There are several analysts from D.C. who are trying to present some kind of justification for the behaviour that has been seen across the media landscape over the past few weeks. However, certain things that have been done during these negotiations have been detrimental towards the partnership. Deal making is a two way street. A certain section of the pundits are not helping the cause both in India and in the States. You can easily find their views being presented across social media. Diplomats as usual are working to smooth things out. Something that should have been dry and almost entirely handled away from light has turned into a TV soap opera.
India - United States Relations
- Thread starter Butter Chicken
- Start date
As of now the Americans are there to counter Chinese influence for when push comes to shove the Chinese plan to use the multi billion dollar port they've constructed in Kyaukpyu to bypass the Malacca , Lombok & Sunda Straits.
Additionally they're pumping a lot of gas out of the Myanmarese coast transporting it to Yunnan from Kyaukpyu.
The US is there to minimise Chinese influence in Myanmar , establish a base there & open up a front if necessary when the balloon goes up in Taiwan.
I suspect they'd have approached India to undertake this task which we may have obviously declined following which they approached SHW who similarly declined except they were in a better position to get rid of her than dictate terms to Modi .
The Tatmadaw too won't hinder US operations as they're tired of being gamed by the CCP who're playing both sides in this conflict.
Our problems won't begin now but after the Chinese have been dealt with if the US presence lingers there of which you can be sure.
Personally I don't think India'd dare target US personnel on foreign soil if they haven't opened up a front against us . This could be attributed to natural causes or a very slim chance China's MSS is behind it though I highly doubt it .
The majority of the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump imposed during his second term face one final litmus test that will determine whether he can continue to levy them – and also whether businesses are eligible for massive refunds. That potentially dramatic turn in the tariff saga comes after a federal appeals court ruled on Friday that Trump unlawfully leaned on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose across-the-board duties on countries.
'We're going to lose this game': Finland President warns US on alienating India, Global South - BusinessToday
Stubb's warning echoes concerns from American experts that Trump's policies have alienated New Delhi.
Finland's President Alexander Stubb has warned that the West risks losing the global contest for influence if it fails to engage India and other countries of the Global South with "a more cooperative, more dignified foreign policy."
"This is directly linked to the ongoing competition for a new world order. We've seen that the post-Cold War era is over. I actually think that the tipping point was the beginning of Russia's war of aggression, full-scale on the 24th of February 2022. And this has led to a jostling of power at the same time a weakening of multilateral institutions, rules and norms," Stubb said when asked about the SCO summit in Tianjin, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.
US supreme court is virtually loaded in his favor, shouldnt expect any issues in tariffs staying put.
Worst thing had happened if true, this will give US more oprtunity to become more cosy with pak.
Liberal media outlet on Youtube shares its love for India. You can guess it. There is no love lost for India amongst the socialists. TYT is relatively well known.

I have not seen bigger oxymoron group than the current "leftist-liberal-socislist" cabal in modern times.
They want democracy but dislike corporates. They want govt to control everything and distribute everything, giving them unprecedented power.
Then they are also against govts control over their freedom which will obviously be curtailed when govt has so much power over hold of resources.
They want people voice to be heard but like dynastic parties. They chide countries in asia for family based politics but see family controlled party as best to keep them usefull.
There are so many other contradictions.. anyone with a vested interest can claim itself to be liberal and hinder progress.
Instead of regulating corporates, they call of govt running the corporates.
US was never not cosy with pak. Otherwise ISI network would've been dismantled long ago.
US still funds Pakistan through various obscure channels as always. But the fact remains that wether it's china or the USA, they invest in projects meant to exploit pakistani resources for themselves.. just like Britishers did.
Just like Britishers " brought development" by "giving" railways to India.. USA will build the line to extract REEs etc and shop it to their country. Just like brits.
Just like what china is doing in Myanmar. What us-china backed Rwanda is doing in congo and other African Nations. But you will notice a commonality among every such project meant for extraction.. Conflict..never ending conflict.
PA will hope for some scraps to maintain its hold over pak and get some funds to operate it's network. But it will backfire as it has with their earlier decisions of selling sovereignity for funds.. more conflict in the region which will make the region more destabilizing.
It's not like MSS/China is gonna let US extract resources so easily in their own backyard. US is already battling it out with China in Myanmar over resources. As if China will let US have peacefull network in Pakistan. Then there's Taliban governed Afghanistan which is basically warlords who will have their own eyes on sweet resources.. terror, smuggling.. everything will happen even more.
For India, key will be robust industrial policy to be there and transparency in mining rights and so on, using technology to stop illegal operations like smuggling. Which is doable with the capacity we are building. Private corporates won't like too much instability either.
Rest of the things will be as they are going towards.. Intelligence agencies will have to up their game, political will to highlight 0.5 front and nip them. Pak won't have any advantage in overt operations anymore. Neither will india have the the space to get relax in covert domain even without presençe of us there
He is just their appointed asset cum commander for India operations, mid management level .. the foot soldiers are even more arrogant.
I am your guy, bhai. Trust me.
Yea and it will work better for us because we have 24/7 call centres for tech support when the pilot is flying it.
I think the U.S. fanboys on X might go gaga over these reports. "Strategic Partner, friend, ally, and technical exchange". Now, peace in Ukraine = Tariff necessary.

If there is anyone under the illusion that the relationship comes free of constraints, please do open your eyes.
Exclusive: Tariffs on India vital for Ukraine peace, Team Trump tells US top court
The Trump administration took the fight over tariffs to the Supreme Court, asking the justices to rule quickly that the president has the power to impose sweeping import taxes.

It seems U.S, Ukrainian, and some E.U ministers might meet soon. Ukrainian FM put out a tweet stating he will meet Minister Jaishankar as well.
why are we even tolerating monkeys like zelenksy ? He is a big snake, not only sends his countrymen to death but has the gal to bitch on other countries. India should put these smaller worthless countries in their place, just ignore them.
