The Annual Threat Assessment of the US Intelligence Community report바카라 웹사이트was submitted to the US Congress by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence during a Congressional hearing. The evaluation forms part of the바카라 웹사이트annual threat assessment바카라 웹사이트of the US intelligence community.
It noted that바카라 웹사이트Pakistan has had a long history of supporting anti-India militant groups. "Each side라이브 바카라 perception of heightened tensions raises the risk of conflict, with바카라 웹사이트violent unrest in Kashmir or a militant attack in India being potential flashpoints," the report further said.
Relations between India and Pakistan have been strained over the Kashmir issue and cross-border terrorism emanating from Pakistan.바카라 웹사이트India has maintained that terrorism and talks cannot go together and Islamabad should provide a conducive atmosphere for the resumption of dialogue.바카라 웹사이트Meanwhile, Pakistan and the US have held a round of counterterrorism dialogue.
Meanwhile, the report also noted that바카라 웹사이트relations between India and China바카라 웹사이트will remain strained in the wake of the바카라 웹사이트countries’ "lethal clash in 2020", the most serious in decades. The clash saw바카라 웹사이트troops from both the countries바카라 웹사이트engaging바카라 웹사이트in 바카라 웹사이트skirmishes at locations along the Sino-Indian border, including near the disputed Pangong Lake in Ladakh. "The expanded military postures by both India and China along the disputed border elevate the risk of armed confrontation between two nuclear powers that might involve direct threats to U.S. persons and interests, and calls for U.S. intervention," the report said.
India has been maintaining that its ties with China cannot be normal unless there is peace in the border areas. "Previous standoffs have demonstrated that persistent low-level friction on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) has the potential to escalate swiftly," the report바카라 웹사이트added.
The report observed that바카라 웹사이트China라이브 바카라 Communist Party (CCP) will continue efforts to achieve President Xi Jinping라이브 바카라 vision of making China the "preeminent power in East Asia and a major power on the world stage". "Beijing will try to expand its influence abroad and its efforts to be viewed as a champion of global development via several initiatives––including the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)바카라 웹사이트and Xi라이브 바카라 new flagship policies—the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative," it said.
It further acknowledged that바카라 웹사이트Russia라이브 바카라바카라 웹사이트unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine is a tectonic event that is reshaping바카라 웹사이트Russia라이브 바카라 relationships바카라 웹사이트with the West and China, in ways that are "highly uncertain". A great risk is posed바카라 웹사이트by escalation of the conflict to a military confrontation between Russia and the West, the report said. "Russia will continue to pursue its interests in competitive and sometimes confrontational and provocative ways, including by using military force as it has against Ukraine and pressing to dominate other countries in the post–Soviet space to varying extents," it added.
