What is this two-front war? Against whom?
The losers cant even tackle domestic war with commies. Like 100 police die every two weeks in commie attacks. Makes me believe China could just walk in and take Delhi if they wanted to. I'm pretty sure they could totally crush Indian army.

There are big differences between the two front situation and the naxal situation. The naxals are able to do what they do largely because of political patronage from the congis. Their links with the congis are very deep. Note that they act mostly in non-congi ruled states and mysteriously disaapear the moment the inc is in power.....
The congis for all their stupidity/weakness and lack of uncompromising nationalism wont patronise the china/pak axis...
The security forces have brought to controllable levels violence unleashed by jehadis in the kashmir valley - these elements have far more resources etc behind them than the maoists...also, the armed forces are not the crpf...
There was a 2 front threat in 1965, 1971 and the mid-1980s, when we were relatively much weaker than china-pak ... no nukes, for example. The only thing we need to do to ensure that two front conflict does not become reality is to get rid of the nuclear NFU commitment (or at least, make that commitment ambiguous enough for the other side to understand that in the worst case, we will escalate to nukes at a time that cannot be predicted ireespective of the annihilation that will happen to us afterwards....
Security will increase further if we strengthen our deterrent by testing TNs....till then, we make do with untested POK-II based TNs. A-III must be deployed at the earliest, with A-V also developed on an urgent basis....
In any case, my reading is that there is a 2 year or so window of opportunity they have to thrust a two front war on us. Once enough A-III are in place, with A-V beginning induction, the costs for them will be simply too high....According to BK, there would be reasonable A-III numbers in place by now...I am assuming delays and speculating on a 2 yr window of opportunity the other side has. Maybe chandraguptaji knows more abt A-iii/V situation.
