict in Ladakh
There's a lot of talk these days that Covid-19 has substantially
harmed operations in the US armed forces. Do your contacts have any
view on that subject?
Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong separatists are all aligning against
the CCP, and time is not on the CCP's side.
This is a very interesting story. Here's another article:
** Tension mounts in Ladakh as China brings in more troops; India
maintains aggressive posturing
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/indi...924455.cms
Recall how WW II started -- with a misunderstanding and minor clash in
the Marco Polo Bridge incident that I described at length in my book
and summarized in my May 17 article. It was a small incident, it was
settled quickly, but both sides brought in reinforcements and it led
quickly to the Rape of Nanking and full-scale war.
The Ladakh border incident is remarkably similar to the Marco Polo
Bridge incident. The Chinese and Indians hate each other, the levels
of nationalism and xenophobia are very high on both sides, there was a
brief clash, it was settled, but both sides are bringing in
reinforcements.
This doesn't mean that the Ladakh border incident will lead to full
scale war. But something similar to the Ladakh border incident could
spiral into full-scale war tomorrow or next week or next month or next
year. In fact, we can be certain that it will happen. The only
question is when.
