Looks like talks went to the dogs, now Indian govt is using media to send the message instead of them telling them to their face. Problem with India is that like retards we showed overenthusiasm jumped at the first moment and started crawling on the ground. US obviously took this as a sign that monkeys will give whatever we ask for and they pushed for every thing while giving nothing in return.
Modi did the same thing with Xi as well , he invited him to chennai, made a big song and dance about co-operation ...etc but the end result was same. It dint stop chinese from trying to create disturbances on the border.
If you want to become a strong power, we need to negotiate from position of strength, not displaying subservience. Marwadi tactics of jaw-jaw diplomacy is for fools, real powers have leverage and use it strongly. As Roosevelt said "speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far".
India simply doesnt have the enuf strength to negotiate fairly, our only advantage is doling out military contracts to foreign countries at the risk of of destroying our own industries. End result is quite obvious, we neither will protect our interest nor our money put to good use.
