Ep: 335 | Nepali Army in Modern Warfare: History & Geopolitical Tensions | Chiran Jung Thapa

In this in-depth podcast episode, we dive into Nepal’s crucial role in global conflicts and examine the intricacies of Nepal’s national security and geopolitical tensions. From the strategic challenges of being caught between India and China to Nepal’s international warfare involvement, we break down what Nepal’s defense strategy means in today’s world.

Join us as we explore the Nepali Army’s history in safeguarding national interests, the rise of technology in warfare, and how military intelligence shapes the internal security of Nepal. Our guest defense expert sheds light on Nepal’s influence over nuclear states and its diplomatic ties with major powers, discussing how Nepal navigates the complex relations with India and China while contributing to global security.

We also analyze major conflicts like the Israel-Palestine and Russia-Ukraine wars, and what these mean for Nepal and the United Nations’ peacekeeping role. We ask the hard questions: How does Nepal’s geopolitical stance impact its relationship with nuclear states? Is Nepal at risk of becoming collateral damage in global power struggles? We dive into US-Iran-Iraq relations, China-Taiwan tensions, and Nepal’s direct contributions to global defense.

Whether you’re interested in Nepal’s defense budget, national security issues, or its place in global power shifts, this episode has insights you won’t want to miss.

Just a simple request to our prime minister, just try to fixed the road issue, so that your citizens can home to celebrate our grand tihar… those who lost their homes and family, condolences to the who lost their beloved ones.🙏🏻

As a small nation between two global powers, heavy defense spending is futile. Instead, we should focus on diplomacy, economic growth, and regional cooperation to ensure security, investing in areas like education and infrastructure for long-term stability.

[SubodhChhetri]

जती फुइलगानी प्रितनापी बिर्तमा रहेका राष्ट्रप्रमुख आफनू राजा को रक्षा गर्न नेसकने सेना पनी नेपाली सेनानै हो

[jhonnie]

How proudly he said, Nepalese are in Russian army . I’m surprised that people who holds such a reputed position in the country is so proud of that when non of the normal Nepalese are proud of that. This is the reality of Nepal .

[roshangurung]

I am been watching this whole show but i can’t find the solutions to make our country better than before..! Vayo sir please dont praise delhi..

[pomobijay]

Huge respect to this guy, excellent English plus he’s got infinite knowledge about security, conflicts etc. unfortunately this podcast subject was diverted to the level that was not even needed. He made me feel that Nepal is number one in all aspects Land, Air & water, way bigger than US, China etc;

But lets go basic;
Nepal army in mordern warfare? Not now atleast another 15-20 years with this political situation and low budget.

Geopolitical tension: Pls go basic, India is taking our land everyday, what our ARMY can do to prevent and get them back?

Army is the pillar and first defence. What about the latest ghotala/corruption from Nepal army when deploying Africa as UN peace keeper.

I can talk about corruption by our army whole day, why not we talk about these and try to solve the situation?

[rabindangol]

Get more things from this podcast really huge appreciation. 👏 Thanks

[sjk]

Nepal needs a new capable secret intelligence agency, muji sabai RAW CIA ko haat ma xa Nepal ko all info due to our corrupt and incompetent leaders and bureaucrats 🤬🤬

[kay]

As a tiny nation in this region we need to focus on our immigration and border controls, very intelligent diplomacy and IT and infrastructure development. This whole session was very intelligent and indepth, i am baffled to see that this video is not viral.
