If 'negotiate' meant asking permission. Then NO.
. You ever wondered why we are the bad boy, the biggest threat to US? It is because we are truly independent and sovereign, US can't control us.
US can pressure us, but did we attack India? Since day one we were fighitng for equality, the soviets treated us like vessels and tried to dictate us, we left the alliance. The Viets and India continued to lick theirs, and now you are licking Amrikaan ones. Hell we were starving back then, no shape to even attack AP, let alone India. A poodle is a dog and he needs permission to play, just like India seeking permission to buy oil and weapons.
. You see China doing that?
It's freaking obvious India is a poodle with a thin veil of sovereignty. They act as if they are fighting for their own interests, but the fact is their decisions are made based on American concerns. That's why they are not a real power, a real power is like Russia and China. Hell even starving NK has more balls than them.
