Ladakh Flash Point

When you are out in the field, things are messy. Mistakes are undoubtedly made, always and constantly. The key is to see how you respond and recover. The Indians had numerical and equipment superiority (you can see that, initially, the PLA soldiers and officers were all empty-handed while the Indian troops all had sticks and shields). The Indians caught the Chinese in a surprise. And they managed to take out the commanding officer of the PLA at the very beginning. The Indians had everything going for them. They had all the elements that they needed to land a landslide victory. However, they failed to monopolize their initial advantages. The Indians failed to advance and secure the location while the PLA was severely damaged. They allowed the PLA to hold their position even with inferior number and equipment and without commanding officers. They gave the PLA time for them to send in reinforcement, which resulted in their eventual loss. Tactically, this is an embarrassing loss for the Indians. They did not lose amid difficult situations. They lost despite overwhelming advantages on almost every aspect.

This conflict definitely shows the training and discipline of the PLA troops. Many have speculated that, after 40 years of peace, the PLA can no longer fight. Being the only kids in their families and grown up in good conditions, they have been so spoiled that they can no longer handle hardship. Well, this conflict shows that this is not true at all. They are not some spoiled kids who cry and run back to their moms when in trouble. Despite the initial overwhelming disadvantage and when facing almost certain death, they stood their ground and fought not only hard, but even more importantly in a very organized and disciplined manner. This is a well-trained and well-experienced and professional military.

I guess the new math formula Indians are using now is
X (x) 100= PLA deaths

The idea that anyone who can live in these conditions for years can be a softy is preposterous to start with.

I had the tv on yesterday evening, 60 minutes or some show was running an interview on how it was necessary to deplatform Qanon conspiracy online and the only regret was the gov and tech elite didnt act sooner...

"Deplatform" really is collective coordinated censorship...

Imagine if Joshua Wong or that Apple hk guy was "deplatformed" like the way they deplatformed Alex Jones, or even Trump for that matter.

Now the US, adept at so called color revolutions and false flag operations (see Northwoods, Mockingbird, etc) just has to make up a fictional narrative to achieve a politicial agenda. Whenever someone calls out the US for these criminal and evil acts they get labeled a conspiracy theorists, then promptly silenced and deplatformed...

Yet Amerikkka is still land of the free and home of the brave with bill of rights, freedumb of speech, and all that. Have cake and eat it too, all part of the 5G infowars

India is a supposedly democrazy... look at where its now compared to China... at the end of the day blind adherences to false doctrines does not a superpower make

Well, if the PLA troops have been living in heated dorms, eating hot pots and enjoying 5G, they have been living in luxury. That would make them softy, I guess... You need to be starved and frozen to the brink of extinction to qualify as being tough... Uh... Are we Texans now qualified as tough people now? I guess I'm still a softy since I've never lost power last week
