| 2013-10-24 |
| [Pak Daily Times] Pakistain on Wednesday said that continued violations of the Line of Control by India were unfortunate and alarming, and might further escalate tensions, undermining efforts to improve relations. Foreign Office front man Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry, in a statement, said that during the last two days, Indian troops had intensified violations and carried out unprovoked firing on working boundary in Pukhlian, Chaprar, Harpal, and Charwah sectors near Sialkot. He said the indiscriminate shelling on civilian population and targeting of 27 Pak posts had resulted in casualty of two civilians and one security official and serious injuries to 26 civilians. The front man said the Indian Border Security Force had fired almost 4,000 mortar shells and 59,000 rounds of machinegun, escalating tension across the LoC and the working boundary. The Pak security forces exercised restraint and gave a measured and calibrated response to the unprovoked Indian aggression, he added. "The continued violations are unfortunate and alarming which may further escalate the tension." |

| #2 Not a good time as Pak BFF CHINA is standing firm + becom increasingly hardline agz Japan + PHIL, ASEAN in the ECE + SCS. The GOP-Dem debt deal does nothing to ned the sequester, espec as per the Pentagon. E.g. WORLD NEWS > [Fox News] US ARMY CHIEF: JUST TWO BRIGADES COMBAT-READY. * RELATED SAME > US ARMY VULNERABLE TO NIGHTMARE SITUATION. versus * CHINA DAILY FORUM > [PolicyMic] ASEAN COULD BECOME GROUND ZERO FOR ANOTHER PROXY WAR. China's closest proxy = surrogate would be Nuke-armed Muslim Pakistan, espec vee INDIA - howvever, IMO I highly doubt China will prefer to leave to any proxies in any East Asia mil conflict agz the US-Allies. * WORLD NEWS > US NAVAL STRIKE GROUP SHRUGS OFF PYONGYANG THREATS. "Post-US", "Mahanist" China is deadly serious about securing "sole" strategic access for the PLA throughout the "First Island Chain" ASAP AMAP by 2020, so this is NOT a time for the US Navy-DOD to become complacent just because its from "Pudgy" = NOKOR. * WORLD MILITARY FORUM > EXPERT: ROUTINE CHINESE NAVAL EXERCISES IN WESTPAC NEAR GUAM BASE SHOWS THAT THE "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN" HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY "DISMEMBERED", + ITS HISTORICAL BARRIERS OVERCOME BY CHINA + PLA. The DPRK has three probs ... > BREAKING CHINESE DOMINATION + PREVENTING FORMAL CHINESE ANNEXATION OF THE COUNTRY. > REUNIFICATION WID SOUTH KOREA UNDER KOREAN-ONLY SOVEREIGNTY. > SURVIVING ANY MAJOR WAR ON THE PENINSULA OR NE ASIA REGION BETWEEN CHINA + US-ALLIES. |
