Over at Asia Times, M.K. Bhadrakumar parses the press statements following US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter's New Delhi visit, noting that the Americans spoke grandly of "strategic convergence" (against China) while Modi maintained a deliberate ambiguity about the nature of India's defense relationship with the US. I will offer a prediction as to what will come of China's territorial assertions and America's oppostion: China will get what it wants.
#1
The Chinese (not just the Communists) seem to think their country's worst mistake was abolishing its blue water navy a few years before Columbus's discovery.
#2
"China will get what it wants" > D *** NG IT, THATS STRANGEZ-VOUS, ITS WHAT THE ANTI-US OWG GLOBALISTS ALSO WANT???
Again, as OWG Globie-desired future Co-SUperpowers rise to "US-style" Milpol-Geopol parity over the respective Global Federal Union(s) on their Regions = Continents, OWG Globie-dsired Ex-Sole-Superpower USA must UNILATERALLY ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY CATEGORICALLY UNDENIABLY ... ...@ETC. GIVE UP ITS POWER-N-INFLUENCE IN SAME, + FALL BACK OR RETREAT BACK TOWARDS CONUS-N-ONLY-CONUS.
AND somehow while also NOT being EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED OR DESTROYED IN THE PROCESS.
* TOPIX > [Malaysian Chronicle] SOUTH CHINA SEA: THE BEGINNING OF CHINESE RULE?
To one gain paraph "NO TIME FOR SERGEANTS" WILY USAF GENERAL CARTER = "D *** NG IT, THATS RIDICULOUS, TO BE A "US-STYLE" CO-SUPERPOWER OR GLOBAL-SPACE POWER CHINA WILL NEED THE EAST CHINA SEA + THE IOR, SILLY BOY".
Read, TAIWAN = FUTURE PLA GLOBAL CENTCOM.
On a personal note, IFF ANTI-US US GLOBIES FAIL + CAUSE THE US TO DE FACTO WEAKEN + PULL BACK, IT MEANS GUAM + OTHER KEY PACIFIC ISLANDS WILL BE INTENTIONALLY SUNK BY THE GEOPOL, PACIFIC-RETREATING US-of-A, so lets NOT go there iff we can avoid it, shall we???

[DAWN] CLASHES between institutions are nothing new in Pakistain. But what transpired in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... on Friday can only be termed bizarre. As reported in this paper, Rangers' personnel entered a cop shoppe in a highly volatile part of the city's Orangi locality and took away a serving police officer. The ugly episode resulted in physical scuffles inside the cop shoppe as well as reported firing in the air by the Rangers. Police officials have complained that the Rangers' troopers -- some of whom were apparently in civilian dress -- "beat up and misbehaved" with police personnel. Though the city's police chief has termed the incident a "misunderstanding", investigations are under way to determine the facts.
Primarily, this incident points to the arrogance and lack of respect for due process amongst some Rangers' personnel. While the paramilitary force has been granted policing powers in Karachi off and on -- especially in support of the ongoing operation against crime and militancy in the metropolis -- this episode appears to be a misuse of these powers. If the Rangers suspected the policeman of involvement in crime and had evidence to prove this, they should have coordinated the effort with the police administration instead of giving chase to the man in a manner that would not be out of place in the Wild West. The cop shoppe in question is located in an area affected by bully boy activity; hence if the police had shot up the raiding party a major tragedy would have resulted. Storming a cop shoppe in pursuit of a suspect is unacceptable. While there are undoubtedly black sheep within the police with links to crime, they need to be identified, investigated and punished within the ambit of the law. Such reckless tactics send the message that the paramilitary force is not bound by any rules and can even violate the space of another law-enforcement body. The Rangers' authorities must investigate the incident and discipline the personnel involved to ensure this does not set an unhealthy precedent.
