India for example will need clarification on how US intends to pursue CAATSA action on its S-400 acquiring. This is why so far Indian govt at least almost always pushes the "soft" cooperation as first thing when mentioning Quad....it is on wait and see mode....but existing military cooperation is moved and augmented into it in meantime (might as well).
Praise the Lord, the Omnipotent CAATSA will be a interesting history lesson for future generations.

Now, is India still stuck on S-400 or the news of alternatives start to come out to the surface?

They don't put their priority straight yet? That's why as a country we are more relaxed to talking with her allies instead

Btw

Chinese has gained a great area without firing a single shot though. What worried me the most is the area near Palawan Islands, that's very near of our Northern border

If somehow the U.S. "lost" against China in Asia, it'll be China who will force their values (and territory) to us. Gotta choose one of the unlikables, huh.

I wish there's a third superpower to balance this :D

Well , US hypocrisy is part of what hampered this quad building to be materialized .

You should looking at this as the weaknesses of democracy to begin with, there is many parties with different agenda and most of them can't see the biggest picture

This is what the Admins have to say for the time being
.

it saves space on our server
That's the risk when the forum grows, or it is preferred that the forum keep stagnant?
an original image which you took
Then isn't it like the forum take credits from member pic?
If the watermark is edited to also include member username that would be somewhat better, make it something like [DH-logo][email protected] (i think this will be enough if the main points is to promote this forum, because there is also possibility that pic from this place being reposted somewhere), credits to the member but as bonus this forum can nebeng exposure.
something from a official military or government source
Hmm... better not to try something like watermarking them picture.

currently the admins are discussing it, I'm not an admin, just a mod.

I'm sure the admins will come up with a wise solution for this.

Myanmar civil war to become proxy war between the U.S. vs China? Will this benefit us in regards to keeping the battlefield away from Natuna?
Maybe so far the biden admin doesn't seems to care much about burma though. But if it escalated to civil war there's maybe a chance the US might decided to back the pro-dem forces.

Well we have to see. Neither side is saying much for now...India has sent forces to get trained on it in Russia last year already (ongoing)....maybe something will get triggered when physical deliveries start or are imminent.

Proxy war simply mean its just another front of the larger conflict. Meaning the others front will still be active albeit in different form.
