India is our enemy.

“India is our enemy.”

Fair enough.

However our biggest enemy is ourselves, or politically stated the ‘uniparty’ that got us here in the first place. Much of the global world when it comes to a trading imbalance is our own fault. The amount of political corruption over the years is unfathomable and it only took one person, President Trump to make a difference.

And this is only one topic.

Not exactly. They are an opportunist. We do have common ground with them on navigation of the seas and the threat that China poses on that topic.

I'd put India in the same category as Vietnam on this topic.

They’re in BRICS, buy Russian military equipment and planes, buy Russian oil. If Trump wanted to turn up the heat, he could pressure Euros and UK to do the same to India. Then there’s the banking system which could exclude India from dollar transactions.
A slowdown in Indian economy will also reduce demand for Russian oil.
