India-US relations: News and Discussions IV

[Amber G.]

Meanwhile hero of many fans here keep talking about :
"7 brand new beautiful" planes were shot down during Pakistan, India conflict says US President Donald Trump;

[saip]

There were NO brand new planes. ALL were a few years old. But Paki planes from China (J10C) were inducted later and so they were newer. May be he is talking about them? Then again he probably does not know what he is talking about.

Amber ji and saip ji,

"7 brand new beautiful" planes were shot down during Pakistan, India conflict says US President Donald Trump;


trumpwa's game is different

he is repeatedly insinuating and implying to the world at large that the french rafales are useless and India is better off buying amriki aircraft and weapon systems. trumpwa seems to have gotten even the Sindoor neutered pakis singing loudly from the same hymn book regarding, and also stressing the alleged loss of Indian aircraft by backing him on the so called losses on the Indian side.

he is pushing sales for the amriki MIC, agro lobby, dairy industry and amriki crude, among other things

trump doesn't need India, it's the amriki economy and the U$ dollar that desperately needs India.

trumpwa and his MIC/agro/pharma/diary and other associated affiliates are all currently engaged in trying to reshape the geo-economic arena of India and her environs. They have finally started to apply specific anti India and anti Modi ji strategies and that is increasingly becoming obvious, as well as, visible. Going forward, this aspect of their geopolitical tactics will become more and more aggressive

India's push to export weapons and weapon systems, is just one case that is causing increasing alarm in the power ecosystem of the US govt and the deep state. India's self sufficiency in food production is another very sore point

trumpwa is like a small trucker's stop in some hick town on an amriki highway going nowhere

traiff toofan trumpwa has painted a huge target on his own back, and the increasingly frustrated and now unforgiving and growing tribe of trump voters are progressively beginning to draw a bead on that target.

The pushback from India and cheen (and many others) may be beyond all amriki calculations/projections and trumpwa's advisors/backers/puppet masters don't seem to have gamed it well enough before unleashing the global mayhem.

no matter the result, the amrikis have lost their credibility and their geopolitical image has been sullied beyond repair

trumpwa's game is different..

Yet there is a huge fan based of that hero.. including many who here who were/are vocal - . Pesh hai : Prez Trump this is from today....

'I am doing a trade deal with India'
'Have great respect & love for PM Modi'
'Have great relationship with PM Modi'
'Field Marshal is a great fighter & great guy'
'7 planes were shot down'
'PM Modi is the nicest looking guy'

If other states follow the lead of Florida, it would lead to a major shrinkage (practically an elimination) in academic job prospects for foreign Ph.D.s. In turn that may lead to more Indian Ph.D.s returning to India. We will see:

BREAKING: In a bombshell moment, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ABOLISHES H-1B VISAS from being used at state universities.

We can do it with Florida RESIDENTS or AMERICANS! If we can't? Then man, we need to REALLY look deeply at what's going on with this situation!"

"I am directing today the Florida Board of Governors to PULL THE PLUG on the use of these H-1B visas at our universities."

[Jay]

If other states follow the lead of Florida,

It's only a matter of time. Every R state that goes to the polls from now on will have this on their agenda moving forward and I will not be surprised if this gets on the Republican platform by the 2028 election cycle.

[Tanaji]

Mind you this is just year 1 of the Presidency. If economy goes south, I can see this being extended to green card holders, then citizens who weren’t born here etc.

That’s against the constitution you say? Trump owns the judges right now…

Meanwhile ToI had this article about slipping academic standards. Definite signs that the constituency for excellence has been shrinking on all sides.

'A' is for average
