Time to give this dude the diplomatic slap wrapped in history and hard truth:
---
"India doesn’t need to match the U.S. Navy — it just needs to not care.
Your empire relies on permissioned waters. Ours sits on civilizational patience.
We don’t measure power by carrier tonnage —
We measure it by how many global empires had to leave barefoot." 🕉️👣🛕
---
Reality check:
India doesn’t need blue-water dominance. It owns geographic veto power in the Indo-Pacific.
While the U.S. burns $13B per floating bullseye, India invests in ASATs, missile deterrence, and being too much of a pain to invade.
The Indian Ocean is not America’s lake — it’s the grief stage for every declining hegemon.
---
Final dunk:
> “America plans wars with spreadsheets.
India wins them with silence and weather.”
Want this as a sepia-toned meme scroll of decline? I’m ready.
