The US offered to upgrade the comms & other systems a few years ago, we rejected the offer (read it a long time ago, so don't quote me on it). Unlike Stryker or delayed Apaches, this didn't gather much headlines.
A few days ago, Prez Stubb and PM Modi had a telephonic conversation, followed by a conversation between EAM Jaishankar and his Finnish counterpart. Now, Finland could be described as a nation that is anywhere from neutral to friendly with us. Yes, we do have stable bilateral relations but our interactions hardly ever make news. Given EU's push for the long overdue FTA and every important European nation gunning for stronger bilateral relationship with us, not to mention that Trump has managed to royally piss off the Europeans too, I'm not surprised at all that the Finnish Prez made this statement.
That's the multipolar world theory.
I agree on this part. These individuals are behaving like reality TV starts on international television. The 'innocent' race remark or caste remark is definitely not a slip of tongue or ignorance. There are people within our own parliament rushing to defend them as soon as they are made. Most, if not all, are aware of the comments they make. These are all things being done as part of a tactic in the trade deal. Lutnick is just another mouth piece. However, the entire world that is not 'white' is seeing what is happening. They might choose to stay silent for now but they are keenly aware of what certain political circles think about when dealing with them. MAGA politicians are begging the E.U to stop buying any RU products. What democracy/rule of law/shared values/market access? It is all done to get a good deal. If that does not happen, they'll simply make a U-turn. The Chyyyna bravado is also long gone. The TACO with the Chinese was done months ago.
You know what. I will actually wanna see this. In effect. For long companies like TCS and WIPRO have gotten over their head of being IT services giants.
Yeah right, he can't do shit. It will require an act of congress and he can stuff it.

I wouldn't take anything that admin says at face value. Good cop bad cop.. time to show them some baniyagiri and bihari-UP ऐंठ।
Yeah .... and Modi should tweet ... "Sorry Trump, I love you but I am no longer in love with you".
To abolish it , congress must pass a bill but he can make the process infinitely harder. If you check project 2025 that is one of the ways to make ppl leave or coming into the country.
He can try limiting entry of Indians into USA but outsourcing is not possible to be stopped unless congress ie American parliament passes a law to give that power to President.
