Reply to comment by macross1984 in China has warned US officials not to interfere in its relationship with India: Pentagon by xyzmangaboi
I am not China but here is what I would do if I was China -
Cause border conflicts in India
Spread propaganda in the West that since India didn't help the West in Ukraine, The West shouldn't help India
West sends no aid to to India, So indians become angry
Spread propoganda in India that the West has always been anti-Indian and they haven't forgotten their colonial mentality
Effectively cripple every single alliance Indian and The West have at the cost 2-3 Chinese soldiers and maybe a 100 million dollars for the propaganda.
Laugh maniacly.

Not bad, that is quite plausible.

The issue is that people may believe that but the American government would salivate at an opportunity like that. Early Ukraine invasion for people watching you could see disinformation spreading around saying that we shouldn’t interfere with Ukraine for whatever reason. It didn’t work, for the reason I just stated. The US government has consistently never given up an opportunity to poke around big competitors, irregardless of what the people may think. You’ll have to be more creative then this.

I'm sorry, but did you just type out the word irregardless?

It’s not wrong, and sometimes sounds better

It absolutely does not sound better and it is wrong. It is a double negative. Irregardless means not regardless and I'm sick of language changing to match our degrading abilities.

You can do it, you see my error. Call me out.

It is a word though, and it’s not some new slang. Does it make sense? Not necessarily, but there are plenty of words in the English language that don’t follow the set standard. It’s sure as hell not worth getting upset over, and I don’t think any opinion is absolute.

If you typed out the word ain't I would say the same thing, it doesn't even abbreviate the word isn't.. Get my point? I wasn't angry or trying to insult.
My point was the fact that they typed out the entire word.. You have to admit that's different than saying it.

Yeah, US has reacted badly post Indian diplomatic stand. They have allowed military aid for Pakistan, then sent their diplomat to a contested territory. When India doesn't tow either American or Chinese intrest they make Pakistan to do it's dirty work.

It would have to be pakistan/india border conflicts. More skirmishes between China and India won't help their already strained relationship. It's also a big 'if' that the west wouldn't help if it was china initiating the skirmishes

>didn't help the West in Ukraine
They basically baited Ukraine to go to war with their own resources for US' benefit. I think that's beyond not helping.
Then there was also their awkward involvement in Taiwan and HK (largely a domestic matter for China.
As much as I don't think China is right, sometimes the rationale of US involvement is beyond me (at least I'd put it that way).
>West sends no aid to to India
Pretty probable.
