With eye on Beijing, US signals ‘full embrace’ of Delhi

[ironman1]

The USA can offer a lot to India in economic terms.

Currently, the major Credit Ratings agencies (which are all based in the USA) are in the process of downgrading India.

If India were to give up their "independent stance" and move to the US camp, they could get their credit ratings increased and divert a huge amount of American investment from China into India instead. It could greatly speed up Indian development.



That's possible, but Russia is our ally too, rendering them neutral in any China-India disputes (as we have already seen). So America is a better bet for India.

US is never a better bet for anybody ! they are buisnessmen , previously with a long term view for their benefit , but now only for short term gains and they are getting stupid hence . The only country that can take down china in ASIA ( with collateral damage ) is INDIA (RUSSIA has no reason at present ) . and US would love to see that happen , only to see the fall of china, not caring if their instrument will be destroyed as well. and that we understand very well . but there are independent reasons for us to assume anti-china stance only if precautionary .

though sharing long border with resurgent RUSSIA will definitely strain china-russia relation . though you are right , a weaker russia and a stronger china are a different relationship altogether .

Two front war with China and Pakistan will not happen ties with China are improving both with defence and trade this just sounds like USA wishes to sell more arms to India

India and China to hold joint military exercises

This 2 front theory was thought of by the Indian establishment not the US. It was brought yrs before. It got renewed focus when China kept its position firm on Pakistan pre 9/11. It was quite obvious they were preparing moves but for what we can only guess. India at the time did not have any real help. Russian help was questionable given the Chinese influence and Russian weakening position. Who else could India count on in the event of war? Think a bit, wont you? Why does China continously arm a nation that continues to threaten us? Its a win win for them. Why does China keep the border situation unresolved all these decades when it has solved it amicably with all its other neighbors for the most part? This is not some US design. This is completely a win win for both parties.

Like I have always said.....dont rush to judement but prepare yourself for the worst scenario. Let actions speak, co words are meaningless in statecraft.

At the end of the day, nobody has to force it. it will happen naturally on it own. Its inevitable.....and mutually benificial.......when or if it becomes a liability, it will stop. India just needs to remember that and continue to focus on her development.
