What took place on land at Galwan may happen again,this time on China Seas or in air over Taiwan straits. India sitting out rather than participating in such a confrontation between 🇨🇳🇷🇺 alliance & countries such as 🇯🇵🇦🇺🇫🇷🇬🇧 is no longer as certain as was case before 15 Jun 2020.
Being tied to both the US and the PRC is becoming untenable, as a worried Australia is finding out. That country, unlike Italy or Germany, seems to have read the tea leaves and has begun the process of de-coupling from China.
In contrast, India is still in the “non-aligned” box, maintaining a welter of conflicting relationships. The Lutyens Zone and its not small number of holdovers inside the government are still loath to admit that Russia is now China’s closest security partner.
In the South China Sea and in other locations, the possibility of kinetic conflict within a fairly short time span can no longer be ruled out.
