When he was asked why he was so loud in his criticisms of Indian industry when his purpose could be better served by a shrewder approach, he said, “Because I am a Punjabi, not a Marwari”.

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.
US is directly responsible for pushing Russia into Chinese orbit in 2014 by overthrowing Russia backed president in Ukraine and meddling with oil prices to punish Russia for annexation of Crimea .. I think we are not vociferously speaking against such American aggression against interests of russians.. Go to Moscow and Washington as an Indian and we will realize although we have common language(english) with American but can’t understand single Russian phrase… But it’s the Russian people warmth and respect towards India that any Indian will easily feel but not in US. I guess this article is written by an Indian-American who fails to understand Russian/Soviet contributions towards Indian military infrastructure from many decades and that it’s natural respect for India which we don’t get from any country in world…
Did the author also see any hint of Russian proclivity to ‘meddle’ in Indian General elections? The way Madam Sonia Gandhi paid a visit to Russia twice in six months, in April and September 2018, followed by an uncharacteristic haste by present government for defence equipment procurement from Russia (S-400 without offset clause, choppers, rifles, Igla missiles and a whole host of stuff), suggests that something is not easy about the Russian bear in the room…
India sells itself to whoever is willing to give more without realizing the fundamental folly of this. So desperate for American approval they are willing to ignore decades of US aid to Pakistan that was subsequently used against India. Were it not for the Soviets, who knows what the US would have done when it moved a carrier strike group into the Bay of Bengal in 1971. Not only has America emboldened and contributed to Pakistan and China for decades, but they are the reason the Taliban was even armed. Russia was an all weather friend to India and the only reason China anr Pakistan and the US didn’t press further. Now they need India more than they did in the past and what is India doing? Bending over backwards for american acceptance. Those same jets and hardware the US sells is also in the hands of Pakistan and other nations. The US doesn’t care it. It only needs India as a hedge against China now. If I was Russia, I would tell India go to the Americans. Russia could easily sell its military hardware to Pakistan but does not out of respect and deference to India.
A good article. I have been making this point ever since Trump’s election when the deep state (i.e. War Profiteers and the US-NATO-Sunni Axis opinion and decision makers within the CIA, FBI and US media) bucked and hog tied Trump to junk his election speeches and go back to loving the Sunnis and hating Russia:I have been writing of the Deep State created by Nixon. Kissinger and the Tent of Saud which promoted Pakistan and China to contain India and the Soviet Union since the 1970s. One must also remember that it was Pakistan that brokered the entente cordiale between the US and China and that Pakistan received the Islamic Bomb from the US (A.Q Khan et al) before China began to supply it with nukes and missiles.
“This is the second mistake the West made over the past two decades. The first was to underwrite China’s rise as a global power in the hope that it would become a ‘responsible stakeholder’ in the extant world order. The second was to push the boundaries of the European Union and NATO across what Russia saw as its geopolitical red lines. Western support for the ‘colour revolutions’ in Georgia and Ukraine fifteen years ago turned the Russia establishment into an adversary. In other words, the West not only nurtured its own strategic challenger, but also went on to provide it with a very useful ally.”
I think Russia has already explored prospects to engage with Pakistan. President Putin’s visit to Pak in near future will take Pak Russian relations to a new level. Russia will further drift away from India in years to come.
This is an important relationship that India should continue to nurture. Since the Russian economy is overly dependent on natural resources, is not as well diversified as its level of technological sophistication makes possible, the modest figures of two way trade, barring military hardware, will likely endure.
