  • India will pursue its own self interest as it always has. It has no interest in interdependency on the US and the irony of the US stabbing everyone in the face, while then begging for help shows how irrational they are. They are at best an unreliable trade partner.

    No one can partner with stupidity and chaos.

    They will accept direct foreign investment and will gladly climb the manufacturing capabilities ladder as the Chinese have done so successfully. But they will trust the US as much as the trust China. I.e. not at all.

    Can they? I’m not convinced. They flaunt the rules based international order are engaged in the most cynical version of realpolitik imaginable. China gets pissy if you exercise your own law in your own country while simultaneously demanding you respect their sovereignty and foreign policy goals and operating illegal underground “police stations” in other countries. Seriously, fuck China.

    The US lost their reliable partner status because they are trying to compete with China by becoming like China.

    We can trade, but no deep partnerships can occur with either of them, and we can’t free trade or we’ll get swallowed by the realpolitiks of it all. E.g. dumping to destroy strategic domestic industries etc.
