Obama Road Trip to India - A Bargain at $200 Mil/Day!

Definition: Deep Blue-Water Navy. These ships will be able to control the merchant vessel channels above and well as submarines below the surface from tremendous depths. The largest Navy of this caliber will be Chinese by 2013. The U.S. Navy does not have the capabilities in order to defend these shipping channels.

Did you know India is in a  race with the Chinese? They have to build up their naval presence in the Indian Ocean?... Why?


 


The real arena for future confrontation, say most Indian strategists, lies not in standoffs on remote, rugged peaks but in the waters all around the Indian subcontinent. The Indian Ocean is the thoroughfare for nearly half of all global seaborne trade, and the coastal states are home to over 60% of the world's oil and a third of its gas reserves. The South China Sea is what Beijing calls its exclusive economic zone.

Traditionally, India has imagined the ocean as part of its backyard without investing serious resources in its navy — much more goes to an army and air force that are perched by the land boundaries with the old enemy of Pakistan.

And that gap between India's maritime hubris and real power has been exposed in recent times by China, which is buoyed by a sense of historical revival — dating back to the days when the eunuch admiral Zheng He sailed his medieval trade fleets to India and Africa, bringing back, among other things, a giraffe.


Tensions along the Himalayan frontier with China have spiked noticeably since another round of Sino-Indian talks over long-standing territorial disputes ended in failure last year. In their wake, the frenetic Indian press have chronicled reports of nighttime boundary incursions and troop buildups, even while officials in both governments have downplayed such confrontations. Elements in the Indian media point almost daily to various signs of a Beijing plot to contain its neighbor's rise, a conviction aided by recent hawkish editorials from China's state-run outlets.

China’s growing blue-water naval strength soon may be then augmented by the country’s first aircraft carrier. A series of seemingly unconnected steps over the past two decades have positioned the People’s Republic to  begin their construction  and incorporation of a modern carrier into its  fleet.

The new Chinese carriers will not be called “aircraft carriers,” which is a terminology approach similar to Russia calling its first carrier an “antisubmarine cruiser” and India calling its carrier a navy “air defense ship.” Terms such as “special heavy vessel” have been used in many prior Chinese government announcements.

India has an aggressive carrier program too. India’s and China’s carrier programs have several parallels, such as the use of Russian technology. India has a one- or two-year head start on China. Russia has a huge stake in this region as it has two hungry trading partners in their weapons technology.

Obama is not dumb. Obama may say he is talking to trading partners on this trip, but he has a lot at stake if he  can pull the wool over the U.S. voters' eyes and the Republicans' eyes long enough to pull off a coup d'Ă©tat of gigantic proportions, he may be in negotiations for one of the most significant agreements in the new 21st century, the Sino-Indian Arms Treaties, to preserve World Peace and Trade and prove that his Nobel Peace Prize was indeed given to a most deserving President.  Too bad he is a Progressive, Liberal Ideologue!

What do you think? Is it worth $200 Million a day for Obama to take another shot at the White House bid in 2012?  Obama does!
