1971 Indo-Pak War: How Russia sank Nixons gunboat diplomacy

contemplate this on the tree of woe

Whereas the Americans and the Brits have always conspired against us that's why it's perfectly fine to steal American jobs, isn't it? Americans had their gunboats, we have fourth rate H1B programmers.

Why did Nixon hate Indians so much?

Why did Nixon hate Indians so much?
Who knows? Perhaps it had to do with the Cold War's rigid stratification of the world into black and white. India was close to the Soviet Union whereas Pakistan was the vassal of the hegemonic United States. This may have been one of the reasons.

Another reason may have been that this crooked old codger was an out-and-out racist who hated brown and black people. Remember how he went to China to lick old Mao's stinking yellow a*s*s*hole?

Is it any wonder then that Nixon and Kissinger are two of the most despised figures in American history?

"All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie." BOB DYLAN

Back in those Cold War days, China was a huge unknown and you don't want it to turn over to your adversary's side.

Nixon and Kissinger had hatched a secret plan to open China to the western world, and their own government was kept in the dark.

So, the plan was Kissinger would visit Pakistan and then go to China, secretly. And he went too.

Nixon wanted to go down in history as the man who opened China to the world.

At this perfect moment, Pakistan decided to commit genocide in Bangladesh, and India simply refused to roll over and keep quiet, and instead stated creating a ruckus worldwide.

I guess the tension got the better of Nixon.
