Dear Pyst…I wonder how you can smell India-Pakistan war when average nostrils should be clogged with Iraq and Afghan wars…lol

You left out the fact that the T-90 main battle tank very well might be the equal of the Abrams Chuck Prez.

Oh I do smell a war in the far East (Pakistan-Indian) brewing in time.

The Mig-29 and Su-30 are SICK fighter aircraft…with the right experience in the pilot position, they’d give our top fighters a good run for their money.

India and Russia had ties when we called them the USSR. Russia has the resources that India needs for it’s growing economy.

CStanley,

Thanks for asking that question. I couldn’t quite understand it either. Very interesting article. IMO, it brings up another example of the results of Friedmanesque “Flat earthing.”

I’m curious about this last comment:

As India opts for unabated flirtations all around, the mighty â€˜loverâ€™ in the White House has so far not shown any visible signs of distress!!! Is this what â€˜true loveâ€™ all about!!!

Does that mean that the US should read India’s overtures to Russia as an attempt to draw the US closer? Shouldn’t the US respect India’s right to pursue her own interests and to be a friend to both powers? Or is India disingenuous in pursuit of friendship with Russia and actually just using Putin to provoke a response like a jealous lover from the US?
