{{Cquote|This is going to be a big problem for the United States. I think India US relationships is going to be an issue here. The US is trying to use India more and more as a trading partner. Trying to use India to do repairs for US naval forces out in the region. The loss of access into the Persian Gulf means that repair facilities are limited for the US in that region. India is really the fallback. If not, you're heading to Singapore and the US is finding it very difficult to maintain naval forces out in the Persian Gulf. They are having to commit a large portion of its chartered tanker fleet and auxiliary vessels to keep two carrier battle groups, an amphibious strike group and another amphibious strike group put into a position where they can operate in this region. It is difficult and it is causing a strain and I don't care what the Navy says. I know what's happening here. It is very difficult to conduct this operation over a protracted period of time. There is a finite number to this and they're going to have to readjust and figure out how to continue this operation and India is really key for that. India is a great staging base. You can get supplies, you can do repairs. And obviously these strikes against these vessels that are violating the US blockade and have Indian crew members on board is important one to figure out.

We off on the wrong foot after the loss of Persian Gulf bases. We could lose the whole [[Indian Ocean]]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|WWJD: Would he claim 2 gay bathhouses in Russia compared to 300 in America justifies nuclear war?]]</sup> 20:34, June 14, 2026 (EDT)

We've actually previously discussed this. Vertical launch [[Tomahawk cruise missile]]s from US ships cannot be reloaded at sea. It will take a long time for the Indian government to convince the Indian people that allowing US bases in Indian, after the US having demonstrated no respect or regard for the life of Indian people, is a good or advantageous idea.
