Sure enough, India is still manipulating the Maldives.
One thing after another has happened lately.
Do you remember where Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi went before the upcoming visit to China by Moiz of the Maldives?
The Indian archipelago of Lakshadweep is located just north of the Maldives.
He strolls along the Lakshadweep Islands, snorkeling one of the paintings of Modi reclining in a chaise longue in slippers, his left hand resting on his cheek, looking at the distant ocean with his heart preoccupied.
Modi tweeted at the time: "The beauty and calm of Laksha gave me a way to think about how to work harder for the happiness of 1.4 billion Indians." opportunities.
What was Modi's hard work like since he returned?
Now the answer has been revealed: India is setting up a military base in the Lakshadweep Islands.
The new base was officially inaugurated on March 6 and is located at a distance of 130 kilometers from the Maldives. This is more than 250 kilometers shorter than India's previous closest military base.
That is, the Maldives has just driven out the Indian garrison, while the hind India has established a military base near the Maldives.
The Indian Navy has also made a spade a spade that India wants to strengthen its military on an island of "great strategic importance" and that the new base will expand India's "operational surveillance" of the region.
Please note: combat surveillance!
Who to spy on?
Of course, the Maldives will feel the chill. The Indian army was driven away, but the Indian army turned its head and set up its cannon in front of the door.
However, India still hasn't stopped.
I noticed that when talking about the relationship between India and the Maldives, S Jaishankar, the prime minister of India, suddenly lost control of his emotions and scolded: "When the neighboring country is in trouble, those bullies will not give 4.5 billion US dollars." At the time of the outbreak, these bullies refused to vaccinate other countries. If there were wars in some parts of the world, the bullies would not have broken their own rules for food, fuel, and fertilizer. ”
Who do you mean by Jaishankar?
He didn't say it explicitly, but many people felt that he just wanted to warn the Maldives that China is unreliable and China is bullying you!
However, what makes people laugh and cry is that many people feel that the bully is here, and at first glance, why don't they think it is India.
It is important to know that there is a rise of resistance against the Maldives in India, Indian travel agencies have canceled trips to Malaysia, and Bollywood stars and players have called for an outright revolt, including the imposition of food and drug sanctions.
Tourism is the lifeblood of the Maldives and in the past it relied heavily on India for medicines and food.
But India is starting to pull salaries.
Not long ago, the angry Maldives ** Mouiz issued a generous statement, making it clear that the Maldives is not a subsidiary of any country, the Indian Ocean is not the territory of any country, and we may be young, but that does not make you qualified to bully us.
He went on to say that China respects the territorial integrity of the Maldives.
So, which country is bullying the Maldives?
Muiz didn't speak.
But if we are not stupid, this nation is Indian!
Now India is building another military base in front of the Maldives.
We can imagine that in state-to-state relations, China is not one of them. In the case of Russia, how would the United States react if Russia also built a military base more than 100 kilometers from the United States?
When missiles were deployed in Cuba, the United States was furious, and the United States and the Soviet Union almost went to war.
However, India is India.
What do you think in the end?
It's still a superficial three points.
First of all, we should not underestimate the importance of India.
I always say that we really can't underestimate India. Even I think that China's strategic competitors in the long run are the United States and India.
The United States needs no more to say. With a large population, a vast market, and rising great power ambitions, India is destined to occupy a pivotal position in the world of the future, surpassing Japan, Russia and many other countries in power.
Not to mention that the United States and the West have tried every means to win over India and become the main weight in maneuvering with the eastern powers.
We should not ignore India's development and potential, both its ambitions and Modi's means, out of love or not.
The second is that it is too hard to be a neighbor of India.
India's years have been impressive indeed; But we should also see that India does not have good relations with its various neighbors.
We leave the relationship between China and India alone.
There have been 3 wars in the relations between India and Pakistan; Relations between India and Nepal have been sporadic from time to time; Relations between India and Bangladesh have also been at odds; Relations between India and Sri Lanka: Is Sri Lanka not satisfied?
The only thing that's slightly better is probably Bhutan. But Bhutan's military and diplomatic power is completely controlled by India. Oh, there is Sikkim. Sikkim is no longer a country, but just an Indian state.
Why is the Maldives so angry?
When does India show respect for the sovereignty and dignity of the Maldives?
Being an Indian neighbor is probably the hardest thing in the world.
3. The Maldives still needs to be cautious!
Don't forget, on the rivers and lakes, there is an evaluation of Modi, "Modi's old immortal mana is boundless".
My understanding is half ridicule, half admiration, and of course, a little vigilance.
Modi's wrist is not like a vegetarian. So we found out that the Maldives was "disobedient".Modi immediately headed for the Lakshadweep archipelago. A separate military base is currently being established.
That is to plunge the cannon straight into the other party's door.
Mouiz**, you have to be extra cautious in the face of India and Modi's strategy!
