Ashley Tellis Wants Trump to Continue US Policy of "Strategic Altruism" With Modi's India

The US Department of Defence has used this guy's services, so he surely can't be that unimportant.

The way forward would be to accept reality, and work on ways to counter.
Proper counter is by following the divine guidance and shunning the sins.

They will want to play a part in all important developments in the wider region, and using India as a disruptive force will further their interests of holding on to world power.

It certainly does look like a losing battle, as you say.

The deep state is extremely frustrated for a multitude of reasons. Under Obama the deep state was in full control and dictating the terms. Since Trump got elected things have changed drastically for the deep state. The deep state has experienced a serious setback and lost a lot of credibility among the American people. One could argue that Trump has frustrated deep state activities with intent and purpose. Many deep state henchmen like Mattis and others have either tendered their resignation or were simply dismissed from the administration. These henchmen came in to control Trump and his policies that were undermining deep state interests. To no avail. Trump is shrewd and smart. He cannot be controlled.

Indians too are extremely frustrated with Trump. The Indians had high hopes with Trump agitating and hurting Pakistan. In the end, Trump turned out to be rather a blessing for Pakistan. From the thawing in relations with Imran Khan meeting Trump in the WH to Kashmir talk offer. Not to mention peace talks with the Taliban in Afghanistan. The Indians got totally freaked out.

The deep state and RSS Hindustan is not happy with these developments. From Afghanistan to domestic issues. It has been bleak years for the deep state. The deep state is begging for a change during the upcoming elections. The problem is that Trump is still very popular among his voters.

Interesting point.

If I understand correctly, that implies the deep state wants to work on long term alliances and consolidating power by strengthening regional allies, but at the expense of short term economic losses to rising threats like China. However, Trump believes in unitary hegemony and pragmatic application of his personal vision, i.e. he believes action needs to be taken to turn things around very quickly. To that end, he's heavily playing his Israel hand to consolidate power at home, at the expense of disrupting the Middle East.

Personally, I think the Afghanistan war has also had a part to play, and this has led to a huge reduction in the perceived value of India in the region. Also, partly because of his background, he appears to believe China can be more effectively countered economically, while strengthening the American economy in the process.

His strategy has, of course, changed heavily in the last couple of years, so the days of seeing India in the headlines may start to reduce, and even though India's economy is now starting to feel the heat after losing all its privileges in large markets like the US, as well as losing its purchase based alliances with countries like Iran due to enforcement of sanction waivers being removed, I think India's value isn't going to reduce entirely.

If Trump remains in power following the next election, I think things will likely start to further normalise, and the US will stop artificially padding up countries like India, which may lead to less of these Hindutva rearing their ugly head in US related matters.

Proper counter is by following the divine guidance and shunning the sins.

Honesty, integrity and strong principles certainly do strengthen a power base, and also lead to high levels of economic trust and effectiveness.

I fail to comprehend how an india born gangadoo manages to become a 'think tank' with that sort of deluded world view blinded by hate and the people that matter in the US turn a blind eye to his outrageous and utterly stupid thought process? Is the US THAT naive or they do it on purpose? Do they really believe in the wisdom of gangadoos? Or has the fear of China got the better of them?
For ppl like him it's easy...
1) Let go of any morality, discipline, cultural identity, and anything else that would make one an honorable man.
2) Change ur name to some western conforming standards.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm, so this is the idiot, who thought that Pakistan would disappeared from face of the earth in 2015.

Idiots like him encouraged USA to engage India and also drag it in to Afghanistan.
The result would be first ouster of USA after utter humiliation and afterwards the destruction of India.

India after boosting by the USA and with false sense of superiority was thinking that it can launch two fronts war with Pakistan and China.
Its media played countless video and computer simulations how IAF and their missiles would wipe Pakistan from the face of the earth.

Then.........................

27th Feb 2019 happened.

The rest as they say is history.

In a piece titled "The India Dividend: New Delhi Remains Washington’s Best Hope in Asia" published in Foreign Affairs journal, authors Robert Blackwill and Ashley Tellis argue that the Trump Administration should continue the US policy of "strategic altruism" with India that began with US-India nuclear agreement. They want President Trump to ignore the fact that the US companies and economy have only marginally benefited from this policy. They see India as a "superpower in waiting" and urge Washington to focus on the goal of having India as an ally to check China's rise. They see Chinese support for India's archrival Pakistan and China’s growing weight in South Asia and beyond as threat to India.

Who is Ashley Tellis:

Ashley Tellis was born and raised in Mumbai, India. Back in 1999 as a “researcher” at RAND Corp, he contributed to a report for US Department of Defense (DoD) that forecast Pakistan would “disappear” by 2015. It proved to be wishful thinking.

Here are the Key Points of Pentagon's Asia 2025 Report on South Asia region that Ashley Tellis contributed to:

1. Pakistan is "near collapse" in 2010 while India is making "broad progress".

2. Iranian "moderation" in 2010 while Afghanistan remains "anarchic hotbed".

3. Pakistan is "paralyzed" after an "Indo-Pak war 2012".

4. US launches conventional strike on "remaining Pakistan nukes" after the "Indo-Pak war 2012.

5. China "blinks at US-India Collusion".

6. Pakistan "disappears".


Source: Pentagon Asia 2025 Report

He is promoted as a South Asia "scholar" by various Washington Think Tanks he has worked for. Currently, he is with Carnegie Endowment For International Peace in Washington DC. His hostility toward Pakistan shows through in all his work.

Criticism of Trump's India Policy:

Blackwill and Tellis have praised Presidents George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama for ignoring long-standing US policy on non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and for pushing US-India nuclear deal through. At the same time, they have criticized Trump for "leaving even staunch pro-U.S. stalwarts such as Modi wondering whether India could ever count on the United States to come to its aid in the event of a major crisis with China".

The authors take President Trump to task for "focusing less on India’s potential as a partner than on its unbalanced trade with the United States". The Trump administration has recently withdrawn India’s privileged trade access to the United States under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program.

Trump's Afghan Policy:

The authors are unhappy with administration’s approach to peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan for for failing "to consider Indian interests". They complain that their expectation that "Trump might put less pressure on India regarding....its relations with Pakistan" have not materialized.

Blackwill and Tellis don't explain how Trump can end America's longest war while protecting Indian interests in Afghanistan.

Strategic Alturism:

Blackwill and Tellis want Trump administration to continue "generous U.S. policies" not merely a favor to New Delhi but a "conscious exercise of strategic altruism". They praise the US administrations that preceded Trump in the following words:

"A strong India was fundamentally in Washington’s interest, even if New Delhi would often go its own way on specific policy issues. Both Bush and his successor, Barack Obama, turned a blind eye to India’s positions in international trade negotiations, its relatively closed economy, and its voting record at the United Nations, all of which ran counter to U.S. preferences".

Summary:

Robert Blackwill and Ashley Tellis argue that the Trump administration should continue "generous U.S. policies" not merely a favor to New Delhi but a "conscious exercise of strategic altruism". The authors are unhappy with administration’s approach to peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan for for failing "to consider Indian interests". They complain that their expectation that "Trump might put less pressure on India regarding....its relations with Pakistan" have not materialized. In other words, they want US-India relations to be a one-way street where all the benefits flow from US to India in the expectation that at some point in the future India would be useful to counter China's rise in Asia.
