When did India do any aggression? Not accepting being bullied is showing aggression according to you? LMAO

As I said, India is no Pakistan, Modi is no Imran Khan and Indian opposition is no Asim Munir. We are a khudgarz nation.

India continues to buy oil from Russia after Trump's initial 25% tariffs. Now that India is not listening, Trump who may be on his periods is getting mood swing and threating to increase Tariffs more.

Btw, is Bloomberg Indian version?

Modi Defiant as Trump Steps Up Pressure on India​


US President Donald Trump has said he would be "substantially raising" the tariff on Indian exports to the US over the Asian nation's purchases of Russian oil, a move New Delhi slammed as unjustified in an escalating fight between the two major economies. Bloomberg's Jon Herskovitz explains why Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has struck a defiant tone in the face of Trump's tariff threats

@Cpt. Rishwat yes read this version from MSN.
 
Trump has gone on a weird rant in last 1 week against India, lets see if MAGA gets behind him on this.. they do seem to be confused as they have to care about Ukraine now which they weren’t supposed to 3 months ago.
 
World is in a weird stage.

USA is now enemy of India, Russia, Iran & China
China & India dont get along
Russia & China are friends
India & Russia are friends
USA likes Pakistan & Israel
Pakistan hates Israel but loves Iran whom USA hates
Israel and India are friends

Trump is negotiating with a bigger idiot. Modi is paw paw to these loonies. Skilled leaders can handle him very quickly and easily, Starmer gave him letter from the Queen and offered a state visit, Asim Munir gave him a peace prize nomination, EU made some random concessions.

Indias problem is 56 inch chest leader has hot sindoor flowing through his veins. If he does anything to pacify Trump then his chest will shrink in the eyes of his supporters.

They haven't stood up at all. They wrote a letter displaying the alleged hypocrisy of the US and the EU. While it was applauded internally, to the rest of the world, it was basically the political version of the " how can she slap" viral video.

Pakistan’s diplomats figured it out early, all it took was a little tickling of Trump’s ego to get him on their side. Simple. Watching India now attempting to 'stand up' to him is, admittedly, a refreshing change of pace. But let’s be real, India doesn’t have the stamina to keep this act up for long. Sooner or later, the bravado will fade, and India will be forced to toe the line, starting with cutting off Russian oil.

Maga was mainly retards anyway.

Trump led them on a dance about no wars, Russia good, and Epstein files then turned his back on those dummies on all of his major points :ROFLMAO:

Even Indian MAGA like @Champ_Pal has given up on Trumps ideology.

However on the matter of India Trump is 100% correct.

Doesn’t seem to be that simple, everything can’t be about Trump’s ego.

Pakistan is offering something India doesn’t have or can’t.
While actions will play out in next 4-5 years but India will have to buy Russian oil as we have lot of poor people , inflation will go to roof if India goes to market to buy oil.

I believe India could have avoided all of this had India admitted that Trump helped negotiated the ceasefire.

I doubt that, Trump keeps demanding more and more, from his supporters as well.
I just hope India goes ahead with the structural reforms needed now since Trump is directly threatening India of not buying American agricultural products.

I just hope all the Trump loving Indians learnt their lesson.
They better realise Zionists are the same.

If US can be terrible to Canada they can be terrible to any partner that is a sovereign nation.

Farm Laws
Labor Laws
Education reforms
Even Sebi is asking for Derivative reforms.

Farm and Labor reforms are most necessary .

Privatising State Run companies are unfortunately necessary against which there is a lot of opposition with Bharat Bandh.

I hope that doesn't happen. Russia was a long term ally and they are eastern partners. India has had it easy by playing both sides, Trump has done the world a favour. India can choose whichever side they feel suits them, but they can no longer sit on the fence and hope to benefit both ways.

'Don't burn ties with India': Nikki Haley accuses Trump of favouring China while threatening Delhi over Russian oil​

Nikki Haley’s comments came after Donald Trump warned he would “very substantially” raise tariffs on Indian goods within 24 hours, blaming India’s continued imports of Russian crude.​


In a sharp rebuke to US President Donald Trump’s rhetoric against India and his threat to raise US tariffs on New Delhi for buying Russian oil, Republican leader and former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley has called out what she sees as a dangerous double standard in Washington’s approach.

Nikki became Nimrata again :bhajji
 
i got tagged in this thread somewhere so ill give my 2 pennies' worth, no country can exist in a bubble, as large as india is, its long term prosperity is reliant on trade with the west and supplying human capital to the west, getting slapped with big tariffs is problematic, however india has always had a protectionist lean so it was only a matter or time. but india can ride this out if the calculation is that this a trump one term thing, however weakening ties with the usa in the long run are bad news.

this however mirrors a trend of religio-nationalism in indian politics that fails to see the bigger picture for short term consensus building amongst the majority. pakistan went through the same rubbish in the 80s under zia, and india is doing it now, fortunately the average indian is not as radicalised as the poorer less educated heartlands of the BJP extremist so the whole country is unlikely to suffer, but im assuming you will see the magnification of the long term disassociation between the south and the north of the country.
 

India brushes off Trump tariff threat over Russian oil​


India has pushed back against US President Donald Trump's threat to impose higher tariffs on Indian goods. New Delhi condemned Western criticism of its buying oil from Moscow, vowing to protect its national interests.


India on Monday denounced as unfair the mounting pressure from the United States and European Union over its continued purchases of Russian oil.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said the country would safeguard its economic interests amid threats of steep tariffs from President Donald Trump.

What did New Delhi say about trade with Russia?​

"The targeting of India is unjustified and unreasonable," said Jaiswal, asserting the country's sovereign right to secure energy supplies in line with its needs.

"Like any major economy, India will take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests and economic security," he added.

Jaiswal also argued that India's imports began only after Western countries wound down traditional supplies to Europe following the outbreak of the Ukraine war. He also accused both the EU and the US of hypocrisy.

"It is revealing that the very nations criticizing India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia," Jaiswal said.

"Unlike our case, such trade is not even a vital national compulsion."

If US and EU have zero trade with Russia they can go ahead and ask other countries to stop but lol on this.. I do expect MAGA now to care about Ukrainians.
 
Switzerland President is coming to States and Indian Security chief to Moscow lol.

Very similar thing Imran did 3 years ago
 
At the end of the day, it's all about ego, Ukraine is just the stage. The EU stroked his ego, played along. Modi, however, couldn't afford to do the same, domestic politics wouldn't allow it.

EU could play along as they have many MAGA types , growing in popularity every single day.

One can say what they want but the right wing nutcases in South Asia won’t hold a candle against the Western ones.

Yes, also Modi is the leader who cannot be toppled by Army, having said that CIA should never be underestimated they could literally create fire in TN ,N.East, Panjab.

Question is how far both are ready to go before India agrees to sponsor Trump for peace prize lol
 
Cpt. Rishwat said:
That's behind a paywall. So what you call defiance is staying silent and just carrying on with same policy. Just provide some quotes of defiance, or is Modi too timid to answer back to Trump's jibes?

Yes let's look at actions.

One country kills the same terrorist allies under Musharraf
Runs to papa after getting screwed in Kargil
Let's anyone come and drone their country
Begs for imf loans
Does nothing when VIP terrorist guest is killed near their primary military HQ
Thanks for saving their ass in op Sindoor again
Calls themselves the uncalled protector of Muslims but nominates for noble prize as he bombs Muslims..

These are the actions or words from one country

Other country... Calls out bs claims
Doesn't accept trading diktats .goes on buying oil and stands beside an ally
Accepts tarrifs
And is not stupid enough to publicly pick up a fight so that things can be resolved behind closed doors.

You tell me which country will you be proud of

Actually no..
Stamer signed a deal that is pro US. Less said about EU the better . Asif Munir handed over non existent oil and god knows which terrorist assets and airbases...we will know later plus handing over crypto industry etc.

By your token China and Russia are also losers compared to Asif Munir the great. Countries which have nothing to offer stoop to boot licking..powerful countries negotiate for a win win deal.

China and Russia were hostile before Trump took over anyway.

In comparison you guys were jumping up and down as you were supposedly on the softer end of tariffs. The common perception on PP amongst Indians was Trump was offering significant advantage to India at expense of China. @Devadwal for example creamed his pants.

However, a few weeks later, Trump suddenly changed. We have walked you through a significant event that happened in that timeframe but you have put your fingers in your ears and said la la la instead of acknowledging the severity of the blow to India.

India has been reduced to seeking alliances with Afghanistan and on the global stage has been reduced to dead economy and next to the pariah state of Russia.

In your above statement the only factually correct part is Indians expected Trump to be pro India and that has backfired.
OP Sindoor is anything was a massive success..and to make things clear ...Paksitan is a non entity..to be used discarded like a street whore as US has done time and again...blowing up enemy assets at a cost of one jet that is still not proven...is a massive success in any books except indoctrinated army rules am Abdul's...

Trump's tirade has to do with high Indian tarrifs, trade deficit and the fake Russian oil pressure tactics...Pakistan doesn't exist in that equation .as I said it's an expected fact of life that Paksitan will get humiliated in any military confrontation with India since 1947...sometimes unequivocally and strategically like 71 Kargil Siachen..and rest of the times tactically which allows your Mullah generals to declare victory.

Indian relationship is intact with all its allies...including USA ...we are forging a tactical relationship with Afghanistan for obvious reasons...
