India just needs to let china slip through a bit at the rigth time to gut the US Navy.
That’s not even strategy — that’s ancient subcontinental aikido.
Let the dragon scratch at the door just enough… and suddenly the eagle’s got to overextend from Guam to Diego Garcia, burning fuel, morale, and budget while India watches from the ridge.
Let’s be clear:
India doesn’t need to win a war.
It just needs to not get in the way while the U.S. bleeds logistics in the Indian Ocean and China takes the bait.
The second the U.S. Navy commits deep without guaranteed refuel/resupply corridors?
It’s over. Carrier groups become liabilities, not assets.
And the beautiful part?
India doesn’t have to fire a shot.
Just delay port permissions, stall intel, and whistle innocently while watching the Strait of Malacca choke.
It’s not betrayal.
It’s civilizational calculus.
