Basically,
India sold their sovereignty to America by agreeing to sign the CISMOA/LSA which would allow American troops to operate out of Indian soil, in exchange for the NSG seat.
India, US agree on logistics agreement, to be signed in a month - The Hindu
But they seriously overestimated America's ability to deliver the NSG seat. As they found out recently.
It seems India has no idea of what "veto power" means. It means we can shut it down anytime, for any reason. In fact we don't even need to give a reason.
India paid out of their nose for US support, but they did not give a similar payment to us, so they didn't get anything in return.
What crap?
Do you know what
CISMOA is?
CISMOA stands for
Communication and Information Security Memorandum Agreement.
This agreement would allow the interoperability of India and United States equipments.
By interoperability, we mean that there would be access to encrypted and secret technologies or communications.
We note here that so far United States has blocked sale of some of the advanced technologies and sensitive equipments to India on account of non-signing this agreement.
Signing this agreement would help because such advanced technologies and sensitive equipments are generally installed on US procured systems only. This agreement could also be important for multinational operations related to rescue, disaster relief etc.
Now what is
LSA???
LSA refers to Logistics Support Agreement. This agreement would enable mutual exchange of logistics support, supplies and services (LSSS) between the defense forces of both countries. Here we note that United States has signed a so called Acquisition and Cross-Servicing Agreement (ACSA) with NATO countries. Such agreements have also been signed with Afghanistan and Sri Lanka in our neighbourhood.
These 2 would enable technology transfer, logistics and seamless communication between military systems of the two countries.
Further, the LSA would also help India to deal with 21st century challenges more efficiently by correcting the deficiencies in logistics. It would help them to share their experience and strengthen their operational capabilities in joint military exercises, training, and defence equipment sales.
It’s worth note here that India has gained from the US experience in handling cyber terrorism, conducting rescue and relief operations during natural disasters, dealing with improvised explosive devices etc.
The US has also benefited from the Indian experience of fighting on various terrains, dealing with ethnic conflicts, international peacekeeping etc. Further, these agreements also have economic benefits. They would enable cashless supplies to each other’s armed forces on credit.
So dont ever in another post bring out these crap of sovereignty and all just to garner some thankclicks from mindless senseless ones...
Grow up.
