You have brought to fore a very important power struggle that we are witnessing. Earlier, in this thread, I explained this power struggle using what I call the jungle analogy. Imagine this world is a jungle. In this jungle, there are four lions: India, Russia, China and USA. These four lions are locked in an intense power struggle.Both G2, US and China are desperate to stop India's growth, both economy and particularly military including exports.
There will be several attempts to destabilize us. Individual US businesses might not want distribution, such as Apple, but the security/deep state sees us as too much of a potential threat to not sabotage.
China's goal should be self explanatory.
Russia & China are firmly allied against USA. This puts US at disadvantage; it needs India on its side.
China and USA cooperate with each other against India. This puts India at disadvantage.
India & Russia are not allied against anyone but they help each other. This relationship acts as a safeguard, in case, something unexpected were to happen in this power struggle.
Here is USA's dilemma:
Let us assume for a second that India is out of the equation -- just hypothetically speaking. Now, USA is all alone against Russia & China. That is why, it is imperative to develop appreciation for the subtle difference between Chinese and American positions with respect to India. India and USA are locked in a situation that looks very much like game of chicken. USA is hoping, India will yield first. The short India - Pakistan military conflict that just concluded should be seen through this lens. That was the first pressure applied against India by USA. There will be more. If USA yields first, it will be literally a game changing event.
