Former US Ambassador Kenneth Juster says if India finally procures the surface-to-air missiles system, Washington should grant a waiver keeping in mind its larger policy goals.
Outgoing US ambassador Kenneth Juster tells ThePrint's Shekhar Gupta in 'Off The Cuff' that the Capitol Hill breach is not America ‘at its best’, and he is hopeful US will bounce back.
US Ambassador to India Kenneth Juster, whose tenure ends this month, highlights issues of growing market access restrictions, increasing tariffs, limitations on free flow of data.
Juster will be part of 15-member delegation. 3 months ago, a US official had said the envoy and other American diplomats were not able to visit J&K after August.
Kenneth Juster’s Twitter feed, teeming with posts about the sport, are a world away from recent tensions in India-US ties over Trump’s rejection of the Iran nuclear deal, and defence buys from Russia.
Many offices in Telangana have asked their employees to work from home because of heavy rainfall, but it has become impossible due to the internet outages.
The Navy has always been on board with the theaterisation plan, but the Air Force feels splitting up air assets into several theatre commands is futile & will tie up critical systems.
Putin sees this as a victory. Europeans have decided to deal with Trump on his terms for the sake of the larger Western alliance. We look at the lessons for us in India.
hope Uncle Sam understand that every sanction which it puts on india, will push indigenisation of technology. we have enough skills and india can invest to make ourself self reliant like what we have done in nuclear or space arena
Why we should consider every ascept of our country with usa . We are not their slaves . We are a independent country . We don’t have to explain them , why we want to have relation with russia . They are our old friends .
It’s a tricky tightrope act, we must deal with both US and Russia without jeopardising interest of either, main strategy must be to thwart or at least contain Chinas predatory expansion that will ultimately lead to hegemony on the entire planet, this must stop
While conducting its strategic dialogue with the United States, India should have delineated areas where it would exercise complete autonomy : continuing to buy military hardware from Russia, or oil and gas from Iran. More correctly, made clear that strategic autonomy would continue to define its foreign policy, apart from a deep and growing friendship with America. 2. Recall the craven pleading from a waiver for developing Chabahar port. Tomorrow the US will restore the Iran deal and our oil companies will then land up sheepishly in Tehran with their cheque books. After Iran has signed a 25 year, $ 400 billion deal with China. 3. In the US, important treaties with foreign powers require Senate approval. There should be something similar in India. Through Parliament, Indian citizens should know exactly what this alphabet soup of Comcasa,, Beca, Lemoa tastes like. It will be on the menu forever.

We can counter China and Pakistan without help of any country so we don’t any western ally, all the western media is anti-India

If US evoke sactions against India, then we must say to US, thank you very much and good bye for ever.
Any sanctions will be end of US – India ties for this generation…….. Democrats in US Congress will never be trusted again for a long time.

New Delhi should also explain to Washington its reasons to continue its military purchase from Moscow.- WHY!
India needs to stay away from US and have independent policy.
