One of the things I've always enjoyed about this blog is its heavy international flavor, both in the posts Galrahn and others have written and in the responses thereto. Especially gratifying to me has been the coverage of India, a nation whose strategic significance increases with each passing year.
The Washington Post joins the chorus this morning with an article on the opportunity US defense firms see in India's defense buildup. The last administration went a long way in advancing US/Indian relations, and I am hopeful that the present administration will continue the trend.
Eventually, the Taiwan issue will be go away, and the true nature of our competition with China will be manifest. Development of a close friendship with India--perhaps even an alliance--seems to me a prudent topic for consideration as we look to counterbalance China and reassure allies in the Western Pacific.
For in-depth coverage of the Indian Political-Military scene, I recommend 8ak.in "The Only Website You Need For Indian Defence News and Analysis".
