| | :Another update. Trump is reportedly having second thoughts about his new India policy, [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2025/08/30/trumps-double-humiliation-xi-embraces-modi-putin/ but the damage is already done]. Modi is refusing to take his calls, and instead trying to reconcile with China. My guess is this is because Modi, like Putin before him, has finally concluded that the neocons cannot be negotiated with and are thus the greater evil compared to China. So going forward we should expect India to leave the Quad, increase its participation with the SCO, and perhaps even begin supporting anti-American proxies in armed conflicts around the world. In that case, Trump just committed one of the biggest foreign policy blunders in American history, which will forever be a stain on his legacy. Hope it was worth it, Mr. President.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 11:20, August 31, 2025 (EDT) | | :Another update.

We were so hopeful at the [https://youtu.be/dJR1xC7GzkU 2019 Howdy Modi summit] in Houston. I'm sure Modi & Indians view it as a betrayal. Why can't American political analysts figure out that a guy who refuses to wear Western dress and chooses instead his own traditional national dress can't be cowed? It would be funny to watch Trump try that same schtick he did with Zelensky on Modi.
