@Folkindia I thought you would like to read about this offer we made to India. 1 out of 195
I don't think Indian forces will permit this type of agreement.Also such decision will blow the morale of Indian Army to smithereens.
But if this decision comes into action,geopolitics of IOR will totally traverse in opposite direction.
It will be a foreign policy nightmare. Not gonna happen..

So........... you did not read the article.
I don't see it happening, this won't go down well with the opposition or within the BJP's own ranks and India gains little from this, only the US really would benefit.
Question: How many of you actually read the article? If not, after reading the article please answer the following
1. Is this a military alliance or just a logistical alliance?
2. Will India get access to U.S bases for logistical purposes only or do you think Indian troops will be based within U.S bases, like U.S is based within NATO.
3. Will U.S be allowed to base itself similar to what we do with NATO or simply have access to logistical needs of fueling, berth etc within Indian bases.
4. Is India a part of a multi-national force in dealing with piracy? How is this different?
If you have answered all these questions correctly, you will see that everyone of you have originally blown the “logistics support agreement” into some sort of NATO like alliance.
Hence my "if"It wont.
BJP cannot run the risk of taking such a call with an outgoing US Pres & also run the risk of being torn apart internally at home.
It must get some concrete benefits first.
I have read the article . we can't trust US ....
Our apprehensions are valid .
I think modi govt is just showing carrot ...
I do not think that this will materialize
Given nationalistic credentials of BJP ...it is unlikely that they will do something which MMS did not dare to do despite his obvious proclivity towards US.
Let us watch how this actually unfolds ...
If ..if this happens it will be off course construed as military alliance with US ..and that's why india should avoid it .

We hoes got time for that but on a serious note the agreement is equal but we will gain very little from such a plan & also your history proves that such bases are a threat to host country
M
We're very touchy about any kind of association.
So you read it but did not understand it.
Logistical clearly but which side is pushing for this? Which side will it benefit more? The retd ACM himself pointed out this deal would be of little utility to the IAF, perhaps a little more to the IN but alas that is still of little utility.1. Is this a military alliance or just a logistical alliance?
India does not engage in the same kind of expeditionary military operations as the US and where it does it has had little issue sourcing the requisite supplies and logistics.2. Will India get access to U.S bases for logistical purposes only or do you think Indian troops will be based within U.S bases, like U.S is based within NATO.
Either way why should India allow its soil to to be used for the foreign expeditionary military missions of another nation?3. Will U.S be allowed to base itself similar to what we do with NATO or simply have access to logistical needs of fueling, berth etc within Indian bases.
And? This is a one off example, India has berthing rights of its own in Oman and their own fleet of FRS so it can go it alone if necessary.4. Is India a part of a multi-national force in dealing with piracy? How is this different?
No you are not, you have it with Oman and few counties I believe.
Oman and few other countries are not US !
