It seems that the US is driving crazy in a long painful stalemate with China.
They might decide to backstab India in order to relieve some pain.
They might ask to China to act together to remove India from the chessboard.
India will be done if China decides to act together.

China is relevant... In this episode, still not sure why you people want to tag with it.

More like jealous. You couldn't even accept the fact how Trump humiliated you in front of the world. So much for this strong anti-China alliance.
In which camp do you guys really belong? Now you want to cosy up with China?You are masters of U-turn. Just like a child pleading for a lollipop.
China has been fed up with India.
India is begging for help, but China will deliver back some blows to make sure that the BJP will collapse under the double down attack from two superpowers simultaneously.
India will likely remain albeit being greatly weakened, but Modi and his cabals will be gone.

Trump and his cabals is all about containing China, and trying to weaken it with every possibilities.
There must be a reason why they have suddenly turned against you.

Whatever Munir sahab put in Trump’s drink at lunch, it clearly had 'anti-India' as the main active ingredient. Man woke up from that meal acting like he just discovered Kashmir on Google Maps

"We live in complicated and uncertain times. Our collective desire is to see a fair and representative global order, not one dominated by a few.
No you do not. Conduct since 2019 is twice attacking another country, financing proxies in Afghanistan and running torture chambers through Hasina in Bangladesh and forcing tyranny on the Bengalis. So no you do not want any of these things.
US is just giving you a taste of your own medicine. How things would have been different if Kamala had won

Trump warns he will ‘substantially’ raise tariffs on India over Russian oil purchases
United States President Donald Trump said on Monday he will substantially raise tariffs on India over its purchases of Russian oil.
Trump last week said he would impose a 25 per cent tariff on goods imported from India and added that the world’s fifth-largest economy would also face an unspecified penalty, but gave no details. Later, Trump mounted a sharp attack and said: “I don’t care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care.”
Over the weekend, two Indian government sources told Reuters that India will keep purchasing oil from Russia despite Trump’s threats. In turn, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller had accused India of effectively financing Russia’s war in Ukraine by purchasing oil from Moscow.
In a post on Truth Social today, Trump assailed New Delhi for buying Russian oil and then selling it.
“India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian oil, they are then, for much of the oil purchased, selling it on the open market for big profits,” Trump wrote. “They don’t care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian war machine.
“Because of this, I will be substantially raising the tariff paid by India to the USA,” the US president wrote.
Responding to the threat, India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issued a statement claiming that the US and the European Union “targeted” New Delhi for purchasing Russian oil after Moscow invaded Ukraine in 2022.
“India began importing from Russia because traditional supplies were diverted to Europe after the outbreak of the conflict,” the statement read. “The US at that time actively encouraged such imports by India for strengthening global energy market stability.”
The MEA highlighted in its statement that the very nations criticising India were engaging in trade with Russia themselves, adding that the goods exchanged include energy, fertilisers, mining products, chemicals, iron and steel and machinery and transport equipment.
“Where the United States is concerned, it continues to import from Russia uranium hexafluoride for its nuclear industry, palladium for its electric vehicle industry, fertilisers, as well as chemicals,” the MEA statement added.
“In this background, the targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable. Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security.”
India, the world’s third-largest oil importer, is the biggest buyer of seaborne Russian crude, a vital revenue earner for Russia as it wages war in Ukraine for a fourth year.
The US levy on India exceeds those agreed by some other nations in deals with the Trump administration. For example, the tariff on Vietnam is set at 20pc and on Indonesia at 19pc, with levies of 15pc on Japanese and European Union exports.
Last week, Trump said Washington had reached a trade deal with India’s arch-rival Pakistan that Islamabad said would lead to lower tariffs on its exports.
Since India’s short but deadly conflict with Pakistan in May, New Delhi has been unhappy about Trump’s closeness with Islamabad and has protested, casting a shadow over trade talks.
Despite former public displays of bonhomie between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has taken a slightly harder stance against the US in recent weeks.
Trump has repeatedly taken credit for the India-Pakistan ceasefire he announced on social media on May 10, but India disputes his claim that it resulted from his intervention and trade threats.
By declaring the Indian economy dead in the water, Trump has put Modi and his party in a bind. Until recently, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party was canvassing support for the US president’s election. Its supporters were holding special prayers and muttering mystical chants for Trump’s victory. There was at least one temple created where a sculptured image of Trump was worshipped.
But Trump has ignored the lavish praise and called out India’s energy imports from Russia and its tariff regime as non-negotiable.
The Indian government said it was trying to figure out a response by consulting all the “stakeholders”, a euphemism for angry businesses whose hopes were riding on Modi’s daring ability to play both sides of the street.
That appears to have hit a dead-end.

Trump thought we will change the trade deal & bury agriculture dependent farmers because of his tariffs tantrums …clearly frustrated.
I agree. India "must stand her ground" and show the Trumpie what India is made of.

Removal of BJP/Modi from power in India is a bad thing from a strategic point of view. The best thing to hope is that Modi continues to remain in power in India. But if not Modi, then someone else like Modi.
But Modi is an ideal ruler for India. The longer India is ruled by an ignorant, illiterate monkey, the better.
