Tensions between China and India are reaching a multi-decade worst today, as troops on both sides exchanged fire along the disputed border at Kashmir. Both sides are blaming the other for provocations, and said they fired “warning shots.”
There was fighting along the border back in mid-June, with troops on both sides using metal bats to beat one another to death, and officials proudly assuring that there was no gunfire. Today’s gunfire is the first confirmed shots fired since 1975.
Both nations massed troops at the Line of Actual Control (LAC) back in June, and seemingly were waiting for an excuse to start fighting. Both sides are ssaying the other started this, with Chinese officials saying Indian troops “blatantly fired” on the border patrol, and India saying Chinese troops fired first to intimidate them.
The land along the border for both countries is relatively unimportant, but both sides have committed much of their national respect to the idea that they won’t allow themselves to be brushed aside in the area, risking this turning into a much bigger conflict.

The Hindutva nuts are suffering from the delusion that India is a co-equal power with China. Modi should focus on fundamentals, like building toilets and providing clean water for the people.
They literally imagine that India is the centre of the universe. A few days ago I was informed by a Modifellating Bhaktonazi on Quora that Trump would start a world war against China to help India and that ISIS would take the opportunity to attack India. By the way, if you want to have a look at the Modiganda purveyors who manufacture fake news to put out on WhatsApp, take a look at the hoax busting site altnews.in
Don’t forget that there is mounting opposition to Modi here in India, especially among the young. That’s why Modi’s starting these confrontations to distract attention and paint all opponents as traitors.
Modern day Hitler, War Criminal Fascist Terrorist Butcher of Minorities: Indian PM Narender Modi, HMS, RSS Goons & Their Coward Forces can only do Genocide, Heinous Crimes, Crucify Innocent Unarmed Muslims in illegally Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir Area, now also within India, doing same Atrocities against Christians, Sikh Nation, Muslims, Dalits, Low Cast Hindus & Other Minorities, with the Blessings of Real War Criminal Terrorist; U.S.A., West European Countries & Oil Rich ME Traitor Muslim Rulers for few economic benefits etc., etc.,
It is yet another attempt by the Modi regime to distract attention from its disastrous handling of the Indian economy, which was already on life support in 2019 and post COVID-19 is in the morgue. Modi’s own periodic monologues, which are called “man ki baat” (words from the mind) that substitute for media conferences, and which are derisively known as Monkey Butt to anyone not enamoured of the regime, fell flat this time, with so much adverse comment on YouTube that the regime disabled commenting and downvoting on its Monkey Butt videos on YouTube. The regime knows only one way to distract attention, by creating a border confrontation.
