“For the purposes of containing China’s influence and aggressive behaviour across the Indo-Pacific theatre, there is no more important partner for the US than India. And vice versa. Unfortunately, that strategic partnership is under threat from an explosive combination of American arrogance and unilateralism and Indian hubris and prickliness. There is no future in attempts to ground the relationship by relegating India to a US vassal state instead of a respected partner. Matters have not been helped by the propensity of the two countries’ leaders to braggadocio and narcissism.” (08/26/25)
