And why should they...considering how the U.S. treats its allies?
When we swing so wlidly every four to eight years?
We need Obama out, and his taste in the mouths of Americans needs to lead us to a 12-16 or more year stability and true fight for liberty before anyone is going to risk it like India.
I hope we do...because in the long term I believe India is a much better fit for us than the likes of Pakistan...we just need to figure out a way to take care of those nukes.
Let me see.....we have a lying, backstabbing muzzie for a president....not sure why the Indians don’t trust us...
then Obama came along
.
The first thing he did was insult the Indians -- calling up every other world leader before calling the Indian PM
He then went to India and got the wookie to do her war dance there, but the Indians - while first enamored - got a bit ticked off when they realised he just talked bull**** and were surprised that a world leader reads from a teleprompter
Congratulations, Obama -- you really did bring change...
India is forced to tread lightly, being stuck between Russia and China.
Plus, after the way we sold Israel down the river, we cannot be viewed as the most reliable ally on Planet Earth.
They could be treated like Poland.
I still wonder however.. first I remember the Cold War "non aligned nations" headed by India that seemed to me to always back the U.S.S.R. I recall that India would not let us establish "listening posts" on India soil to monitor the Soviets and Pakistan did let us put those posts in their country. But that was then and this is now.
Then there are the conditions that the U.S. must meet to gain India's support.. as described by this news article from a few years ago.
U.S. Tech Holds Key to Indian Bases The Rediff Special/Josy Joseph in New Delhi
The author asks, "If the Americans were to enjoy access to Indian military bases, what will India expect in return?"
The article is based upon "Indo-US Military Relations: Expectations and Perceptions," a classified US defense department document in rediff.com's possession.
The U.S. defense department document "states that India would consider technology transfer as an 'important component' for a robust military relationship between the two countries."
This is about mutual defense and "friendship." The various countries where we [the U.S.] have "enjoyed" access to military bases have not demanded technology transfers for us shouldering most of the cost of their defense.
Key Indians interviewed in the report said, "America's reluctance to engage in focused technology transfer is a deal killer in the effort to construct an enduring strategic relationship." Indians placed technology transfer as the 'touchstone' of the new found strategic relationship and 'everything revolves around a strong US commitment to share its technologies so that India can advance'.
Judging by how loudly Washington keeps proclaiming they want Dehli to join them strategically coupled with Dehli’s proclamations of autonamy—the Strategic patnership between the US and India seems to be in deep full swing.
Such a simple tactic of diversion....
You know, the older I get the more it seems clear, politicians, all politicians, really do believe we’re all idiots. I wonder when they will learn that ‘çleverness’ usually gets ahead of ones goals.
