@rammadhav_rss:

A couple of Afghan friends, who managed to leave Kabul in time with India’s help, came over to the India Foundation today. Their sentiment was summed up in d statement: “It’s dangerous to have US as an enemy; but to have it as a friend is fatal”

Kissinger said originally, AFAIK.

And right on cue....

The Retreat from Afghanistan Has Made America's Allies Nervous. None More So Than Taiwan.

Such a interesting question. Yet, real and complicated question is can India trust its Indians? There are anti-nationals at many levels, and yet GOI has to work alongside them.

Similarly, US as a superpower strives for status quo and, we ought to work with them. It can have a odd/even policy. One day, good for India, the other day bashing it.

Yet, this US admin is the most pro-Paki in 21st century, and with Afgan crises, the superpowers will increase relations with Pakistan. That's not great news for India...
