2 小时 12 分钟I need to start with a disclaimer
because I work for the US government and they require you to do a disclaimer.
So the ideas that you're about to hear are my ideas.
They don't necessarily represent those of the US government, the US Navy Department,
the US Department of Defense, let alone the Naval War College where I work.
Are we all good on this?
All right.
So today I'm going to tell you a story of three protagonists, Russia, the United States and China.
that all wanted to work their magic on India and Pakistan, which didn't exactly appreciate it.
So two big topics.
One is intervening in someone else's problems, a cottage industry for the United States.
And also, before you do that, you really ought to check out the alignments.
Who's the primary adversary of whom?
How long has it been that way?
And also,
Ask these questions about all the neighbors and anyone who might want to crash the party along with you It's also a story of a series of limited wars.
What's a limited war?
It means it's or something less than regime change So however,
it turns out the governments that started that war are still in place and two of them resulted in quick victories the ideal and warfare the first one was the Sino-Indian War of 1962 and the other one was the Bangladesh War of Independence in 1971.
And these wars changed things in many short-term expected ways and then in many long-term highly unexpected ways.
