US is in cahoots with Pakistan and the Muslim world. Always has been and will continue being so for the foreseeable future. And it doesn’t matter even if Republicans come to power. It will still be the same. It’s better we accept that as the reality and deal with it accordingly.
And it’s not like India is completely helpless. India is a big and powerful country and economically growing everyday. Let US send billions of dollars and weaponry to Pakistan. Won’t make any difference at all. It would have been good to have the US as an ally but India never needed US help in the past and definitely does need it now. It would be interesting to see if US can even survive four more years of Obama before folding up.
Don’t pin your hopes on US, India can do a lot on her own.
You are right about the military comparison. I don’t think India is the least bit worried about Pakistan. It is nothing more than a nuisance to deal with monthly terrorist attacks. These two countries have already fought 3 or 4 wars, each war being more disastrous for Pakistan.
But I can assure you leaders in Pakistan are having hearty laughter every evening during cocktail hour about the dumb Americans.
The entire middle-east strategy is foolish. After Trillion dollars in treasure and thousands of soldiers dead or maimed, Iraq is a disaster, with Iran firmly in charge of events. Afghanistan is even a bigger disaster because the population is largely tribal and uneducated.
The excuse our leaders proclaim is we need the oil from middle-east. What difference does it make who sells us the oil, a dictator, a Mullah or a Islamist. They all have to sell oil to eat. Most of the oil from that region now goes to China. We get most of ours from Canada, Mexico & S. America.
So here is grand dichotony...we fight wars in middle-east with money borrowed from China to protect oil lanes to China! I am certain Chinese leaders must also be laughing their heads of during cocktail hour about the dumb Americans.
