Subject: Re: India, Russia and China
This is the issue you thought was most important, Dope. Constraining China. Yet Trump has done more than any President in recent memory to alienate India and encourage them to foster closer cooperation and interaction with China.

China does matter. So much so that the sideshow in the Ukraine needs to end, and quickly.

Ask yourself this. If all those decades of diplomacy and cajoling India were terrific…then why were they able to be undone in a week?

Maybe you might consider that other nations act in their own self interest and India clearly felt that taking advantage of the situation was in theirs. And then maybe you want to consider how successful all the wooing of India really was…

…or maybe you might consider that Modi knows he’s been caught dead to rights and that he’s trying to send a signal knowing that there’s a sympathetic audience here who in their zeal to bash Trump would bend America over at every turn for the chance.

Or not.
