Nothing in life is 0-1, its always a matter of degree. But 1 question remains unanswered (@VivekKatju ): Why is it that till recently (Dolam?), 90% of the world's elite (broadly defined) believed/supported Pakistan & China's version of their realations/interactions with us?

2/ #Myth of global credibility(on JK)is exposed by #Kargil reality; We were so scared of using aircraft to bomb Kargil heights (on our side of LOC) bcs bombs may fall on other side of LOC or a plane may cross it for a few secs, that we sacrificed 500 lives to scale Ladakh heights
3/risk Contrast this with Bangladesh, where we took risks to achieve Strategic victory. Tying your own hands behind back & sacrificing soldiers, is not national risk taking, killing other side's aggressing Jehadis & soldiers is risk taking(it requires frgn support,funds & planing
4/risk We could take the risk during Sino-USA detente, only bcs of the Indo-Soviet friendship treaty. Have no illusions. Risk taking in era of China-Pakistan alliance under a ruthless Communist dictator, will require the 21st C version of a "friendship treaty", with the USA.
