a leading US daily on Sunday said, while warning some American officials and lawmakers against creating the appearance of having pressurised New Delhi for its stance

I sure hope those leading officials take head to the powerful word of the media, wouldn't want those leading officials to forget their place at running our country,,,, /sarc

India is ONLY siding with the US on this single issue because they believe it will help them counter Pakistan's threat by access to our nuke technology.

I don't trust India any farther than I can throw them. More than 90 percent of their military is soviet trained and equipped, and the country is awash with communists. They still sell women and worship cattle, and they will burn a women to death if a dowery payment is late.

The idea of India having nukes is just as worrysome as Pakistan having them.

They haven't been a reliable ally of the west in any undertaking since the second world war.

I'm more than a little worried about the US kissing up to India these days. Its all give and no get.

US wasnt expecting India to vote against Iran.

US had promised India nuke technology only to dangle a carrot and knew very well that it wouldnt have to deliver on its promise since the delivery of the technology hinged on the conditionality that India support US bid to isolate Iran. US knew very well India's stand on Iran (or did it ?). Since the US State dept wont ratify the nuclear deal anyway, the US Administration could have safely placed the blame on India for having supported Iran as being the cause for the US State dept not approving the nuclear deal.

......but then came India's famous volte-face! Now it seems the US has no answer.

Lets see if the US is able to keep its promise.

PING!

I expect Chinese agents are behind bribing journalists and congressmen to oppose India-US relationship.

Nobody within the elected U.S. leadership should delude themselves into believing that India will be a lapdog of America's whims.

India has aspirations of its own, and has demonstrated the ability to achieve them.
