Um no.  This isn't about the United States.  India is going to have a choice to make, as is every country.  This is about Dharma.

And for what it's worth, Pakistan is playing an even more dangerous game but is pretty much already on the other side.  Why else was Imran Khan in Moscow meeting with Putin as the invasion started?[/quote]
Let me go further and be more explicit.  India's two threats are Pakistan and China.  Both have territorial claims to land currently held by India and have started wars against India over those claims.  In addition, India hosts the Tibet government in exile.  Both Pakistan and China have aligned softly with Russia.  Pakistan would love a green light to invade Kashmir.  China wants it for Taiwan but Tibet is a secondary area of interest for it.  If Russia is successful it is open season on global territorial claims.  If Russia is partially successful then the world is going to break down into two spheres, China (with Russia as a vassal) and the West (including Japan etc).  Pakistan is at this point completely indebted to China and China will have a huge naval base in Baluchistan.  India will be isolated in that situation.  Nehru's Non-Aligned Movement and protectionist economics held India back during the Cold War.  India's renaissance has been contingent on the post-cold war order.  In a cold war 2.0 situation it's two main adversaries have teamed up.  Russia won't service its second rate weapons if something happens with Pakistan or China.  Low cost Turkish drones are decimating them anyway.  It is very much in India's long term geopolitical interest to align with the West before it is too late.  The opportunity to do that is now.

It's also the right thing to do morally.  [/quote]
Indian-American here and I agree. We need rational, non-sectarian leaders at the helm in India who can see this encirclement and realize what's happening. If we want to save Kashmir from Pakistan and Arunachal Pradesh from China, it's time to side with the West.[/quote]
