Closest allies: Joint defence declaration of India and USA

You can not be friends with Russia and the United States at the same time. If India is going to strengthen cooperation with the United States - cooperating with Russia will strart to reduce.
U.S. adhere to the ancient rule - divide and conquer. The more the U.S. influence on India, the greater tensions in the relations with its neighbors, there will be local conflicts, terrorism will increase, and so on.
United States - the successor of the British Empire, and Russia - the successor of the Soviet Union. Let the Indians themselves think, with whom they had better be friends.

Who knows maybe the Russians & Indians have alredy cut a deal
& the Info we gain from these JVs will be passed on to you
You never now :devil:

Just Imagine Russians have already access to some of the best that France has to offer & may be US also

On Topic
We are a Traditionally Non-Alligned,We know this S-H-I-T dude trust me
We have good Relations with Iran & Isreal at the same time,Iran & Saudi Arabia at the same time
So why not Russia & USA
What Russia & India have Is a strategic Partnership that is Very Deep & Will exist for Many Years to Come
Just look how much are we cooperating with each other
Fifth Gen Jets,Transport Planes,Nuke Subs,Nuke Reactors
Tell me one country with which Russia has Cooperated so much

& Since 1970s You have good Relations with both China & India
 
What are our strategic goals in aligning with the USA? If it is to contain China, let us be clear that it is India which will be a battlefield, not the USA.

A military alliance with the USA, formal or informal, will mean that India will be sucked up in Sino-American disputes. We have disputes with China, but they are just a schoolyard brawl compared to the looming USA-China rivalry for resources and power balance in Asia.

USA has nothing left in its economy, except armaments, which is what it is selling to us. Its not as if we are getting stuff free. Yes, we should buy stuff where ever we get best, but it must come with tech transfer. Will the US give that?

US has already successfully contained China. India has no role to play either way. We need to quit having these illusions of grandeur.

US still controls the global market in technology, money and education and we need all three.

I hope it is. And nothing will change.

...that only time will tell. But in any case its too premature to draw any conclusion.

Containment is not a one shot game, its a continuing exercise. How do you think China has been contained? And what will be the relative strengths of the two countries 25 years later? Can US go it alone in Asia against China? If not, then besides Japan which is the other big country which can substantially oppose China.

US will always like to play the puppet master game rather than getting into direct conflict. Why else do you think the new found keenness for defense ties? OK, sale of arms is one factor but not the entire story.

As for tech, money and educations, we don't need a defense tie to get those.

I hope it is. And nothing will change.

Problem is that Russia is of no help when it comes to opposing China. That's where US scores. Recent Chinese incursions have made India look for defense partners.
 
The US government makes no deals where it is not guaranteed to benefit at least 2 to 1 over the counterparty to the agreement and woe to any who object to that sharing arrangement regardless of how unfairly it is enforced. Need it be said that on the international stage 'friends' are a matter of convenience and there is no parity? I would hope not.

Oh yes, America will help in this matter. There will be constant conflicts and U.S. advisers will help you selling weapons and advices. Your contradiction need to settle peacefully by negotiations. This has always been the position of Russia. And the West will do its utmost to escalate your contradictions.

I agree. But Indians are extremely suspicious of China, largely because of its nuclear and other gifts to Pakistan.

As Chinese economy declines, and the society opens up, Jingoism will increase among the Chinese. India has also made mistakes by not making serious attempts to solve border disputes with China.
 
Global Firepower - 2013 World Military Strength Ranking

Some how, some way the world needs to get over the idea it is the USA vs Russia or USSR any longer. Russia is only a shadow of what the USSR was and it was really never that much. A dysfunctional assortment of countries that died of its on incompentence.
The USA does not consider Russia to be a threat of any kind, politically, economically, or military. The USA has ten times the military power of the USSR. Russia has about 1/7 the economy of the USA and their investment in military research and development for the last 20 years has been about 5 percent of that of the USA.

It will though, buying the Rafale from the French, billions of military equipment from countries other then Russia, pretty well pulls the plug on the Russian military industry which is on life support already.,

Oh, you can not even doubt in ten or twenty years, the U.S. will be weaker both China and Russia. You will have no allies and nobody will remember you wiht good words. It will be the same story as happened wiht your mother - Britain.
But you will have planty time to deal with your own problems.

Do you read tea leaves, or use a crystal ball when you tell the future.

I spent a good deal of time in the USSR but if I had anthing to do with your mother you would smarter.

Who has inspired you to think that China wants to attack you? If the Chinese suddenly embrace the madness and they will become aggressive, then they will begin from Mongolia, Taiwan and North Korea. What do you worry about? You have a nuclear weapon!

Do you read tea leaves, or use a crystal ball when you tell the future.

Just some knowledge of history of impires, no magic.
