Lot of anger towards India in Washington DC at present. Justified or not, that is the fact. Hope for quick remedial actions from India (May be quick clearance for F-18 purchase?)
There was lots of anger in DC towards India when we kicked the portuguese out.
Same for stopping the genocide in Bangladesh.
Same for the nuclear tests.
Same for S400 induction.
US is in a perpetual hair ripping mode regarding India ever since our independence.
I have the best remedy to heal our relations. We should give US something much more valuable than the wee lil money they'll make selling us F18. It's the ultimate currency. It is non-refundable, absolute, priceless and wholly enriching.
It's the currency we trade with US in since forever.
We should give US some time.
Time heals everything or at least puts some lipstick on the pig of a circumstance for a more bearable visage.
