Both China and India are future threats for the US. Once, Defense Sec, Robert Gates said it and he was right. There was so much hoopla created by the Indian lobby and he had to stop mentioning it.
I share the SAME stance. Sorry it doesn't meet your Indian national interests. Just in a few years, it will become obvious. The US poured trillions into the Indian economy, American jobs were sent oversees, we brought millions of Indian here, all to support "Indian Middle Class" to make India stronger to counter China.
India used us and is still using us. There is strategic partnership in our minds but not in Indian minds. Indian minds are getting the $$$$ to strengthen their country (I know many and have friends who's parents are generals in IA, IAF and IN so don't challenge me on it silly).
When time comes for a direct stand against the Chinese, the West will be shocked. India will NOT go against the Chinese for us. They won't side with us. So why the fuk are we sending trillions over there when we can be growing our economy and creating jobs and advanced tech here? And hell, we took a TRILLION dollar loan to stabilize our system. But never cared to realize what we did with India in terms of outsourcing.
Now, there is such strong Indian lobby who's now using the US system and abusing it. I work with different companies to hire talent for our group every week. We've even discovered Indian companies working here, would use fake papers, wrong visas and would suppress American citizens resumes, and will only promote Indian labor. There is SO MUCH labor fraud / human trafficker going on under the legal disguise of H1B visa that its not funny.
So when I see American interests getting undermined and I can see the writing on the wall that India and China will befriend each other and we'll be told to stay in the North Atlantic.....just like anyone who loves their country, I hate it. SPECIALLY, when we've poured trillions into India to be a strategic ally but she'll be everything BUT a strategic ally. Simple is that.
The deal with Iran is an example of the Indian lobby's pressure on us through various tactics. India needed these sanctions to be lifted for her own purposes. Out of this sanctions deal, India is the ONLY country who gets IMMEDIATE benefits of trillions. While we are still not sure internally how to handle it. The following link will tell you the real issue.
Btw, we are off topic. Open up another thread to discuss this Indian issue. I won't respond to more off topic comments. I have my stance on this as I see the US getting a shorter end of the stick now and long term, and Israel getting jack out of this and Iran becoming victorious JUST because of India. So you can't change that stance, learn to live with it. You have Indian interest in mind and I don't blame you. You won't see me write direct insulting silly posts towards you. You seem to be a bit educated, its time to use it and act mature on this forum. Healthy debate is ok. Healthy cry-baby drama, isn't needed.
