🧵 REPLAY ATTACK: WHY EMPIRES KEEP CRASHING THE SAME WAY

Everyone’s acting like the U.S. just discovered a masterstroke by backing India to box in China.

But history students know —

> This isn’t strategy. It’s a replay attack of the British Empire’s final gasps.

🚩 Back then, India was the crown jewel.

Today, it’s the “strategic counterweight.”

Same theatre, different actors, but the script hasn’t changed.

🛠️ West pumps arms, narratives, and alliances into the Indo-Pacific like it’s 1857 with better WiFi.

They forgot how that script ends:

— Mutiny, fragmentation, disillusionment, collapse.

🌐 Empires don’t learn.

They buffer overflow into familiar architectures.

They copy-paste their dominion logic onto every rising power.

They see demographics, ports, tech —

but never trauma, memory, or the cost of being someone else’s front line.

🪙 India should remember:

The last time it was a jewel,

it got looted, partitioned, and left holding the ruins.

📌 This isn’t foreign policy.

It’s imperial recursion.

Only difference:

This time, the codebase is written in dollars, not pounds.
