This is a follow up of the first review @ https://palepurshankar.blogspot.com/2020/03/the-corona-combat-review-of-situation.html General We are now into Day 10 of our lockdown. Midway point of Phase 1 of the battle with the Chinese Virus. Approaching Phase 2 shortly. Critical times ahead. Time for a review of the situation. The PM has spoken to us today. He has just told all of something very important. India is with Indians and Indians are with India. Though we are isolated we remain collected in this fight. Have faith. Economic packages have been rolled out for the poor and for taking care of the common man as well as the industry. At this point of time, I guess that is what the government can do, and it has done that. If the need arises more will be done. I am confident of that. At least for the needy. Overall, we are winning it where superpowers, wannabe superpowers, have been superpowers are losing / lost it. The collective response of India has been simply fantastic
1. Chinese propaganda reminded me of Saddam's infamous & empty talk of "Mother of all Wars" which ended up in Iraq's "Elite" revolutionary guards willfully surrendering to US led coalition!
ReplyDelete2. Besides that US has put Taiwan in a very perilous situation; especially safety & security of its who's-who in military and political leadership, both within the country and outside.
3. With Xi losing face especially in front of his own "Gen-Ys & millennials", he might actually commit himself for something cynical & sinister to satisfy his hurt ego * redeem his lost pride.
4. Xi knows militarily he cant threaten India at least directly, so his modus operandi imminently seems;
(a) Creating political unrest via his proxies/modules, and
(b) Cyber attacks
[As detailed by you in your MDW presentation]
I hope Indian political leadership is intently following the developements
