If India goes to war against the Paks, or blockades their ports, this lifeline will be broken. So just how do we run the war without this lifeline?

Get new lifelines.

Romania-Georgia-Kazakstan-Turkmenistan. Black Sea and Caspian Sea obstacles. Turkmen could be a problem.

Germany-Poland-Russia-Uzbekistan by rail is already in place, again, with Termez replacing the old Karshi-Khanabad. Subject to extortion from Russia.

Free Baluchistan. Marines to Gwadar. Indian Border Roads Organization builds us an MSR to Kandahar.

While we’re freeing Baluchistan, free Iranian Baluchistan, too. BRO recently built a road across Nimruz connecting the Ring Road to an Iranian port on the Indian Ocean.
