China intruded into Indian territory in 1962 & remains there. Issue since 1967 is abt perceptions of #LAC and #ability to #patrol within the #grey #zones btwn percied LACs. #CeeepingAcquisition refers to #PLA stealthily converting grey into black zones by excluding Indian patrols
#2/fp I have a problem with well informed critics (professing to be patriots), who deliberately confuse the public by treating grey areas as black, and vice versa, as it suits their narrative (raising suspicion its ideological or political)!
3/lad The #CreepingAcqusition within #Greyzones in #Ladakh since May 2020, has been apparent in satellite pictures. What was unclear till recently, was the precise limits of #GreyZones The public was therefore unable to check loosely worded assertions made in text, against maps!
Surely every serious national security strategist understands the distinction btwn Govts Geopolitical decisions and th military's detailed scenario planning & action program. A govt can decided on basis of expected value of outcome or worst case scenarios-the latter is paralyzing
2/ns The critical issue in China-India conflict is that,as of now (2020), #China controls the #escalatory ladder. So India's #National #Security Apparatus has to make assumptions about when and how #CCPpla will escalate, if it loses the first few steps on its escalatory ladder!
3/ns The worst case scenario for us is therefore the one in which after loosing previous escalations, #CCP China escalates to a full fledged war/attack on India, by shifting US-facing troops and highest quality equipment towards India. This has proved paralyzing for past Govts!🤔
