Rhetorical question, right? If these weapons are ever used, they'll be used against India, as US-supplied weapons have been in every India-Pakistan conflict. With all the talk about out-sourcing, weapons proliferation, and the popularity of the US in India, it's important to note that most of the arms used against India in it's history have been supplied by the US. Indians have a right to be suspicious about US arms deals with Pakistan, as the US would be if India had a history of supplying arms to people shooting at American soldiers.

Well then it must be true. It's hard to keep on who is our current best bud, though. Is it Pakistan or UAE?
