I detest using or following the use of "Indo-Pacific" from what's been traditionally known term which is Asia-Pacific. Doing so means we're already buying into the artificial narrative the Americans have instigated and hooked it's allies to follow.

The German Navy Chief Vice Admiral Kay-Achim Schönbach, who never studied economics but "education" is "whitesplaining" to Indians how China debt-traps Africa and so how good Westerners are.
Funny on how the German chief brought up MALI in the West Africa when the people in Mali are not demonstrating against China at the moment but are demanding FRANCE to leave the 8th-largest country in Africa.
The above perfectly demonstrates Western intellectual bankruptcy.
They send a military chief who then starts talking about politics, economics, geopolitics, technology etc
Seeing the behind the scenes conversations I am convinced that the western "power" is much less than I thought.
Keep sending the military guys to talk about geopolitics and economy lol
Reagan's star war was a fucking bluff at the time, Gorbachev, The Sucker, believed it. Reagan sensed the weakness of the USSR, he chose to run it down through arm race. they can't play that trick against China, but they may resort to more risky, more desperate measures. so, be prepared.
HE also mentions that he is right because he is a Roman Catholic. He also mentions Russia is a rival deserving respect because it is Christian even if Vladimir Putin is not.
The German military has simply followed and emulated the footsteps paved for them by their superiors in America. As Dana Priest (former Washington Post columnists and author) wrote in her book titled "the Mission" in it she describes then growing responsibilities of the Commander-In-Chiefs (Rumsfeld changed the label to combatant commanders because he saw rhetoric military designated moniker as encroaching on the supremacy of civilian control of the military)
Four-star generals who lead the military during wartime reign like proconsuls abroad in peacetime. Secretive Green Berets trained to hunt down terrorists are assigned to seduce ruthless authoritarian regimes. Pimply young soldiers taught to seize airstrips instead play mayor, detective, and social worker in a gung-ho but ill-fated attempt to rebuild a nation after the fighting stops.
It described America's growing dependence on their military to manage world affairs, describing a clash of culture and purpose through the eyes of soldiers and officers themselves. And the reasons why Combatant commanders in America started to encroach on what's traditionally been the turf of the state Department was due to first and foremost lack of funding and the ubiquitous use and application of military force to just about every problem the Americans face which means that every problem they see looks like a nail and therefore a hammer (US military) must be applied with extreme prejudice.
The situation with Germany is beyond exceptional since Germany has neglected it's own foreign policy responsibility, not to mention the military being woefully underfunded and ill-equipped. Read the publications and studies on Germany’s anemic armed forces they are nowhere near the power most people assumed them to be. Not to mention the growing right wing movement inside the German military which is causing a lot of strain and issues that if left unresolved could seriously threaten the stability of that country.
Which means the current German Navy Chief is doing his bellecosity deliberately which is to force the German politicians to pick a side (Anglo-Saxon side) which would mean the arming and funding of not just the navy but that of the German military. And as much as we try to avoid racializing the geopolitical tension we would be either too naive and too stupid not to acknowledge that reality which is RACE MATTERS. The notion that the white western led world will be led in almost key important metrics by a non-white country is going to be a reality that's hard to swallow let alone accept.
And am bold enough to posit that the conquest and pillaging of the Golden Horde in Europe hasn't yet been totally shaken off nor forgotten. It maybe a specious argument to some but I find that seminal event in history still ripples and echoes in our time.

I don’t know if that is wise as the American officials might enjoy that…
Shouldn't the
So if Indians are wise and is strategic with their vision they wouldn't and should not seek a China that's severely weakened because the balancing force that prevents other powers from poking at India that can impede, harm, and destroy their country would all come to bear since India will be seen and labeled as a threat to western hegemony regardless of India's standing or political system. They have a number of flaws that can be exploited and expanded to make it look like India is also a threat to world peace and all that's good in the world.
Hindustan and Jai Hind interpret that pronouncements as a future trouble for their country as well? Meaning to say that whatever adjectives are described or applied to China can also interchangeablly be applied to India at a later date, if and when they get to that point.

That's a big if.
However I have to say that for India it must be dissapointing how few benefits it has gotten from the West by jumping on its side.
No FTA, No ToT, No serious investment
They're being treated like a slave and am sorry to say this but that's what it looks like to me. What's the difference from how they were utilized before during British India to now?
