India erodes US expectations

[rockstarIN]

Pak leaders are short sighted, they hardly have for a long term vision. Foreign policy should not based on emotions but self interests and benefits.

Good for India. This is how a giant country behaves. India will take over US in a few decades. I have talked with many Indian people in US, they tend to think India should always obey and side with US. Well, I think it's totally unnecessary~

Thirdly India’s decision of not complying with individual countries’ sanctions in this case indicates that she intends to pursue an Asia friendly policy with respect to Asia’s major powers. In this regard she wants to be seen as having perceptive alignment with the Russian and Chinese thinking on the subject. This implies that India desires to pursue an independent foreign policy to preserve its core national interests in Asia and it does not want to generate policies which are tangent to the policies of major powers of Asia on major disputes located in the this continent. This also reflects that in future India will not toe US line blindly and will not create rift with any major Asian power just to please the US.

I think this should make it clear for those Pakistanis and Reds who think otherwise.

I don't think we should have the right to say that considering we have this:

What is wrong with Sonia Gandhi. Indian born also are engaged in politics in other countries. What did she do wrong?

You have a long way to go, my friend.

India and the US share a similar long-term world view.

India is quite popular among the US public and the US is quite popular among the Indian public.

The relationship can only go upwards from here.

A few irritants in the relationship can only dampen the sprit for some time, they cannot permanently destroy the new found enthusiasm.

IMHO, India has done what any sovereign state would do and that is decide in favour of its own national interests, and by the way i'd never digest the question why the west always interfere in the personal matters of the countries so far away from their countries? did we asians ever did that? they are so prejudiced that they would not tolerate USSR relations with latin american and eastern european countries but on the contrary they think this globe belongs to them and they sort of own it.

if its true then where should non-westerners go? to mars? well they can't even go there coz then the west would claim that this solar system belongs to them too, i think the west should be kicked out of the east practically and stopped from interfering in eastern matters, coz west may have good clothing, good technologies, good research but they have worst ethics... sory if anyone from the readers may find my words offensive, but this is the FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, and when the west doesn't spare the saints and vouch for the so called FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION then they are no better then saints, they should therefore have no objection to what i said.

in short, i'd say... WELL DONE INDIA...

she reads hindi in roman font when she should have mastered hindi by now...i can show you people who are not indians but love india and they speak in fluent hindi..

and this was just the obvious part of things that are wrong with her...

I agree with your post. More importantly you have highlighted the two crucial aspects of this situation.

The Israel factor and Saudi factor are a part of this effort to convince India to change her mind.

The focus on America is misplaced. Certainly, America is leading the charge against Iran, but it is only a proxy fight, since Iran is not a threat to America or to Europe. This fight is purely on Israel's behalf, with Saudi encouragement, therefore India's actions are of concern more to Israel and the GCC Arabs. To that end, I am sure there is some heavy Indian diplomacy happening behind the scenes towards these countries.

There is no unwinding of the Indo-US strategic relationship. As long as China remains hostile to India and the US, this relationship will remain in place.

The hostility with China is bidirectional and the US is confident that India will work with the US against China, since there is an alignment of self-interests.

You're right technically but language is not the real problem. The problem is her iron grip on the country's corrupt politics that is leaving law useless. We're literally under a tyranny under the garb of democracy. Terrorists come in to "write" their "final exams" on our people, billions going daily in scams (99% of Congress/alliance ministers), illegal migrants creating problems, aviation industry down the dumps due to pathetic rules, impossible taxation to stifle growth and recently the hike in railway budget. While it won't pinch you or me but the aam aadmi will definitely not like it. Not to mention the insane fuel costs.

I think these problems are more important at first. She and her pups have to go.. either by self or be thrown out.

But still people of India like her and vote for her. Unlike some leaders who get elected to Rajya Sabha year after year and become ministers. Even if she was illeterate, you cant blame her for being elected.
How many south Indian leaders know hindi?

The price hike in commodities is a global phenomena, and high oil price does not help either. Blaming Sonia Gandhi can give as much comfort as a brit blaming David Cameroon.
The rail fare was hiked by a railway minister who dared to be bold, it is easier to be populist and leave the problem to be dealt by next govt.
He is not congressi, but somebody who understands the needs of a safe railway system.

Enough digression, our foreign policy always has opposition party support, it is rare of govt to do something without consultation of major opposition parties.

This is the last decade where whites will be telling others what to do

Things will be different from the next decade onwards

thousand words i see in words??
i think you mean to say in pictures..

well India's policy on Iran is definitely opposite to what many pakistanis have expected...

Not really I expect a two faced policy for as long as possible but when push comes to shove India has and will choose America.

 

[somebozo]

Chahbar port will always be logistically challenging and will not be cost competitive against the Gawadar port for bearing much shorter routes between central asia and warm waters. For this reason India will stoop to any level for disrupting trade in Baluchistan even if it means terrorism because in a fair environment it simply cannot compete. It is for us to dump the rott_n regime of Iran and take care of our interests only by making strong alliances with Russia and China. Perhaps TAPI is a better alternate to IP.

 

[lem34]

the para i quoted clearly shows another frustration of pakistan which is USA's new found trust with India...the writer goes on to suggest USA Policy makers to review their India centric policies...mission accomplished indeed..thanks to indian policy makers

You gotta be kidding me American's don't trust their own mothers. The Americans were even in 1930 planning an attack on the Brits their special ally lol. So you are welcome to the illusion that they trust you lot lol

How America planned to destroy BRITAIN in 1930 with bombing raids and chemical weapons | Mail Online

All Indian policy makers have achieved is to look timid subservient and indecisive.
