India will change their minds when Pakistan inevitably attacks again.

It would appear the story is BS put out by the Trump hating a-holes at Reuters.

Put additional F1/CPT/OPT/H1B/H4 workers ‘on hold.’
‘Hold’ their remittances.

Russian or Chinese military hasn’t proven to be all that good, away from their home territory.
USA has a very proven record and our military arms prove that we can reach world wide.
Russia has lost a generation of it’s young men.
China now faces America, Japan, and a very resolute Powerhouse, South Korea.
Who Y’all going to bet on?

Small price to pay.

IMHO: the US envoy is in Russia right now in the hopes of making progress on a peace deal / or at least begin moving in that direction.

Trump is playing the: sugar and whip game.

He is attempting to create leverage wherever he can may it be pushing on the sanctions even harder, announcing US nuclear armed (Boomer) subs off the shore of Russia, threatening to arm Ukraine even more if a peace isn’t worked out / Russia doesn’t cooperate.

India is part of the whip.

Sadly, we try to sell arms there, and we have been trying to court India for many years (they are part of a greater US India / China strategy). Pushing on India like this threatens to unravel the advances made in the past.

We have been fighting diaper-heads that basically play “hide and go seek” and try to shoot you in the back.

You should read some of the reports by US vets the volunteered to go fight in Ukraine, or look at the body-count of vets that are volunteering to fight in the Ukrainian foreign legion.

Good! Now kick the H-1B Visa holders out of our country. Do it very unceremoniously with a swift kick to their @55.

Makes sense.

And it is Occam’s Razor.

They’d only make them smell like curried goat crap and then crash them into slums.

India ( as is the world) is starting to wise up. Sanctions, stealing sovereign funds, weaponizing the dollar, ordering nations to use the dollar, “ do as we say” is no longer working.

Thanks to Trump’s tariff aggression:

1. India and a far worse communist China are becoming friends.

2. American consumers are getting taxed on their foreign purchases to support Ukraine in a war that we should be stating out of.

If the recent war was any indication they did very well with natively developed weapons, especially their equivalent of the iron dome, "Akashter" or whatever it's called. Also the 'Brahmos' missile that have customers lining up to buy.

Ending this war would be a lot easier if Russia was getting the worst of it on the battlefield. We could ensure that quickly by sending our well-equipped troops.
