To Counter China, USA & India agree to build US military bases on Indian Soil Near Sino-Indian Border
By John C from Nottingham.
In an effort to expand its empire, Americans have cajoled Indians into selling their Beloved Mother India to the Caucasian-Aryan Master race, yet again. Remember the Indian Subcontinent under the British Empire?
Back then the British infiltrated the Indians through their East India Company. These days Americans are plotting similar infiltration through companies such as Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and

And many more. In their latest attempt to threaten China, Americans have decided to establish military bases on Indian Soil. The United States and India signed an agreement governing the use of each other’s land, air and naval bases for repair and resupply, a step toward building defense ties as they seek to counter the growing maritime assertiveness of China. The agreement, a relatively mundane one concerning day-to-day military logistics, is nonetheless a milestone in the US-India defense relationship because of the outsized political importance it had taken on in India, where it had touched on domestic sensitivities, experts said.
Washington’s desire for deeper security cooperation with India had been complicated without the signing of the logistics agreement as well as two other pacts that would allow for secure communications and the exchange of nautical and other data. The agreements are considered routine between the United States and its other defense partners.
But India has had concerns such an agreement would commit it to hosting US troops at its bases, or draw it into a military alliance with the United States and undermine its traditional autonomy. Carter and Parrikar reached an agreement “in principle” in April, but had yet to finalise the details.
Carter has made closer military ties with India a priority, and established a special unit within the Pentagon last year to promote cooperation with that country. Parrikar’s visit to Washington this week marks the sixth interaction between the two top defense officials.
The signing of the logistics agreement indicates the priority the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi places on a closer defense relationship with the United States, said Benjamin Schwartz, until last year the India country director at the Pentagon.
The US military has made clear it wants to do more with India, especially in countering China, which US officials say is risking stoking conflict through its claims in the South China Sea, a vital trade waterway.
Without naming China, both Carter and Parrikar mentioned the importance of the free flow of trade to both countries.
“India and the United States have a shared interest in freedom of navigation and overflight and unimpeded commerce as part of rule-based order in (the) Indo-Pacific,” Parrikar said.
tl;dr
Will they be able to overtake the British Empire as the largest empire of all time in the coming centuries? Only time will tell!
