I wonder who that Indian, and his political stance, is.

This vice-admeral is stupid. Since 1950, it has always been a triangular game among Soviet Russia, the US and China. It has always been the weaker, or less aggressive, 2 forming an informal alliance against the most powerful, or most aggressive. The reason is very simple. The weaker simple has to ask itself, "What would the most pwerful do AFTER we help it to destroy the other?"

Common sense dictates that there is only ONE choice.
