China Threatens War with India over Disputed Border; Will Begin MASSING TROOPS!

By: Hal Turner

China was prepared to engage India in a battle for contested land near the Sikkim border. The conflict appears to be developing from greater competition for economic and political dominance between the two leading Asian powers. Beijing now says it will begin to mass troops and armaments at the border for what they say is "anticipation for what could turn into an all-out war."

This isn’t the first time that these two nations have been at each other’s throats over their borders. In 1962 their armies clashed, leading to defeat of the Indian army, and thousands of casualties on both sides. Based on the rhetoric coming out of Beijing’s state sponsored media, it appears that China is more than willing replicate that conflict.

“China doesn’t recognize the land under the actual control of India is Indian territory. Bilateral border negotiations are still ongoing, but the atmosphere for negotiations has been poisoned by India,” said a China state-run Global Times’ op-ed.
“China doesn’t advocate and tries hard to avoid a military clash with India, but China doesn’t fear going to war to safeguard sovereignty either, and will make itself ready for a long-term confrontation.”

Of course, if war did break out again between China and India, there would be one significant difference from the Sino-Indian war of 1962. This time around, both nations would have hundreds of nuclear weapons. And it’s possible that Pakistan, another nuclear armed nation that India has fought border disputes with in the past, could also be swept into the conflict. It should go without saying that billions of lives are at stake every time these nations hurl threats of war at each other.

Americans often worry about various geopolitical hot-spots that could drag our nation into a world war. But they shouldn’t forget that there are plenty of places where another global war could start without our country ever lifting a finger. The whole planet is a powder keg these days.

Watch this situation closely for sudden and dramatic developments.
