🧵 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.
