Actually wanting a favorable outcome from either the dems or repubs is counter productive for India. An embrace by Uncle Sam could turn out to be very very deadly, considering that the Deep State operatives have venomous poison packed in their teeth, one bite could kill you. Having a love-hate relationship is fine and keeps everyone off balance. Letting of the occasional steam/hiss once in awhile is great. India has to pursue its own independent relationships worldwide and not be too dependent on any one nation including the US.

Dr Ankit Shah has been saying that the outcome of elections can smoothen many irritants in the relationship, after all it is the economy stupid. The US has no option but to patch up things with India. China has shown its fangs worldwide to everyone. The US deep state money has been effectively pulled out from China and they are groping around for the next round of investment. No other country can scale up to the levels of China, which means grudgingly India is next destination for many things due to its labor pool, potential scale and other factors.

India will be in many things of commerce. The days of cheap china goods are over - many of them of poor quality and not durable over time. All the cheap trinkets for US christmas sale have to be done elsewhere. India may not be lowest cost but you can expect higher quality and durability of goods. India can get into high value chain manufacture with ease since its labor force is quite capable.

Many things that India is needing in the area of high tech is increasingly becoming rather moot including things like engine tech for aircrafts. I am hearing that our guys are on the verge of 80kn kaveri engine, GE et al can take a hike. Missiles and rockets we don't need anyone. There are many things in which India is the leader and the fact that the increasing educated youth population of India will become global leaders makes me wonder whether we need anyone at all in any area. The more high tech things become the more difficult it becomes to manage and operate the darn thing. The US will at one stage give up on this aspect, since its talent pool will shrivel quite quickly. As it is the US population is getting dumber and dumber by the day.

^ Easily explained by abortion polices in the USA. One reason why Biden is the favorite to win again no matter what the polls say. Wonder if there's similar local factors at play in each country.

Mitt Romney: “I think the border is a very important issue for Donald Trump. And the fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn't want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Biden for it is is really appalling."
MCCONNELL told a closed meeting of Senate Republicans Wed that the politics of the border has flipped for Rs and cast doubt on linking Ukraine and border.

“When we started this, the border united us and Ukraine divided us.”

“The politics on this have changed,” McConnell then told his GOP colleagues.

This is ALL about Trump.

McConnell referred to Trump as “the nominee” and noted the former president wants to run his 2024 campaign centered on immigration. And the GOP leader said, “We don’t want to do anything to undermine him.”

“We’re in a quandary,” McConnell added.
IMO, as always Republicans and Donald putting the country last and the party first!
I was under the impression that the "deal" was Ukr Funding + Border Security. Seems like selective messaging from Mitt.

I think it still is, I don't think Mitt is saying anything else. Checkout Manu Raju's clip.

But by and large Donny boy wants Republicans to start a civil war over an immigration issue he "Donald Trump" told them not to fix, so he can win an election and escape prosecution for his crimes.

This is a sellout of the country to protect a con man.
No patriots there. Just traitors IMO! They know they can't win without cheating.

Texas governor Abott is in India for the Republic Day celebrations. He's in discussion with GoI to provide Texas with arms & ammunition with the possibility of Bhramos-ER to fight US federal government tyranny. GoI will be providing the Republic of Texas moral, diplomatic and military support. :wink:

Delighted to meet Governor

of Texas.

Impressed by his commitment and energy for stronger India-US ties. Appreciate the contribution of Texas to the growth of the relationship.

Confident that his mission to India will be successful.
As retaliation, the Biden administration has stopped all export licenses for LNG from Texas leaving the EU to freeze or use coal. A big win for Russian NG.

Texas governor Abott can be convinced about UPI system of India. That would be a slap on the face of Bidenwa. Visa and AmEx are ripoffs by charging 3% surcharge on transactions. For Texas that would be a savings instead of feeding California (Visa hdqtr) and New York (AmEx hdqtr). Direct bank transfer is already happening with systems like Zelle. If Texas adopts UPI, many other states would follow suit and eventually rip-off systems like Visa and AmEx can be killed.

This is a reasonable question, but I think the real question should be "What is wrong with the USA?"

And I think the answer is summarised by vijayk:

This is a classic interview where the young Vivek R with Lara T reveals the pitfalls of running for President of America. Both parties are stuck in a fortress which is funded by the rich donors. The politicos are actually puppets of the donors. You are already familiar with Bidenwa losing his memory and the judiciary being accommodative of his memory lapse with sensitive/secret documents in his personal possession (they are ready to send others to jail for such lapse, e.g. Edward Snowden, Julian Assange). Vivek says it is feature of Dems that perfectly suits the deep state behind the scenes. Donors want a perfect puppet so that they can advance their loot and agenda. The DEMS may replace Bidenwa with someone more suitable that fits their insane need to be in power and screw the US. Many diversions are created as "Woke smoke" that allow common aadhmi of US to run around things like BLM, ESG, DEI, ClimateControl, etc. The underlying problems are never sincerely addressed but swept under the carpet. The media has taken its mandate to whitewash reality (news that they deem the general populace cannot handle!) and they believe they are doing a service for America and the world. Once as candidate you are not beholden to Donors then the tarring of person starts big time. They go after every little thing and family and try to tire you out. Those with great fortitude stick to their principles (shraddha) and go forward taking that brahman given shraddha as their true north.

Please watch this fantastic extempore speech by Vivek R. Lara T does a super job pronouncing Vivek R's name properly.

The Biden family + loyalists, particularly his wife Jill Biden, ideologically intersect with the party, but seek to keep Joe in power for accumulating wealth will push back on any idea of replacing Joe. What we are witnessing is Jill acting as a modern day version of Edith Wilson who was running Woodrow Wilson's presidency from 1915-1921 when he suffered from a stroke. This will suit Biden family + loyalists and Dems as both will get what they want. US policy wrt India will be that of the Dem party manifesto. An amalgamation of Islamist-American Vaampanthi urban naxalites.

Mort Walker ji,

the amriki version of the luloo rabri devi syndrome, the rabri rajya

The bald truth of the matter is that the global commie mafia is finding it very difficult to relinquish the reins of power.

If trumpwa comes back, he will, first of all, pull out of ukr and then, eviscerate the deep state and disembowel the commies

Five Eyes were asked to surveil Trump by Obama ...

WOW!
There is a disturbing report published on Michael Shellenberger’s Public Substack detailing how the U.S. intelligence community called upon foreign governments to target associates of Donald Trump before the 2016 election. The request to the “Five Eyes” agencies (the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) appears to have come from Obama’s CIA Director, John Brennan.

According to Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag, foreign intelligence agencies were asked to conduct the surveillance, including “bumping” the associates — a term for making contact with or casually engaging a target to generate intelligence. These encounters may also have been used to generate intelligence reports used to support further intelligence efforts by the United States in the Russian investigation.
