Sasanka honey, I hate to tell you this, but I've been reading 1980s Cold War scare propaganda since literally the 1980s and India just never comes up

The Soviets took over the massive air and naval base at Cam Ranh Bay that the US had built, so they could fly patrol planes out of there and have ships resupply there. It wasn't really that important because the Soviets couldn't project power that far, but there were worries it could develop into a threat in the future.

Through the 1980s Vietnam was doing the 2nd Cambodian genocide and in a constant low level border war with China. But it wasn't thought about that much. Americans' attention was on Europe, the Middle East, and maybe a little bit on Korea.

Yeah cause America surrendered Asia north of the ASEAN after losing Vietnam and 1971. :marseylaugh:

The one country that was truly strategically vital (more than India) was Indonesia and we won there. Everything else in SE Asia was a sideshow.

Yeah I'm sure Vietnam not being vital was why 60k Americans died there :marseywink: That's more than total deaths in all the wars our army has fought :marseyemojirofl:

What's with these ridiculous copes lmao.

I guess you've never heard the phrase "the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time". Kid you really are out of your depth. :marseyfacepalm:

That's why there was a lot of opposition from military leaders from the beginning to getting involved. Vietnam was not of great strategic importance, but politicians didn't want bad headlines so they gradually dragged us into a huge war there.

If your leaders and public thought it was an important theater, enough to institute a draft for it, that's what your country believed. :marseyshrug: Dissent from certain individuals or condemning the efforts in hindsight doesn't erase the fact that you tried and failed to stem communism in mainland SEA. Retconning such an aim as unnecessary is Paki tier :marseycope:.

In fact throughout the cold war commies were on the advance, they suffered some reverses in Lat Am true but in Africa and Asia they were advancing everywhere. Including the ME. If Mother Russia didn't suddenly commit seppuku you'd likely have lost all of Eurasia+Africa to them eventually, save for the west EU holdouts and Japan/Philippines/Indonesia.

Or they go the way of Vietnam and open up to markets. :marseyshrug: Mozambique and many other dumb commie countries in the sub-Sahara are also going this route, except they're clutching a bit too hard to their socialist past (just like India was! :marseyangel:).

Mao was literally that dumb, and people didn't think the Jeets would be this incompetent. :marseyshrug:

Here's hoping Modi makes a Great Firewall of India to trap all the Jeets inside and save the world from digital Jeets.

India as a base for maritime patrol planes was a nuisance. So it was in the same category as Vietnam, Cuba and Guinea :marseylaugh:

The Soviets had thousands of ICBMs with MIRVs that could destroy our entire civilization in 30 minutes. India's nuclear arsenal was not intimidating.

Because they're just crazy enough to maybe use them. Are you arguing that India in the 1980s would have been insane enough to start a nuclear war?

I'd assume not but from the fact that Time magazine thought we could bully China in 1989 IDK.
