My quip was also a joke. The /s means sarcasm because it's impossible to convey that tone through text.
Ah, I did not know the meaning of /s
That said, does the destruction of multiple THAAD radar systems change your calculus on how effective American ballistic missile defence is at preventing China from achieving MAD? Personally, I see this development along with the rapidly depleting interceptor stockpiles as a reduction in the odds the US pivoting to China in the short term.
My personal calculus? It became clear to me that the US feared militarily challenging China since the parade last year. Their new strategy is to indirectly challenge China by killing little critters and stapling their corpses to its body to become bigger. China's biggest challenge is summed up in 2 questions: 1. do we challenge the US while it's losing its shit under Trump or do we wait until we're comprehensively stronger still? 2. How do we make the smoothest transition from the obvious death of Pax Americana to the birth of Pax Sinica?
They better give aka respect China’s sovereignty over Taiwan if they want PLA assistance.
No, we're not cheap like that. Taiwan is basically a solved question when it comes to capability. We earned that; they didn't give us anything. It's not theirs to trade. We will never send the PLA to assist in their atrocities directly or indirectly.

With the current intensity of both US and Israel Strikes on Iran, are there any possibilities of Iranian Air Defenses completely cracked within the next 3 weeks?

I based this hypothesis on the 5 week air campaign that coalition strikes on Iraqi Air Defenses during the Gulf War.

In fact everyone should read this and contrast it with what is happening right now. The American propaganda machine just isn't what it used to be.

OK, major part of discussion was on the issue of foreign policy, where the panel implied that peronal deal making has taken a precedence rather than the core issues of diplomacy, current crisis in Iran was main point of contention, as India has taken a very strong approach with Indian Prime Minister present in Israel in 26th of Februray, addressing their Knesset, making 20+ trade deals, pledging support to Israel, then having Israel and USA attacking Iran on 28th February, Issue was raised whether Modi knew about the plan that was supposedely in motion or was he gullible enough to not know that wheels were in motion for decapitating attack on Iran.

On the issue of Iran, India supposedly made 8 different statments condemning Iran on attacking its neighbours, making no statment after IRIS Dena was attacked and drowned in Indian ocean while visiting Vishakapatnam on India's Invitation, all of these without once mentioning that Israel and USA attacked and killed Iraning head of state and also a religious leader, took part in UNSC resolution in condeming Iran, after all of these when Strait of Hormuz closed, only then contacting Iranian leadership and begging for LPG ships to leave the Gulf, then issue of Quad and BRICS summit was raised, where India has the Chair for both of these orgnizations in year 2026, according to Panelists Quad was dead horse, its very reason for being (as check on Chinese rise and containing it) was gone, while issue of BRICS and voice of Global South was raised, where it was stated that India does not stand for any values when it comes to these nations and what will happen in BRICS summit when Iran as prominent member of BRICS will surely be invited with India having such a unbalanced relationship with Israel during/before this ongoing conflict between Iran and USA and Israel.

Also there are also some domestic issues were discussed like cronyism was raised, why a certain individual (if you don't know his name, then you don't follow India) and his companies are getting all the contracts and its impact on foreign policy (as its now very unbalanced) vis a vis USA is concerned as its 5 time they were dictated from which country to not buy the discounted oil (Iran, Venezuela and Russia) then getting one month waiver of getting back to Russia and begging for the oil (with no discount), hopefuly you get the gist.

Thanks for the write up.

That is why I would not recommend anyone watch that video, because if we know anything about India, they just keep talking in a circle going over the same topics, and how that things did not go India's way as it just went sideways, then they talk around it, then talk some about another topic was was similar to the previous of how that worked itself out.

That is the Indian story since the 1950's!

It is that wheel in Hinduism, where we reincarnate. That is India the nation in a nutshell. The lackluster policies and results reincarnate.

The average Indian deserves better. It will never happen.

Trump is threatening NATO countries to send ships to the Strait of Hormuz. So I bet he thinks China is begging to have him visit hence why he’s demanding China send ships too or else he won’t go to China. Remember, it was Michael Pillsbury that told Trump Chinese people love him and what do Westerners believe the most? They think people will start a revolution if denied Westerners from them.

The NATO part isn't going well either:

What happened to the almighty US military they advertised as the bestest and most strongest military that can destroy all that it purveys? They got struck by Iran, they gave excuses and now they are begging for help. This guy Trump is no good for the US, he's completely shattering the mystic of the country and turning it into a laughing stock.

In the first part of the video about 20 minutes, Erik Prince explains it well.
