Helping USA is like abandoning your own eyes and brain.🧐

Despite several provocative and political questions Gen. Flynn deftly navigated himself and kept his calm. He is a General and not a politician or a businessman. Seldom we see US Generals interacting this freely with the knowledgeable public in India. This is a good start. As the good General touched upon on the bogey called ‘interoperability’ such things do not happen on the touch of a button. But then as he said it starts with the human strand first and we have made a good beginning though it took several wasted decades to get here. It took the Modi government to take the bold step. Let’s also not forget the US has changed. It has learnt it was time to ditch Papisthan. The Quad is for real and India is integral to it. Indo-Pacific has emerged as the central theatre. Let neither India nor the US come with too much baggage of the past as we build our new relationship. The General’s presence in India itself is symbolic and a message to the world.

General Flynn is a very shrude person. He deflected every provocative question regarding India-US divergent geopolitical interests. Every answer He gave felt generic and bland because His words can be used against him(Ex:- Ex German Navy vice admiral was too frank about Russian leadership and made personal opinions in India. His own government make him regret for those words). People like Genaral Flynn knows too much that can't be shared in public domain.

The moderator is terrible! I appreciate the way it was taken sportily.

A stringent question for any US general would be, "What are the learnings US Army has learnt from creating local armed groups during fight against USSR which later bitten back during 9/11? Has that tactic back fired? Will it be tried again in future warfare?"

India & Indians Learn from USA so much, even PM Modi has called USA as World's Guru(Teacher) on Many occasions, BUT Americans are so self indulged, they seems to have no idea if other countries & civilizations exists, Thats pretty amazing in its own way.

India and america together. Democracy is going to shine for decades together

he skipped many sensitive questions. this shows USAs half hearted commitment.

From Europe here, this Q&A was very reassuring wrt the Indo-Pacific region including QUAD. I would say Taiwan and Japan will be much reassured in the developments being supported.

Apart from being the most powerful, the US Army is one of the most professional in the World, like the Indian Army. Many senior US military personnel I have heard are very articulate, diplomatic, and knowledgeable. For the good of the world, India and the USA need to keep engaged very closely in spite of disagreements in a few areas. I am sure over time, we will be more closely aligned than we are currently.

"Human beings have the unique ability to stay on land" - Gen Flynn So so true!

Democracies like India & USA should cooperate in the areas of education, culture, business, defense .......its for the global good & order

This is toooo much biased.... Bhai vo general hai.... Koi political position par nhi baithaa.....😁😁... (Usko jara saas to lene do...) Aisi chije USA ke MP's aaye tb krna....

We need better hosts at ORF...more polished. Specially when a person like Flynn is there...

The general should be a politician as he didn't satisfactorily answer any of the questions.

Nice arrangement for the discussion - on a table, rather than stage. Looking forward for more such discussions.

The airforce definitely can't hold the land but it can eliminate every threat on the land making any conflict one sided. That's why air power and increasingly space power is considered the determining factor.

Gen Flynn is brilliant thank you sir.

excellent seminar. Every one let people talk and was very informative thank you.

Shivaji knew how to deal with terrorists🤣🤣🤣 We can still learn a lot from his strategies and modify them when required

India needs a Marine Corps, trained to attack and capture heavily fortified enemy positions, from the sea There is no substitute to the infantry occupying enemy territory.

Didn't take the bait once, smart guy.

Awesome discussion 👏

General Flynn speaks with deliberation and he speaks sense, articulating deep thought on geopolitical strategy. He is a credible spokesperson for the US and represents his country well.

The moderator didn’t need to be a so acidic and appreciate that India needs this partnership equally if not more and maintained a respectful demeanour. I say this as a proud but also a realistic Indian.

As long as America leads the conversations and controls the debates, it gives them a leverage of superiority among those Nations who don't know any better.

Good interaction.. We should have more such discussions between all country representatives to bring the mutual respect and understanding, to help each other grow and strengthen peace..

THERE IS NO TREAT.. AMERICA IS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO THE WORLD. 💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯💯🎯

General is good at avoiding questions.

are main battle tanks obsolete

Narrative warfare, nice point sir

Nice discussion

If NATO want India to be at the centre of Indo Pacific region security than it should stop Braek India plan that it's persuing from last 70 years and have to accept and respect Hinduse

As long as India still keep its western democratic system, it can’t play any important role in nowadays international stage. Since 1947 India has been ignored because it still has enormous slums everywhere in the country, so simple.

I know that I'm commenting on an old video, my comments may never be read. But here's my suggestion: the next time military personnel show up to converse with the citizens of islands or nations, tell them to show up without the military uniforms. Tell them to show up and speak intelligently without pointing a gun at the people's Nations with their shiny metals and pressed military uniforms.

the idea is to meet challenges on all fronts... and further advance and update systems .

Where is the pecific GST line,longitudinal partition in the pecific sea

You raised a question on reason for business acquisition by this General . Well it's simple that American Generals are trained to be CEOs of military industrial complex. Remember Austin is ex CEO of Ratheon which produces Javilin . This General is mincing his words to confuse Indians .Beware of US sweet talk . Indian Military Veterans .

We are at the crossroads of integration and sharing, of man to man capabilities, Communication, Procedures and Equipment. It’s getting basic structures in place.

So US all of a sudden showed an interest in developing close relationships with India. Hmmm, I wonder why. 😄It reminds me of Ukraine who is fighting a proxy war against the Russians and having its country descend into chaos and ruins. I would expect the Indian government to be wiser than that of Ukraine’s. If someone who’s always ignored you and bad mouthed you, but all of a sudden wants to befriend you, you better be wary of his motives.

What about ASEAN?

Pls inform him it's live session!

Who appointed this host... He doesn't know how to behave with a person of such high stature... At times he tried to make him feel embarrassed but General Flynn is way out of his league and he tackled everything calmly. While conducting such events hosts should prioritise on how much could be capitalised on issues of mutual interest rather than projecting how good your journalism is. At last the Indian-US relation is one of the defining factor in geopolitical stability of the world for this entire century. Love from India ❤️❤️ Long live India... Long Live USA.

Norway has medagaskar policy to do the cargo, german counterpart also quite coperative

So did the general from the Pentagon show up in full military uniform.

The gentleman presiding over the conference has taken too much time

1:00:01 us defence industry in India

Conversation need to be more difficult and uncomfortable to each other after Ukraine afganistan debacle... it's not just a war anymore

The statement from the American lady in the audience was interesting - do Indian people know how much information the US has given India🤣🤣🤣 Wonder what India had to give in return for that information🤣🤣🤣

What about the people of Taiwan, my friends? Will India fly to their assistance like an older sister??

30:30 That lady kim is talking like Indian army are not smart, please visit Rastriya Rifle any day bad boys of Indian army.😁😁

There is some thing wrong with US policymakers, strategic thinkers and defence strategists. Pakistan, Afganistan, North Korea, China are all products of these great people.

Moderator could have been Little more professional

Love General Flynn giving the Indian Army HAW capabilities a shout-out!

At the last minute sushant shareen nailed it

The moderator behaves and sounds like a ringmaster in a circus instead of one who's a senior member of a "respectable" think tank in Delhi. The needless display of familiarity of being on first name terms with the US General and the derisive comment on "mutuality like fight till the last Ukrainian ?" hardly a good start to a healthy and meaningful conversation on the roles of armies in the in matters of regional security. Given India's refusal to condemn Russia's war on Ukraine in clear terms on account of "historical reasons and economic interests", it's likely that India would be replaced by the UK in the QUAD, going forward, as has been written about in the western press last week.

A Request - At the beginning , Can't Indian moderators introduce a dignitary like normal way, why this buttering . like he has so much qualifications, has done business degree. This thing is applicable in Indian context only. Where VIP is introduced for 1/2 hour with "Gungaan " of his qualifications. His post speaks of itself. Introducing , looking at him , Smiling. What nautanki is this.? 😆.

The Indian skill is being able to tell every party they are important and critical and then having the fun and luxury of playing every one out. Anyone who has done business in India will know this trait. I believe this snake oil salesman from the US will gain no ground.

Skilled Capacity

Highly Complex Technology

By the way, why does he have to show up in military uniform! That in itself is a a gun and a cannon pointed at the Pacific. Military uniforms and discussions like this are a gun pointed into the east!

The general- a good military man,disciplined one at that.But the questioners were more like intellecutals asking questions which should have been put to a diplomat turned NSA or the future planners of security in the USA.Secondly asking uncomfortable questions on their army's failures is not welcome by any military general.He has his limitations in putting forward his views being in a democratic country and his limitations in answering questions were exposed.But I would be more pro-the general than the questioners as he was expecting questions on operations of the military in his area of jurisdiction(indo-pacific)-the threats,their solutiions or the counter strategies in some expected events/unexpected events taking place and none of the questioners were up to the mark in that.

I have faced lot of Challenge s

👍

🇮🇳❤️🇺🇸

India would like to work with countries which have mutual respect for each other. If one dominates the other then its not good. Of course sometimes there is need for "Big Brother, small brother" relationship, but that is only until the small brother is small and needs the big brother to protect. India is not a small brother, and does not need the protection of Russia or USA, yes we would like to maintain best relationships with Russia, USA, Japan and other countries which want to work with india for mutual benefit and progress. Also the problem with USA is that at one moment, they want to be allies with India, but then they ask us to choose friends, which is unfair, do we tell Americans who they should deal with? NO. Also USA wants to be allies, but also interfering in our internal matters. India has a lot to talk about America's internal matters, but since its USA internal matters, we do not intefere, so the USA should take a leaf out of this book and accept it and work with it. USA will not be a super power long with the inflation coming soon, so its right time for USA to have good friends who can help them to tide them over the expected inflation and problems.

Any comment on the following equation: US + Qatar ( Al jazerra + Al-Qaida) = causing unrest in India ?

What is US doing in South China Sea ? Why not confine to Monroe doctrine instead eyeing Taiwan as a US aircraft carrier as Mc Arthur had predicated . It's mind boggling to imagine what could be in our interest fending for US protection of power against Chinse ! Indian Military Veterans .

देश का दुर्भाग्य है इंसान अंग्रेजी बोल कर खुद को पढ़ा लिखा समझता है। और हिंदी बोल कर खुद को शर्मिंदा।

Itimidating by wearing uniform at civilian meeting ....thats what British did for 200 years india.. India has true friend and its Russia .

It is the economy, equitable sharing of wealth of a nation, and same for the world, to achieve peace. Take care of the grievance of the disadvantaged in the society, eradicate racism to promote harmony and loyalty. China is investing there as they understand their weaknesses. The participants in these forum seemed oblivious to their own problem there.

He really looks like old school war veteran from d day

True ... Airforce and Navy can rule Air and Waters but Land is where humans live ( not only now but many centuries after also )

While India worrying about China possibly invading Taiwan, itself encroaching neighboring Nepal lands is just lol

During question and answer session one of the Lady fellow suggested that Indian Army should focus on land forces. I disagree with her suggestion because China is actively pursuing her interests to set up Naval bases wherever they can bribe the local politicians. China has already started mapping the ocean floor in Indian and Pacific oceans in order to deploy Navy drones to gather intelligence. In the recent past I wrote my comments about Chinese drones presence near the Chennai Navy port and it was confirmed by news channel from India. At the present time China has their Navy bases where they have submarines moving on rotational basis to monitor Navy activities of QUAD alliance.

Gen Flynn has that Mike Tyson neck.

India holds the key to the outcome of US-China tension. Indian EA Minister said to the West: Your enemies are not my enemies. We have made improvements in our border disputes with China but still not fully resolved. Kissinger, the master of divide and rule, said: We opened up China to keep it away from USSR. It's a mistake to drive China and Russia together. Study their differences to keep them apart. Lesson: Does India gain more by being a friend to all?

appreciate Gen Flynn's contribution but I would hope he can help to shape US to be more reliable and dependable partner short and long term same way Russia has proven for last 70 years - talk is talk but walk is walk

Great answers by Gen Flynn......pls visit fellow democracies more often

Domain Is Different Subject

3:50 why he laughed saying largest democracy. sarcasm :)

💯O'WE DID THIS FOR YOU.. WE DID THAT FOR YOU.. YOU FORGET.. I AM HERE TO REMIND YOU & TELL OTHERS THAT WE ARE ON TOP🎯. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Great job by the General. The moderator can learn to be a bit more diplomatic.

Shinzo Abe was behind success India to join squad.

All those years being subservient to Queen Victoria has paid off.

Why did America not sanction China when they occupied our territory in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh? Why will India go and defend Taiwan when Taiwan claims Arunachal Pradesh is part of China?

Proclamation of India being in the centre of Indo-Pacific security is equal to the proclamation of India being in the centre of INDO-ATLANTIC security.

Specific navy tunnel

Need more heat in debating with US.

Indian Defence Is Very Strong

UKRAINE: just give logistical support to your enemies enemy Do a lot of PR for them on mainstream media and social media Let them die fighting to protect your interests but don't send your own soldiers on the ground P.S: Also do lots of fundraisers for them but you don't have to hand over all the money to them🤣🤣🤣

moderator was ****

I wouldn't expect Bureaucratism is so servere in US after hearing this commander's talks.

the first question was killer "will our intrest converge or will fight till the last Ukrainian. 🤣🤣🤣

My Biography Has been Released

General Flynn is way too busy woking "other" things into the US ARMY. Priorities have shifted away from the physical battlefield and are now concentrated on the mental battlefield, re: hurt feelings, validation, etc.
