They use Sir a lot too. "Sir stop drinking bat soup sir"

In all honesty you're right about them pretending to be a Westerner and using Nazi language a lot. However they also make a lot of grammatical mistakes. Somehow they can be offensive without projecting that loss of innocence

Yeh and there’s like hundreds of millions of them.

All unemployed 4chan tier racists.


CCP probably thought this was about time to humble the indians.

Chill out ... who really cares about what they think? All they need to know is that 50 of their soldiers were killed by spiked clubs and rocks, 60 more captured, and a grand total of 1000 to 4000 square kilometers territory lost. You should just be happy the Indians are wannabe Nazis instead of actual Nazis, who were pretty damn good at war lol.

Well they say we're the new Nazis

Perhaps they don't teach geography in India. Every Indian should look on a map, identify all the major rivers in their country, and trace them to their source. Then think and reflect on if they are really willing to provoke China. India can never truly be a threat to China.

To be fair the idea you can "turn off the taps" of India so to speak is a bit of a misconception. While many of India's rivers source from China and Tibet specifically, the rivers enlarge within Indian territory. From rainfall, ice melting and other sources joining in. So while China can do some level of damage to India's rivers, it's not as big as popularly imagined. Although China can still deal quite a bit of damage if required. But it won't amount to the Brahmaputra going completely dry.

But yes, having a portion of India's river sources in China would be a figurative and literal threat to India.

Well, if you control the source, then it doesn't take much imagination on what else you could do apart from just trying to stop the flow. Of course, with a conventional dam building program, it will be impossible to make the downstream river go completely dry. But remember, lack of clean water for human consumption and agricultural is already a very serious problem, so even a small reduction in the flow of India's main rivers could have catastrophic consequences.

That doesn't work as you imagine. Damming the rivers very upstream will only cut off a portion of the river's water supply. As mentioned the river enlarges significantly outside of China, from rainfall, glacier melt, and other sources (rivers have multiple sources besides the 'original' source). So China can't just cut off India's water supply. It'll only do damage to a certain percentage of water input into the rivers The rivers will still continuing enlarging. Although if China dams up everything then a certain percentage will be cut off, which will not be insignificant but not amounting to a 'closing the taps'.

Essentially some of India's bases are belong to China, whereas
All of China's bases are belong to China.

Damming rivers would have no effect on the total amount of water flowing downstream at all (apart from a negligible amount due to increased evaporation rates at the reservoir), unless you are also diverting the water through other means - that water still has to go downstream somehow. What it does allow you to control the timing and rate of that flow. That timing is very important when it comes to agricultural use, as agriculture does not consume water at even rates throughout the year.

What happens if China decides to dump Chemical and Biological hazards into the river sources upstream?
Im not talking brahmaPutra.
The other river sources.

Its China's land. Why care about those who are downstream? Especially when they want to take your territory and destroy you?
