"They Need US To Be Their Ally": Mike Pompeo On India Amid China Standoff

Mr Pompeo is Right
We need US , they are present in East Asia to prevent A Chinese Domination of Japan , South Korea and other ASEAN countries
Why is someone else right about what's good for us?
How come Ajit Doval is wrong and Mike Pompeo is right?
Ajit Doval is NOT wrong
He is waiting for US elections
It is MEA that has its head in the clouds , because they are still dreaming about a Multi polar World
Basically, Doval is not in support of an alliance. He's not waiting for elections. He actually said that officially to the US, that India is its own side.
The world is going multipolar, which the US is doing its best to prevent.
India test-fires 10 missiles in 35 days. It is not a coincidence
The DRDO’s effort to fast-track development of ‘Made in India’ strategic nuclear and conventional missiles comes against the backdrop of China’s refusal to step back from the LAC.
The issue is not that of affordability, but that of reckless spending. This entire situation could have been avoided if the Chinese were not stupid enough to do what they did.
We can afford this deployment, but it's going to take its toll on men and materials over the long term. If you're thinking the deployment will magically disappear if we become allies with the US, then you are thinking the exact opposite, since the Chinese will simply become even more aggressive needing further increase in spending, including increased deployment all along the LAC, not just in Ladakh. Otoh, it's likely that the Chinese are looking for an exit instead. Even they can't afford this sort of deployment, not financially but in terms of men and material.
