A bit speculative but in keeping with the norms that govern Chinas aggressive reactions to equivalent attacks. We are more prone under present dispensation to follow legalistic norms where announcement replaces aggressive action

A simple thought experiment: If the two commercial ships attacked by the US military in International waters had Chinese crew instead of Indian nationals, would the US have targeted them? And how would have China responded?

Tells you all you need to know about Modi’s 12 years.

@Abhimanyu1305 A horrendous happening, shows why tourism remains well below potential. Did anyone in authority respond by taking action to not only bring such perpetrators to justice and adopt corrective measures to prevent such happenings?

@bhatia_rk @Ignis_Rex The elections will only entrench military rule under a civilian garb would describe it not a limited but directed or controlled electoral democracy.
Agree “they are the only show in town” with emphasis on “show”

@HappymonJacob @horror06 Manner in which senior members of the Trump administration are targeting India and even accusing it of threatening American security appears to be casting India as an enemy rather than a friend or strategic partner Relations reduced to a narrow band

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

statements by Peter Navarro Lutnick and other Trump Cabinet members it’s sounds like the American Administration is targeting India as an enemy claiming it’s actions threaten American security. Once again are we becoming ‘estranged democracies’!?!?

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

@RealPNavarro Peter Navarro is doing a hatchet job on India Trump by listening to him and imposing a penal rate of tariffs is in practical terms destroying relations with India and turning determinedly built trust into distrust among the Indian populace.

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

American President Trump has let loose a tarrif terrorist in Peter Navarro who has adopted the agenda to single handedly destroy Americas relations with India.

Wang Yi’s visit is being celebrated in Delhi on a high note so is telecom with Putinbut what shall happen when Trump arrives at understandings withPutin on Ukraine & China on trade and Delhi is back on the peripheries. Has Delhi thought this through?

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

A very sobering analysis that clarifies that all three Russia China and India are moving closer to each other while hedging their bets on USA. Cautions Delhi to keep this in mind Fully endorse cautious approach towards Troika

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

Trump is an egoistic bully but Modi does not have ability to burst his balloon best to ignore him, keep doors open dealing with America on issues that are open to deals serving India’s core interests while building leverage in areas like critical metals. Etc

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

@ambkcsingh This a very sad decision for all of us who are dog lovers. Agree totally with the sentiments expressed by you.

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

@CAHimankSingla It’s obvious that all of this comes in the way of doing business and also strengthens inspection Raj with possibilities for pursuit of corrupt practices this needs to be urgently reviewed and remedial reformed process be put in place

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

The much detested Pak-India hyphenation is being reimposed by Trump expressing Praise for Munir’s Pakistan while he points the finger against ‘friend’ India. Wonder how and if GOI shall respond to being Trumped all around by Washington??

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

This is a statement that reflects contempt for India as Trump breathes fire on Russia. Wonder how PM Modi shall respond to his friend? Or shall all of this be treated in ‘silence’ while Trump praises energy deals with Pakistan & needles India?

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

@ambkcsingh Tit for tat exchanges in Parliament and focusing on past rather than spelling out how the strategic and security threat out of fused Pak-PRC now in the open is being written into a still missing but urgently needed security doctrine to be adopted soon

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

Piece by Adm Prakash places focus on strategic & security issues that fusedPAK-PRC threat poses to India and urgent Ned’s for GOI to adopt nations aims & security doctrine. Contrasts with aimless tit for tat exchanges on Op Sindoor

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

Trump is hitting India where it hurts most when he insists that tech industry pull out all it’s arrangements presently grounded out of America back home threatening India while GOI and Opposition attach no priority to this open threat??

[Preet Malik @preetmalik]

@VivekKatju While the visit could be explained as vital to progressing India’s interests the timing coinciding with Parliament in Session that to in the immediate vane of Operation Sindoor is frankly questionable. It’s suggestive of a reduced significance to Parliament
