I am under neither illusion. Trump made a substantial, significant change to U.S. policy towards India

He did? Made them a pariah state, did he? On par with the Axis of Evil?

No he didn’t.

That is not "doing a meanie" - it is a fundamental, dead serious change in U.S. policy towards the country.

You’re forgetting something. Modi knows Trump. As in, knows him and knows that he can make a deal. What kind of deal? Wean them off Putin’s oil.

But with the U.S. switching from cooperative partner into adversary

I’m sorry, but this is really silly. It’ll also some as a shock to the dudes doing Yudh Abhyas up in Alaska right now.

Say. Who do you think they’re training to go against up there? What region of the world looks a little like that?
